Overall Experience

My son's speech and vocabulary has improved significantly, thanks to the fantastic team in the bumblebee room. They are very welcoming and my son has settled in quickly. He is always happy to be dropped off and often doesn't want to leave at the end of the day.

I am really happy with Highbury Lodge and more importantly my little boy loves going to nursery. He has come on so much and has a really varied day. The staff are all very friendly. The surroundings of the nursery are like a home from home.

Review from Lee B (Father of Child) published on 2 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I feel that my child is happy at Highbury Lodge, she always talks about nursery at home, and that she is going to see her friends. She has settled well into the rooms she has been in and the staff provide a wide range of activities based on my childs interests. She has bonded well with the staff, who are very caring and ensure she is happy in her room.

Overall Experience

My son has settled into Caterpillars really quickly and is very happy left with all members of staff. The activities are reviewed and I really appreciate the full debrief at the end of every day as it helps us mirror his nursery activities at home!

Thank you so much.

Review from Alison N (Mother of Child) published on 2 November 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The staff in Caterpillar room have been excellent on all levels. I really feel that they have been instrumental in helping with my son's developmental progress both emotionally, socially and educationally. Two members of staff in particular provide a secure and nurturing environment and have both been key in ensuring that my son is happy and settled. I am confident and relaxed in leaving him in the caterpillar room and know the care he is receiving is of excellent quality. Top marks for a top team. Thank you.

Overall Experience

Very approachable staff who didn't mind me approaching them with concerns. They made me feel listened to and dealt with the issue quickly. My son is always happy when I've seen him here and eats very well. I am impressed with the variety of food on offer and the messy activities they do. They treat each child as an individual.
