My daughter has been at Redruth Flying Start since she was 9 months old, she is now 20 months old and still loves going every day she is in. The staff are kind and caring, and my partner and I feel massively safe and content dropping her off that her needs will be met and the care given, is fantastic.
We have had nothing but positive experiences since she has been at the nursery and would recommend the nursery to anyone who would listen. My partner struggled at first dropping her off but the staff are not only supportive of our daughter but also of us as parents. We cannot speak highly enough of the nursery and are so glad we found them.

My daughter has attended Flying Start @ Redruth for 2-4 days a week since she was one year old, she is now 4 and a half years old and is starting school after the summer. We love Flying Start, especially the outdoor playing area and the staff.
I feel very lucky to have such a fantastic nursery near
to my work. Flying Start is the only reason I didn't transfer to work in another area yet, after we moved house away from this area.

We used to have our son go to Flying Start in Redruth before he started school. They were great then, and continued to remember our little boy when we started his sister here last year too. She loves it, and is really thriving, and the staff are always friendly. Flying start will bend over backward
to accommodate hours too. The fact they facilitate working usual working hours, (unlike a lot of local preschools) makes all the difference.

My son's key worker really knows him. She is attentive, provides good handovers, recently asked about plans for his school and talked through how the pre school do role play with school uniforms which I think is fab. I am regularly updated on his progress. He clearly really loves his time there. Thank
you

We are so happy that we made the decision to send our daughter to Flying Start Redruth. Every single member of staff there is purely brilliant. They make our daughter feel happy and comfortable and she has so much fun. Having to leave her is always hard as a parent, but knowing that she is going to
be looked after by these wonderful people makes sending her in a pleasure. She has the best time and has formed lovely bonds with each of the staff. They have helped her with her development, supported us as a family, they are kind and caring and seeing her face light up when she sees her key worker or one of the others is priceless. All of the staff are friendly and approachable and we honestly feel like we hit gold when we found them. From viewing whilst I was pregnant, again when our daughter was first born, to when we sent her in at 10 months, they have been nothing but attentive, kind, helpful, caring and they generally make us feel as though we are part of the family. Thank you Redruth!

I can't recommend flying start at Redruth enough. Both my 4 & 2 year old attend and have the best time. They seem to get lots of outdoor time, have fun themed activities set as well as great crafts and curriculum learning. The staff are all brilliant, always really friendly and supportive. You are always
updated promptly about their day and their progress, and contact in general about events/funding/illness is excellent.

The girls at the nursery are great. My son has a great time there and always looks forward to going. He always comes home in a different set of clothes to what he went in as well which is always the sign of a happy well spent day! Nothing is ever too much trouble and they are always on hand to help.
Whenever I have made enquiries about being able to book additional days or hours or enquired about potentially making changes they have always got back to me promptly and have done all they can to accommodate!

Flying Start Redruth is amazing. The staff are welcoming and caring and they provide educational activities that engage the children.The stay and play sessions are a lovely chance to have an insight into the children's day. Special mention must go to their daily app entries. These are fab and the photos
of your individual children make such a difference. It is lovely to see and then to be able to talk to your child about their day. A special mention must go to one particular keyworker who was fabulous. She had so much time for our granddaughter and took the time, care and attention to make her feel happy and settled. She really is a strong asset to the team.

We love Flying start in Redruth. My son is only in twice a week but they are both long days. Flying Start have always been very accommodating of this. We are always greeted by friendly smiles and a warm welcome no matter how dark, wet and windy the morning is. The staff are great at communicating via
the app, which is really useful as it helps us plan his evening meals, and how likely it will be that he'll want to sleep on time that evening. My son is always beaming when I go to pick him up, and wants "more, more, more". I can tell he really enjoys his days there.

Having worked in the care sector, I can honestly say, your Redruth team provide exceptional care and support to our son. From keeping us informed of his development to helping to work with us during the tricky toddler period, your employees are beacons for pro activeness, professional, and compassion.
Everyday they meet us with care and commitment to giving our son the very best start in life. We can't thank you enough for what you do. For anyone considering sending their child to a local nursery, Flying Start in Redruth should be the no.1 choice.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. This is my second child to attend and he has special educational needs. The support they have given not only to him but to me as a parent has been amazing from start to finish. They've gone above and beyond to help with referrals and his development and growth
would not be anywhere near as good as it is without the support the staff have given him.
There is always a good range of different activities daily, the stay and play sessions are great to be able to see what they get up to whilst at nursery. Communication is brilliant, they always let me know how he's been at handovers and it's lovely to be able to see photos and videos on the app. Plus the daily diary is so handy to see what he's eaten and when he's slept. We will both really miss all the staff as he's starting school this year.

Our almost three year old son started here just two months ago and we are so happy with how well he has settled in. His key worker is amazing, they have a really great bond. All the staff are really friendly, the outside space is incredible and the activities always look fun and engaging. They do a
great job keeping parents in the loop about what children have been learning about and great ideas for things to do at home too. Our son loves looking at his photos and talking to us about his day. He often tells us how much he loves going to preschool! Would highly recommend!

A fantastic nursery, lovely caring staff who formed a superb relationship with my daughter early on and changed her from an anxious little girl leaving her mummy and daddy for the first time into a little girl who genuinely loves going to nursery. Cannot recommend them enough.

My little girl has been going for just over two years now and I can't recommend Flying Start Redruth more. My little girl has loved it from the start and now she's going to preschool more, she comes home with a big smile every day she goes! She has learnt so many skills and she is well and truly ready
for school with the help of Flying Start!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.932)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.932) out of 10 for Flying Start @ Redruth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.932 for Flying Start @ Redruth is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.932

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Flying Start @ Redruth is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
