This is a fantastic place to help your children become happy and independent. The staff are great and very eager to help you as much as they can. Great experience for my son. He's ready for school with all the tools in place for his school life to begin.

My son has been in the baby room, toddler room and is now going to start in rising 3s.
Since he started as a baby he has loved going to nursery and has been so happy there.
The staff are really friendly, helpful and professional! The quality of care is excellent and I feel all my child’s individual
needs are met.
My son has shown great progress in his learning and development and this is recorded and shared with parents via an app. I really enjoy the photos and observations that are shared!
I highly recommend Highgate nursery!
Thank you to all the staff!

My little boy started in the baby room in June and has settled in really well! The staff have been really accommodating and communicative, using the app to provide pictures and updates which is a great feature. I can see he has come on leaps and bounds since he started which is amazing and he always
comes home in a great mood and looking like he's had a wonderful time there!
Thanks for everything so far!

Review from Emma L (Mother of Child) published on 3 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has just graduated from Highgate in the preschool class. He attended there for over 4 years so this was very emotional for both of us. He started there at 5 and a half months - a very tiny baby who couldn't even sit up. It has been wonderful to see how the nursery has helped him to flourish into
the smart, confident, sociable and rather feisty young man he is now - who is more than ready for school in September (they won't know what's hit them!). The staff have been so caring and encouraging with him. He has asthma and eczema and it has never been too much trouble for them to give special care and attention to these needs. They have also been very flexible in terms of accommodating sessions for him such as extra time in school holidays and fitting in with my working pattern. He's made so many friends there and had a wealth of valuable experiences that I am sure he will remember as he grows up. Thank you to all the staff who have played a part in his care and education over the years.

Really lovely staff, my child really enjoyed going and on days she was a bit upset and didn’t want to leave me they were really accommodating and helped her come into nursery.
Took excellent care of my child and helped her socialise with others.

My son has attended for 3 years. The nursery staff are lovely and they have made a massive impact on his development and social skills. He's leaving for primary school soon but the nursery has equipped him with the life skills he needs to progress. They have always been professional and had his development
and safety at their core. Highly recommend.

Our little boy started in the toddler room a few months ago and is loving his time there, he gets so excited to go and runs in without looking back!
His speech has improved since going as has his confidence.
We love hearing about his day at pick up and the updates through the app are great.
The
staff in his room are super friendly and have made him very welcome.
Management are very helpful and respond to our email enquiries extremely quickly.

A lovely nursery with amazing staff. Cannot praise these girls enough. The care they provide is second to none. It really does say something when your lockdown baby who didn't see many family members or friends for the best part of a year feels so comfortable with these girls within the first month
of starting. She absolutely loves nursery and the girls in the baby room.

The staff are always caring for the kids and the nursery always organises some fun activities for kids to participate in so they will not be bored and kids are active most of the time. I like the ideas that the nursery has some pets for kids to interact with.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started at Highgate Day Nursery in December. He’s loved it since the beginning. He’s always telling us about exciting things that he does and the new friends he’s made. He seems to be developing very well within the room he’s in and loves the staff. He also loves the food and has expressed an
interest in trying lots of new things at home since starting, which is great. We’re very happy with the nursery and the staff. We get good information about what he’s been up to and how he’s been throughout the day. On a management level, the staff are really good too, fast to respond to emails and questions and always invoice accurately and on time. We’re really happy with the nursery and our son is too, which is the most important thing.

Our little girl has been coming to Highgate since she was 11 months old and she loves it here! She has become a very confident, kind and polite little girl and I believe the good influence from nursery has helped. The staff are all lovely and very approachable. I’m sure this time next year, she’ll be
more than ready to go to school.

Each day I drop off my grandson at nursery he's always greeted warmly, he's so excited to go to nursery and loves the teachers, he's at an age now where he talks really well and constantly comes home explaining what a fun day he's had.
His development and understanding have come on hugely, no way could
he have got this at home.
I can't praise all the staff enough for what an excellent start my grandson has had.

We love that the children can talk about their day and let you know (as we already do) what a fantastic time they have at Nursery, making new friends and constantly learning new skills.

I was worried about my daughter starting nursery, because of lockdown she had only really been with me and her dad. However, the ladies here are amazing and so lovely, it set both my daughter and me at ease straight away. My daughter loves going to see them! We get to see all her activities on the app
and they keep us updated with her day to day goings-on. I would highly recommend a visit!

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.
