Both my little boy and little girl have attended Highfield Day Nursery. My overall experience has totalled the last 6 years. It is my daughters last 2 months before she is to leave for new beginnings at reception school. Where has the time gone? I cannot begin to describe how amazing all the staff have
been. The kids are the most precious things in our lives and they have cared for them as they would their own. It has meant we can go to work with peace of mind knowing our children are in safe hands.

The nursery has provided an excellent level of care for my child.
I have seen her grow and develop into a lovely, caring and thoughtful child.
Her education level has improved dramatically and I feel that the staff have helped to ensure that all the children develop.
I would most definitely recommend
the nursery to prospective parents.
Excellent facilities with very good care and development.
Good and responsive staff with good levels of education.

After three wonderful years my son is 'graduating' from Highfield today.
He has had a fantastic time and has developed into a confident and thoughtful boy who is ready for school.

Extremely friendly, helpful and supportive staff. My daughter has been here since Caterpillars and loves every moment of it. We have always loved the activities and learning that the nursery provides. My daughter has developed her sound and language skills exceptionally well.

It sums it up when I picked up my 2 1/2 year old and he said "I want to stay now mummy". When kids want to stay you know the staff are doing an amazing job! Thank you.

My two boys are in nursery (one in pre-school and one in Ladybirds) and it's really nice to see how kind and inclusive the nursery is. My older one will visit my little one and play in the garden.

My son has attended Highfield Nursery from 13 months moving through Caterpillars and now into Ladybirds. I'm very pleased with the staff, facilities and environment and happy to see my son settled. It's lovely to be able to have the opportunity to come in and attend Mother's Day afternoon and see him
playing and interacting with his friends and carers.

The nursery provision received has simply been outstanding and my son has been both enthusiastic and happy to attend this setting. I feel he is constantly challenged and thoroughly engaged in the various activities undertaken with his peers. I consider this has set him up very well for attending school
in September and he will be 'school ready'. The team has worked together well in assuring this is the case and I am pleased with the service given by them in pre-school.

We could not be happier with Highfield Nursery. The team is fantastic and we are entirely confident that our child will be safe in their excellent care. Our son is a happy, chatty, funny little chap who at 22 months is hitting his milestones and more. Thank you, Highfield.

The nursery caters really well for children of all ages. Both my children went to Highfield Day Nursery and absolutely loved it. The staff, environment and management are child-friendly, welcoming and always cheerful. The children love the activities there and also the garden. There are only two aspects
which I would have to comment on for improvement;
1) The variety of food for breakfast is really poor. Only Rice Krispies and cornflakes. When the child goes every day it becomes boring- should have toast and other options.
2) Provide halal options, would make a great difference.

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.
