I just need to say that my son has been in this nursery since he was 11 months. He absolutely adores the place and the staff. Not only has his speech and communication skills enhanced, but also his social skills and behaviour. The staff give advice and go above and beyond for the children here. Remember
they aren't their parents but the work they put in is phenomenal. He talks about school and the friends he has made. He is 2 years and 6 months now and I can't praise this nursery enough. Thank you for every thing you have done. Oh I forgot to mention, the amount of food he eats there is astonishing, from pie to poached fish and plenty of fruit and veg.

Avoid this nursery, my daughter has now taken my grandchild out of this nursery for some of the following reasons; grandchild had toilet training accident at this nursery, instead of throwing soiled underwear away they placed underwear with poo in a nappy bag and then put it in nursery bag on top of
my grandchild's packet lunch and never told us. One member of staff tells you one thing another member of staff says something completely different, grandchild has now started big nursery (afternoons) and they left my grandchild there as they forgot to collect my grandchild who was totally distraught. There's a hell of a lot more that parents/carers need to know about this nursery of which I am not allowed to state but please avoid this nursery. My daughter has had lots of problems with this nursery over a period of months and all they said was give us another chance it won't happen again but the problems did continue.

My kids attended Diamond Day for almost 2 years. It is a lovely nursery and my kids totally enjoyed it there. I was at peace knowing my kids were in safe hands and well taken care of. The manager is so nice and all the other staff are lovely and nice to the kids. Unfortunately, I have to move to another
city and I wish I can take the nursery with me. I recommend Diamond Day, they keep improving and I wish the nursery all the best.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.093)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.093) out of 10 for Diamond Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 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 5.000 for Diamond Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.093 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Diamond Day Nursery 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.093

  • 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.
