Cannot speak kindly enough of the nursery as the staff have been integral to our son and daughter's development and both of them love coming to nursery. Management are very approachable and supportive in the event of any problems.

Highgate Day Nursery is the most amazing nursery. The staff are so kind, attentive and compassionate. They take such good care of our two children. We love the photos they send us and the app is great for summarising their day. They are always happy to help if you call with anything to ask. Our children
aren't old enough to talk yet but it is so so clear they love their time at nursery and they love the staff.

How kind of you to give such lovely feedback about the staff, which they will truly appreciate. Thank you.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. They have gone above and beyond for my son and made sure all his needs are met and surpassed. I had raised concerns with a member of staff about my son having additional needs to find out that the staff had already taken it upon themselves to put an action plan
in place to help my son and give him more 1 on 1 time without me even needing to request so. After this they have been more than helpful and placed meetings for us to talk about his progress and get him additional support from an outside source. Each member of staff I have encounter have been so polite and caring, it really puts my mind at ease knowing he is genuinely cared for while I'm at work.

I cannot speak highly enough of this nursery our daughter has been attending for the last 6 months and our experience has been nothing but positive. The staff are caring and have built an amazing relationship with our daughter. We have noticed how much she is coming on and growing in confidence since
attending. The management are friendly approachable and helpful, they go above and beyond when contacted and nothing seems too much trouble! Thank you for making our daughter's transition to nursery such a positive experience!

I collect my grandson from nursery every Tuesday and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. He always comes out happy with a full belly and in great spirits!
The management team are exceptional and always accommodates any extra time when needed. You can see that his keyworker has a genuine, caring
relationship with him and he adores her.

My daughter has attended this nursery from 10 months old to age 4. She has loved every room and all staff members have been great. They really get to know each individual child and help them thrive. They are super flexible with hours and extra sessions. My daughter is now ready to move on to primary
school thanks to Highgate.

Highgate Day Nursery is a wonderful nursery, the staff are so friendly and my little girl loves it there, she has been going since she was 9 months old and doesn't look back at drop-off and willingly goes in to play. We never have tears at drop-off and I think that's the best review of all.

It is wonderfully reassuring when the children are at an age they can discuss their busy day at nursery with you. Thank you for your review.

Lovely nursery with really nice and friendly staff members. My little girl settled in well and took to the staff straight away. She hadn't previously attended any kind of nursery environment until she turned 3 and staff were very patient when she had any hesitance leaving us in a morning. Two months
down the line, she always rushes to get inside and says nursery makes her happy. Attending has definitely helped with speech and general progression, she has come on a lot since going to nursery. We don't get very many updates on the nursery app, only one a week but it's always nice to see what they're getting up to when we do. Always lovely to see her playing with the friends she's made. Really good team of staff, would recommend to anyone looking to send their child to nursery at any age.

Reply from Chloe Jones, Manager at Highgate Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review, we are very grateful. We are aware that most of the children in preschool will be able to discuss their day, so we tend to spend less time focussing on the app. Parents' evenings are a great way to catch up with their ongoing development too.

My son has attended Highgate Day Nursery for over two years and I have nothing but appreciation for staff and the care they provide for my son.
Every teacher and key worker my child has been assigned has always paid the utmost attention to my child and always given him that extra bit of support he
needs, my child has never left nursery having a down day and he enjoys it there so much and loves all his teachers which, as a parent, is all you can ask for.
Brilliant nursery, staff and care.
I could not have chosen a better nursery and I am so thankful for all the support they have given my child and continue to give him every week and also me, as a parent.

Reply from Chloe Jones, Manager at Highgate Day Nursery

Staff really do appreciate such lovely words of thanks. Learning and development are important aspects of our teaching but if children are not secure and happy this will not be effective, so grateful for the acknowledgement.

My daughter has progressed in her development here and her speech has improved so much. I have noticed the difference in her development from when she first started. The
nursery is always accommodating to any needs that we have and is quite helpful.

Taking my grandson to nursery is a lovely experience. I know he is in good hands as when the door opens to let him in, he is off like a shot without a care in the world. I like the regular updates from the nursery telling us what the kids have been up to. His reading, counting and conversation have
come on leaps and bounds since he started going.

You need to select a month to review, but my review will cover all of the time my son has been here.
Honestly... what a fantastic nursery this place is. My son has thrived. Thrived. He is so confident in all he does; he jumps to the nursery nurse as soon as they open the door and is eager to start
the day, we get regular pictures and updates of the activities he does and they keep us updated outside of that too.
As a new mum, finding a place for your child is daunting and scary. However, the people here do everything they can to reassure us and give your child the best possible environment they could have. I'm so lucky to have this nursery for my child and would recommend to absolutely everyone. Your child will be so well looked after.

My daughter loves going to nursery and initially, we thought it would be hard for her as it was a new environment but she adapted well. The staff are amazing, very flexible with the schedule. They will monitor her progress, and learning and update us regularly. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.968)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.968) out of 10 for Highgate Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.968 for Highgate Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (421 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 435 Ratings = 4.968

  • b) 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 Highgate Day Nursery is based on 37 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 113 number of registered child places is 22.6, which has been reached with 37 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
