My son has been at Highfield for 2 years now and loves going to nursery every day. He has a great relationship with his key worker, who has helped him come along massively in the last 6 - 9 months.

My daughter has attended nursery since she was a baby, She is now 2. The staff are very welcoming and very helpful. My daughter loves going to nursery and loves her key worker and staff. The nursery has changed a lot of areas in the nursery and it’s a lot more welcoming for children to explore and develop.
The staff would do anything to help.

I have sent both my girls to Highfield nursery from the age of 8-months, and I’m so please we chose that setting. My eldest spent over 3-years there and she thrived. She was always cared for in the best way and was always happy at both drop-offs and pickups. She was well and truly prepared for entering
the reception class thanks to their wonderful preschool, and I know she was sad to leave. Now my 14-months is attending, and she loves her time there. She’s always smiley and giggly to be dropped off, and I leave confident she’s in great hands with the wonderful practitioners in babies. I honestly could not recommend this nursery enough! Both the staff and curriculum are really great.

I have two children who attend Highfield Nursery. One in babies and one in preschool. They absolutely love it there. The staff are fabulous with them both. They do loads of activities and go on little day trips. Any special needs are catered for. My son had a brief spell of needing a special diet and
they were able to cater to his needs with no issues and any challenges that you are trying to overcome at home in terms of behaviour they are more than willing to help with that in nursery. I never have any concerns about leaving my children with them. I would highly recommend the team at Highfield Nursery.

My daughter started attending Highfield at 8 weeks old and she is now 20 months she has loved every single session the love attention devotion and compassion the staff show my daughter and all the other children is just so comforting to know my daughter is safe when she is there. The baby staff have

My daughter has only been coming for 3 months now, one day a week but absolutely loves it!!! Have no problems with sending her, runs in waving bye to me.
They have a lovely outdoor area and do lots of fun, learning activities.
I can tell she has learnt a lot there just from the short time her being
there.
Always get lots of pictures and a nice detail of what she has been doing with her day which is lovely to know.
Highly recommend

My little one attends nursery here, he seems to enjoy it very much and half the time doesn't want to be picked up. He has come on well and his keyworker is absolutely great. I get updates and how he is doing all the time. I would recommend this nursery to my friends with children.

This nursery is amazing!! It’s such a warm welcoming friendly place for my children to be surrounded in. ALL the staff are amazing with my children and many others I have seen too. They do lots of different exciting games and learning throughout the day. The children are never bored here and always
talk about what they have got up to during the day. I recommend this nursery to my friend and she went with them and has nothing but good words to say about the place. They have all sorts of different tasty meals a day and we get updated a lot on the apps we have. Quick responses from the manager and very helpful I’m so happy I picked this nursery. My children have shown so much more personality since being here. Lots of toys, climbing frames outside, bikes, slides, tents so much to do, learn and play all day!

Over 6 years I've had both my children at Highfield Nursery from babies to starting school. All the staff over the years have been caring, professional and enthusiastic about their jobs. The current team have shown amazing resilience when dealing with the covid 19 restrictions. Communication between
staff and parents is fantastic. They always feedback what the children have done either via the online learning journal, the app, Facebook or at pick up. I couldn't have asked for a better nursery for my children.

My son has been part of this nursery chain for 3 years.
Also, both my 2 older boys attend this chain too.
We moved my son to Highfield just over a year ago and it's the best decision we made.
He has come on so much in a year and loves his nursery.
The staff are kind, caring and thoughtful and always
there to help.
The management team are just great and always there no matter what.
I really couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

Our son has been with this nursery since he was 7 months old, he's now 3 and we absolutely adore the staff who have been like another family for him. The nursery staff are absolutely wonderful, always cheerful and go the extra mile to make sure they are still working on your child's development, even
after closing time. They keep you updated on what your child has been up to, they don't mind if you check-up on them in the day and they are so willing to give you support and advice if you need anything at all. They are absolutely second to none and I would recommend their services to all that I know. The practitioners are so utterly dedicated to their profession it is wonderful to have our son being taught and cared for by such exemplary people.

My son started preschool in September and my daughter also started in babies.
The staff are absolutely amazing in ensuring the children are happy and exceptionally cared for.
There's never anything that's too much trouble if you need a little help.
They always make sure they tell you how your child
has done in the day whether that be with their eating or toileting.
They really are amazing. My eldest started here in 2012 and the service and staff just keep getting better.
Thank you all - you're amazing!

My daughter has been attending for 2 sessions a week in the baby room since July and she has settled in really well as all the staff are lovely. The staff have been wonderful when she has cried when leaving her but she soon settles.
My daughter always comes out with a happy face and I know she has
done lots of activities throughout the day and the communication between nursery and parents is fabulous.
I would recommend Highfield Day Nursery to anyone who was looking for somewhere for their young children.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.819)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.819) out of 10 for Highfield Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.819 for Highfield Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (289 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 309 Ratings = 4.819
  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 Nursery is based on 25 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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4, which has been reached with 25 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.
