I appreciate all the hard work that the personnel of Diamond Centre is doing for my little boy. I know it is not easy to look after all the children from the nursery and sometimes is exhausting work. But we are very thankful and we appreciate all their hard work. They care for everyone and look after
them very well. A big thank you to all the team!

My son has attended this nursery for about a year now. I must commend their love, patience, kindness and guidance. Thumbs up especially to the manager and to all the teachers.
The teachers are warm and assist my son in interacting with others. They are helpful.

I came upon this nursery when my son's other nursery provision closed. I and my son were worried about a change of venue but all the staff have been welcoming and accommodating. They remember my little ones' interests and incorporate this into his learning. I am so glad I found this nursery as I have
noticed the change in my son for the better and his development has progressed so much, I am forever grateful to all the staff. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Lovely nursery and caring, personable staff. My son struggles with change and had some developmental delays. They have really worked on getting to know him and helping his development. We are regularly seeing changes in him and he loves going.

I find that the staff at Chestnut Nursery Schools are so friendly and helpful and are very good at safeguarding children. My daughter loves coming here and her development is expanding all the time. The nursery is really flexible and spread the hours over half term too which helps massively as they
are open all year round.

All the nursery staff are fantastic. They have supported our son with a rocky transition from another nursery.
The staff are so engaging and kind and our son loves all the different books and activities they explore!

My daughter has been attending this nursery since the beginning of September and being a lockdown baby this was always going to be a challenge for her. Although sometimes apprehensive about going, she walks out of that door every day with a beaming smile on her face, excited to tell me about her day!
It sounds like she does so much whilst she is there and she loves it, always talking very positively about her teachers and the friends she has made there. I have no reservations leaving her there as I know, even if she is a bit upset going in, she's going to have the best time whilst she's there.

They provide a loving and safe haven for kids. I love them. They are so brilliant. I just wish my kid was able to attend the five days of the week since she is a foreigner. She only goes for the free 15 hours per week.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.528)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.528) out of 10 for Chestnut Nursery Schools @ The Diamond Centre 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 4.972 for Chestnut Nursery Schools @ The Diamond Centre is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.972

  • 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 3.556 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chestnut Nursery Schools @ The Diamond Centre is based on 3 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25

    • 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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.8 = 0.306

  • 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2022

I have worked in childcare for over 15 years in a range of settings and with ages 0-11yrs, and I am qualified with a Btec National Diploma in Level 3 Childcare. I left college and started working as a Nursery Practitioner and through the years have worked my way to Nursery Manager. I always knew childcare was my main passion and have enjoyed every aspect of my work since. I feel children require the best start in life and if I can help them achieve this even slightly then I feel proud and grateful for my chosen path in life. During my roles I have extended my knowledge by taking part in relevant training courses and use this knowledge to make sure children are kept safe, stimulated, grow developmentally, flourish in all areas of the Eyfs and show them that when they grow up anything is possible. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
