Little Diamonds Ltd - Cambridge Lodge

Cris

Our little boy has been attending since December and we've been very happy with the nursery. He's only attended 2 days per week as he was already enrolled in a morning preschool elsewhere. We did worry initially that he wouldn't settle in two settings but Little Diamonds did everything to ensure that even though he only goes 2 days per week, he is still very much part of the nursery and have encouraged friendships etc. The nursery building itself is gorgeous and they've done a brilliant job inside. We especially loved that the kids get to explore multiple rooms per day- something that most other local nurseries don't seem to have. We didn't want him to spend all day in one room and here he gets to go to the construction room, art room and preschool room etc all in the same day. We've had a very positive experience and all the staff are brilliant! It's also really good value for money we feel (again comparing locally) - would definitely recommend!

The staff are fantastic, especially the shift supervisors/senior leaders. A special shout out to Sophie who our daughter adored!!

The nursery is constantly investing in their facilities, for example improving the sandpit, building outdoor playhouses, climbing frames and other activities.

The nursery has a wonderful wraparound garden and a lot of their ethos is about spending as much time as possible outside in the garden. This is especially good in the summer months as when you are doing pick-up you get to see all of the little ones playing and having fun together!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Little Diamonds to an

Would say to the a big thank you .

for any guidance that parents need. It's great to see all the Tapestry observations that add up to their learning journey. Thank you so much for all the efforts every member of the staff puts in to keep our children happy and safe.

Good nursery and great staffing. Facility could be more accommodating for meetings or staff lunches. Parking for picking up children is good and location is easy for travel. Would recommend to a new parent.

I'm absolutely thrilled with Little Diamonds nursery! The staff are warm, caring, and truly dedicated to providing a nurturing environment. The nursery is clean, safe, and engaging, with a variety of activities that encourage learning and development. My child loves going there and always comes home with a smile on her face. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a trustworthy and supportive childcare provider. Thank you so much for all your help with my child's development, she has really come a long way!

My daughter really looks forward to her nursery days. I feel like it's run in a very family oriented way very hands on and I'm very happy with my choice in sending my daughter to little Diamonds. And would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Our son (now 2,5) has attended the nursery full time since he was 8 months old and we are so happy to have chosen Little Diamonds. The Team truly cares for the little ones, they approach them with compassion and love making them feel welcome and cared for from early stages.

If I have any questions or concerns they are very quick to resolve this, they are understanding and they care about my child. If you're looking for a nursery I would recommend Little Diamonds, they have no issues with showing you around so you can see how the children interact with each other. It's a very lovely nursery, and your child would definitely be happy here.

Both my children attend the nursery. One is now confident with his peers and building his own friendships which is down to the support and encouragement he has received at the nursery. They both love attending and the staff are always friendly and approachable.

I am extremely disheartened due to my experience with this nursery. The staff members failed to follow safeguarding procedures while my son was there, which is a huge concern for any parent. Additionally, the nursery is very disorganised and lacks any sense of structure. My son's contract was terminated and the nursery refused to use my childcare grant during the last month of his stay, which was completely unfounded and adverse for me and my son. Furthermore, the nursery provided very little feedback on my child's progress and daily habits, which made me feel uninformed and disconnected from my child's development. To top it off, the nursery charges extra fees to some parents who receive financial assistance (in my case a student finance grant) for their child's fees, which I think just reflects the ethos of this nursery. I would strongly advise anyone considering a place for their child here to read the contract in detail before making a decision.

Little Diamonds is a superb nursery on many counts. The staff are exceptionally friendly and supportive of the children. The facilities are very good and the food is loved by our son who is quite fussy at the best of times. Most importantly the only thing that we have ever witnessed when we attend is a child focused approach, the staff just radiate kindness. The way they have struggled on throughout the pandemic is admirable. Both my wife and I offer the establishment 5 stars unreservedly.

My child has been attending the nursery for just over a year now since she was 8 months and she loves going there every morning. She brings home samples of real baking and cooking. She loves the mud kitchen. We see lots of variety of different activities the staff set out. We can see she has developed a huge amount since she joined Little Diamonds and I receive daily feedback from the staff which is very helpful. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone who wants their child to develop socially as well as in lots of other ways. We both give Five stars.

My daughter has also really enjoyed the food and it’s great to see such variety every day.

Would definitely recommend it here to any prospective parents.

A fantastic team and we’re very lucky to have found them!

He’s always been a clingy child but engrossed himself so well and is very well looked after and adored by the team. Having visited all the nurseries in the area, I definitely recommend them.

Have been really impressed with the way the nursery has responded to my children’s individual needs. One had difficulty settling and they gave him all the extra cuddles and time he needed. They also went out of their way to support his language development difficulties. With a lot of thanks to them, his speech has come along marvellously and he is a confident and happy boy. Really appreciated the way they also support my daughter’s advanced language and cognitive abilities by matching her with a room that fits with her development rather than rigidly going by chronological age. Either way, amazing differentiation in care. Both my kids talk about wanting to go to nursery frequently and it makes me feel a lot better when I drop them off!

My daughter settled in straight away. She loves waking up to go to nursery. As a parent I love seeing how happy my child is going to nursery, she always comes home with a clean nappy and she’s always tidy. I’m also happy with how they’ve managed during the pandemic.
