Our son only has five more months left at nursery/preschool and will be sorry to leave the nursery and all the staff we have got to know over the years. But he is now well equipped for and looking forward to school.

Brilliant nursery. My daughter just started school and having attended her first parents evening, we had amazing feedback. All thanks to Highfield, she is able to write her full name independently, count her numbers and write up to 30 and her alphabet.

Nursery management have answered emails promptly and been very helpful in the runup to starting nursery. The nursery appears well run and all the staff have been of a high standard and always approachable and friendly. Very pleased with the initial couple of weeks. Key worker and 2 key workers have
worked well. Useful and succinct feedback from day one.
Love the Parent Zone.

A wonderful nursery that our daughter loved attending. The staff are super friendly, professional and instil peace of mind in us parents! Our daughter's progress in all areas has been huge and her confidence has shot up. I highly recommend HDN to anyone who wants the best start for their children. In

We would not hesitate to recommend Highfield Day Nursery to any parent. It is excellent in every area, from the activities the children undertake on a daily basis to the nutritional and varied meals served. My daughter has seconds of most meals each day!
You can tell that the staff genuinely love
what they do and have a real interest in making each child’s day as interesting and interactive as possible. The outside space is a lot of fun the children spend a lot of time out there - something that was important to us when we were looking at nurseries.
There is a parent app where photos and achievements are shared securely. This is an excellent way of seeing what our daughter has been up to on a day to day basis.
Our daughter has loved her time at Highfield and she leaves there a confident, happy little girl- we couldn’t have been happier with our choice for the first few years of her life.

Fantastic nursery. Very caring staff, excellent facilities, good selection of food.
Brilliant hours. We had the choice of placing our daughter in our son's school nursery but chose to keep her in this nursery because we feel the care is exactly what we were looking for. The second time around, we
were not disappointed.

My child liked the nursery from day one and has always felt very settled. The staff team are wonderful and offer a wide variety of activities throughout the day. We particularly liked the fact that the children are rarely in more than a ration of 1-10 per room so it is never too noisy, they have room
to move and plenty of space to play. The garden is wonderfully resourced and plenty of time is given for the children to play in it. It's a wonderful environment for children to learn in and flourish.

The fantastic nursery which provides excellent care and learning activities. My little girl is given a range of highly stimulating activities to take part in. There are amazing toys/resources in and outdoors where they are given free choice and free flow play. Communication is outstanding, excellent
systems to see child obs, and photos of their time at nursery through parent zone, which gives the parent the opportunity to contribute too.

My son started Highfield Nursery when he was 18 months old and from the minute he started, he LOVED it. The building, team and management are all welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. One of the reasons I fell in love with the nursery is the amount of time some of the team have worked there (10 years
plus).
My son has recently left as I'm on maternity leave and we can't wait for him to go back!

My daughter has been attending this nursery for the past 2 years following her attending another provider and this was the best move I made. The management team are professional and proactive. I couldn't have asked for better staff/keyworkers for my daughter, majority of which have been working there
for a long time (always a good sign when a nursery retains staff). I always felt comfortable leaving her here. She has learnt so much since being there, they follow the EYFS and provide regular assessments. The introduction of parent zone meant I could keep track of her progress at any time on my phone or other devises. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Amazing care and support for my daughter. Staff have supported her in her transition to pre-school and know her interests, likes and dislikes. My daughter has access to amazing resources freely and enjoys her time at nursery greatly. The outdoor area is amazing and my daughter gets access to go outside
in all weather. All staff are very welcoming and are very much an outstanding team.

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.
