My daughter is just getting ready to leave for school, she has had a fantastic time here at highgate. The staff have really supported her in getting school ready and build really strong bonds with the children. The graduation was such a lovely experience for the children and a pleasure to be a part
of.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 12 months old, so has gone through all of the rooms and met all of the staff. She has loved every minute and recently graduated from preschool. It was a lovely send off and can't thank all of the team at Highgate Day Nursery for all of the care they've
given my daughter over the past 3 years.

End of term is always sad for us as we lose many of our wonderful children to school but we know they will be ready for their next big step - thank you for your kind words.

My daughter has attended this nursery for the past few years, it wasn’t the closest to home however the drive and getting stuck in traffic on the way home was so worth it! Highgate Day Nursery has been amazing with my little girl, they went above and beyond and helped her come out of her shell. Any
requests or queries I had would always be dealt with straight away. Management are so pleasant and approachable, and the staff are lovely too. Nobody will regret sending their child to this nursery. 10/10 from me! It’s been an absolute pleasure sending my daughter here. Thank you so very much all of you wonderful people at Highgate Nursery! Keep being the amazing humans you are!

Review from Holly B (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm very happy with this nursery. I've worked in nurseries myself and am quite picky about them for my children. I was nervous when my daughter started this nursery as she had such a bad experience with a prior childcare provider. I worried that she would take a long time to settle in and would need
a lot of emotional support from the staff. While this was the case for the first week or so, the staff were amazing at making sure both her physical and emotional needs were met, whilst also supporting and reassuring me at drop-of times. She settled within the first 2 weeks and now is so excited about her nursery days. Her confidence and self-esteem have blossomed and she is forever telling us about the activities and friends she plays with at nursery. The staff are so kind and caring and really take time to listen. I feel that the nursery has a focus on supporting the whole family around the child rather than just the child. I would definitely recommend this childcare setting.

My daughter has attended Highgate Day Nursery since January and I have noticed such a big difference in her. She absolutely loves going to nursery to play with her friends. The staff there are fantastic, they are always communicating with me in regards to her progress whether it be through the app or
in person. I am definitely going to be sending my son there.

My daughter started here last month and has settled in really well. The staff are so welcoming and listen to parent requests. They do their best to follow the routine you do at home for naps and it is clear they love the jobs! My eldest also attended here a few years ago and we were happy with the care
provided for him, hence why we are using them again!

This nursery and everyone works in it put me at peace knowing that my baby is in good hands and very well looked after. My son grew to like everyone there. I didn't have any issues since the day I registered my baby in this nursery when he was 3 months old. I am a full-time working Mum and perusing
a postgraduate degree at the same time. My life is very busy and having my child in this nursery really helped put me at ease. Everyone in this nursery is helpful and understanding. Thank you so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son just graduated from Highgate Day Nursery. He started the nursery in January 2021, in the middle of pandemic. The staff in here was amazing despite all the difficulties these unprecedented times brought. My son didnt speak any English (second language) when he started, but thanks to the amazing
teachers he integrated quickly and started to learn new skills, and found friends.
He truly enjoyed his time in the nursery and loved all of his teachers.
Everyone in the nursery is friendly and passionate. I only can say good things about them and they are highly recommended.

Would fully recommend this day nursery. My child has been there for nearly a year and a half and really enjoys it. The staff are amazing, so kind and genuinely caring. He enjoys doing lots of different activities, both inside and out and seeing the pictures and updates they send is brilliant. My child
has allergies and they have been great in providing food that he can eat, anyone who also has this issue knows how difficult it is to avoid exposure when not fully in control, however, I have no issues as to his safety at meal times.

My daughter has been attending Highgate since the baby room, she’s soon moving into Pre School. I couldn’t be any happier with her progress, she has so many lovely friendships and the staff are amazing with her, from helping with fussy eating to toilet training. They go above and beyond. What I also
love is how flexible they are.

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.
