Little Diamond Nursery welcomes new registrations throughout the year. Parents are kindly notified that an interview with the child and the parent will take place at the nursery prior to admission. Children of any nationality, belief or race who have been assessed by the nursery manager would be admitted based on available spaces.

The child’s enrolment begins with the completion of a registration form containing the details of the parents/guardians and the child. Following the submission of the completed registration form, the nursery manager will contact the parents to arrange an appointment for the interview and advise them of the full admission process and the availability of the place at the nursery.

The following original documents and supporting copies must be provided to secure the child’s place at the Nursery.

The age of the child must be 45 days and less than four years old at the time of the enrolment. The child should be able to complete at least 9 months at the nursery before admission to any school.

1. Speech and language as per the age and development stage.

• Whether the child has a nanny or had one in the past
• Whether the child has siblings attending our nursery
• Whether the child’s home is located nearby to the nursery and transportation would not be an issue.

  3. The amount of time that the parents spend with the child.

Based on the initial responses from the parents and where appropriate, the nursery would prepare a report and endeavour to inform the parents on the outcome of the admission process as soon as possible. Parents/carers will be given a copy of our Admission and Cancellation Policy and must sign a contract when their child is admitted.

To guaranty the place at the nursery, an initial non-refundable registration fee should be paid at the time of enrolment following the interview with the child and the parents. The nursery uniform kit fee is optional. The Nursery fees should be paid in advance.
