Most of the staff are so lovely and my daughter loves going! Had a few issues which have been dealt with very well. Special shout out to two nursery ladies as they seemed to stand out for my daughter!

My daughter has just left Flying Start to commence primary school. She started the nursery at just 10 months old, after spending most of her life so far in lockdown! My two-year-old boy also started at the same age. Both have thrived and it filled me with comfort knowing I was leaving them with such
lovely people. I will forever recommend them as a nursery. The manager has always been so accommodating and approachable and is an asset to Flying Start!

Well, what can I say......This nursery over the past few years has played a monumental part in both my and my sons' lives. The Manager and her amazing team go above and beyond to make sure the children have the best knowledge and tools for starting out at primary school. The bonds the kids make between
them and their keyworkers are unbreakable and I am so privileged to say my boys went to Cornwall College, and Flying Start Nursery. We will all miss all the staff there but I will always highly recommend this nursery to anyone who needs childcare.

I have sent both my children to Flying Start (with my youngest leaving this year for primary school). Flying Start has been amazing, the staff are incredible from the babies right through to pre-schoolers, they are thoughtful and build meaningful relationships with all the children. Activities are well
thought out and encourage children with their development both mental and physical. I couldn't recommend enough, if you are unsure or worried about leaving your kids rest assured the staff here will take fantastic care of your children.

My daughter has been going to Flying Start Cornwall College since she was 11 months old. I cannot recommend this setting enough! All the staff are so supportive, kind, and dedicated to helping all of the children in their care shine. There are a wide variety of activities and fun educational learning
on offer, she always comes home having had the best time. They also have regular updates, pictures and reports so you know what they have been learning and developing. Food has always been provided to be inclusive for her allergies, ensuring she never feels left out. The Manager and her team are all absolutely amazing and we will miss them all! We can't thank them enough for all that they have done to help our little girl be prepared for big school.

Overall experience since our daughter started has been great. Any issues that have arisen were sorted quickly. Our daughter is very happy and staff are very good, including the manager. I think a few more meat options with lunches would be good.

Our son moved from another nursery to Flying Start and he settled in so quickly. He spent 17 months here but our only regret was we wish he had been with Flying Start much sooner. Our son would run in everyday so happy. He loved his days here. All of this is down to the amazing staff. Such a great team.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough! Keep doing what you do!

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. All staff are so caring, but also push her to learn so many different things, be creative and be herself. From the moment she started nursery, we felt she was in a perfect environment to learn and play.
As parents, you are regularly updated with photos
and information about the things your child does during the day.

My two and a half year old son attends Flying Start at Camborne College and has done since he was nine months old. The team are wonderful, professional, kind and hard working, above all else you can tell that they genuinely care about each child and work hard to create a bond with them. The day-to-day
activities for the children are fun, engaging and creative. For us, our son attending Flying Start isn't just about a childcare option whilst we work but a real investment in his education, social skills and wellbeing. This week has been his first one back after the summer and every evening he has come home happy and buzzing with excitement after his day. I highly recommend this childcare setting and can't thank the team enough for the impact they have already had on my baby.

From the moment the nursery manager gave me a tour of the nursery, I knew this was where I wanted my son to go. My son had never been away from his dad or me, so I was really worried, he did cry for the first couple of sessions, but after that he was fine. The staff were amazing with him. Really brought
out his self-confidence and taught him so many skills to get him ready for school.
My son absolutely loved his time at Flying Start and really missed it when he finished. I would recommend Flying Start to anyone who's child is starting nursery.

My daughter hasn't properly started yet but has had her first settling-in session. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the manager has been so helpful with the process of booking my daughter in and all that comes with starting nursery. As a first-time mum I have really appreciated the time and
help I have been given. It's a lovely place with lots to offer young children.

Such a positive and welcoming nursery.
All staff have great knowledge, and any questions I've had have been answered, and they really listen!
A great enriching, learning environment, with amazing hot lunches cooked on site.
My son thrived here, and I'm so glad I found this nursery.
He will be sad

All of the staff at Flying Start in Pool have been amazing. Our son went to this nursery for his final year prior to starting school which he does next week and he has had the best year. He loved going, learnt lots and had some great adventures there. I can not recommend this nursery enough, the staff
are lovely, professional, knowledgeable and experienced and I am very grateful to them all for giving him the best pre-start to school he could have had.

A fantastic nursery and pre-school. Never had a bad experience and always felt I was dropping my kids off in safe hands. The staff are super friendly and brilliant with the kids. The confidence that I've noticed in my kids has been the biggest reward, and the fact they always ask to go and look forward
to going every time says a lot. Would recommend this nursery/preschool to everyone.

I was so apprehensive about my son starting nursery. He has allergies and other health problems. From the moment I stepped in, I felt reassured that my son would be looked after. The staff were amazing and were full of compassion and care for both me and my son.
The manager is fully involved in the
running of the nursery and is friendly and approachable. Nothing is a problem. We have now left for big school, but wish we could have stayed!!

My little one has been going to Flying Start at Cornwall College for the last two and a half years, and I can, hands down, say it’s the best thing we ever did getting her in. She was born shortly before Covid, and her confidence and socialisation were a concern during lockdown. We started her when she
was 18 months old, and she absolutely loved it! She has now finished to start school. Our little boy will, without a doubt, be going there at the same time! The staff are knowledgeable and attentive, and the manager is second to none! Just amazing!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.946)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.946) out of 10 for Flying Start @ Cornwall College - Camborne 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 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 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 4.946 for Flying Start @ Cornwall College - Camborne is calculated as follows: ( (510 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 536 Ratings = 4.946

  • 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 @ Cornwall College - Camborne is based on 45 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2, which has been reached with 45 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.
