My daughter has been attending Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymouth since she was 7 months old. The care and kindness the staff showed her meant that I was confident about being able to leave her to return to work without feeling guilty as I knew she was safe and having lots of fun. She has recently moved
to the toddler room and is already settled and loving the new environment. She is constantly singing all the songs she's learning and is a very happy and confident two-year-old.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

We found a few staff at Bambino’s outstanding and couldn’t help our son enough, he was in the 2-3s room for approx 3 months. However, we had to take him away from Bambino’s and find a new nursery due to an incident that happened involving a new member of staff. We were very sad to have to leave Bambino’s,
as our son was very happy there and loved going.
The Nursery seems very unorganised when it comes to routine, the children are also put to sleep in the same room as where children are still playing/ learning, which is a burden on the staff.
My child and a few other children were being told to be quiet during these periods and were not allowed to play with props (in case they made a noise).
When raising a concern with the management about the new arrangement, of children sleeping in the same room as children playing, my husband and I were told that remaining children would play in the garden or the soft playroom while the others were sleeping. However, this was not put into practice.

My daughter loved the baby room and her key worker there and so when it came time for her to move up to the 2-3 room, I was worried she wouldn’t settle as well. But the team did such a wonderful job making her feel comfortable when she moved. After a few days, she was running into her new room as happy
as anything.

My little boy has been at Bambinos from 4 months old I was so worried about him being so little but all of the girls are amazing. The baby room staff make fantastic relationships with children and parents and my son loves his time at nursery. He is always engaged in fantastic activities and they really
support our family through each milestone (weaning, crawling). The environments are beautiful and I cannot recommend Bambinos enough!

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.
