Growing with the Needs of your Child
As professionals, parents and carers we all want the best for children in our care. Bambinos is committed to providing quality child care and education for all children from 0-5 years as well as pre-school, after-school and holiday clubs for children of 5-11 years.
We offer a secure, happy and stimulating environment. Independence, self-confidence, consideration for others and good manners are encouraged. Each child is special and unique and as such we recognise different individual needs. Children learn best when praised, valued and encouraged.
At Bambinos the journey of learning and discovery is fun. We understand your needs as a parent or carer and always aim to exceed your expectations and offer a quality service. You are entrusting us with the care of your child and we place the safety, welfare and development of your child as our number one priority above all other considerations.
Please call us to arrange a visit to one of our sites. The individual nursery Managers will be delighted to show you around and discuss your requirements for your child. We look forward to meeting you.

About Us
Bambinos day nurseries were originally established in 1995 with the site at Woolwell. We have continued to grow throughout Plymouth with the demand for
quality child care provision offering parents and carers a high standard of child care in a safe, secure and happy environment where children can enjoy a
variety of activities to nurture their social, intellectual, emotional and physical development.
We are proud to offer care from a committed and valued team, many loyal and longstanding staff, all highly motivated and fully trained. We pride ourselves in having the best staff available, as well as committing to ongoing training and development ensuring that skills and knowledge are kept up to date.
Opening Hours
The nursery is open 51 weeks per year, excluding Bank Holidays, from 8.00 am to 6.00 p.m. Monday to Friday. We understand that from time to time, you may require childcare outside these hours and all the settings will be open from 7.00a.m. until 6.30p.m. by prior arrangement. The nursery normally has an annual shut down period from Christmas Eve to after New Year’s Day.
Nursery Inspections
All childcare for children under the age of eight years are regulated by Ofsted. We must meet and implement the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework effectively and in line with Ofsted guidance. We are inspected to ensure that we are meeting the required standards across the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework and that children are progressing with us accordingly. We aim to exceed these standards by offering you a high quality and excellent service. We are inspected by Ofsted regularly to ensure that our care and educational standards are meeting national guidelines.Under the new Early Years Foundation Stage Framework, the nurseries are marked against fourteen judgements. The grades include; outstanding, good, satisfactory and unsatisfactory.
If you wish to contact Ofsted the address and telephone number is detailed further on in the prospectus.
If you wish you may access Bambinos Ofsted reports on the internet at www.ofsted.gov.uk/reports/
If you do not have internet access or have difficulty accessing the reports then speak to the manager who can arrange copies to be run off for you.
Benefits of a nursery education for Your Child
- Nurseries provide continuity and stability for your child.
- Nurseries are reliable, and do not become ill, go on holiday or hand in their notice to you.
- The nursery environment complements rather than replaces the parents’ role.
- As your child interacts in an early years group he or she develops personally and socially. He or she will learn to be aware of others’ needs and to share and to make friends.
- Research suggests that there are long term benefits from nursery education. Children often perform better in school and later life and have more confidence.
- Moreover your child’s time in nursery will be happy, exciting and fun. We believe that a nursery education is the best possible start to give any child.
Fees
All prices are available upon request and a non-returnable administration fee of £40 is required upon registration of each child including a deposit of 50% of a normal monthly fee. Parents/carers must give one calendar months notice in writing to surrender a child’s place at nursery or pay one month’s equivalent fees for the place to be vacated. The fees will reflect the actual total number of days of attendance at nursery and further information on fees is detailed in the terms and conditions attached.All fees are to be paid monthly in advance and can be paid by direct debit or voucher payment, electronic transfer or debit or credit card. There is a small charge for card payments. Direct Debit forms are enclosed and are also available from the nursery manager. We do also accept cash or cheques.
All fees paid by direct debit attract a 2% discounted rate for this method of payment.
After your child’s third birthday he or she will be entitled to an amount of free nursery education. You will not be charged for nursery care during the free sessions. The free nursery education sessions are given throughout the 38 school term weeks.
We will give discounts for siblings and we operate a customer loyalty scheme, which the mangers of the settings can give you information on.
