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.

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.

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.
