My 14-month-old has been at Bright Horizons Barnes for 9 months - since it first opened. He loves it and enthusiastically waves his arms every morning when he arrives. He is making great progress and hitting all his milestones. The facilities are far superior to many other local nurseries. The staff are so warm and friendly. My son is really attached to his key worker which definitely eases working mummy guilt!
I'm very happy with the care provided in Barnes Nursery. Both my children are very happy at Bright Horizons Barnes. They love the attention and love that they get. Very good communication with parents. Kids have a lot of activities both indoor and outdoor.
Excellent facilities - everything is brand new and top-spec and it's in a beautiful building. The garden is amazing and each room decorated and arranged differently with great furniture, toys and art and learning displays. They do great activities - even for babies they have had people come in and do puppet shows. We have had valentine's hearts, christmas cards and other art come home with us. The staff are so friendly, professional and caring and go over and above to show care and attention to the children. There is constant feedback about the child's development and progress. My daughter is really happy and so am I. She has learned so many new things at nursery and I can see the benefits of her being there. As a first-time mum returning to work, everything about this nursery allayed my fears. Healthy nutritious meals are made on-site and the kids eat really well. It is safe and secure. The location is extremely convenient and the hours are amazing for working parents.
Top quality staff, top quality nursery and care.
I cannot fault this place in anyway, wonderful menu for my kids, lots of activities to do.
I couldn't imagine leaving my kids anywhere else.
After seeing many other nurseries as soon as I came here I knew it was the best decision I've made and it's worth every penny.
Thank you Bight Horizons Barnes.
My son has been attending since Nov 2015 and has loved every day so far! He literally runs into the class every day and doesn't want to leave at the end. The staff are extremely warm, kind and fun and its evident my son is very comfortable with them. The fact that the Nursery's manager's own son attends the facility really says it all. The facility itself is of the highest standard, basically brand new and they have thought of everything. Small details like 3 types of sinks - all with different taps (twist, lift and sensor) that they children will meet in real life make this place stand out to me. The kids also have their own fully kitted-out mini kitchen with all mini appliances for them to learn to cook while using the ingredients from the garden they have planted themselves. The outdoor area is state of the art. There are many other aspects I could rave about but a parent must visit the nursery to get the full effect for themselves. Lastly, the safety of the facility is fantastic.

She holds a CACHE Level 3 Diploma Certificate for the Children and Young People’s Workforce and began her childcare journey as a Nursery Assistant. Over the years, she has progressed through several key roles, including Nursery Nurse, Room Leader, Third in Charge, Deputy Manager, and now Nursery Manager.
This progression has provided Marie with a wealth of knowledge and experience, enabling her to effectively support her team in delivering inclusive play and learning opportunities for all children.

Daniella has been at Barnes Bright Horizons since September 2023, bringing over 13 years of experience in childcare. She began her career as an apprentice and later qualified as a Level 3 practitioner. After spending four years at a nursery, she progressed into a management role within a larger company in Lincoln, where she gained over four years of valuable leadership experience.
With a strong background in supporting children with SEND, Daniella is deeply passionate about child development. In her current role at Bright Horizons, she also serves as the SENCO lead, contributing to both the care of children and the professional growth of the staff team.
She looks forward to continuing her journey at Bright Horizons and making a positive impact within the setting.
Aoife has held a longstanding passion for early years education, which was further deepened during her BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Education. Her experience as a Playworker for children with SEND allowed her to apply academic research in real-world settings, inspiring her to pursue an MA in Inclusive Education: SEND and Disability.
While studying, Aoife gained hands-on experience working across various nursery settings, where she supported children's growth and development. Witnessing developmental milestones became a particular area of interest, ultimately leading her to the role of Toddler Room Leader at Barnes Day Nursery.
Building on this foundation, Aoife progressed to the position of Third in Charge, where she provides support across both the Baby and Toddler rooms. Her journey reflects a deepening understanding of early childhood development and a strong commitment to fostering a nurturing, inclusive environment for all children in her care.
