My son has attended Highgate Day Nursery for over two years and I have nothing but appreciation for staff and the care they provide for my son.
Every teacher and key worker my child has been assigned has always paid the utmost attention to my child and always given him that extra bit of support he
needs, my child has never left nursery having a down day and he enjoys it there so much and loves all his teachers which, as a parent, is all you can ask for.
Brilliant nursery, staff and care.
I could not have chosen a better nursery and I am so thankful for all the support they have given my child and continue to give him every week and also me, as a parent.

Staff really do appreciate such lovely words of thanks. Learning and development are important aspects of our teaching but if children are not secure and happy this will not be effective, so grateful…read more

My daughter really loves coming to Highgate Day Nursery and enjoys her time here. The staff are amazing and do such a wonderful job. My daughter has progressed in her development here and her speech has improved so much. I have noticed the difference in her development from when she first started. The
nursery is always accommodating to any needs that we have and is quite helpful.

Taking my grandson to nursery is a lovely experience. I know he is in good hands as when the door opens to let him in, he is off like a shot without a care in the world. I like the regular updates from the nursery telling us what the kids have been up to. His reading, counting and conversation have
come on leaps and bounds since he started going.

Thank you for your kind words and showing how you, as a grandparent, can see the rapid development.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
You need to select a month to review, but my review will cover all of the time my son has been here.
Honestly... what a fantastic nursery this place is. My son has thrived. Thrived. He is so confident in all he does; he jumps to the nursery nurse as soon as they open the door and is eager to start
the day, we get regular pictures and updates of the activities he does and they keep us updated outside of that too.
As a new mum, finding a place for your child is daunting and scary. However, the people here do everything they can to reassure us and give your child the best possible environment they could have. I'm so lucky to have this nursery for my child and would recommend to absolutely everyone. Your child will be so well looked after.

Both my children have attended Highgate and benefitted from the level of care, teaching and opportunity to socialise with children their own age. The staff are so friendly and accommodating, and very helpful, didn’t have a really long waitlist when I needed them the most.

My daughter loves going to nursery and initially, we thought it would be hard for her as it was a new environment but she adapted well. The staff are amazing, very flexible with the schedule. They will monitor her progress, and learning and update us regularly. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My little boy started going to Highgate when he turned 2 years old and he has come on so much since he started. He is forever looking at the nursery pictures we get sent through on the app and likes to show us all what he's been doing. He's taken a real shine to one of his teachers and mentions her
all the time which is lovely. I always get a fast response when I email regarding anything too. I would highly recommend Highgate.

Attachment is really important for children to feel secure in their environment, something staff strive to ensure happens early on. Thank you for taking time to write a lovely review.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started the nursery after his first year. The setting has really helped him to nurture and grow. My son has special needs and the management has been proactive in sorting his earlier development through timely reviews. He is getting better with time.
The staff are always supportive and show
genuine concern and understanding.
He has settled quite well and is happy to go in always. They also adjust to his needs, the observations also help to get a picture of his personality and activities on a regular basis.
It's been a great journey so far and I'm happy with the overall progress.
Parking is a bonus and the location is great too!
Thanks to all the staff and management for their hard work in making it a brilliant place for kids.

My daughter has recently started in the baby room at Highgate and we could not be happier with the care from the lovely staff. We receive updates every session about her day through the app with lots of observations coming through too! She loves the outdoor play area and really enjoyed her music session
last week!

Our baby has been with Highgate Day Nursery for over a month, and it was a transition I was very apprehensive about as he is so little but we needed to get him settled before my return to work. There are lots of toys for him to play with and there is a nice mix (he loves the musical instruments and
you can always keep him occupied with a book). Staff were very supportive while getting him settled and encouraged us to call and check in to see how he was getting on. I feel in the loop, I enjoy seeing what he has been eating or doing on the app, and staff give a good overview when we collect him. It's nice to know our baby can still be somewhere he can get cuddles and support. We are really pleased with our decision to put our baby at Highgate and know staff have his best interests at heart. We can't wait to see how he develops and keeps exploring over the coming months! Thank you to everyone who keeps him safe, happy, and well.

After having my first baby and maternity leave finishing, I had to go back to work part time, resulting in my son starting nursery at seven months old. I felt like the world's worst Mum and I was heartbroken. However, this nursery is unbelievably incredible. Great communication with me, my son has so
much fun here, visual observations via the app really helped me too because I can see him have fun. The girls are an incredible team and always go out of their way to support and encourage my son's development and abilities. Would really recommend it here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has attended this nursery setting from the baby room and has flourished in her time there. Her speech has come on so much more than her sibling who did not attend nursery. It is a structured learning environment but more importantly she has always had lots of fun and looks forward to attending.
Her confidence has grown so much and the staff are very supportive of her care needs. She leaves this month and will be very sad to leave her friends and staff behind but we are very happy with how she settled into the setting and how accommodating the staff have been. This is the best nursery in Handsworth and very flexible (I do have an older child who attended different settings).

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.
