My son started when he was 10 months old.
Within 3 months he started sitting unaided, then crawling and finally walking. Which I know nursery had such a big input in.
The support development-wise has been the best a mother could ask for.
All the staff are incredible! They will go above and beyond
for my son and you can tell by his huge smile when I drop him off each morning.
I couldn't recommend this nursery enough, it's the best decision I've made.

As a first time mum who has never left her son alone, I was apprehensive about nursery. The staff at Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymstock are amazing and took all of my worries away. As a parent, I feel that my son's needs are being met fully and he is treated and cared for as an individual, especially
with his preferences to food etc. I am always given a full hand over and I have seen first hand that our beautiful children and comforted and loved (just as they would if they were with parents) when in this nursery's care.
The nursery always have something new for my little boy to explore and discover and daily gets to play outside (weather permitting). I can not thank the staff enough for their kindness and for allowing my son to explore and learn new things. You are all simply amazing!

Reply from Jess Robertson, Social Media Coordinator at Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymstock

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We understand how big a step it is to leave your little one for the first time, and we're so glad we could help make that transition easier for you.

My son started the nursery a few months ago, I have nothing but positivity and praise for all the staff at the nursery. Everyone is kind, friendly and welcoming. My son hadn't ever been apart from me when he started, the nursery did and still does everything possible to ensure my boy had a smooth beginning
and is content while respecting my parenting style and wishes. Honestly, cannot fault anything about Bambinos Childcare Centre and all the staff there.

Reply from Jess Robertson, Family Liaison Advisor at Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymstock

My son attended Bambinos from the age of 18 months until he left for school, this was during covid and its restrictions. Now my daughter attends and has done so for 18 months. Throughout their time we have only ever received excellent provision, care and service. Both my children enjoyed their time
in all of the rooms and the staff are always so friendly and helpful. My daughter has had developmental delays and various health issues since birth, the staff in the baby room, 1-2s and now 2-3s have been so supportive and understanding of her needs, going out of their way to improve her time spent at nursery. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

This is a great nursery. My daughter started mid-term but was so welcomed and settled in so quickly, she loves it. The staff are great, they give me updates every day at pick-up and really care about the children in their care. We'll really miss it when she goes to school in September!

My little boy has been attending this nursery for around sixteen months and he really loves going to nursery. It is easy to see why as the staff are so caring and go out of their way to make my son's day an enjoyable experience.
I love the new electronic system as it means I can look at photos of
his day and read what he has been up to and how much he has eaten etc.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery.

My second child is currently attending the setting and loves going to this nursery, as did my first. Every single member of staff is friendly, kind and always willing to help.
They go out of their way to ensure children are settled and happy. I wouldn't want my children to go anywhere else!

Both my children attend BambinosChildcare Centre Plymstock and throughout the entire time I have used them, my experience has been fantastic. My eldest has attended since she was 1 (now 4) and my son has attended for nearly a year and both have flourished. The staff have always shown a huge amount of
care and interest in every little part of both my children's development.
The environment that the children have to play in is rich with new things to do every day to capture their interests and is very well looked after.
Both my children are always happy to attend each day and when I collect them they are just as happy.
I would highly recommend it and will always sing Bambinos Plymstock's praises.
Wonderful nursery, amazing staff.

I viewed many nurseries before deciding on Bambinos Childcare Centre. The moment I stepped foot inside I knew it was the one for my son. Not only does he come home happy every time he goes but he is incredibly well looked after and I have seen very noticeable developments in his speech when he moves
into a new room. My daughter will be joining soon and I know she is in the best hands.

Reply from Jess Robertson, Family Liaison Advisor at Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymstock

Thank you for such a lovely review! I'm so happy to hear that your son enjoys nursery and comes home happy every day, our team work really hard to ensure it is a fun and enriching environment for all of our children and we look forward to welcoming your daughter soon!

Bambino’s is a great nursery. My son loves going and looks forward to seeing all the staff. We’re so amazed at his development and can’t thank all the staff enough for playing such an important part in it and helping his transition between the 2-3 room and in to the preschool room so smoothly.
Thank
you for caring for a son so well.

All the ladies are so welcoming and take pleasure in carefully involving themselves with your baby/child. They keep me updated daily on my son's daily activities and feeding/sleeping routines, as well as certain things he has enjoyed doing that day.
Super patient with any questions or concerns and
just make the overall experience pleasant.
You feel safe knowing your child is looked after by this wonderful team.

My daughter absolutely loves going to Nursery and that is all down to the staff and the nursery's approach to teaching and playing with the children. She has always been happy to go in from the age of 9 months which has always made it easier for us as parents knowing she is happy there. The staff are
all an absolute credit to Bambinos Childcare Centre as they are always so friendly, welcoming and informative. I would always recommend this setting to friends with children.

Both our children have been to/attend Bambinos and our entire journey there has been exceptional. The staff are a credit to the setting and my youngest (and eldest!) adore them. I will be so sad when he leaves this year to go to foundation but he will be leaving a happy and kind little boy ready for
his new adventure, all because of the love and support the staff have given him. I would not hesitate to recommend Bambinos to anyone.

Our daughter loves Bambinos. (She's not a morning person) but as soon as she's there and sees her friends there are always smiles. A great team of people and the food being served is better than what I have for lunch some days! They are well looked after and have a great all-around experience. We will
be sending our baby there without a doubt.

My son recently joined Bambinos, and after looking around at other nurseries, we found this one to be extremely welcoming, beautifully decorated and a good feel when we walked in to view. My son loves his afternoons there, and he's very well supported by one member of staff who has been fab with him
since day 1. Couldn't ask for better, and so glad we made the decision to put him here. If I could give more stars I would. All the staff are fantastic!

My daughter enjoys preschool at Bambino’s and she has thrived. She has been going since 10 months old and is now in preschool. She has been supported well through each transition and continues to enjoy going.
She is proud to show me what she has drawn each day and it is lovely to hear about all the
activities that they have done. The staff are always really friendly and have built a lovely rapport with my daughter.

Bambinos go above and beyond! My daughter attended for a short while and my son still attends. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. They look after my child so well and tailor their care to his little personality. When my son was poorly, they offered daily support whilst we stayed
in the hospital and it meant a lot to us as a family. They are such a lovely team at Plymstock and the managers are amazing- it is so well run. I would absolutely recommend it to any future parents thinking about childcare settings.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.964)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.964) out of 10 for Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymstock is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.964 for Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymstock is calculated as follows: ( (267 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.964

  • 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 Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymstock is based on 23 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 23 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.
