I'm so pleased I found Highfield! My little boy has had some ups and downs health-wise and all the staff have been absolutely wonderful, so accommodating! He's now settled back in after some months off and I have nothing but praise for how the staff and management have handled this situation. He loves
being at nursery, he loves the garden and I enjoy the little updates on the app. Staff always give a comprehensive handover and are happy to answer any questions or discuss any issues and they're open to trying things differently if they're not working. We're very happy with Highfield!

Highfield Edgbaston Birmingham is a great child care setting. The staff are very experienced and professional. Since my son has started at Highfield, he has grown into a thriving and confident individual who is learning and developing more each day.
The parent app is great to see the observations and
activities that my son has been doing. He has a great bond with his key worker. My son enjoys attending his nursery! As parents, we would recommend Highfield’s Birmingham to friends and family!

I would definitely recommend Highfields. The care and attention provided is just excellent.
My daughter loves attending preschool here.
I feel it is a little costly but I think it's just in line with nursery costs.
Parking is an issue sometimes, especially around 5pm. Other than that, it's really
good.

A very professional, warm and welcoming nursery. Staff are very helpful and show a genuine interest in the child they teach.
I have sent both my children to this nursery and would recommend it to others.
Both my children have learnt lots of new skills by coming here including reading, writing and
counting.

My son has settled into nursery really well with the help of all the staff in caterpillars. He has become so much more independent in the short time he has been attending. We are very pleased so far.

Our son only has five more months left at nursery/preschool and will be sorry to leave the nursery and all the staff we have got to know over the years. But he is now well equipped for and looking forward to school.

Brilliant nursery. My daughter just started school and having attended her first parents evening, we had amazing feedback. All thanks to Highfield, she is able to write her full name independently, count her numbers and write up to 30 and her alphabet.

Nursery management have answered emails promptly and been very helpful in the runup to starting nursery. The nursery appears well run and all the staff have been of a high standard and always approachable and friendly. Very pleased with the initial couple of weeks. Key worker and 2 key workers have
worked well. Useful and succinct feedback from day one.
Love the Parent Zone.

We would not hesitate to recommend Highfield Day Nursery to any parent. It is excellent in every area, from the activities the children undertake on a daily basis to the nutritional and varied meals served. My daughter has seconds of most meals each day!
You can tell that the staff genuinely love
what they do and have a real interest in making each child’s day as interesting and interactive as possible. The outside space is a lot of fun the children spend a lot of time out there - something that was important to us when we were looking at nurseries.
There is a parent app where photos and achievements are shared securely. This is an excellent way of seeing what our daughter has been up to on a day to day basis.
Our daughter has loved her time at Highfield and she leaves there a confident, happy little girl- we couldn’t have been happier with our choice for the first few years of her life.

Fantastic nursery. Very caring staff, excellent facilities, good selection of food.
Brilliant hours. We had the choice of placing our daughter in our son's school nursery but chose to keep her in this nursery because we feel the care is exactly what we were looking for. The second time around, we
were not disappointed.

My child liked the nursery from day one and has always felt very settled. The staff team are wonderful and offer a wide variety of activities throughout the day. We particularly liked the fact that the children are rarely in more than a ration of 1-10 per room so it is never too noisy, they have room
to move and plenty of space to play. The garden is wonderfully resourced and plenty of time is given for the children to play in it. It's a wonderful environment for children to learn in and flourish.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.858)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.858) out of 10 for Highfield Day Nursery (Birmingham) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.858 for Highfield Day Nursery (Birmingham) is calculated as follows: ( (310 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 359 Ratings = 4.858
  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 Highfield Day Nursery (Birmingham) is based on 30 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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8, which has been reached with 30 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.
