My daughter has attended Highgate Day Nursery since January and I have noticed such a big difference in her. She absolutely loves going to nursery to play with her friends. The staff there are fantastic, they are always communicating with me in regards to her progress whether it be through the app or
in person. I am definitely going to be sending my son there.

My daughter started here last month and has settled in really well. The staff are so welcoming and listen to parent requests. They do their best to follow the routine you do at home for naps and it is clear they love the jobs! My eldest also attended here a few years ago and we were happy with the care
provided for him, hence why we are using them again!

We are always proud to have siblings come to us. It confirms we are doing a good job with the children in our care - thank you.

This nursery and everyone works in it put me at peace knowing that my baby is in good hands and very well looked after. My son grew to like everyone there. I didn't have any issues since the day I registered my baby in this nursery when he was 3 months old. I am a full-time working Mum and perusing
a postgraduate degree at the same time. My life is very busy and having my child in this nursery really helped put me at ease. Everyone in this nursery is helpful and understanding. Thank you so much.

Thank you for your kind words. We understand that leaving your most precious possession is a difficult thing to do for anyone especially a busy working parent, and feeling confident in your Nursery is paramount.

My son just graduated from Highgate Day Nursery. He started the nursery in January 2021, in the middle of pandemic. The staff in here was amazing despite all the difficulties these unprecedented times brought. My son didnt speak any English (second language) when he started, but thanks to the amazing
teachers he integrated quickly and started to learn new skills, and found friends.
He truly enjoyed his time in the nursery and loved all of his teachers.
Everyone in the nursery is friendly and passionate. I only can say good things about them and they are highly recommended.

Would fully recommend this day nursery. My child has been there for nearly a year and a half and really enjoys it. The staff are amazing, so kind and genuinely caring. He enjoys doing lots of different activities, both inside and out and seeing the pictures and updates they send is brilliant. My child
has allergies and they have been great in providing food that he can eat, anyone who also has this issue knows how difficult it is to avoid exposure when not fully in control, however, I have no issues as to his safety at meal times.

My daughter has been attending Highgate since the baby room, she’s soon moving into Pre School. I couldn’t be any happier with her progress, she has so many lovely friendships and the staff are amazing with her, from helping with fussy eating to toilet training. They go above and beyond. What I also
love is how flexible they are.

My little girl is super clingy so we knew nursery would be a challenge but the girls in the baby room are just amazing! My daughter's key worker is absolutely brilliant and loves my daughter like her own. I know that she's 100-percent cared for and fine in her care. They don't mind a million phone calls
to check-in and whenever I contact the nursery everyone is kind, understanding and helpful, no matter how silly the question! As a first-time mum, I was really weary but the ladies made me feel confident that my little girl is in safe hands! Thank you.

Reply from Jenni Dale, Manager at Highgate Day Nursery

Thank you - It is always a massive decision to leave your child with anyone else and we are super proud to be the one you chose and that you feel so confident leaving her - we love what we do so it is not difficult to love the children that come through our doors and make sure they feel safe, secure and cared for.

An absolutely amazing nursery. My son thoroughly enjoys attending. He's coming on fantastically with learning, potty training, speech and much more. The staff in the toddler room go above and beyond and my son genuinely loves the staff. The admin team are also very responsive and helpful and very accommodating
if any appointments arise. The updates and photos are fantastic too, seeing my son's progress through photos and a diary means that I regularly know how he is getting on. I would highly recommend this setting. 5-star. I am a truly happy mum and very grateful for everything they all do for my boy.

Thank you for your kind words and amazing review. It is always so encouraging for staff to receive such praise as they really do work so hard with each individual child, and to have that acknowledgement is a great boost to staff morale.

We have two boys in the nursery, one in preschool and one in the baby room and they both love it. The staff are friendly and my sons love interacting with them. They have come on leaps and bounds since attending and grown in confidence from interactions with the staff and peers, I would definitely recommend
the nursery!

Couldn't be happier with Highgate Day Nursery, our daughter loves going and is often pulling us across the car park to get there faster! So she definitely gives it 5 stars!
She started at around 7 months old and we've always felt she's in safe hands. She learns so much while she's there and clearly
has lots of fun!
Parent's evening was a great opportunity to talk about learning goals, talking, potty training etc and we feel our decisions are supported by her key worker. We also got to see her enjoying the room and her confidence in picking toys spoke volumes as to how comfortable she must be while she's there.
We also love seeing her on her observations playing with the other children and enjoying all the toys and activities.

Both my children are attending the nursery and all the staff have been so wonderful with them. My children have been through babies room, toddlers, rising 3s and preschool and I have always been so happy with the care and transitions they’ve received.
My children are often upset at drop off times but
I leave knowing they’re in safe hands and will be well-loved.
I can see from photos and from what my children tell me that the staff are well involved with the children and provide great activities.

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.
