I have loved having my son at Highgate Nursery for the past 10 months. I initially started at 2 days a week but have gone to the full week and he absolutely loves it. I feel better knowing he's in safe hands and he has a great time with his teachers and peers all day. Definitely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My girl has just transitioned to toddler room but has spent a lovely wonderful year in baby room/older babies, the staff were always so kind, caring and attentive to my girls needs, wants and overall happiness. As a first time mum i was so anxious leaving her at nursery to go back to work but seeing
how much she loves it here and has developed has made it all worth while. The app keeps you updated so you can always look back on her day and the activities they provide are stimulating and challenging. The only honest feedback I could give was when they transition room to room it would be nice to meet the new staff and see the room too.

My little girl absolutely loves it's here every morning she smiles when she sees the teachers. The staff are very friendly and are happy to answer any questions I have. I just know my girl is been looked after and having a brilliant time and is learning while she's there. I feel parents are always kept

I couldn't recommend Highgate enough. My little boy has been attending weekly since 9 months old, he is now nearly 3. All the rooms have amazing, patient and such caring staff. They're all so lovely. They all go above and beyond with my little boys type 1 diabetes and the communication is brilliant.
I am so grateful that I can leave my little boy in Highgate's care and know his diabetes is handled with care and urgency. The learning curriculum is also fab.

I think Highgate nursery is a lovely and warm and welcoming nursery. I bring my son and daughter here and they both love coming to nursery. They have developed so much coming here and that is all thanks to the staff that works here. All the staff have helped so much with supporting my son and helping
him . My daughter says "like nursery'. Both the manager and deputy manager are so nice and welcoming. They are always there to listen to you and will help you out in anyway they can. The cook is so friendly there and cooks nice and delicious meals . I recommend this nursery to everyone as both my children love it and are both developing well here.

Highgate Day Nursery is the most amazing nursery. The staff are so kind, attentive and compassionate. They take such good care of our two children. We love the photos they send us and the app is great for summarising their day. They are always happy to help if you call with anything to ask. Our children
aren't old enough to talk yet but it is so so clear they love their time at nursery and they love the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. They have gone above and beyond for my son and made sure all his needs are met and surpassed. I had raised concerns with a member of staff about my son having additional needs to find out that the staff had already taken it upon themselves to put an action plan
in place to help my son and give him more 1 on 1 time without me even needing to request so. After this they have been more than helpful and placed meetings for us to talk about his progress and get him additional support from an outside source. Each member of staff I have encounter have been so polite and caring, it really puts my mind at ease knowing he is genuinely cared for while I'm at work.

I cannot speak highly enough of this nursery our daughter has been attending for the last 6 months and our experience has been nothing but positive. The staff are caring and have built an amazing relationship with our daughter. We have noticed how much she is coming on and growing in confidence since
attending. The management are friendly approachable and helpful, they go above and beyond when contacted and nothing seems too much trouble! Thank you for making our daughter's transition to nursery such a positive experience!

I collect my grandson from nursery every Tuesday and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. He always comes out happy with a full belly and in great spirits!
The management team are exceptional and always accommodates any extra time when needed. You can see that his keyworker has a genuine, caring
relationship with him and he adores her.

My daughter has attended this nursery from 10 months old to age 4. She has loved every room and all staff members have been great. They really get to know each individual child and help them thrive. They are super flexible with hours and extra sessions. My daughter is now ready to move on to primary
school thanks to Highgate.

Highgate Day Nursery is a wonderful nursery, the staff are so friendly and my little girl loves it there, she has been going since she was 9 months old and doesn't look back at drop-off and willingly goes in to play. We never have tears at drop-off and I think that's the best review of all.

It is wonderfully reassuring when the children are at an age they can discuss their busy day at nursery with you. Thank you for your review.

Lovely nursery with really nice and friendly staff members. My little girl settled in well and took to the staff straight away. She hadn't previously attended any kind of nursery environment until she turned 3 and staff were very patient when she had any hesitance leaving us in a morning. Two months
down the line, she always rushes to get inside and says nursery makes her happy. Attending has definitely helped with speech and general progression, she has come on a lot since going to nursery. We don't get very many updates on the nursery app, only one a week but it's always nice to see what they're getting up to when we do. Always lovely to see her playing with the friends she's made. Really good team of staff, would recommend to anyone looking to send their child to nursery at any age.

Thank you for your lovely review, we are very grateful. We are aware that most of the children in preschool will be able to discuss their day, so we tend to spend less time focussing on the app.…read more

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.997)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.997) out of 10 for Highgate Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.997 for Highgate Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (339 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 340 Ratings = 4.997
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Highgate Day Nursery is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 113 number of registered child places is 22.6, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
