My little boy started going to Highgate when he turned 2 years old and he has come on so much since he started. He is forever looking at the nursery pictures we get sent through on the app and likes to show us all what he's been doing. He's taken a real shine to one of his teachers and mentions her
all the time which is lovely. I always get a fast response when I email regarding anything too. I would highly recommend Highgate.

Reply from Chloe Jones, Manager at Highgate Day Nursery

Attachment is really important for children to feel secure in their environment, something staff strive to ensure happens early on. Thank you for taking time to write a lovely review.

My son started the nursery after his first year. The setting has really helped him to nurture and grow. My son has special needs and the management has been proactive in sorting his earlier development through timely reviews. He is getting better with time.
The staff are always supportive and show
genuine concern and understanding.
He has settled quite well and is happy to go in always. They also adjust to his needs, the observations also help to get a picture of his personality and activities on a regular basis.
It's been a great journey so far and I'm happy with the overall progress.
Parking is a bonus and the location is great too!
Thanks to all the staff and management for their hard work in making it a brilliant place for kids.

My son was starting school here in the UK, and fear gripped me on how he’s going to cope in school been the first time studying in another country, but to my surprise, he loves going to school every day and enjoying every moment in school, the teachers are fantastic.
Thank you for taking care of my
child.

My son has attended this nursery since he was 2 years old. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Highgate. His speech, play skills, toilet training etc. He is now in his final year at nursery, he loves attending nursery to see his friends and teachers. I cannot thank all the staff enough
for everything they do for my son! Amazing team!

My daughter has recently started in the baby room at Highgate and we could not be happier with the care from the lovely staff. We receive updates every session about her day through the app with lots of observations coming through too! She loves the outdoor play area and really enjoyed her music session
last week!

Our baby has been with Highgate Day Nursery for over a month, and it was a transition I was very apprehensive about as he is so little but we needed to get him settled before my return to work. There are lots of toys for him to play with and there is a nice mix (he loves the musical instruments and
you can always keep him occupied with a book). Staff were very supportive while getting him settled and encouraged us to call and check in to see how he was getting on. I feel in the loop, I enjoy seeing what he has been eating or doing on the app, and staff give a good overview when we collect him. It's nice to know our baby can still be somewhere he can get cuddles and support. We are really pleased with our decision to put our baby at Highgate and know staff have his best interests at heart. We can't wait to see how he develops and keeps exploring over the coming months! Thank you to everyone who keeps him safe, happy, and well.

After having my first baby and maternity leave finishing, I had to go back to work part time, resulting in my son starting nursery at seven months old. I felt like the world's worst Mum and I was heartbroken. However, this nursery is unbelievably incredible. Great communication with me, my son has so
much fun here, visual observations via the app really helped me too because I can see him have fun. The girls are an incredible team and always go out of their way to support and encourage my son's development and abilities. Would really recommend it here.

My child has attended this nursery setting from the baby room and has flourished in her time there. Her speech has come on so much more than her sibling who did not attend nursery. It is a structured learning environment but more importantly she has always had lots of fun and looks forward to attending.
Her confidence has grown so much and the staff are very supportive of her care needs. She leaves this month and will be very sad to leave her friends and staff behind but we are very happy with how she settled into the setting and how accommodating the staff have been. This is the best nursery in Handsworth and very flexible (I do have an older child who attended different settings).

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 12 months old, so has gone through all of the rooms and met all of the staff. She has loved every minute and recently graduated from preschool. It was a lovely send off and can't thank all of the team at Highgate Day Nursery for all of the care they've
given my daughter over the past 3 years.

End of term is always sad for us as we lose many of our wonderful children to school but we know they will be ready for their next big step - thank you for your kind words.

My daughter has attended this nursery for the past few years, it wasn’t the closest to home however the drive and getting stuck in traffic on the way home was so worth it! Highgate Day Nursery has been amazing with my little girl, they went above and beyond and helped her come out of her shell. Any
requests or queries I had would always be dealt with straight away. Management are so pleasant and approachable, and the staff are lovely too. Nobody will regret sending their child to this nursery. 10/10 from me! It’s been an absolute pleasure sending my daughter here. Thank you so very much all of you wonderful people at Highgate Nursery! Keep being the amazing humans you are!

I'm very happy with this nursery. I've worked in nurseries myself and am quite picky about them for my children. I was nervous when my daughter started this nursery as she had such a bad experience with a prior childcare provider. I worried that she would take a long time to settle in and would need
a lot of emotional support from the staff. While this was the case for the first week or so, the staff were amazing at making sure both her physical and emotional needs were met, whilst also supporting and reassuring me at drop-of times. She settled within the first 2 weeks and now is so excited about her nursery days. Her confidence and self-esteem have blossomed and she is forever telling us about the activities and friends she plays with at nursery. The staff are so kind and caring and really take time to listen. I feel that the nursery has a focus on supporting the whole family around the child rather than just the child. I would definitely recommend this childcare setting.

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.
