Little Diamonds have been great for my little one who we foster. They have been amazing in helping her settle in and everyone is friendly and approachable. Their enthusiasm shows through which helps the children settle and have a good time. I would definitely recommend the nursery

We have been so happy with Little Diamonds and the level of care our daughter has received here. She's really happy to go in every day and has built really solid relationships with the carers and children there.

My daughter started Little Diamonds aged twenty-two months and has been there for a year and a half. We have been very happy with the nursery throughout. They have an excellent settling-in process which took place over two weeks, very helpful for her to adjust. The staff team are incredibly warm and
caring, and there is good communication and admin. They offer a broad and stimulating range of activities which is well documented, we get regular updates and photos through the Tapestry system. Healthy eating is a priority and I think she eats better here than she does at home!
They have supported her through all her developmental transitions, learning to use the toilet, daily naps, and going from the Toddler room to the Preschool room.
I would highly recommend this nursery, it has been an excellent foundation for her.

My son has been attending Little Diamonds for the past six months and he has been very happy from day one. The staff/practitioners are great: warm, caring, kind and fun. The activities, outside play and healthy eating are fantastic. I feel very comfortable leaving my son there every morning knowing
he’s really well looked after.

My experience with Little Diamonds has pushed my son to limits of independence I don’t think he would go to if he was at any other setting. The nursery staff are so welcoming, helpful and extremely friendly to both staff and children. I don’t have a single bad thing to say about this place. My son has
flourished here and I am confident he will continue to.

My two year old daughter has now been at Little Diamonds in Forest Gate for just under a year and I can literally see the excitement on her face when I tell her she is going to nursery. And when I pick her up she excitedly tells me what she has done today (very often food related). I really appreciate
the feedback I get from staff in person every day when I pick her up as well as via the Tapestry app.

My son has been attending Little Diamonds for a few months now and he absolutely loves it. It’s so reassuring to get the daily updates and we love receiving the photos to see what he has been up to that day. He has a very varied diet and eats brilliantly there. His development has really come on thanks
to his key worker and we love seeing the new skills he comes home with.

Our daughter has been at Little Diamonds since she was 10 months old and has been extremely happy from the very beginning. She looks forward to her days at nursery and when we collect her it's clear to see that she's had a happy and engaging day. She feels settled and loved at Little Diamonds and is
very fond of her key worker and the other practitioners. The staff are wonderful - warm and caring - and we really appreciate how well they know our daughter as an individual. We were really happy with the way that she moved so smoothly and positively from the baby room to the toddlers - all thanks to the care and support offered by the staff. Feedback each day is detailed and we enjoy receiving photos of what our daughter has been up to. We couldn't be happier with Little Diamonds - it's a really special place!

My daughter was ten months old when she first went to Little Diamonds and immediately loved her key person. The nursery were very flexible about what she did during her settling in period and took on board my desires to stick to the nap times she had at home. My daughter is now 13 months old and loves
going to nursery. She gets excited to see her key person each day she is there and has developed a sense of independence since attending.

We have always liked the atmosphere at Little Diamonds - very relaxed and caring - and the staff clearly love the kids. The pandemic has been stressful for everyone and, while there were grave issues with communication from director level to parents at the start, we have found that Little Diamonds have
dealt with the pandemic’s challenges very well on a day to day basis. Our son runs to nursery every day.

Little Diamonds is a great place to send your child. Our son has been attending the Forest Gate setting since he was 1 and he is now 2 and a half and he has been so well loved and looked after in this nursery and has formed true bonds with many of the staff, even ones who aren’t his key worker. He absolutely
loves attending Little Diamonds and has been lucky enough to be able to attend for almost the entire last year despite the circumstances. This consistency has been so important for him and we are so thankful to all the staff for providing it. We are also happy with the feedback we receive on a daily basis which keeps us up to date on what he is learning and also allows us to connect with him in a deeper way when we collect him. Would definitely recommend sending your child to this nursery if you want them to be well looked after and enjoy their time away from you.

Our son has attended Little Diamond’s (in Forest Gate) since he turned 1. He is now nearly 3 and absolutely loves it. He has made brilliant friends and talks really positively about his key worker and carers within the setting. As a key worker, they were really supportive during the lockdown period
and he continued to attend during really uncertain times. Would highly recommend.

My daughter has been at Little Diamonds for 2 years. I have always been happy with the care she received there - staff are warm and fun, and deal reasonably with difficult situations. She has particularly enjoyed her time there since entering their preschool-age group- the activities she takes part
in during the day are varied, creative and support her development. I receive detailed feedback daily giving me a good sense of what she has been up to. Their focus on providing high-quality nutritious food is something I value, particularly as my daughter is such a picky eater at home! My daughter was recently seriously injured (not in the nursery, but over the weekend) and the staff were brilliant. Once she could return, they welcomed her back, providing closer attention to ensure her bandage did not get wet or dirty. They also spent lots of time with me understanding the detailed steps required to redress her wound if required. I always feel confident in leaving her in their care.

Really happy with the care my daughter is receiving at Little Diamonds. Brilliant settling in period, so she was able to transition happily. The staff are really attentive, welcoming and friendly. They seem to be very passionate about their jobs, so we feel really comfortable leaving our daughter with

An amazing nursery with great staff and excellent leadership. My child is well looked after and have developed a lot from when he first started. There have been lots of new changes and developments to the nursery which has made the nursery 10x better.
I feel safe leaving my child in the hands of Little
Diamonds staff as they have never let me down. They are always welcoming and always there to help if needed. The management is very visible, hands-on and communicates very well with parents and the children.
The activities they carry out are excellent, as it allows the children to learn and enjoy at the same time. They have outside play which is encouraged throughout the year. This is really important for me and my wife. Some of the things they have at the nursery which I found really good was the mud kitchen in the garden and the water tables.
They also promote healthy eating which is one thing my family and I are trying to achieve. I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

Current Review Score: 7.9 (7.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.9 (7.937) out of 10 for Little Diamonds Ltd - Forest Gate 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.833 for Little Diamonds Ltd - Forest Gate is calculated as follows: ( (10 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.833

  • 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 3.104 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Diamonds Ltd - Forest Gate is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.104

  • 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.
