My son has been attending for over a year now and has just moved into the 2-3 room. He loved the baby unit and the transition into the next room was managed really well by the staff - both for our son and explaining everything to us!
The facilities are fantastic and the staff are really lovely. He
really enjoys going to nursery and telling us about everything he's done and everyone he's played with.

My little boy has been going here for a couple of years now and I can't fault the staff or nursery. I find the staff attentive and helpful with my child and they truly care. He comes home every day having learnt something new and still takes me by surprise! So I would definitely recommend this nursery!

Amazing nursery. The manager is amazing and my daughter loves going to nursery and I have peace of mind when she is there.
The staff are always very friendly and professional and she has made bonds with many of the nursery staff especially the manager.
I would like to know more about the learning
and development side of the nursery so will be booking a parents evening soon.

My second child will finish at Bambino's in July and I can honestly say I will miss the team at Houndiscombe Rd, both my daughters have been so supported by the team. I feel they have been genuinely cared for and looked after, there has been an interest in home life and we have always known what we
should be doing to help with supporting their learning. I would highly recommend Bambinos if you want your child to be in safe hands.

My son loves Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymouth, he never wants to go home. If he could stay all day, every day, he would. He has such a good relationship with the girls at the nursery. They care so well for him and always have his best interests at heart. I never worry about how he's getting on because
I know he is in the best care.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

All three of my children attended the nursery until Xmas. My daughter was in the preschool class whilst the other attended the after-school club. I found the staff really helpful and rearranged the activities to suit each child’s individual needs they were also amazing at doing reading books and homework
books to help support my older children’s learning. Each member of staff we came across was warm and welcoming and that made leaving my children in their care a bit easier. My daughter also has behavioural issues and any problems that occurred with her behaviour were managed amazingly by all of the staff and lots of positive practices were put in place to help support her whilst at nursery but also at home. The manager was always very approachable and willing to help solve any issues we came across as a family. The thing we liked best was that this nursery supported our children at nursery and at home, offering all sorts of guidance whenever we needed it.

My son was extremely nervous about starting nursery when my wife returned to work but the staff went above and beyond to help him (and her).
The staff are all wonderfully friendly and ready to help or answer any questions that we may have.
The contact book we had for him was fabulous and gave us
a little snippet of the day that he had had.
My son especially enjoys making use of their wonderful outdoor area and the provocation room. So many wonderful things for him to explore.
My wife is due back to work in September and our new baby will be starting his Bambino journey.

All three of my children have gone to Bambinos and I can safely say without hesitation, it was the best thing we did to help prepare them for Primary School. The staff are always well presented and knowledgeable of any situation at hand. Hands down the best nursery in the land.


Thank you, Bambinos.

I am very happy with the level of care given to my children and would recommend them to anyone who required outstanding childcare. The staff are all very friendly, welcoming and caring they have helped my children grow and learn so much already and still continuing to help them learn as much as possible.
I believe the facilities are friendly, have a lovely homely feel and are of a very high standard, which we see these developing with the needs of the children, they have a beautiful large outdoor space with my children love using as well as the lovely other rooms they are able to use. My children always come back talking about all the lovely and fun activities they do within the nursery as well as the food which they love eating.

My daughter has been attending Bambino's since she was 7 months old. The staff at the setting are amazing and have really helped her progress through her stages of learning. She loves the setting and we have never had a problem leaving her there, only picking up as she doesn't actually want to leave!
We have made great friendships at the nursery with children and staff, who cannot do enough for you. They accommodate where they can to small changes and are really supportive. My daughter has an allergy and this wasn't an issue with meal times, the staff have changed meal plans for her and brought in things which she can eat. It's been an amazing few months!
We love the setting and would recommend to everyone!

My daughter is now almost 3 years old and has been attending Bambinos since she was 9 months old.
As both partners work full time we could not be happier with the love, care and support our daughter gets as well as the support we get as parents. Her speech is amazing, she learns so many things on a
daily basis. So much care and attention goes into her learning every day.
She would not be the bright, funny and intelligent little girl she is today without all the staff members at Bambinos.

My child was very shy to start with but she now loves going to nursery and asks every day if she's going. She has an excellent relationship with all staff members and I know she is in great hands when I leave her. The children are lovely and play nicely together. There are so many activities to do all
day so my child never gets bored. She particularly likes to go in the garden and play with the mud kitchen and the climbing frame. I would highly recommend this nursery to anybody. We will be sad to leave next year when my child starts school.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.837)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.837) out of 10 for Bambinos Childcare Houndiscombe Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 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 4.837 for Bambinos Childcare Houndiscombe Road is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.837

  • 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 Houndiscombe Road 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 92 number of registered child places is 18.4, 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.
