Our son has been going to Highgate Nursery since before he was 1 year old. He is now approaching 20 months old. All the staff there have been beyond brilliant, and it is obvious that they have built a real connection with our son. He is always excited to go there in the morning, and happy when I pick
him up. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

We thank you for your lovely review and the trust you place with us in caring for your little one - the pleasure is all ours.

The keyworkers have been fantastic during and after the first lockdown. They have tried to keep everything the same for the kids other than washing hands more and keeping a little distance. Our son has really started to enjoy his time at Highgate more and more and that is thanks to the staff.

Reply from Jenni, Director at Highgate Day Nursery

Thank you for your kind words. We have worked really hard to keep everyone safe during this horrible time so it is nice to be appreciated.

Our daughter really loves going to nursery to see her friends and key workers.
She has settled in so well, especially after the lockdown after so long away, she was fine going back to see everyone.
We have noticed such a difference in our daughter with her overall development, and that has been
noticed since attending nursery.
We feel safe dropping her off knowing that she is in safe hands.
Our daughter always comes home enthusiastic when telling us what she has done in a day.
Would highly recommend.

The nursery has always been very supportive towards my daughter, I've noticed her coming on leaps and bounds since being at Highgate. They're very efficient as updating the EYLOG to let me know what she's been up to, as children never tell you! They have helped loads when I've needed Willow in longer
at short notice and keep me updated on any changes. They're EYLOG is brilliant in letting me know how I can improve my daughter's education at home, following what she has been learning at nursery. Every member of staff I have spoken to are lovely and always happy to discuss anything to do with my daughter.

Reply from Jenni, Director at Highgate Day Nursery

We love to share the children's progress with parents and eyLog is a great medium to use. Thank you for your lovely review.

Lovely staff, my son has such a good time there he's been going from 10 months old. They serve brilliant healthy food which he always eats plenty of. He is on a flexible contract which means changing shifts are not an issue. I'm a key worker and they stayed open through lockdown which was such a massive
help. We are moving from Handsworth but plan on keeping him in this nursery as we have had such positive experiences. I have recommended it to friends. Any queries they get back to you really quickly seriously happy with everything they do. I get weekly updates about his progress n tips on how to help him achieve new skills.

My little boy loves coming to nursery. He gets so excited when he sees the staff and crawls straight over to them with the biggest smile! He has started to make friends and comes home with pictures he’s made.
I’m so thankful to the baby room staff for helping him settle as well as he has done.
Would
fully recommend this nursery.

Our three children have all gone to Highgate from the age of two until they left to go to primary school. The staff are wonderful and the whole setting is friendly and welcoming. Our three have all had many happy times here and we'll be genuinely sorry to see this phase of their education end. Thanks
to everyone involved with Highgate.

Both my children attended this nursery, my youngest had his last day today and it is a lovely nursery. My children have autism and all the staff helped support them in every way I have asked, and myself, when I’ve needed help sorting out going on to school. I would like to say a massive thank you to
my sons keyworker, who has been a huge part of my youngest's nursery life. She was his nursery mum and nothing was ever too much, even if it was just to listen to me whine about things, she would always be there. Helped me and my son every step of the way to get the help/support he needs in school. Such a brilliant person to have in the nursery.

My little man has just left Highgate Day Nursery. Cannot thank the staff enough for their support throughout his nursery journey. His key worker has been amazing with him and to us as a family. Highgate supported us through numerous meetings and helped support us when my little man got his autism diagnosis.
So thankful to all staff as it was a very confusing and unsettling time for us all. Special thanks to all for making our little man feel safe and happy. We will always be thankful to you all. Highly recommend Highgate and their lovely supportive and caring staff. Anyone looking for a friendly and caring bunch of people to look after their little ones then Highgate is the place to go. Thank you again. We will miss you all.

My daughter started in the baby room at Highgate in December last year.
She has settled really well thanks to all the fantastic staff that have built up a great bond with her to make sure she felt comfortable in her new environment! It has helped my wife return to work, knowing that our daughter is
happy and cared for.
She loves going to nursery and taking part in all the activities they do, especially anything messy! Every week she comes home knowing more actions to nursery rhymes and saying more new words, this is all thanks to the nursery.

Some of the most amazing ladies I know work here. Both my children have attended Highgate Nursery, my daughter since being 5 months old and I could not praise these ladies enough. They have been mummies to my children when I have not been able to due to work and study commitments and will be forever
grateful.

We love this nursery, and all of the staff. My little girl has been there from seven months and will be there until next August. The staff are great, they are friendly and enthusiastic. Most importantly they listen and help my little girl and others with allergies follow their recommended diets. I trust
them completely with my daughter and her physical and mental well-being. It’s going to be a sad day when my daughter graduates to attend school.

I would highly recommend the toddler class at Highgate Day Nursery. My son has come on so much since being in that room. His keyworker is absolutely amazing and my son admires her. Very big thank you. The manager is also very nice and her door is always open when I need to ask her anything. Thank you
to all staff again for looking after my son.

My two year old attends Highgate and I couldn't wish for a better nursery for her, the staff are always welcoming and pay attention to any of her personal wants and needs. The staff are always helpful and the hours are very flexible. My little girl has plenty of friends within the setting including
lots of the staff who she constantly talks about at home. She enjoys painting and drawing and is always involved in some creative activity each day she attends. Highgate is a great nursery and I would recommend to parents.

Highgate Day Nursery has become like an extended family they really do care, the staff know my child well and his needs and what works specifically for him. The creative work they do with the kids is excellent, they communicate with me every session and the flexibility for times and sessions, it's amazing
I've never seen another nursery in the area do this. Love this nursery.

How amazing are this nursery. My son has blossomed since going there, I've had a rough time with the custody battle between my ex and I but the staff there have been like a big family, always supportive and looked after my child like a mother would. The manager is AMAZING, I could not describe her in
any other way than an angel and there are other members of staff who are exceptional. All the staff there are amazing. I've never heard anyone speak loudly towards a child in the two years of my son being there. My child has been made to feel loved, accepted, important and valued at this amazing school. One real positive is the staff are younger, this is such a positive, they can relate to children more, they have more energy, and can do more than some nurseries with old staff (sorry ppl) but younger staff have a fresher approach to child care in my opinion. So amazing but it's a sad day as my son is now ready to leave to go to his full time school and boy will the staff and school be missed. If you want your child happy and content this is one school I would highly recommend.

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.
