Bright Horizons Barnes Day Nursery and Preschool

The staff are hardworking and friendly, my child always looks forward to going to nursery, and the children take part in lots of activities and create amazing pictures every day. I am very grateful that my daughter, Salyma, is part of Barnes Nursery.

I feel so fortunate to have chosen this nursery. Three years in, I genuinely cannot imagine a better one. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Barnes team!

Communication with parents is also very smooth and detailed.

Im so happy with Bright Horizons in Barnes! Leaving my 1 year old daughter for long days isn't always easy but knowing that she is looked after so well helps. Not only can I see that the staff are lovely with the children but also my daughter is coming home in a good mood and is never sad to be dropped off in the mornings.

Couldn't recommend this nursery enough

My daughter is very happy at Bright horizons, Barnes. She leaves nursery with a smile and a wave to all the staff when we pick her up and she's come in leaps and bounds since joining. A very friendly nursery indeed.

Well worth every penny!

The management and team from the last year or so have done a great job in turning Bright Horizons Barnes Day Nursery and Preschool into a well-run ship! Staff turnover has decreased and all the staff there are just wonderful. They've started putting more effort into learning activities for the children across all areas from yoga, literature, gardening and science. As well as family activities where parents get to come in and visit for Halloween and Christmas. The staff are very warm and caring and show interest in the children's development. The chef is great and prepares meals that my little one talks about all the time. Overall, we are very happy with Bright Horizons and the team should be very proud of what they have built for the little ones.

I would highly recommend this nursery, the staff are very friendly and caring.

Our little boy started at his first nursery (aged 12 months) this summer. Like most parents, we were nervous but the nursery had many 'stay and play' and settling-in days. We were drawn to the fact that the baby room was large and light, with a good ratio of staff. The team have been so welcoming to us and our little one. They provide many different activities to keep learning and play varied - and we loved that there is an outdoor space. It's early days but we're so pleased we chose this nursery. He is cared for, entertained and kept safe by a warm and capable team. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you Bright Horizons Barnes for aiding my son's confidence as he grows into a toddler.

Our son has been attending Bright Horizons Barnes Day Nursery and Preschool for eighteen months, since April 2023. He started out with a friendly and energetic team in the toddler room and currently loves his days in the preschool room. This has been our first nursery experience as parents and it has been such a positive one. The continuity of the staff has been excellent, as has their communication and care towards our son. The activities planned are fun and the learning space (indoor and outdoor) is great. Thank you to everyone who is part of the team at Barnes Bright Horizons - you are a brilliant team!

The building is perfect and the food is incredible. Very, very happy!

Very friendly environment. Teachers and staff have been great in communicating daily progress, activities and everything going on at the nursery.

They make sure to have great special days to celebrate various key events which brings loads of excitement for kids.

Both our boys go to Bright Horizons Barnes Day Nursery and Preschool. We couldn't be happier. The staff are all fantastic and are thoroughly invested in each child's development and needs. Our eldest started when he was 18 months old. He instantly made great connections with his "teachers" and now he is 3 and has made strong friendships. Our youngest joined at just 4 months old - now 6 months, he goes in every day with a smile and an eager happy wriggle! We are so comforted knowing each boy has made true connections to their key workers and enjoys themselves every day.

The staff at the nursery take an active interest in my daughter's development. I can't fault their dedication and personalisation surrounding their care for my daughter. Whenever I visit I feel welcomed and can see first-hand their dedication in what is a challenging industry.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for almost 2.5 years now and I’m very happy and proud of how she’s growing here from baby room to pre school. Amazing staff, they do care about children wellbeing.

We appreciate the nurturing and caring nature of all the staff and we know that our children are in safe hands whenever we drop them off. Our children have enjoyed being at this nursery. They have created some amazing relationships with their teachers and friends.

I cannot speak more highly of the staff at Bright Horizons, Barnes Day Nursery and Preschool. From the very first day that we dropped our son off, I have felt that his needs (and mine!) were listened to and more importantly actioned, and respected. As the mother of a ‘covid baby’, I was anxious to leave him in the beginning, but the staff made us feel confident and comfortable that he was in safe hands and he was and has been ever since. They go above and beyond for all the children and I am blown away daily at his development, the ease with which he has made friends and his genuine love for his teachers. I am also impressed with the variety of activities the children are given and I love that I can track everything on the app! I cannot recommend Bright Horizons, Barnes Day Nursery and Preschool enough.
