My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 6 months old. Outstanding childcare with excellent facilities and a stimulating learning environment. Children are happy and healthy here with outdoor space being used to its full potential.

Wonderful nursery. Both my children have been through it and they have thrived. We have both been satisfied that they have been with caring staff and in a great learning environment. It speaks volumes that with our second child we still chose Highfield over the nursery attached to the school that my
older daughter had moved to. The building has a lot of character and the kids loved the garden.

Staff are very attentive. My son's key worker is very good and really encourages my son in daily activities and learning. The variety of food provided is well balanced. My son looks forward to attending nursery so as long as he is happy I am happy.

My son is leaving Highfield Day Nursery today after 4 very happy years. I can honestly say it truly is an outstanding nursery, with fabulous staff that really make a "home from home" for the children.
My son has loved every minute and has developed into a well mannered, polite, fun-loving, little boy
- part of which is a credit to the Highfield staff.
I can't thank you all enough and will be sad to no longer be part of the nursery life.
I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough to anyone looking for somewhere to invest in their children's upbringing.

Since our son started the nursery, I have noticed a lot of improvements: He started using the normal bathroom; his speech developed; he started making contacts and friends with other kids and teachers and he is learning to read and count.

This was the best nursery I visited many years ago for my first child. Many years later, my third child is now here. When staff change, there is a tendency for standards to slip slightly but this is quickly rectified once drawn to management's attention.

My twins attend Highfield 3 days a week and have been here for over a year. They love nursery, the staff and have had great fun at their time here. The home learnt loads, grown in confidence and look forward to coming in every session.

The standard of care taken in preparing the food and engaging the children in different activities is second to none.
It really is the place where all the staff know your name.

Two of our children have attended Highfield over the last 5 years. We have always been delighted with the care that they have received. The staff are very knowledgeable about the children and plan carefully to ensure activities are well suited and stimulating. The children have always been happy here
and we don't have tears when they are left. We, as parents, have felt confident that the children are well cared for, fed with healthy delicious food and having plenty of fun - what more would we want in a nursery.

It is very well run in terms of the management. The quality of staff is exceptional. I feel that are really invested in my daughter's development, and her progression. It is a very positive experience for our daughter and I think any doubts I had as working mother if the nursery is the right thing,
has completely gone and she has benefited from being there. The standard and staff at the nursery are superb.

Was good, however based on all reviews going digital there was a few teething problems but am pleased to see that this is a step forwards in a positive way. All the information was still made available. So overall a very happy parent. :)

Highfield nursery is a wonderful environment to leave your child in the care of fantastic staff. I have peace of mind that my daughter is happy, safe, playing, learning and developing both mentally and physically. It is like an extended family and you feel the love and warm atmosphere when you enter
the building. My daughter has a strong and enriching bond with the staff and loves going to Pre-school, often not wanting to leave to come home! I highly recommend Highfield and we will truly miss it when my daughter leaves to start school this year.

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.
