Our little boy started in the toddler room a few months ago and is loving his time there, he gets so excited to go and runs in without looking back!
His speech has improved since going as has his confidence.
We love hearing about his day at pick up and the updates through the app are great.
The
staff in his room are super friendly and have made him very welcome.
Management are very helpful and respond to our email enquiries extremely quickly.

A lovely nursery with amazing staff. Cannot praise these girls enough. The care they provide is second to none. It really does say something when your lockdown baby who didn't see many family members or friends for the best part of a year feels so comfortable with these girls within the first month
of starting. She absolutely loves nursery and the girls in the baby room.

The staff are always caring for the kids and the nursery always organises some fun activities for kids to participate in so they will not be bored and kids are active most of the time. I like the ideas that the nursery has some pets for kids to interact with.

My daughter always comes back home with a smile on her face, she attended another Nursery before Highgate and was always in tears, but the gentle caring nature of all the staff at Highgate nursery made her a happy little girl. Thanks, Highgate Day Nursery staff you all are truly amazing.

Our son started at Highgate Day Nursery in December. He’s loved it since the beginning. He’s always telling us about exciting things that he does and the new friends he’s made. He seems to be developing very well within the room he’s in and loves the staff. He also loves the food and has expressed an
interest in trying lots of new things at home since starting, which is great. We’re very happy with the nursery and the staff. We get good information about what he’s been up to and how he’s been throughout the day. On a management level, the staff are really good too, fast to respond to emails and questions and always invoice accurately and on time. We’re really happy with the nursery and our son is too, which is the most important thing.

Reply from Jenni Dale, Manager at Highgate Day Nursery

It makes our jobs all the more worthwhile to read such lovely feedback. We know the children are happy and well cared for, whilst being given the opportunity to have amazing learning experiences created by staff, so it is lovely to see that acknowledged - thank you

Our little girl has been coming to Highgate since she was 11 months old and she loves it here! She has become a very confident, kind and polite little girl and I believe the good influence from nursery has helped. The staff are all lovely and very approachable. I’m sure this time next year, she’ll be
more than ready to go to school.

Reply from Jenni Dale, Manager at Highgate Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely words. Moving on to school is a huge step but we know they will have the confidence and independence from their time at Highgate to make the move successfully.

Each day I drop off my grandson at nursery he's always greeted warmly, he's so excited to go to nursery and loves the teachers, he's at an age now where he talks really well and constantly comes home explaining what a fun day he's had.
His development and understanding have come on hugely, no way could
he have got this at home.
I can't praise all the staff enough for what an excellent start my grandson has had.

Reply from Jenni Dale, Manager at Highgate Day Nursery

Thank you.
We love that the children can talk about their day and let you know (as we already do) what a fantastic time they have at Nursery, making new friends and constantly learning new skills.

I was worried about my daughter starting nursery, because of lockdown she had only really been with me and her dad. However, the ladies here are amazing and so lovely, it set both my daughter and me at ease straight away. My daughter loves going to see them! We get to see all her activities on the app
and they keep us updated with her day to day goings-on. I would highly recommend a visit!

Our daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 1 year of age she is now four and still attending. With the help of this nursery, she has become a well mannered and respectful girl we cannot thank this nursery enough for how much they have brought our child along. If you have any doubts about
sending your child to this establishment please don't hesitate it’s a wonderful place with wonderful people working there we cannot wait for our second daughter to attend here which will be in February of 2021.

Thank you so much for your exceptional review of the staff and nursery. We also are looking forward to welcoming your second daughter soon and are grateful for the confidence you have in the nursery. It is an honour to be able to share in their care and education.

I couldn’t be happier with the service we receive from Highgate.
Their positive attitude throughout these uncertain times has been very reassuring and they have been very good at sending out communications and keeping us updated.
As a shift worker, my children are on flexible contracts which undoubtedly
saves me hundreds of pounds a month from not sending them when I’m off. This isn’t something a lot of nursery’s offer so for me it’s the most important thing.
In addition, they have been amazingly flexible when emergencies have popped up.
I’ve seen positive developments in both my girls since starting at Highgate and I wouldn’t think twice about recommend them to friends and family.

My child has been with Highgate nursery for just over 12months and his confidence, his ability to play, his social skill and social awareness has grown so much. The management and teams are encouraging of us as parents and of my child's development. The team members support my needs as a 1st time mum
- understanding my anxiety etc
Would recommend the nursery and team over and over again x

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.
