About this day nursery

The Hyde Nursery in Barnet is a contemporary childcare setting situated within the historic Hyde Building, offering a charming atmosphere for children. As a sister nursery to Beaumont House in Twickenham and The Pump House in Brentford, it maintains a child-centred approach to education, fostering a safe and nurturing environment where children can develop at their own pace.

The nursery is equipped with carefully selected resources to encourage curiosity and imaginative play. Furthermore, it boasts a secure outdoor area for fresh-air activities and is conveniently located near King George Fields, a local green space.

The Hyde Nursery prioritises nutrition, providing a seasonal menu crafted by experts at The Professional Nursery Kitchen, who collaborate with chefs and a nutritionist. The diverse team of professionals brings a wealth of qualifications and experience to the nursery.

The Hyde Building, formerly a beloved library, is centrally located in Barnet, adjacent to St John the Baptist church and opposite Costa Coffee. It is easily accessible via local bus services and is a ten-minute walk from High Barnet Underground station, making it convenient for commuting parents.

The Hyde Nursery is part of the CC Nurseries Group, established in 2016, which provides quality childcare to over 800 families across Southern England and Scotland, sharing a love for the outdoors and a child-centred philosophy across all its settings.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The manager and the staff are ambitious for every child, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to make good progress. They plan the curriculum around what children need to know next and what engages them.

Outdoor space

Staff provide children with opportunities to build on their physical development. Toddlers enjoy using the balance boards in the garden. However, when children play outside in the garden, the resources in the environment are limited and, occasionally, staff do not think through how to create the best possible learning outcomes.

EAL / language support

Staff support children, including those who speak English as an additional language, to be confident communicators. They speak to children throughout the day. Children demonstrate confidence in offering their thoughts and ideas.

Our baby girl joined The Hyde in January 2023 when she was nearly 11 months old. She absolutely loves going to the nursery. The staff are brilliant with the babies and keep them safe and entertained all day long. They do a range of activities each day and provide parents with lots of pictures which is lovely to see. It is a lovely environment and we’re really happy we chose The Hyde for our baby. We would certainly recommend it. Our thanks go to Jodie and her team.

My son joined the baby room when he was 14 months old and he settled in quickly. The staff are lovely, supportive and caring. They have amazing activities everyday that help children developments. He is enjoying his time at the nursery and I highly recommend the Hyde Nursery.

We are so happy with the nursery. We joined in January 2023 and our son loves his friends and the staff and has lots of fun there. The staff goes above and beyond to make it fun, comfortable and stimulating for the children. We are very pleased with them, he has had such lovely key-persons both in baby room and now in toddler room. It’s a colourful, spacious, clean and comfortable environment for the children. We looked around quite a few before we chose Hyde and couldn’t find any other this spacious and clean. And the staff is so attentive and caring for the children, they come up with wonderful activities for the kids.

Our little boy joined the baby room at The Hyde in February and he absolutely loves it there. He settled in super quickly and has wonderful fun filled days. The staff are lovely, warm and caring and you can see the bonds between the babies and them. The space is beautiful with lots of light, lovely toys and a really nice garden space where they often spend time. They do lots of activities to learn through play and build relationships with one another. He has really thrived since joining and we love how much he enjoys going and feel really lucky and grateful we found The Hyde.

My two children absolutely adore everyone at The Hyde! Warm welcome, smiley faces is what we are experiencing every day! Great environment and lots of everyday activities- few days ago they even build and paint a fire truck form a carton boxes!!! My son couldn’t stop talking about it! 😊My daughter, in a baby room, loves them garden- playing with sand and water especially! Highly recommended to every parent looking for a nursery where children will feel great and will learn a lot! ☺️
