Bright Little Stars Nursery in Barnet opened in November 2020 and is situated on a quiet residential road opposite beautiful green space near High Barnet Town Centre. They believe that it takes a big heart to shape little minds. Their passionate staff team pride themselves in creating a warm & loving atmosphere.

The high spec nursery features a newly renovated purpose-built, gated property over three floors with four modern & bright learning rooms specifically tailored to each age group. The learning rooms have dual air conditioning/heating, modern interactive LCD computer screens & high-quality resources to ensure children have the best care & learning facilities.

Large, bespoke outdoor play areas have been carefully designed with all areas of learning considered. They include a tranquil sensory garden and a custom-made playground activity centre for climbing, creative and imaginative play which balances freedom with safety. In addition, sheltered areas give each room direct access to the outdoors.

Bright Little Stars also offer a unique Learning Programme that nurtures a love of learning by bringing play & teaching together into the curriculum. Prime areas feature phonics & literacy, mathematics, science & botany, culture & geography, ICT, expressive arts and home learning. They even provide a wide variety of extra-curricular clubs at no extra cost. The nursery is committed to providing healthy and wholesome food freshly prepared by their onsite chefs and designed by a nutritionist.

The nursery has strong partnerships with parents and provides a secure app to share daily activities and learning progression for each child, as well as a ParentCam for parents to ‘drop in’ via a secure webcam facility at any time. Their Head of Teaching and School Relationships supports parents when it is time to think about sending children to school by building relationships with schools and holding Parent Workshops.

Review from Greg H (Father of Child) published on 8 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have nothing but positive things to say about Bright Little Stars Barnet, where my two and a half year old son started when it opened back in November 2020. The staff have been consistently friendly, attentive and caring despite the challenging environment within which they are operating. They demonstrate
professionalism at all times and provide useful summaries of how each day has gone. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to parents looking for a fun environment for their children to develop in. They have a secure outdoor play area at the back and a weekly food menu that encourages the children to try new things. The Bright Little Stars website is very informative and the CCTV style ‘nursery cam’ enables you to check in to see how your little one is doing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Bright Little Stars since they have opened. The staff are fantastic - friendly, caring and attentive. I feel secure in the knowledge knowing he is safe by being able to check in on him at any point in the day via the nursery webcam.
He absolutely loves his day at nursery and has
developed so much over the last few months. He is always happy when I pick him up. I couldn't think of a better nursery to send him to.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.712)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.712) out of 10 for Bright Little Stars Barnet is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 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 4.896 for Bright Little Stars Barnet is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.896
  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 4.816 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Little Stars Barnet is based on 16 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 98 number of registered child places is 19.6. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.6 = 0.816
  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.
