Little Diamonds Limited
Good★ 3.9 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 to 19:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2023. Open since 2015, with 42 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Redbridge
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Redbridge from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children are settled and happy as they start the day. Younger children clearly enjoy spending time with their older friends. They have built close bonds with the staff and each other. Children sit together for breakfast before moving off to their individual group rooms. They negotiate the stairs confidently, closely supervised by staff. Children receive praise and encouragement throughout the day. This positive reinforcement means children are developing strong skills, including showing consideration to each other.
Pre-school children show their delight when playing in the sensory tray. This is filled with interesting items to make it a dinosaur terrain. This was inspired following discussions that staff had with children earlier and acknowledging their enthusiasm for dinosaurs.
Children exercise as they play outdoors, selecting activities of their own choosing.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- make greater use of partnerships with parents to provide more regular sharing of information, including any changes, and to support continuity in children's care, learning and development n strengthen the role of the key person so that it is consistently effective in promoting children's progress and development to the highest level.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
