The staff here are excellent and our son really enjoys his time at the nursery, often happily diving out of our arms into theirs at the start of the day. There is a wide variety of food on offer, and the staff ensure that the kids get enough, providing double portions if necessary. The rooms and garden are well equipped with toys and very clean, plus they are often doing planned activities like baking cakes or making pizzas. The management are always very responsive to our queries and we feel the team are very supportive in trying to encourage our son's development. All of the children seem very happy and we are very pleased with our choice.
A great nursery. All three of my children have attended and have been extremely happy. The management team work really well with the other members of staff, there is a lovely atmosphere when entering so I’m put at ease knowing my children are in a warm, welcoming environment, All members of staff...
My children’s key persons are lovely and really do genuinely care for them.
A lovely nursery, which I am more than happy to recommend to friends and family.

Our family has had the pleasure to have our child at East Barnet for just over the past two years. In that time, he has spent time in almost all of the age rooms. He has had close connections with all of the staff (not just his own room or with his key workers) and made many close friends with his peers. Many of his peers have remained with him for over 2 years. He has fun every day as he learns, especially enjoying time in the garden, sports lessons, French singing, cooking and dancing. He asks to go to nursery and chats at home about his day there. We are leaving the area so have to say goodbye which is incredibly sad as we would love to take East Barnet with us and have our second child start soon too!

All of the staff take time to get to know your child and are always on hand to let you know what they have been doing. I know that my daughter is in safe hands when I take her to nursery and she is very happy there.
Happy with the progress our child has made so far. Just feel like a bit more proactive teaching required as the current learning exercises are sufficient for the child development.

My son loves coming to Jungles and can't wait to get stuck in and be independent. He always comes home grubby, happy and full of stories of the things he's done. He loves his key person here and talks a lot about what he had done with her and the other people in his room.

Very friendly staff and my child loves going to the nursery. My child has developed quite a bit since she first joined. I will recommend this nursery.

My son has been at the nursery for nearly two and a half years now. We are very happy with the care he has received. All the staff are extremely friendly and he has settled in well. He has always formed strong bonds with his key workers, which has been very reassuring. The nursery has been very supportive of his potty training and each time he has transitioned to a new room.
