The nursery has been amazing. My daughter started at Highfield in August of 2024. As a first time mum I was very reluctant and nervous to leave my baby in the care of anyone besides myself!
The staff were incredibly attentive and reassuring and my daughter has thrived massively during her 8 months
at the nursery. The relationships She's built with the staff in the baby room have been amazing and I can't thank them enough!

Fantastic nursery. The manager and all the staff are always helpful and caring. Our son was previously at this nursery before he went to school and now our daughter goes there. We have always been impressed with the team and would wholeheartedly recommend Highfield Day Nursery.

Extremely pleased with how my little one has progressed over the years. She's always telling us stories about staff members so clearly she's having a great time and been very well looked after as well as learning. Most people we meet can't believe she's only 3 years old, and I'd put a lot of that credit
towards members of staff who have looked after her in her time at Highfield.

My grandson attended at the age of 4, he had limited speech and had not attended any settings with other children. During the year, his confidence increased, his speech and communication developed and was potty trained by the time he left. The nursery provided a safe, warm, fun environment. All the
staff were so friendly and professional and it felt like one big family. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I visited Highfield after a friend recommended it to me, as we had tried to settle my son when he was just turning 2, into another nursery and it hadn't gone well. Highfield had a warm welcoming feel and were very understanding about our previous experiences and our nerves with settling. They were very
flexible with allowing me to stay with him until he was more settled and my son seemed very relaxed and took to the staff straight away. We are now transitioning from half to full days and again all staff are supportive and caring and nurturing. Staff give detailed feedback and don't mind me calling to check up on him during settling periods. My son is very active and staff appear to accept and work with his needs and he is always happy to be there. I am so grateful to all the staff that provide such excellent care .

After 9 moths at the Ladybirds room, my daughter's development has been amazing and she has been well cared for. They made sure that she was safe in terms of her allergies. Her key worker was reassuring and she had a bespoke plan that reinforced the strengths and developed the weaknesses of my daughter.
Every after 2 months since transitioning to another room, my daughter looks for her and always has a big smile on her face when she sees her old key worker. The management were responsive to my queries and ensured my daughter was safe.

Our older child will be entering reception after a great four years and a bit at Highfield. The staff are consistently interested and responsive to the children and there is a strong sense of community at the place which we have felt is a good place for our children to be at when we're at work. There
are many activities to occupy their time and they're encouraged in their interests which have been taken note of. Staff are always friendly and keep the children in mind.

Highfield Day Nursery has been a pillar of support for our family over the last 7 years; successfully nurturing and teaching 5 of our children. Throughout the years, we have been able to form close and purposeful relationships with different members of staff, both old and new! Sadly, our youngest child
will be leaving in August 2024 and we will truly miss a safe and well-led environment.
Thank you Highfield for all you have done and will continue to do - we are grateful!
We might accidentally turn up in the nursery car park, only for us to realise we should be somewhere else!

A lovely nursery, from the wonderful and friendly staff, engaging chefs and brilliant amenities, the transition to nursery has been easy for both children.
We love the feedback both verbally and on the app. My children have enjoyed going to nursery and have learnt so much whilst they are there.
The
team have been very attentive given my child's food allergies and the chef has made a great variety of foods for him to have as well.
The garden space is brilliant for all age groups and has so much space and a huge range of toys for children to play!
Thank you Highfield!

Very friendly and caring staff, my 9-month-old seems happy at the nursery and is enjoying himself. Staff took the initiative to ask for keywords in his 2nd language which was appreciated. They’re accommodating as when mentioned he could use a walker, they incorporated it into his daily activities. Photos
of him are uploaded onto the app - this is lovely and I always look forward to seeing them. Progress/updates are given via app which is great as it is documented and can refer back to.

Highfield is an amazing nursery and I really recommend them. I currently have 2 children here, one with special education needs and they enjoy every day they go. They send regular updates through their online app including what work they're doing towards targets, pictures and daily food intake/sleep
etc.
I have regular catch-up meetings about my special education needs child to make sure we're all on the same page with his support and they're very keen to get any medical professionals involved such as physio to make sure they're helping him as best they can. They also do parent evenings for every child to discuss their progress and would be happy to arrange any ad hoc meetings if requested.
They have a thorough settling-in process for all new children that really helps put the parent's minds at ease during what can be a stressful time. It also makes the transition much easier for the children.
Both my children have thrived since joining Highfield and I'm grateful for all they do.

Nice and friendly nursery with lovely staff and my daughter has grown great confidence and always feels secure and happy here.
They really take your child’s needs and interests seriously. They will communicate with the parents daily on how the child has been doing not relying on online reports. Parents
felt the warmth from the nursery.

5-star nursery with care for their children! My son recently attended Highfield from when he was in the baby room up until ladybirds and then we had to move due to a change of job location. My son came on leaps and bounds here his bond with his key worker and all the amazing ladies he continues to speak
about daily! Many many more. I was never worried about his care here and will miss this nursery so much.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.896)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.896) out of 10 for Highfield Day Nursery (Birmingham) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.896 for Highfield Day Nursery (Birmingham) is calculated as follows: ( (346 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 383 Ratings = 4.896

  • 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 Highfield Day Nursery (Birmingham) is based on 32 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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8, which has been reached with 32 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.
