   They have helped us a lot. We learnt lots of tips. We no longer survive day to day, we are brilliant parents with well behaved children.

   My son now smiles, has friends and sleeps in his own bed. My husband and I are blown away by your support and encouragement. We will tell every one we meet about “life’s secrets”

   Words will never be enough to thankyou, after just 12 weeks I feel like a new woman. I still can’t understand what you did to transform our lives but your sparkle really does work. I will always remember how you have helped us. Thank you Lucy x

   I worked with the administration team of Diamond Families over a period of 4 1/2 years in my capacity as a teacher in a local special needs school and exclusion provision facility. The most defining attribute of the professional and knowledgeable staff was the importance and utmost nurturing respect for students, parents and colleagues alike. In my career it has been one of the most fulfilling and professionally rewarding positions. Health, wellbeing and positive outlook of all members involved in the facility was at the forefront of success.
   Many of the staff had extensive knowledge in a variety of emotional, social and mental issues, including but not limited to behavioural and social issues, fostering and adoption procedures. All staff on a regular consistent basis went above and beyond what is expected to ensure the progress and wellbeing of all students. The facility also provided and promoted family learning sessions, bridging the gap with relatives of pupils involved to promote understanding, learning and strategies to deal with difficult situations.
   I would have no reservation in recommending Diamond Families as a provider due to their professional demeanour and passion for assisting those in need. The ethos behind Diamond Families is undoubtedly commendable and plays a pivotal role in our society.
   Upon looking back at my time with the staff, I acknowledge the skills and strategies I personally gained that have enabled me to be a more flexible, nurturing and competent professional myself, many of which I reflect on regularly. In modern society these skills are invaluable and it is satisfying to see such a well regarded group assisting in the community.
   I wish Diamond Families every success in their endeavour to enrich and equip their clients with the tools to provide for a happy and wholesome future to those they assist both directly and indirectly.

Attending both Muddy Wellies and half term sessions at Diamond Families is so important for our son. 
He really struggles to engage in activities and clubs but he absolutely loves his sessions at Diamond Families and would stay all day if he could!
Emma and her team have really boosted his self esteem and have had a massively positive impact on his wellbeing and regulation - I actually feel really emotional that at last our little boy has a ‘happy place’ that is outside our home where he feels accepted and encouraged.  It can take us hours to get him ready to leave our home for other outings but for his Muddy Wellies sessions he is dressed and ready to go in moments!
Our daughter has also now started to attend sessions and is absolutely loving them too.
Emma you all really do create ‘sparkle’ in our children’s lives and we could not be more grateful to you.

Feedback from our resiliance program currently being delivered at St Thomas More School Catholic Academy.

‘Increased confidence’

‘The notebook that they gave me.’

‘Kindness, resilience and to remember that when you need someone to talk to talk – even with family.’

‘Loads of stuff that I’ll use at home and school.’

‘Kindness and learn to help others when they need help.’

Providing holistic, therapeutic  and engaging provision for some of the city's most vulnerable pupils is at the heart of the service that Diamond Families provides. Their shared inclusive ethos and access to facilities such as the farm,  allows Diamond Families to engage pupils with a range of needs including ASC, ADHD, SEMH and those who have experienced trauma to name a few. They do so with empathy and understanding; with a vision to improve the life chances of all they work with, giving pupils a voice and a chance to take an active part in their journey.
