Amazing nursery and staff. My little boy loves going and always comes out with a smile on his face. He has come on leaps and bounds with their care and dedication. They have coped brilliantly throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and stayed open which has been a God send when I’ve had to work. Fab team.

Our son has attended the nursery since he was eight months old, he is nearly three now. We moved from Sussex and struggled to find a setting that matched our expectations from our setting there. We were over the moon to find Flying Start @ Cornwall College - Camborne. It was clean, tidy, plenty of toys,
materials and facilities. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about their role in our child's development and provide support with things such a behaviour management and potty training. During the pandemic both children were provided with learning opportunity ideas and emails. The communication between nursery and home is great. The use of the app helps give a glimpse into our sons activities throughout the week.

The nursery has been brilliant, my son adores going and also says he has a great time. Potty training I feel has gone much smoother due to the girls' help along the way and working with my son to settle in but on the second visit he felt right at home and slept easily and was a happy boy.

I generally cannot praise this nursery enough. This nursery is absolutely amazing. All the staff go above and beyond to give the best possible care. From the moment my son arrives he can't wait to get in and start playing with his friends. The cooked lunches are always a firm favourite with him.

I absolutely love Flying Start @ Cornwall College - Camborne and would recommend to anyone and everyone. The staff are all so wonderful and make such an effort to get to know parents and listen to concerns with such care. I always know that my daughter is in an environment where she is loved and exceptionally
looked after everyday. Age two and three are such difficult ages and my daughter comes home having learnt something new everyday. The range of activities is fantastic and I feel as though she will be more than ready when it’s time for her to go to school.

My son attends this nursery. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. My son loves going to nursery they do loads of activities and outdoor activities which he loves. Hes learning quickly and the nursery have helped with his development massively. They communicate with me well which helps me to continue
his learning at home and address anything that needs my attention. Choosing a nursery was huge for me and I’m very thankful I chose Flying Start @ Cornwall College - Camborne.

My little boy loves coming here, he is his always greeted with a smile, has the best time and loves his lunches. I always get brilliant feedback from the staff on collection of what he's been doing. I feel they've done a brilliant job in adjusting to difficult circumstances and the kids don't seem phased

Both my children go here and I honestly can’t rate them enough. The support and encouragement they have given both of them has really helped to aid their development. Given the current situation with the pandemic they have gone above and beyond to enable the children to continue to thrive in the nursery

I cannot thank the nursery enough for all their support, especially over the last few months with Covid. They've provided the structure for my daughter that would have been so hard to replicate at home. They have also helped to put my mind at ease, knowing that the nursery remains a safe environment
for all. My daughter adores all the staff and going in is the highlight of her week. As a parent that's all I could ask for.

From when the boys first started this nursery in 2018, we have had such a wonderful experience. Our boys are now 3 and in the last chapter of nursery/preschool life. Just as I thought the nursery couldn’t get any better, a new manager came along and pulled everything together. Each and every single
nursery nurse are so patient and treat the children as if they were their own. And the proof is in the pudding because our boys ask to go every day. I cannot thank everyone at Flying Start enough.

My little girl has been going to Flying Start at Cornwall College since she was 8 months old. She’s now 2.5 years-old and loves going. The care they offer is fantastic and all the staff are always so happy. I trust their instincts and often ask them for advice. My little boy will be joining in a few
months time and I’m sure he’ll also love the Flying Start journey.

It's so hard to put into words how amazing the staff are at Flying Start based at Cornwall College. My daughter started her Flying Start Journey from the age of 1 until she finally went off to Primary School just last month. She was there for about 3 years and she absolutely loved every single second
of it. My daughter has a medium/high level of Autism and the staff here were just fantastic. They really helped her develop and become so much more confident in everything that she does. And not only did they help my daughter, but they also helped me. They could not have done anything more to help me through it all. And I'd like to say a massive thank you to two members of staff in particular, for helping me find the right transition path from the nursery to the school. It was all perfect. We will truly miss you all.

Both of my boys go to the Flying Start Nursery. My oldest is in Preschool and my youngest started nursery in September. They both really enjoy it. My youngest has settled in really well and his Key Worker keeps us informed about what he gets up to. It's lovely that he gets a chance to be with children
his own age, as with covid, I haven't been able to take him to any toddler groups. My oldest son is doing really well in preschool. The Key Workers are really friendly and support him in getting ready for school. He has also made a lot of new friends.

What a fantastic nursery. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere safe and friendly for their child. The staff are faultless and my son absolutely loves it. He started when he was 6 months old and it was a difficult decision to leave him with anyone other than myself and partner, however,
the staff did and still do an outstanding job.

My son has been going to Flying Start since, March 2019 and he really loves going. They have been so good with him through this pandemic, he is a happy, loving boy and is always excited to be going to nursery and is always talking about his friends and key workers. To me, I cannot ask any more than
to have a happy boy who loves going, so I can go to work knowing he's in the right place and he's having fun. Thank you all at Flying Start.

My son has been going to Flying Start since he was 10 months old. He is now 3 and in the Pre-School group which he absolutely loves. His confidence has grown so much recently and that is down to the hard work and kindness of all the nursery staff. My son talks very fondly of them all. He is so keen
to get to nursery and play with his peers. He is coming on leaps and bounds with his numbers, sounds and writing and this is due to the amazing learning opportunities avaliable there. A big thank you for everything you do.

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.
