My son has been attending this nursery for almost 2years now and it's been an amazing experience. I highly recommend Diadems day nursery. The staff is highly professional and friendly. They give daily and weekly reports about my child.Their personalised plan for every child helped my son meet his developmental milestones. Within 4months of attending, he went from only saying single words to saying sentences, his social skills improved, he made friends and now shares stories about books he reads at nursery. He is always excited to go to "school" as he calls it. They have a beautiful outdoor play area which is also a plus.

My family experienced this amazing nursery when we needed it most, not only was picking and dropping our son made easy, my son started attending this nursery without uttering a word and reaching his developmental milestone. Just within a period of 3 months, my family started to see amazing results. Now he speaks full sentences, including using the magic words, 'yes please', 'No thank you', 'excuse me....'he waits his turn and wears his coat by himself. He is not yet 28months My family is utterly grateful and as a mum, I would say this nursery is home away from home.

I highly recommend this nursery! My son absolutely loves it there, especially his teachers. He gets so excited to see them that he has even cries when leaving. It's wonderful to see how engaged he is in learning, as he has been taught about healthy foods and even colors in Spanish. The nursery also goes above and beyond with extra activities like teaching about plants, 🌱 and trips to the library. I couldn't be happier with the experience my son is having at this nursery.

My daughter started going to this Diadems nursery when her previous one closed down. The staff made the transition for her so easy and she loves going there ! It has built her confidence up so much ,she enjoys telling me what she has been doing during her time there especially since they started teaching Spanish and she always comes home with new pictures for me . I highly recommend Diadems
