Best nursery. Both my children went there (youngest still there). Absolutely amazing staff would definitely recommend to anyone. During the lockdown, they sent us information daily to entertain my children. 100% fantastic job by all staff.

My son started at this nursery when he was eight months old for around half a year and he has now returned being two-and-a-half and it’s so lovely that the staff members remember him from when he was a little tot. The observation and weekly activities that you can access on the app, help massively by
making sure we are both on the same page with his learning. He has enjoyed every activity at pool nursery and we have had so much fun at home, joining in with the activities. He has come so far in the last 6 months to a point where I feel he is advanced on many levels. Thank you so much for all your support and helping me with the ideas to do at home with him. I chose November as this was a time my son really got to know the story stick man and it gave us so many activities to do at home, every time going to the woods, he would pick up daddy stick man and his children and he would talk about it every day and it was our routine every night to read/watch stick man.

Both my children have attended Flying Start at Camborne College, spanning a six-year period consecutively with my youngest being in preschool and preparing to start primary school in September. The support received over the years has been second to none and even now, they continue to offer a first-class
service. This past year has been especially challenging for everyone, yet the team at Flying Start have excelled at keeping my youngest safe and have still provided an excellent service, whilst keeping socially distanced. The staff team are fantastic and always friendly. In the time my children have attended, I have not had any concerns or complaints.

Our daughter left Flying Start back in September to start school just as our baby joined. Even though we know the staff and nursery very well we were still given the opportunity to get to know the Day Nursery department. Our 14 month old runs in through the door without looking back. We love seeing
his videos and photos on the EY Log and he is utterly thriving under the care of the youngest babies keyworker. Her calm and caring nature has ensured he has settled in really quickly. We are pleased with the management of the nursery and are 100% confident in their COVID-19 protocols. I can be a bit of an anxious mum but the staff are amazing and handle my concerns with professionalism. Flying Start really does offer family orientated care and we feel valued as a family. It has made my return to work after a 14-month maternity leave much easier. Thank you for the care and attention you give to our happy little baby.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. She runs in happily every time. She enjoys all of the activities that they do. They are always doing something educational and fun, and I always get to see pictures of her getting involved in all of the activities. They've handled coping with covid very
well, making sure all the children are safe but not compromising on their learning.

Our children have been coming to Flying Start since the beginning of August. We have one child in the baby room and one child in the toddler room. We are very happy with the care that they receive and it makes our day at work a lot easier to know they are being properly looked after. Our oldest gets
so excited to go into preschool and he always tells me about the exciting activities that he has taken part in. The staff are very friendly and they update the parent log frequently so that we know what the children have been up to. We have been very happy with the nursery and have recommended it to two of our friends whose children will be starting the nursery within the next month.

My son has been going to this nursery since he was 2 and he has absolutely loved it. He’s grown so much in confidence and has built strong connections with staff during his 2 years of going. The nursery staff are all so lovely and I’ve always known he was safe and well looked after whilst I was working.
I’m very sad that he only has a few weeks left until he leaves for school. However, if I’m lucky enough to have any more children I would 100% use flying start nursery again.

My son is four and will soon be starting Primary school. I am so happy we elected to send him to Flying Start at Cornwall College as he is now well equipped for school life. The staff and management at this centre are excellent, in my experience, they have been helpful, attentive and nurturing. His
key workers have always been enthusiastic and truly committed to my son's personal development and he loves them. The centre itself is beautifully maintained and very secure, leaving me feeling completely at ease knowing my boy is in safe hands. Thank you Flying Start at Cornwall College team for what has been a couple of years of excellent service.

My child loves going to nursery. He has great fun and I have never had any issues overall. Any issues I have had have been rectified by staff very promptly.
When my eldest went to this nursery I feel he may have gone on more trips. I think this may be something that could be looked at so more trips
are organised.

I have done and will continue to recommend this nursery! Both my children attended this nursery and both loved it. They keep up to date with you on everything and all members of staff always make time to talk about any worries you have. The bond they make with your children, and making them feel safe
enough to be themselves is amazing! My little boy went to a nursery previous to this and they put him as an under achiever but that wasn't the case at all, he was just extremely shy. Once I took him to Flying Start he came out of his shell and had so much more confidence! Both children think of the staff as their friends which is just brilliant! By far the best nursery I have come across!

My eldest child used to go to Flying Start at Cornwall College, a good few years ago. I was so happy with the setting and our experience, that I wanted my youngest to go to the same nursery and I haven't regretted it. My little one loves nursery, the staff are lovely and caring. I'm very happy with
this nursery and would highly recommend them to anyone.

The facility is purpose built with a huge hall for the different age groups to play together and run around when it raining, which the 3 age group rooms feed into. All the staff are amazing and have a great relationship with the children. Activities are varied and it's great to see how my LO's progressing
through the EYLog. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Staff are friendly and well qualified, new assistants are guided well and supported in their career progressions but mainly the safety and development of the children is excellent, I've used Flying Start with all 3 of my children and the focused development plan and progression targets are informative
and constantly updated.


One development point would be to allow time to proofread the observations as spelling and grammar can be neglected in the session feedback.

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.
