The games and activities run by the pre-school staff are deeply engaging and educational. My child loves attending this nursery and, aside from the activities, a big part of her enjoyment comes from the attention and love that she gets from the pre-school team.
I am very happy with Highbury Lodge. My son really enjoys his time here. Workers are always thinking of exciting activities for children, so they do not get bored. Activities are well structured and they follow and encourage my son's interests.
They have looked after my little one with eagerness, tenderness and flexibility. I feel I can trust them and this is invaluable when it comes to the people that look after your child.
My little one is always very happy to be there.
The key workers have been exceptional with making him feel welcome and comfortable and understanding the challenges this imposes when dropping off.
My wife and I have been very happy with the nursery, the venue and the staff.
Really pleased with the place and how she has integrated.
We have been very impressed by the nursery. All the staff are very caring towards our daughter and have made her first year at nursery a positive experience. The onsite food is varied and healthy and has given our daughter the opportunity to try a wide range of foods. Our daughter also gets a chance to participate in various activities: music and singing, painting and exploring etc.
All the staff are great at their job and welcome every child into the room and nursery. My son started in the baby room and didn't like it much but the staff were great with him. He moved to the Ladybird room and started to come out his shell a bit and had a great bond with all the staff in the room. My son is now in Bumblebees and has become very confident in talking to the staff. Every member of staff makes him welcome in the room and he has a great bond with the staff.
Both of my children have been to Highbury Lodge and both have really enjoyed the experience, benefitting greatly from the care and the teaching.
Constant updates on the app (Parent Zone) since transitioning from Baby room.
Great communication when my daughter was ill, making me feel very at ease.
Dynamic play - my daughter clearly loves all the different activities - from storytelling and songs to messy play and outdoor play. I've noticed such a difference in her development. She's come on leaps and bounds - thank you!
The staff are so warm and friendly and put time into developing relationships with the children and parents too.
My child has developed perfectly and is now ready, able and well equipped to take on the whole new world of school.
Thank you Highbury Lodge - all of you !
The staff have been fantastic helping her to settle and grow in confidence over the years. Preschool has helped her to prepare for school both emotionally and academically. Thank you all so much.
The staff are really caring and go out of their way to tell you small but important snippets of information about their child's day. Our son enjoys attending and has learnt lots of important life skills already.
Very happy with nursery. Staff very friendly. I know my child enjoys her time here, they do so much with her.
Highbury is brilliant. Since my daughter progressed to the Ladybird room she has gone from strength to strength. The team are amazing couldn't be happier.
The food served seems great and varied.
The office staff are really helpful in the admin side.
The weekly newsletters are good for being aware what is happening.
They are very well looked after, do great development activities and eat healthily. The staff is caring and helpful. I would recommend to anyone.
Highbury Lodge is a brilliant nursery. From day one all members of staff have been welcoming and played a vital role in settling my son who can, on occasions, be upset.
I have noticed a real change in him with his social skills and have noticed his speech developing more.
I sent my daughter to Highbury too and would certainly recommend it to others.
My daughter loves the range of activities that are being organised such as bread baking, dancing, singing and art activities.
We only have the greatest praise for the team at Highbury Lodge Day Nursery. Every member of staff is friendly and so focussed on the development and well being of the children. We are very pleased with the stimulating and safe environment provided.
Great learning, nurturing and supportive environment. We have had two children attend Highbury and we couldn't have wished for more. We have highly recommended Highbury to friends and family. They also now know why we hold Highbury in such high esteem. Keep being outstanding!
