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.

Staff are very kind and understanding. My daughter progressed a lot in all her areas of development since attending nursery. They use a lot of advanced methods in their teaching and interacting with children. They are always giving us feedback and cooperate. Management team are very professional, understanding
and competent. Environment is safe, happy and welcoming. My daughter is always looking forward to going to nursery and has a loving relationship with her teachers and peers. Definitely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff at Starlings Nursery are fantastic. They really take care of our son. He is delayed and has been getting better as he has one on one sessions with staff who are teaching him. Since he has been going, his speech has improved and he responds and is willing to learn more as they have a great
approach to teaching him. He loves the staff and enjoys playing and leaving there. If you're looking for a nursery in New Barnet, look no further and try and get your child in Starlings.

Could not recommend this nursery highly enough.
The amazing staff have been brilliant with my son.
He has loved every minute.
The most positive start a child can get, from the beginning of his nursery education to the very end. The team of teachers are nurturing and treat every child with respect
and individuality, dependant on the child's personality. I urge any parent to just see the nursery and how the staff work, to agree that it is a great place for any child to learn through play.

Review from Simon W (Father of Child) published on 13 July 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended this nursery since it opened, however, she had been in the care of 4 of the staff for about 2 years at a previous nursery.
She is now only days away from going to "big school" and the thought is quite daunting.
The staff here are in a league of their own. When you see your
child showing affection towards a teacher like they would a family member or friend it tells you a lot and instils trust that your child is in safe hands.
There is continuous interaction and updates on the progress made. There is always artwork that she brings home to show and different subjects to vary her learning experience.
My daughter has been assisted in all aspects of early learning like potty training, drawing etc, counting, reading and interacting with others.
I believe my daughter has been given the best opportunity to now move on to reception class.
It is a safe, clean and friendly place. My daughter loves going here to see her friends and teachers, as well as to learn.
Thank you all.

To say that I am extremely happy with this nursery is an understatement, there are no words to describe how wonderful this place is. The nursery setting is great but its the staff that make this place amazing. They are the most amazing team of individuals. The nursery manager has been my rock in a long
process of getting my son diagnosed with autism, she has gone above and beyond her duties to help me and my son. My son is very challenging and the staff know exactly how to deal with him when he gets difficult. He absolutely loves going to nursery and there is no better feeling than leaving your child at nursery and knowing he is happy and genuinely loved by the staff. I highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started to go to Starlings after she was not happy anymore at her previous nursery. Her friend's mum, who used to attend the same nursery, recommended Starlings, and I am so so happy I listened to her, that every time I meet her I thank her for this.
My daughter loves it so much, every
Saturday morning (too) she wants to go there. Her development has improved enormously, she is a happy bunny now, doesn't mind she is the first child in every morning, as I have to rush to work, or the last one to be picked up.
She keeps improving at everything at high speed, she is a very confident girl, again, a happy girl with a smile on all the time, just what I want to see. :)
I am ever so grateful for this nursery, I can not recommend highly enough to everyone.
Thank you again Starlings Nursery!!!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since joining Starlings Nursery our son has developed in so many ways. His confidence has blossomed under encouraging environment set out by staff at the nursery. He remains highly balanced, free-minded and looks forward to going to nursery every day.


The nursery is led by experienced teachers who

are warm, loving, supportive and nurturing in all areas of development. We also get regular feedback on our son’s progress and conduct. Activities such as singing and story time have been very helpful in helping our son with his reading. There is also a strong emphasis on safeguarding matters and health and safety concerns which leave parents pleasantly reassured of their children’s physical and psychological well-beings.


The staffs are engaging, funny, approachable and are always ready to involve parents in how best to care for their offspring. They also offer individual activity plans for children based on their strengths and weaknesses.

Review from Nicola (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My children have been attending Starlings Nursery since it opened in January 2017.
The owner/manager runs a fantastic nursery, she is extremely well organised and the nursery staff are very happy to work there. This is reflected in their happy demeanor and the genuine care and encouragement that they
show the children.
The nursery is always set up with interesting activities which are changed often to keep the children engaged in learning about new topics and they are always bringing home art work and topical items that they have made.
The staff look after the children's hygiene very well and have given me a lot of support and ideas to help with behavioural issues and potty training.
Most importantly, my children are very happy to attend nursery and hardly even have time to say goodbye to me when I drop them off and they are always taking about all their friends and teachers at home.

My grandaughter has been attending this nursery since it opened in January. The nursery has a very warm feeling to it as the staff are very friendly and welcoming.
She has made lots of friends and I am totally confident in leaving her each morning.

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.
