Every day I drop off my son at Highfield Day Nursery I know he will be cared for at the highest level by all the staff everyday. When I collect him he has a huge smile on his face. The experience he gains from attending this nursery is priceless.

The fantastic nursery which provides excellent care and learning activities. My little girl is given a range of highly stimulating activities to take part in. There are amazing toys/resources in and outdoors where they are given free choice and free flow play. Communication is outstanding, excellent
systems to see child obs, and photos of their time at nursery through parent zone, which gives the parent the opportunity to contribute too.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started Highfield Nursery when he was 18 months old and from the minute he started, he LOVED it. The building, team and management are all welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. One of the reasons I fell in love with the nursery is the amount of time some of the team have worked there (10 years
plus).
My son has recently left as I'm on maternity leave and we can't wait for him to go back!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending this nursery for the past 2 years following her attending another provider and this was the best move I made. The management team are professional and proactive. I couldn't have asked for better staff/keyworkers for my daughter, majority of which have been working there
for a long time (always a good sign when a nursery retains staff). I always felt comfortable leaving her here. She has learnt so much since being there, they follow the EYFS and provide regular assessments. The introduction of parent zone meant I could keep track of her progress at any time on my phone or other devises. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Amazing care and support for my daughter. Staff have supported her in her transition to pre-school and know her interests, likes and dislikes. My daughter has access to amazing resources freely and enjoys her time at nursery greatly. The outdoor area is amazing and my daughter gets access to go outside
in all weather. All staff are very welcoming and are very much an outstanding team.

Both my little boy and little girl have attended Highfield Day Nursery. My overall experience has totalled the last 6 years. It is my daughters last 2 months before she is to leave for new beginnings at reception school. Where has the time gone? I cannot begin to describe how amazing all the staff have
been. The kids are the most precious things in our lives and they have cared for them as they would their own. It has meant we can go to work with peace of mind knowing our children are in safe hands.

The nursery has provided an excellent level of care for my child.
I have seen her grow and develop into a lovely, caring and thoughtful child.
Her education level has improved dramatically and I feel that the staff have helped to ensure that all the children develop.
I would most definitely recommend
the nursery to prospective parents.
Excellent facilities with very good care and development.
Good and responsive staff with good levels of education.

After three wonderful years my son is 'graduating' from Highfield today.
He has had a fantastic time and has developed into a confident and thoughtful boy who is ready for school.

It sums it up when I picked up my 2 1/2 year old and he said "I want to stay now mummy". When kids want to stay you know the staff are doing an amazing job! Thank you.

My two boys are in nursery (one in pre-school and one in Ladybirds) and it's really nice to see how kind and inclusive the nursery is. My older one will visit my little one and play in the garden.

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.
