Our daughter has been attending Bright Little Stars for nearly two years now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and support she receives. The staff are warm, attentive and genuinely invested in the children’s development. We’ve seen such positive growth in her learning, confidence, and social skills during her time there. She comes home excited to share what she’s learned during the day and it’s clear the environment is both nurturing and stimulating. As parents, we feel reassured knowing she is in such a safe and encouraging setting. We are really pleased with the nursery and would highly recommend Bright Little Stars to any new parents looking for a supportive, high-quality early years experience.

A fantastic nursery, highly recommend. Both my children love the friendly and caring staff, good quality nutritious food and the amazing facilities and learning. The outdoor space is fantastic and the children get lots of time outside. They are also taken on nature walks and, as they get older, do 'forest school' at the park over the road. The nursery has numerous external classes teach the children too, including Mini Lingos (spanish lessons), KidActive, Football coaches, Kangaroo Kids and Wild Fangs, who bring in insects and animals to show the children.

Our kids joined BLS Barnet in September 2025 and we have been impressed throughout. The staff are committed, loving and brilliant at what they do, the management clearly looks after their staff and children really well, and the facilities are great. Engagement with parents is on point, and I am confident the little ones are well-loved and looked after.

Excellent nursery, would highly recommend. Our son was there for three years, although it took him a little while to settle in, the staff did all they could to help ease his anxiety. He made lots of friends and was very keen to go every day. Really like the fact that you can log in and have a look at your child’s room through video stream.
