Both my children have been to Bambinos in Tavistock. The staff are wonderful. They truly care about the children and make sure they are not just playing, but learning through play. They care about their emotional, social and academic development and they always make it fun. I also love that the children
always get outside to play and learn, even when the weather is rubbish.

Our two-year-old has only been attending for a short while but has come so far already in his few weeks at Bambino's. He is becoming more confident, has learned so much more and his speech has come on leaps and bounds. This was his first experience in a childcare setting but Bambinos have really made
him feel really welcome and settled in so well. We were quite anxious prior to his start date, but Bambinos have been amazing and a huge relief to see him so happy and content at the end of the day.

As a parent, I don't believe there is anything quite so heartwarming (and reassuring) than seeing the love and care that the staff dedicates to our children. I also don't believe children are very good liars, so my son's affection towards the staff at Bambino's is a testament to how safe he feels around
them. He is growing up to be a very confident little man, he is kind, he is chatty, he is interested and I know the part Bambinos is playing in that development. My deepest gratitude to them for looking after what is most precious to me, I could not wish for a better place for my little one to be.

My son has come on so much with his development since he started Bambinos. When he started 12 months ago, he could barely walk or talk - he is now a confident little chatterbox, running around all over the place. He always comes home super happy and the staff are amazing. I love the breakdown of what
he's been up to each day.

Can't praise Bambinos Tavistock enough my son has come on leaps and bounds with all their support I have seen such a change in his confidence and willingness in trying new things. They have definitely helped him get ready for the next stage in education. Best decision we made sending him to Bambinos.

My 18-month-old daughter has attended Bambinos Tavistock since I returned to work when she was 10 months old, She absolutely loves going there and walks in like it's a second home. I was a little nervous at first having previously used a childminder for my son, but she is so confident and happy, I really
couldn't be happier with the staff and service that is given. It is like one big family there. Thank you!

My daughter loves Bambinos, she's really come out of her shell since starting 6 months ago. Her language and social skills have grown so much. The staff are all so caring and professional, I feel she's in such good hands at Bambino's. Lots of outdoor play, songs, books, friendships and yummy food -
I'm thrilled we send her here! Highly recommend.

Really pleased with Bambino’s Tavistock. The staff have made my son feel welcome and safe. He has grown so much in confidence since being there and is starting to try new foods and engage with others more easily. I think, although only for a short while, his time at Bambino’s has been invaluable. He
is excited to go there and always comes out happy. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Our 18-month-old daughter has been attending Bambinos twice a week since January and she absolutely loves it. As any parent knows dropping your child off at nursery hasn't always been easy but already she beams with excitement when we say we're off to Bambinos to play with our friends. When we get there
no matter who opens the door to us she has both arms out to go over to them, waves and blows us a kiss and we know she is going to be OK. She has come on leaps and bounds with her speech, confidence and the way she plays. The manager, deputy manager and the girls always communicate well with us and we love the diary entries to keep us up to date on what she is getting up to. It's amazing to see all the different food she is eating, the variety is so much bigger than I had expected. We love how much time they spend outside and the little makes she brings home make our day!

Our 3-year-old daughter absolutely loves Bambinos Childcare Centre Tavistock. They are an excellent nursery that takes such great care of the children. We hear such enthusiastic stories from our daughter about what she has been doing, and friends she has played with. The nursery staff are also excellent
with providing nutritious food for meals and give great gentle encouragement to try new things. I would recommend them to anyone.

Our three-year-old daughter started in Bambinos Childcare Centre Tavistock in December and she did not have the best start. However, staff worked really hard to turn things around and to make her feel safe and happy. Their communication with us throughout the whole process was and remains second to
none with daily written and regular photographic updates on her progress. Our little one is now well settled in the nursery and adores the place. In fact, she even demands to go in over the weekend! There are many wonderful things we can say about the nursery setting, activities and learning methods, but for us it is the kind, hard-working and caring staff who really make Bambinos in Tavistock an outstanding nursery. Staff who step up when things get hard and really care about children in their care.

My 20-month-old daughter has been attending Bambinos since May 2021.
The staff at Bambinos Tavistock have been absolutely wonderful with my child’s settling in period, so patient and understanding. It is evident that she is enjoying her time at the nursery and is coming out chatting and saying new
words and phrases. The manager is always on hand to help and answer all queries and settle those parent nerves. The staff has been amazing with my daughter and you can see she is in the best most trusted hands.
We are very excited at what this lovely nursery has to offer her development and learning over time.

My daughter has been going to Bambino’s since she was 15 months old. She’s now 3 and in the preschool group. She absolutely loves it! All the staff are so lovely and friendly. They do so much with the children, both indoors and outdoors. I’ve always been amazed how much outdoor play they have, as like
most children she loves being outside exploring. She comes out full of smiles every single time. As well as the fun side of it, she learns so much, her development since starting has been amazing. Would highly recommend this nursery.

My two children attend Bambinos in Tavistock and they both love going. The staff are welcoming and friendly and I feel happy and confident they are well looked after and cared for whilst they are attending. My daughter starts school later this year and has attended since she was 12 months old, she is
a happy confident girl, who is ready for school now, thanks to Bambinos. My son who has been going since he was 9 months old has just moved into 2 to 3's and seems to have grown up so much in just a couple of weeks!
Would highly recommend Bambinos to other parents looking for a nursery.

My son has attended this nursery since the age of 1 and has loved every minute. The staff are lovely and are brilliant with him. Will be sorry to leave in September and feel that they have given my son the best start when he starts school.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.863)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.863) out of 10 for Bambinos Childcare Centre Tavistock 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.863 for Bambinos Childcare Centre Tavistock is calculated as follows: ( (215 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.863

  • 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 Tavistock is based on 19 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 19 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.
