As my son enjoys his final year at N Family Club Harborne, I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible care and support he has received since the very beginning of his journey here.
The staff here are friendly, knowledgeable, and, most importantly caring. They take the time to understand each
child's individual needs, ensuring that every little one feels valued and supported in their growth and development. The management team are always approachable and professional, fostering a sense of trust and community among parents.
Beyond the outstanding teaching and care, the entire nursery team, from housekeeping to the wonderful chefs, play a vital role in making this setting feel like a home away from home. The meals are nutritious and well-balanced, and the cleanliness and organisation of the nursery are always maintained to the highest standards.
It has been an absolute joy watching my son grow, learn, and thrive in such a positive and enriching environment.

N Family Harborne is a remarkable nursery with great facilities and friendly staff.
Our daughter has settled in very well, she has developed a great relationship with her key worker and all other staff, the staff really have a genuine care for the children.
There are a variety of activities the children
get involved in, ranging from painting to cooking.
Pick up and drops offs are easy and straightforward.
We would definitely recommend N Family Harborne to others.

Both my children love going to this nursery. It took them few months to settle but I wasn't worried because we chose the best nursery for them. Everytime I was in the room and saw a child crying there was always a member of staff cuddling and consoling them. This was a big plus for me because I know
if my kids are upset they are not just left alone. Both my kids has multiple allergies. Allergy are taken seriously and any flare ups are commincated immediately.
My kids really enjoy the different activities and surprising eat the variety of food too!
Everyone is very friendly and welcoming, knows their names. The handovers at the end of thr day are very detailed.
The place is clean and tidy. I am really happy we chose this place. I have recommended this place for my niece when she is ready to go nursery.

Outstanding care. My little one has thoroughly enjoyed being here. He was very shy to begin with being the only child. It was very difficult for us to find the right amount of exposure, but this Nursery has been extremely helpful and caring. The management is very helpful and accommodative.

Cannot speak highly enough of this nursery, my daughter absolutely adores it. There are so many different activities for her to do daily and there is a huge variety of food on offer each week for her meals. All the staff are brilliant, they all know every child and parent by name. So happy we picked
this nursery, we have no regrets!

I visited many nurseries when deciding on where to send my daughter. N Family Club Harborne nursery really stood out for me. It was spacious, well kept, toys and furniture were largely wooden, and the garden looked like a great space for kids to enjoy. My daughter has been going here for over a year
now and the staff are amazing. Each day, my daughter is so excited for nursery and happily trots into her room to meet her key workers and her little friends, and she has the best time. I enjoy seeing the updates on the app each day and I love the little debrief of her day that I get from staff each evening when I pick her up. They are so attentive and inventive with the variety of activities they put on for the children. The food menu is amazing and my daughter is a good eater and has developed a diverse palate as a result. My daughter is so happy here and I have recommended it to so many friends who have subsequently sent their children here and are so pleased that they did.

I recently started my son at N Family in Harborne, and I've been incredibly impressed from the very beginning. The staff are excellent-taking the time to truly understand each child's needs and providing such a caring, attentive environment.
They've been wonderfully accommodating of my son's nap routine
and showed great caution and care when he was unwell, especially after an out-of-nursery injury that required a bandage. Their communication is outstanding, with detailed updates on the app that keep me well-informed and reassured throughout the day.
It's been heartwarming to see how invested and interactive the staff are with the children-their genuine dedication shines through in everything they do. The menu is also highly versatile and well-varied, ensuring a great range of meals for the little ones.
Drop-offs and pick-ups are smooth too.
Overall, I couldn't be happier! A huge thank you to N Family Harborne for making this transition so easy and for being truly wonderful.

Amazing nursery, all staff are friendly and helpful. From the first settling day my daughter loved being at N family Harborne. I am a first time mom and had my reservations about my daughter staring nursery but the staff brings a happy and nurturing environment and my daughter has flourished since starting,
I am happy I chose N family Harborne.

I visited several nurseries and by the first impression, this was the clear lead. My 2 year old has been there for 4 months now and it has been an amazing experience for us all. All of the staff are so attentive and they all know my son's name, including the kitchen and cleaning staff. The front of
house are so friendly and informative, nothing is ever too much trouble.
The team in my son's room are incredible, one staff, in particular, has been our son's rock since day 1 and has made what is a difficult time for parents and children so much easier. During the transition she messaged us multiple
times a day to reassure us, she read his favourite books to him over and over and stayed with him to ensure he was settled. The whole team work so hard on each child and daily photos of playing in the garden, crafts etc have been a really lovely touch.
The rooms are clean and well organised and the garden is huge. The app is fantastic it gives
you all the information you need. Cannot fault the place!

I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care and nurturing environment at N Family Harborne. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were impressed by the warmth and dedication of the staff. The facility is bright, clean, and filled with engaging, educational activities that keep our son
excited and eager to learn each day. The staff's personalised approach ensures that our son feels valued and supported, and their communication with parents is outstanding (both in person and via the app). Our son has flourished both socially and academically since joining N Family. We wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and stimulating place for their little ones. Thank you to all!

Our son has been with N Family for 7 months now and it is hands down the best decision we have ever made. As first-time parents, we had all the emotions about the whole idea but knew if we found the right one, he'd thrive and that is exactly what has materialised. N Family is more than just a nursery,
by way of being part of our son's life, they are an extension of our family and it truly feels like this from every drop-off, to every pickup we feel like we're stepping into a family home where everyone from the front house team to the educators and everyone in-between great us with warm welcomes and fill our hearts with stories from the day. At N Family, you aren't just a number, you are greeted by name and even the cleaner, yes the cleaner! knows our son's name. Accidents aren't hidden behind, they are a given and N Family are honest and transparent here. Dietary req's/allergies/medications/nappy changes/cream procedures are also followed religiously. 10/10 N Family Harbourne, thank you.

Have nothing but excellent things to say about our nursery. The boys love it and have thrived there. Their care givers are exceptional and we even had a friend sign up their toddler following our recommendation. Facilities are recently renovated/updated so cant be faulted. The kitchen produces thoughtful,
healthy meals that the kids enjoy more than what we provide at home.

N Family in Harborne is a great nursery. The staff are incredible. They are so caring and love every single child who walks through the door. My child has learnt so much. He is very good at communicating his feelings and taking turns, and he is just a lovely caring boy and this is a direct result of
the care and attention they give him. The food is very nutritious and looks delicious. My little boy certainly loves it. The managers are very accommodating and provide us with clear information on upcoming events.

Our daughter has been at N Family Club Harborne since May 2022 and I can honestly say it’s the best decision we made for her. She took a while to settle (due to her temperament) but the staff were and have continued to be so patient, kind and supportive. It really does feel like a “family” as all staff
are friendly and involved. She loves nursery now and always talks about her friends and educators in her room. Highly recommend.

My little boy has been at N Family Club Harborne for the last four months and he absolutely loves it! The staff are incredibly caring and it is clear they are passionate about their work and the children they look after. Our son has built up a strong bond with his key person (and the rest of the team)
and he really enjoys the huge variety of planned activities they facilitate. We are given a comprehensive handover at the end of each day and we also receive photo updates via the nursery app. This is so nice to see and it was especially reassuring during his settling-in period. The food is of a very high standard, nutritionally balanced and looks very tasty! We would not hesitate to recommend N Family Club to anyone in the Birmingham area.

The nursery is such a friendly environment and front of house and management staff always make you feel very welcome. Key workers in the rooms are enthusiastic and greet us with a smile every day, they are fantastic at making our son feel comfortable, even on days when he’s finding it hard to say goodbye.
The handovers at the end of the day are really informative and staff really know what our child’s interests are. Activities are creative, exciting and varied and there is a fantastic garden with great equipment for the children to play with. The food is great, really nutritious and the chef is brilliant when dealing with food allergies. There is a breakfast bar for parents which really helps on a day when I’m in a rush and haven’t managed breakfast and there is always someone on hand to answer any questions you may have. The family events out on throughout the year have meant that we have made some really good friends ourselves too!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.974)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.974) out of 10 for N Family Club - Harborne 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 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.974 for N Family Club - Harborne is calculated as follows: ( (490 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 503 Ratings = 4.974

  • 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 N Family Club - Harborne is based on 42 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 92 number of registered child places is 18.4, which has been reached with 42 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.
