    Her key person is incredible with her and the team team in Caterpillars are just incredible. The feedback I receive personally and on the app is so reassuring, I look forward to seeing her moments as they consistently melt my heart. What an incredible childcare centre, our daughter has not long started and I could not be more pleased with the level of care she gets.

    Both my boys, one in caterpillars and one in bumblebees are both very cheerful. The team are outstanding and have tailored their approach to the character and needs of the kid. My elder one is being encouraged to develop with his writing and letter discovering as well as being taught about emotions and how to deal with different social situations whilst having a huge amount of enjoyable to prepare him for preschool. On the other end of the age range my 1-year-old could not be more cared for and is nurtured; he continues to develop and gain independence by feeding himself, discovering to walk and develop hand eye coordination. He is very cheerful and could not ask for more from the team. The overall management of the childcare centre is excellent and the office are consistently willing to help with the admin of childcare which is much appreciated. I could not be happier with my journey of Highbury Lodge.

    I have the self‑assurance and peace of mind that my kid is being taken care of in a remarkable, attentive and stimulating setting whilst I am at work. From discovering about the life cycle of a butterfly, knowing her left from her right, how to write and recognise her name to counting to a 100 on her own. She amazes us with her wide vocabulary and a lot of this can be attributed to her childcare centre setting. We believe Highbury Lodge sets a excellent foundation for discovering and the team are all lovely and genuinely care about my daughter’s wellbeing. We are extremely cheerful with the care provided to our daughter.

    The team has been excellent at noticing his interests and planning activities that tie into what he is enjoying at any particular time. We consistently get updates on how his day has been and would highly suggest the childcare centre. Our son is in the Ladybird room and absolutely loves it.

    Our daughter consistently comes home with a massive smile. Absolutely remarkable childcare centre!

    He has made so many friends and formed excellent bonds with the childcare centre adults. He loves all the activists and games and they have really helped him with emotions, friendships, counting and reading. Our little boy has been in the bumblebee room for over 6-months now and just loves it.

    All practitioners are attentive and loving to the kids, and I have all self‑assurance my kid will have his needs met throughout the day. My kid has also progressed developmentally, and his self‑assurance has skyrocketed because of the emphasis on discovering and playtime. Their food is also fantastic and well-balanced, which I’m grateful for.
    Overall, we have a very cheerful kid, and I can’t suggest the childcare centre enough. Highbury Lodge is an outstanding childcare centre, and we are absolutely delighted our kid is attending.

    The practitioners are attentive and expert and the management team are very organised and welcoming. We could not be happier with the care our kids receive and would highly suggest to anyone looking for a childcare centre setting in Hitchin. Both my son’s have attended Highbury Lodge Day Childcare centre (Hitchin), with my youngest currently in the Ladybirds class.

    The daily assistance and welcoming nature of all the team, has ensured she has really engaged with the discovering elements, but also the building of positive relationships, which she can take forward into her next adventure. Our second daughter has just moved into Ladybirds, where the transition was smooth and she instantly relaxed into the new setting. The improvements in her motor skills and language in such a short amount of time is down to the encouraging team, they really can’t do enough. The meals on offer are incredible and varied; they consistently come home having tried something new. They both also adore all the outside space to be creative and have enjoyable with their friends. Every day they go in excited and cheerful – what more could you want! Both our daughters attend Highbury Lodge Day Childcare centre Hitchin; our first is now in pre-school and is having the best start to her next journey into a Primary School.

    The team are very expert, compassionate and consistently keep us informed and updated on her development. Would suggest the childcare centre to first-time parents, as we have been very reassured by our journey and our daughter settled in very quickly. Thank you! Our daughter started at Highbury Lodge in February, she enjoys going to childcare centre, loves the activities and is cheerful when we drop her off.

    All the team are exceptional! Extremely accommodating to our dietary requirements and consistently ready to go the extra mile. My son loves it and we have seen huge improvements in all aspects of his development. I am especially pleased with his potty training. Keep up the excellent work! My son has been attending for a few months now and we are delighted with Highbury Lodge Day Childcare centre (Hitchin).

    I was worried about how sociable our daughter would be given the strange circumstances of her first year, having been born during a global pandemic. However, she settled into the caterpillars class relatively quickly and had a lovely relationship with her key worker there for the first few months. She transitioned into the ladybirds class at the start of this year and has flourished. She loves going to childcare centre and has made some lovely little friendships in her class. Her weeks are filled with activities and she comes home with new skills all the time, be it new movements to childcare centre rhymes or recently she has learned signing for thank you and more. All the team, both classroom and office, are really attentive and supportive and she adores her keyworker. The app updates are really supportive and keep us informed throughout the day. I highly suggest this childcare centre, it’s fantastic. We absolutely adore Highbury Lodge Day Childcare centre (Hitchin) and are so glad we chose to send our daughter here.

    From the very moment he started we felt he was in such secure hands surrounded by remarkable team who are incredibly supported. From the team in the office to the practitioners in the room we couldn’t be more impressed with the whole staffing team. He’s developed so many skills and gets to do such a remarkable range of activities.
    We adore the updates from an online app to show what he’s been up to and how he’s eaten. He consistently looks like he’s having a excellent day and we sense so assured he’s being well looked after. He loves the team who surround him and we sense he is discovering so much every day he’s there. We are so cheerful he’s got a place there and can’t suggest it enough! We sense incredibly fortunate our son attends Highbury Lodge Day Childcare centre.

    The outside space is remarkable, we receive regular updates on how our kids are doing and most importantly we sense that the team really know both kids well. Highbury has been outstanding from the outset for us – we have two kids in childcare centre and everyone is so welcoming, both kids adore their childcare centre days and everything is run extremely smoothly.

    The team are so welcoming, welcoming and keep our kid secure and cheerful every day. Our kid’s key worker is so supportive and consistently keeps us up to date with photos and information about how he is getting on and his overall development. The childcare centre provides nutritional food and a excellent discovering, supportive and nurturing setting. I felt so confident leaving my kid here when going back to work. I could not suggest enough. Highbury Lodge Day Childcare centre is outstanding in every way.

    They absolutely adore it! The team are incredible and consistently looking for new activities to help the kids in their development. The food is nutritious and freshly made on site which was one of the biggest items on our wish list. Our eldest son loves the big garden and all the activities it offers (sandpit, cycles, climbing etc.) We particularly adore the weekly newsletter from the admin team and the tailored approach for each kid. I can’t fault this childcare centre.
    The only small issues are the lack of space in the coat hanging spaces/areas and the rather small garden for younger kids. My two kids are attending this childcare centre, one in Caterpillar room and the other in Bumblebee.

    She settled in really well after a few days and it is excellent to see how comfortable she is with all of the team. The range of activities is well suited to her age and she has made huge development leaps since joining in mid February. We were considering a larger childcare centre with increased facilities but the homely sense of Highbury Lodge has been the perfect transition from home life to childcare centre for our daughter. Our daughter absolutely loves Highbury Lodge Day Childcare centre Hitchin.

    As well as providing a lovely atmosphere I have been extremely impressed with the teaching my daughter has received. She has made excellent advances in speaking, her reading and writing are coming along, and wider areas of discovering eg bees and honey-making, have been a pleasant surprise.
    You can never be sure how a childcare centre will be just from a quick visit so we’ve been absolutely delighted Highbury Lodge was not just as great, but better than the very positive impression we got before enrolling our daughter.
    Would suggest it highly. My daughter has been in pre-school for the last 5 months and has absolutely loved it.
    The team are remarkable – dedicated, welcoming and they genuinely care for the kids.

    He was consistently reluctant to go to other people or be left with anyone other than me. The team did an incredible job in settling him in and keeping me updated as to how he was doing. Team quickly got him used to the setting and having enjoyable uploading pictures of some exceptional things we’d never done with him.
    Not to mention, the biggest game changer for us was team getting him to take a bottle which we’d failed with since he was born!
    This is our second kid who has gone to Highbury and all the team are remarkable and really go the extra mile.
    Wouldn’t hesitate to suggest. We started our son in the caterpillar room in September.

    Both kids have really flourished here. Management is consistently so accommodating and understanding.
    Only feedback to Improve would be to incorporate more phonics in preschool to ease transition to reception. Outstanding team.
