Highfield Day Nursery (Birmingham)

Thank you Highfield!

My 2 year-olds started attending here in February 2024 and in the past 4 months, they have shown great improvement on the developmental delays that they have. The staff are very kind and welcoming and I feel reassured that my children are well looked after in a safe and nurturing environment.

Very friendly and caring staff, my 9-month-old seems happy at the nursery and is enjoying himself. Staff took the initiative to ask for keywords in his 2nd language which was appreciated. They’re accommodating as when mentioned he could use a walker, they incorporated it into his daily activities. Photos of him are uploaded onto the app - this is lovely and I always look forward to seeing them. Progress/updates are given via app which is great as it is documented and can refer back to.

Both my children have thrived since joining Highfield and I'm grateful for all they do.

They really take your child’s needs and interests seriously. They will communicate with the parents daily on how the child has been doing not relying on online reports. Parents felt the warmth from the nursery.

5-star nursery with care for their children! My son recently attended Highfield from when he was in the baby room up until ladybirds and then we had to move due to a change of job location. My son came on leaps and bounds here his bond with his key worker and all the amazing ladies he continues to speak about daily! Many many more. I was never worried about his care here and will miss this nursery so much.

We have always been impressed with the menus and food offered at the nursery and it was lovely to hear how the children continued to develop their feeding skills and clearly loved the food whilst in Ladybirds.

I have been impressed by the variety of activities that the staff offer to the kids in a number of areas (e.g. creative, learning, physical exercise) and their attention to each child by both daily reporting and period reporting through the app.

My child joined Highfield Day Nursery when she was 10 months old, the team were really supportive of me as I was having lots of anxiety returning to work, they gave me lots of calls of reassurance, and my child settled really well. The team in the baby room are really nurturing and she found close bonds with all members of staff and key workers, she is now 22 months and is thriving. Her key worker is honestly one of the best nursery workers she is so attentive to my daughter's needs, and creates creative activities based on my daughter's interests, some examples are they had a tea party as my daughter loves role-playing, making tea at home and jumping in puddles outside as she loves a particular character. They also really support her learning and her vocabulary has grown, she’s counting and loves books, and the whole team is fantastic. My daughter has formed bonds with the other kids. It’s such a lovely nursery.

I honestly can’t fault my experiences with Highfield. The staff are amazing, they go out their way to always ensure my children are happy, content and thriving! I have a child query SEN here and the nursery have been so supportive of this and have done referrals where needed and supported me along the way to getting a diagnosis. He is thriving and making improvements every day he is there! My other child, she is also thriving in every area. My children are happy and always come home smiling, making friendships and learning new things. The food is of amazing quality and fresh. It is a variety of meals. The management are supportive and helpful. I love the app as I receive regular updates, pictures and videos of all the activities they are doing and these only confirm to me how happy my children are at Highfield! Honestly in my opinion Highfield Day Nursery and its staff are faultless!

It's a very homely, loving and caring environment.

This is an amazing nursery. Since arriving, our son has developed so much and grown into a confident little boy. At the end of his pre-school year, he knew all the letters, could read small words and write his name. He made lots of friends and has always been very happy to attend nursery. We would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery and preschool to any parents or legal guardians.

My daughter started at Highfield at age 1 in July 2020. My daughter settled into nursery very quickly and very easily and has been extremely happy there ever since. Room moves have been managed well and my daughter has always made those transitions really successfully. Day-to-day feedback is excellent both from the app and from the practitioners in the room at the end of each day. The nursery food is particularly excellent and I have always felt really happy with the wide diet that is provided at nursery. This nursery is particularly good at accommodating additional sessions if and when required. They keep the children very safe. They are really open to individualising children's learning requirements. My daughter has done particularly well with spelling out words/phonics and her reading journey with the support of the nursery from Bumblebees room onwards. Whatever the children express an interest in at home nursery will seek to build upon this.

Highfield is a really good nursery and I have no complaints with it. I am really impressed.

I gave the staff section a ‘good’ rating rather than ‘excellent’ as sometimes some of them still deal with certain situations spontaneously rather than how they were trained. An example would be hearing one of the staff telling a child “not to be a drama queen” or “not to worry” although they are obviously going through a tide of emotions that need to be acknowledged. Nevertheless, the staff are super helpful, good listeners and friendly.

My son enjoys times in Highfield. He enjoys playing indoors and outdoors. The settlement section goes well. Staff are lovely. We feel in debt and grateful to the lovely, kind and caring staff there. Thank you so much.

I would definitely recommend the nursery to other people with such a positive experience I had myself knowing that my daughter enjoyed it very much as well.

My son has attended Highfield since October and I could not be happier with them, he is full of smiles at drop off and pick up and the staff are brilliant with feedback. The toys are well kept and the activities he does throughout the day are amazing! There is a wide range of food and my son enjoys all the meals there. The staff have been really good with suggestions for home activities and how I can help towards his next steps at home, they are also very considerate about my needs and worries as a new parent.

My son enjoys attending the nursery. The staff are very professional and caring. His speech has gotten better in the last couple of months, and they have really encouraged him. The management is good when I have a question, and they respond quickly and are helpful. My younger son will be starting in January.
