I believe this is an amazing nursery for babies, my son has been going since 9 months old and he doesn’t have any hesitation about going. He has never come home sad or upset (apart from being poorly).
They all are very helpful and happy people who work in baby room.
His development has come along
as well.
Always keeping me up to date as well, with what he’s doing and playing with each week

My little girl has been attending Highgate Day Nursery since she was she was 8 months old. I have been very pleased with the care she receives. Her teachers have always been very loving and caring. And my little one has developed so much and learnt a lot of things. I absolutely recommend Highgate Nursery
to any parent for their little ones.

My little boy has been there since he was 6 months old. After covid and lockdown, the team were brilliant at helping ease him back in. He is now 2 and runs into the nursery excited to see his friends and staff members.
No complaints here! I feel happy dropping him off while I go to work, knowing that
he enjoys being there and is well looked after.

Overall excellent nursery, and very good staff. Only one thing. The pick-up and drop-off is not organised, as you could be waiting for a while to collect or drop your child due to long queues. Should organise a better system.

Reply from Jenni Dale, Manager at Highgate Day Nursery

Thank you for your great 5-star rating, we really appreciate it.
We too are frustrated by long wait times, as a result of the safety measures we have put in place due to Covid, but a few minutes extra to try and keep everyone safe is a small price to pay. Having only one entrance/exit is the issue, but we are constantly reviewing how we can improve this for parents.

Highgate is a brilliant nursery that I would recommend to anyone! All staff are friendly and easy to talk to. My daughter struggled with the transition to nursery, but the staff have been really understanding and supportive. I always feel up to date with what is happening in the nursery and anything
I need to be made aware of. I also love the app, where staff can share pictures and observations.

My one-year-old son has been at Highgate for four or five months now and he absolutely loves it. I'm starting to worry he loves the staff more than us! He gets lots of interactive playtime, learning, creative activities, and outside time. The staff are all really lovely and informative. The end-of-day
report is very useful.

Many thanks for reviewing our nursery. Our staff work really hard to secure those bonds so you can feel relaxed knowing your child is happy - it always pays off. Lovely when it is recognised.

My little girl currently goes to Highgate Day Nursery. She's in the toddler room. She has real attachment issues, with not being able to be around people or away from me (because of Covid). The staff at Highgate have been amazing and really comforting towards her. Helped her settle in its take her over
3 months to settle in but she's getting there and I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough. The staff are so friendly and cannot do enough to help you. Massive thank you very much from me, you guys are amazing.

My son has just finished his time in the toddler room and he has really enjoyed his time here. The staff at the nursery have always been great which gives confidence in sending him. I really like how they provide a full vegetarian menu.

Thank you for your kind review, we are also excited to continue on to the next stage in Preschool which will be a fun educational time. Our cook will be pleased to read you are happy with the food. We know our vegetarian menu is delicious and healthy and goes down very well with the children.

Hand on heart - I cannot fault Highgate Day Nursery whatsoever when it comes to the care and love they give to my daughter. She is awaiting an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and they have been so helpful and proactive with their approach to everything, ensuring her needs are fully met. They have
been so supportive with sorting things out and have honestly made such a worrying and emotional time - a much more smoother and easier process for us as a family. My daughter leaves nursery in such a happy and chatty mood - she’s come on so much since attending the nursery and is so attached to her lovely keyworker. My son also went to this nursery previously so when I knew I needed to find a nursery, it was a no brainer that it had to be Highgate. The manager is always so responsive to calls and emails and I honestly cannot thank the entire staff enough. We are so great full for everything and will always recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a nursery setting! Thank you.

Thank you for your lovely review for which we are very grateful.
It is teamwork all around for us to make sure that every child gets the care and education they deserve, with lots of cuddles along the way.

My child has been going to Highgate for a few months now and he has come on massively in his development. He’s currently in the baby room and as a first time mom I was so nervous about leaving him but he loves it and the staff are so lovely. I get to see what he does during his day at nursery via the
app which is comforting.

My son has been in the baby room, toddler room and is now going to start in rising 3s.
Since he started as a baby he has loved going to nursery and has been so happy there.
The staff are really friendly, helpful and professional! The quality of care is excellent and I feel all my child’s individual
needs are met.
My son has shown great progress in his learning and development and this is recorded and shared with parents via an app. I really enjoy the photos and observations that are shared!
I highly recommend Highgate nursery!
Thank you to all the staff!

My little boy started in the baby room in June and has settled in really well! The staff have been really accommodating and communicative, using the app to provide pictures and updates which is a great feature. I can see he has come on leaps and bounds since he started which is amazing and he always
comes home in a great mood and looking like he's had a wonderful time there!
Thanks for everything so far!

My son has just graduated from Highgate in the preschool class. He attended there for over 4 years so this was very emotional for both of us. He started there at 5 and a half months - a very tiny baby who couldn't even sit up. It has been wonderful to see how the nursery has helped him to flourish into
the smart, confident, sociable and rather feisty young man he is now - who is more than ready for school in September (they won't know what's hit them!). The staff have been so caring and encouraging with him. He has asthma and eczema and it has never been too much trouble for them to give special care and attention to these needs. They have also been very flexible in terms of accommodating sessions for him such as extra time in school holidays and fitting in with my working pattern. He's made so many friends there and had a wealth of valuable experiences that I am sure he will remember as he grows up. Thank you to all the staff who have played a part in his care and education over the years.

Really lovely staff, my child really enjoyed going and on days she was a bit upset and didn’t want to leave me they were really accommodating and helped her come into nursery.
Took excellent care of my child and helped her socialise with others.

Thank you for taking the time to review the nursery. There is nothing more satisfying, yet at the same time sad, than to see our pre-schoolers leave us, equipped with the confidence to deal with big school.

My son has attended for 3 years. The nursery staff are lovely and they have made a massive impact on his development and social skills. He's leaving for primary school soon but the nursery has equipped him with the life skills he needs to progress. They have always been professional and had his development

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.
