Can honestly say very happy when I drop my granddaughter to the nursery and pick her up and to see her happy to be going, this makes it a whole lot easier to leave her.

Our grandson has been very happy at Flying Start Nursery in Redruth, having started in the Baby Room and now moved up to the bigger room. He enjoys all the activities indoor and out, loves movement and singing and is well stimulated by all the activities provided. Nursery staff were proactive and
supportive in helping with potty training. He loves his lunch there and often has second helpings!

Both my children have attended Flying Start since they were babies and I have always been very happy with the care they have received - I would and do recommend the nursery to other parents. My two boys have very different personalities and as such different approaches have been used but equal care
has been shown. The brilliant staff at Flying Start have been with us through two lots of settling in, learning to walk and talk and potty training. They have accommodated serious food allergies and fussy phases and helped transition my eldest happily into primary school. He only has happy memories of Flying Start which is why he asks to go back in the holidays - as I’m sure my youngest will too.

I am very impressed with the nursery as they made the settling in process great. My son of 21 months old now waves and says goodbye to me when I drop him off which is a fantastic feeling for a mother who then needs to go off to work. Thank you

All the staff are so friendly and helpful, they have helped the development of son massively even though he only attends twice a week. He loves being there with his friends and doing all the activities but his favourite thing is the outside area which is a lovely size and has many different areas to
hide and play in.

Our three-year-old daughter has been going to Flying Start since she was 10 months old and we have all had really good experiences with it. She has been in both the baby room and the pre-school room and really enjoyed both. The layout of the nursery is great with big light rooms and a fantastic outdoor
area with lots of green space. The staff are great and our daughter has established very good relationships with her key workers and other members of staff, who are very supportive and encouraging. She learns lots of new things every day and enjoys coming home and telling us all about them! The staff always give us a good summary of what she has been up to each day and we also enjoy getting photos/videos through the e-learning system.

The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. My little one cries when I drop them off but within minutes they manage to distract him and calm him down. They look at each child and help teach them in areas they feel they need to learn more. I.e. my little one was struggling to share and take it
in turns so they helped him in that area. They were very helpful and we discussed if my little one would be ready for potty training yet. My eldest also attended the nursery and even enjoys going back during the school holidays. I haven't got a single complaint about them.

My son had an operation in October and when he came back to the nursery they did everything they could to help him during his recovery period. My son loves this nursery and the colleagues here are the best around.

My granddaughter has been at this nursery for the last year and I am so pleased with the care she has received! The staff are lovely and always go out of their way to make her feel welcome. My granddaughter has lots of fun, and loves the garden. She is always so keen to go in the morning. My son and
daughter-in-law couldn't wish for a better nursery, and are happy their little girl is in good hands!

Our grandson has been attending Flying Start since March 2015. He is well cared for and looked after. There is always lots to do with many varied activities and he loves playing outside when possible. He enjoys all the meals! The staff are lovely - couldn't be more caring, understanding and helpful.

Both of my boys attend Flying Start. Since September 2015, one since September 2016. I haven't had any concerns, lovely friendly staff. Always got the children best interests at heart, one child is clingy therefore tantrums when I leave but the staff deal with this well.
The other had communication
difficulties and they do the best they can with him which I know myself how difficult it can be. Always well fed, lots of outside time which they love. He's always one is always walking around singing to himself. Good feedback at the end of the day.

My son has been attending since January. In the space of 10 months his development has been fantastic. The staff at Flying Start Redruth are amazing. They are polite, friendly, welcoming, understanding, compassionate, re-assuring, helpful.. My list could go on! They thought nothing of helping me potty
train my son and were extremely supportive. They're like a little family and my son absolutely loves attending. I recommend them to everyone and wouldn't go anywhere else.

My son has been attending the nursery since he was about 9 months old and now his baby sister attends. Both my children love going to nursery and are excited by seeing certain members of staff. We get regular parents evenings to discuss their progress in their development and feedback after each session
is excellent. I highly recommend this nursery because of the high standard of care and it is tailored to each individual child. For example, when my son was gaining a sister, activities were tailored around new babies to get him ready for the new arrival.

My son has only been with this nursery since end of July 2015 and so far I've got no issues with the care they give to him. They care and look after him well and they do lovely activities with them each day he's there so I'm happy.

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.
