Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending this nursery for the past 3 years and I have been very happy with the care he’s received. He’s always happy to go to nursery and has made such good relationships with the staff and other children. We will miss it a lot when he leaves.

Review from Mark D (Father of Child) published on 22 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at the nursery for 2 years now. She started when she was a baby. The gradual increase in our daughter’s development through being at this nursery has been fantastic and she has bags of confidence. They are great at interacting with the children and take development very seriously.
The staff are very professional and work very very hard and there are key members of staff who have been there since my daughter started and they have been incredible throughout. My daughter adores them all so so much. The nursery has been incredible through this crisis that we have all had to face and they have kept infections away from the nursery and that’s a huge effort from the management who run this nursery who have been amazing at every step. I’ve had to deal with bad situations at nursery myself and they’ve stepped up and helped when I needed it. I cannot speak highly enough of this nursery but all I would say is they are brilliant and my daughter loves it here so much.

Review from Stacey B (Mother of Child) published on 13 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have had experience of 6 nurseries and pre schools over the years, and we have been most impressed with Little Diamonds.
My youngest son has been attending since Covid, and it has been a true silver lining to the pandemic. He thoroughly enjoys going, and I cannot believe how fast he has developed
in that time. He can count to 20, recognises double-digit numbers correctly, has been learning about Rosa Parks, can write his name legibly and his speech has really improved.
The first time we visited we were impressed with how well the children played collaboratively in the garden, with mature consideration for their peers. This is clearly emanating from the ethos of the staff, who have shown nothing but love for my littlun' and amazing patience and understanding for us, his parents.
They have bent over backwards to accommodate us, and always have the children's best interest at heart.
We really are fortunate, and I am sure my boy will be streets ahead when he starts primary school!

Review from Pam T (Mother of Child) published on 17 September 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am a mother of a child who is currently attending Little Diamonds at Hermon Hill, my child gets up every morning talking about nursery as she gets ready. She will be singing in the car on the way and talks about the practitioners she is with at nursery. My daughter runs into the gates and is welcomed
by a member of staff who is always happy, smiley and calm. I find that this reassures me that I can be approachable to talk to her and other practitioners at the nursery if I have any messages to say on any particular day. My daughter is engaged in lots of WOW activities because she always talks about her day when we get home. The meals at nursery are prepared fresh on a daily basis and this helps me know that my child is receiving the nutrition she needs. The outdoor space at Little Diamonds is amazing and provided lots of physical activities for the development of my child. I receive feedback via the Wiker app and this is amazing.

Review from Lydia (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I could not be happier with our experience at Little Diamonds. My daughter (just turned one) started just after lockdown and we were still able to have a settling in period (where we sat outside for one hour a day with the key worker). Now she is attending 4 full days a week and every day we get a
detailed report (via an app) on what she has eaten and done during the day. I have always felt they have been honest with us on how she is getting on (for example there was a period she wasn’t eating much or napping). The menu at the nursery is very healthy and varied. Our daughter is very happy there and all of the nursery workers are friendly and have welcomed her with open arms (they all know her name). The nursery has been particularly good during Covid-19 as they have been able to section off the outside area to keep the children’s “bubbles” separate and also there are a few entrances/exits to the nursery. When I’m at work I’m able to relax knowing she is happy and in safe hands.

Review from Gilly (Mother of Child) published on 18 September 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little Diamonds is a wonderful nursery! Every member of staff knows my child's name and she is slowly learning all theirs. They have supported our parenting style at nursery and are observant of each and every detail.
Living far away from family, we had not left her before my return to work. The staff
were exemplary in how they settled her in, working together and with me and my husband, and now she jumps into her buggy on the days she attends asking to go to nursery.
The management is very visible, hands on and communicate very well with parents and the children.
The activities and toys are excellent and varied, and outside play is encouraged all year round, which is really important for us. There is a mud kitchen, a planting area, tunnels and water tables that are there all year round. The thought is put into the creative activities and they have fostered a budding artist in my daughter.
The menus are balanced and fresh, and the staff pay attention to what my daughter eats.

I could not be more satisfied with the care of my daughter and her development has been fantastic since she started. I feel so relaxed during the days knowing she is in safe hands and having a good time. Could not fault it!

Review from Yates (Mother of Child) published on 6 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Both of my sons attend this beautiful and loving nursery. The staff are all incredibly knowledgeable and the management's standards are high - it doesn't matter who you speak to you always get an informed response. It's set up seems very different to the other nurseries in the area as there are separate
rooms dedicated to creative play, construction and arts/crafts. The toilets are also separate to the rooms and the children eat in a dining room together which is lovely. The nursery feels more like a home than a nursery and my sons love it!

The dilemma, where do I leave my baba whilst at work? Easy, Little Diamonds. My son loves every aspect of his second home and so do I, as they treasure him as much as I do. The team have created a home, a fun safe environment to play, learn and grow :). The nursery opening times are very generous
and I never feel like I have to rush to collect him. The location is stunning as they live in a beautiful renovated house where the children can move from room to room and the garden is well though out. My son benefits and enjoys the time he spends at Little Diamonds and I have a very honest open relationship with the team. We are all very happy!

My boy wasn't settled in previous nursery. But here staff persisted and he now loves going. I'm so happy. He gets so excited and waves me good bye when I leave him. He loves all the activities. The staff are superb as well.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.163)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.163) out of 10 for Little Diamonds Ltd - Cambridge Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.792 for Little Diamonds Ltd - Cambridge Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.792
  2. 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 4.371 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Diamonds Ltd - Cambridge Lodge is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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 = 3.8
    2. 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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.571
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
