The staff at Starlings Nursery endeavour to work with parents to develop confident children who thrive and have every opportunity to reach their full potential.

Staff encourage, nurture and support children throughout their time at the nursery.

At Starlings Nursery, staff ask themselves, 'Would they want this for their own children or family members?' It’s a great question that guides practitioners and managers and ensures each child is at the centre of everything the nursery does.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Extremely pleased. Very happy with everything so far. Lovely team and very good and caring teachers. The best nursery in Barnet. My daughter moved here from a different nursery and we are so glad that we made that decision. She loves coming here and has made some good friends. Love seeing all the things
she does on the parents' app. Thank you.

Absolutely love this nursery all three of my children have attended and currently attend this placement.
From the birth of my first daughter, I knew this was the nursery and staff I wanted my children to be with.
They are super efficient in keeping parents up to date on daily and weekly activities
and always ensure my girls come home with a smile on their face.
When your children run to their teachers without turning back for a cuddle you know it's the perfect place where they feel safe and happy.

Best nursery in town! First, my daughter went there and absolutely loved this place and now my son also goes there, and he is really happy there. Both of my children are a bit shy and this place helped them to overcome their difficulties. Excellent service. Highly recommend

The management and staff are what make this nursery extremely special. They are professional, dedicated and most of all caring and patient. My daughter is extremely happy in the setting and I am extremely happy with her progress both academically and socially. She is in a safe, nurturing environment
with excellent teachers and resources.
The staff communicate frequently through Tapestry and in person.
I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to others and will be enrolling my second child when she is old enough to attend.

I have been incredibly impressed by the care shown by the staff of Starlings. My son started in Sep 2019 and although he loved the nursery, he didn't like saying goodbye at drop-off. The staff went out of their way to help him settle in. I felt very confident leaving him, knowing that they would show
him love and affection, and he would have a wonderfully happy morning and learn in a calm, structured way. He comes home full of joy about his friends and what he's learnt. The staff are very easy to deal with and communication between the nursery and parents is excellent, in my experience. I have already recommended Starlings to two friends, who are planning to send their children from September.

In my opinion Starlings Nursery is the best choice for parents and their kids. My daughter started to attend this nursery since September 2019 and I am extremely likely to recommend it. Firstly, my daughter is not a native English speaker and the staff did everything to help her feel comfortable and
they never had a problem with communication. Secondly, they are always friendly, patient and do their job with pleasure. I love to see how they play and learn together. What is more, kids have lots of interesting activities, they are never bored and they share a time to play and learn. My daughter loves to go there, she speaks English better and better, she knows lots of songs and rhymes, she can count, she recognizes and writes letters (even her name without my help), she knows a lot of interesting facts and lots more! And she is well behaved now! :) thank you Starlings Nursery Staff!

The best nursery with amazing staff! Our older son was attending the nursery in the past, he loved it and still talks about it. Now our younger one started his learning journey here. We are more than happy, this is the best place that we can wish for our child, they have lots of great activities, and
have much fun while they learn.
The staff are so friendly, caring and clearly enjoy their job. They are also very supportive when attempting difficult stages. And they always greet you at the door with a smile! We love everything about this nursery.

From Day1 Starlings Nursery has impressed me and completely surpassed my expectations. A totally professional outfit, I still can't believe they pack away everything every day! They are consistent to the letter, and I always feel updated at all times through the Tapestry app. They do the cutest activities
and my son (who did not settle at his first nursery at all) enjoys every single day he has been there (which is 18 months now!) and has come on leaps and bounds in developments. The whole team at Starlings do such a fantastic job and I cannot recommend them highly enough. It is not often you come across a place like this!

Amazing nursery and staff - was recommended by a friend and I loved there on my first visit, immediately decided to send my boy here when he just turned two. I visited a couple of nurseries but only Starlings stands out. Especially thanks to my boy’s keyworker - she’s an extremely kind and nice person
who cares about your child like her own. She always updates me not only on my child’s day to day activities but also his developments in a certain period, she also provides me with some recommendations and follow-up activities that I can do at home. Really appreciate! Definitely recommend to any parent who is looking for an outstanding nursery.

Amazing nursery and amazing staff. After trying to settle my son at a previous nursery and failing, I thought he wouldn't settle anywhere. However, with the support of the staff, he settled after only a couple of sessions. The staff make him feel safe and give him the reassurance and encouragement he
needs. He has now been there a year and has progressed far more than I expected. He enjoys going to nursery every day and has a great relationship with every member of staff. There is lots of space in the nursery with lots of different activities and aspects of learning. I am so glad I found Starlings and couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. The level of care shown to my two-year-old daughter has been impeccable. There is a lovely balance of learning and play given to her here and lots of hugs from the staff when needed too, which is so important at this young age. I saw lots of nurseries
before Starlings and without doubt, I'm so glad I found this one. It's far cleaner than others that I saw and the staff have a natural warmth and tenderness with the children that I didn't see elsewhere. Well done Starlings Nursery!

This nursery is one of the best nurseries out there.
I love everything about the nursery, all the teachers are great.
Every single worker who works at Starling Nursery is amazing and works really hard!
Couldn’t ask for a better team to look after the child. Every single staff member is so kind
and friendly. It’s the best nursery I’ve ever come across.
My daughter is coming up to 3 years old and she loves her nursery, especially her teacher (key worker), she adores seeing her and works so well with my little girl.
I seriously recommend this nursery to anyone.
The best service you can get.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.970)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.970) out of 10 for Starlings Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.970 for Starlings Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.97
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Starlings Nursery is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
