Review from S M (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has attended since September 2025 and has always struggled with drop off - the staff at Spring have been fantastic with him, persistent and understanding. They took a soft approach and now my little boy walks in quite happy, on his own and has such a good time there.

The staff have also been caring and compassionate towards myself and have made letting go of my little boy, a lot easier. They're always warm and welcoming!

We came to stay and play, this was great fun. Watching our daughter interact well with others and being able to see how happy, confident and comfortable she was in nursery. It's great to see how staff interact with the children and the parents.

Review from Rhianon P (Mother of Child) published on 10 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When my daughter first started Spring Highfield, she was very shy and out of her comfort zone but all of the staff made her feel so welcome and comfortable. She has nothing but lovely words to say about her nursery teachers and her best friends she has made there. I can honestly say sending her to Spring Highfield has brought her out of her shell massively and all of the credit goes to the staff. The manager and her team are all very professional but also like family to my child.

Review from Ross Q (Father of Child) published on 3 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Since moving my child to Spring Nursery I have noticed a massive change in his mood and enthusiasm towards attending nursery.
His talking and many other skills have come on so well in such a short space of time. I now feel happy and at ease sending him to nursery and have nothing but good words to say about the place! Constantly updated throughout the day with everything that your child has been up to. I cannot thank them enough!

Fantastic nursery!

Review from T Z (Father of Child) published on 2 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Spring Highfield is a fantastic nursery. The team genuinely feel like an extension of our family - they have helped to shape our son and daughter over the years, into the happy confident children that they are and we couldn't be more grateful to them. The team's approach has always been respectful, caring and compassionate.
Two members of staff in particular are excellent leaders of the team and communicate any intended changes and updates well with parents. They have both responded professionally and quickly to any queries or comments raised by us over the years.
The children are encouraged to develop in all areas. There is always a wide range of different activities facilitated by the team to support the engagement and development of the children.
We would highly recommend this Nursery to other parents!

Thanks for everything you have done for our family.

Overall Experience

Very professional staff and security was high, this was the first time picking up our grandson and they were very welcoming once we got through the security. Having run a nursery previously for many years, I would recommend this nursery for its high security, welcoming and pleasant staff, caring attitude and lots to do.

Review from Rachael E (Mother of Child) published on 1 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot stress how wonderful this setting is. Our daughter has attended since she was 9 months old and never once have we had any worries or concerns about her. The staff have been there for whatever we have needed - whether that be support with potty training or reassurance to us as new parents when things got tough. The menu is always varied and nutritionally balanced, our daughter often tells us how much she loves the snacks, and helping prepare food now she is in the Inventor's room. Our daughter is always happy and excited to get to nursery and I know without a shadow of a doubt that the staff really do care about her, her wellbeing, her education and most importantly her happiness. She always comes home with a smile on her face eager to tell us about the day. As a parent, the handovers at the end of the day are something I always look forward to. Putting our daughter into this nursery was one of the best decisions we have made and I will be so sad when the time comes to move on!

All staff at this nursery have been fantastic with my son, they are both passionate about the children and very understanding and helpful with outside factors. I have recommended this nursery to multiple people who have since enrolled and also had positive experiences here. Not a bad word to be said.

Amazing nursery. My daughter absolutely loves it here and always has lots of stories to tell of what they have all been getting up to, she always comes out with a smile on her face. The staff make you feel welcome and you can see they are kind & caring individuals. My daughter will often talk about the staff on the days she is not at nursery and you can tell she has such a lovely bond with them all. I'd definitely recommend this nursery.

Both of our children have loved and thrived at Spring Nursery Highfield with the support of caring, committed and knowledgeable staff. The staff are excellent at communicating both with parents and children alike and we can see how much they care for the children and put their needs first. They put a lot of effort into individualising care and in all of the wonderful activities they organise for the children. Thank you so much! We feel very lucky to have found Spring Highfield.

A very good nursery. Wide range of activities for my daughter and plenty of updates on her progress.
Flexibility with sessions if there is staffing to facilitate.

Cosy feeling in baby room. Good outside space.

Review from Sarah A (Mother of Child) published on 7 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Never worried about my child in here, my daughter loved this nursery and now my son loves this place too! My son who just started in January settled in very quickly here and they always give my son fresh healthy foods and a fruit snack which he loves. The staff change my son regularly and change his clothes and socks if needed. The staff always clean and get my son ready for home time. They always update the app to let me know what he’s eaten and updates on his day. The nursery frequently has new toys which is great also has a lovely outdoor area with bikes and a mud area etc to play with. I can’t express my appreciation to all the staff that look after my son I never have any concerns about anything here. One of the best nurseries around always has been. There is so much that I haven’t covered but all is amazing and such a little hidden gem this nursery is. The staff always go above and beyond for your little ones.

Review from I A (Mother of Child) published on 5 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Great nursery. My daughter has been in this nursery since she was seven months old (she is now a year old). The staff are really nice. I was nervous about leaving her the first time, but then she settled really quickly, and now every time she sees her carer, she opens her arms wide and smiles. It’s good to see that she socialises with other babies too. The nursery has alot of activities that improve her development. I see alot of development since she was in this nursery. They would report everything about my daughter using an app, including what she eats, how long her nap, and nappy changing, so I know how she is doing that day.

I could not rate Spring Nursery Highfield more. The dedication of the staff to create such a warm, nurturing space for the children is wonderful.
My son struggled to settle in and adjust to being away from us.
The team could not be more supportive and kind.

He now loves nursery!

Wonderful staff - all lovely with the children, supportive to us as parents and you can see they really care for the children. My little boy loves his time there, and I am happy I chose this nursery. It was important to me when choosing a setting that the nursery was clean, offered good meals (they have catering) and that the staff genuinely like the children.
