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!

N Family Club Harborne provide a delightful experience for my 2-year-old daughter. The vibrant and nurturing environment, coupled with dedicated staff, ensured a positive and enriching atmosphere for her development.
The variety of age-appropriate activities and facilities tailored to toddlers makes
her time there engaging and enjoyable. The emphasis on safety measures and attentive care further solidified my confidence in the nursery. My daughter's happy moments and budding social interactions showcase the positive impact of N Family Club Harborne on her early childhood experience.

From day one, my child has had a great experience, made many friends and developed well overall with his learning.
One thing that I would improve is consistency with key workers. Though we don't think that this has affected his learning experience, consistent and key workers would be ideal.
Overall
an amazing experience.

It really is the most amazing nursery. We moved from another setting and were impressed from the very start. The care and attention to getting to know your child as an individual is outstanding. All staff knows all the children’s names even if they are not in the room they work in. As a parent you feel
listened to and understood and nothing is ever too much. The food is outstanding, the activities in the rooms are fantastic. Our little one has come on leaps and bounds since starting at N Family Club. We cannot find a single fault with this nursery, it truly has a sense of belonging and promotes equality and diversity and provides truly the most wonderful care for the children.

Really friendly and dedicated staff, great at transitioning my second child into the nursery and welcoming to everyone. Food (for children and parents) is delicious. Children do a wide range of activities and absolutely love being there.
Communication with all of the nursery staff is excellent and

N Family Harborne really is a special part of our family and has been now for the last 13 months. The attention, love and care they give to our son is just wonderful. Since being at nursery he has come on leaps and bounds in all aspects of his little life. What they teach and the way in which it is
taught is just fantastic and our son absolutely loves it. The excitement on his face on nursery days is so lovely to see. I would highly recommend N Family Harborne to all.

Our daughter has been at N Family Club Edgbaston since 10 months old and has absolutely loved it. It's been such a relief to us to drop her off knowing she is so happy there. She has been so fond of both her key people. One of the big differentiators we found compared to other nurseries in the area
is the food on offer. We think the range and breadth of what has been offered has prevented her becoming a fussy eater. Sadly we're leaving the area so are now trying to find somewhere as good!

Incredible facilities, caring/hard-working team, lovely management, lots of great development opportunities. The garden is stunning, the toys are eco-friendly and there is a lot of attention to every detail. The team organises fun events in the summer and for Christmas and in general, everything is
really well thought out. The most important element that really makes a huge difference to me compared to other nurseries I’ve visited is the menu. The lovely on-site chef cooks fresh nutritious meals every day with no processed or sugary ingredients. Can’t fault this nursery! It’s not cheap but you get what you pay for. No complaints and would highly recommend it.

N Club Edgbaston has been such an important part of our child’s life - the staff, setting and care and attention for our daughter is second to none. I’m so pleased she has been attending here since she was 10 months old and it’s going to be a big wrench to leave when she starts school! Hugely recommended.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.976)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.976) 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 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 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 4.976 for N Family Club - Harborne is calculated as follows: ( (526 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 539 Ratings = 4.976

  • 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 45 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 45 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.
