Both my sons are at MSDN Barnes, and we have now experienced all the rooms from baby through to pre-school, and could not be happier with the setting. The staff are so caring, and really get to know the children they are looking after. We've also had a lot of continuity of staff. The activities they organise are really creative and help the children learn and get involved. There's a good variety of external activities provided too, and it's great that the children get taken out on an outing every day. Communication with management is easy. They've created a lovely community.
My daughter has attended My Sunshine Day nursery in Barnes for the past 15 months since she turned 1. We feel very lucky to have such a lovely Nursery close to our home. The staff genuinely care for the kids & treat them like their own. They support us as parents often whether it be sleep advice or how to teach our child something such as potty training. The daily activities they organise are well thought out & genuinely help our daughter develop. We also love that they take the kids out almost every day.
My daughter has a dairy allergy which they have been brilliant with & their communication through the app with parents is brilliant. They log throughout the day her food, nappy changes, sleep & outings as well as post a daily message saying what they did during the day with roughly 60 photos.
We wouldn't
hesitate to recommend my sunshine nursery to any parents.
One thing we've especially loved is the daily trips and outdoor activities. The children get lots of fresh air, exercise. There's always a great mix of activities that encourage creativity and learning. The nursery also brings in external providers to run extra classes and activities, which our children have really enjoyed. These have added even more variety and excitement to their nursery experience. Communication from both management and teachers has always been excellent and they've always been flexible and helpful. We'd recommend My Sunshine to other families.
My Sunshine Barnes has been a brilliant nursery and pre school experience for both our boys. They have thrived and developed so well under the care of all the staff who are always so warm and friendly. The kids love the activities they do whilst at My sunshine and they have a good range of external classes too such as French and Hartbeeps and Theatre Bugs. I would not hesitate to recommend My sunshine to anyone - we are just sad our Pre school journey is soon coming to an end and will miss everyone lots!
This is an exceptional nursery. My son has been there from 6 months - 4 years and to the very end ran inside every day when I dropped him off in the morning. The staff take genuine care to develop the child's education. We couldn't have been happier to have found this nursery and would have no hesitation in recommending it. We looked around a number of nurseries and this was a cut above the rest.
Thanks it has been a pleasure looking after and having part of you all at MSDN. Harriet
Our 3.5yo son has been going to My Sunshine Barnes since September 2025 and he absolutely loves it. We feel so lucky to have found this nursery. Although it's on the more expensive end of the scale, we feel that the level of care and attention shown for him is exemplary. One of the best things about the nursery is that, though the children are in separate rooms depending on their stage of development, the rooms mix with each other on outings meaning that they have a variety of friends as well as no fear about moving to another room when the time comes which can otherwise be quite stressful. The staff are all brilliant and seem to genuinely care, making themselves available when necessary to discuss any concerns. They give daily updates and photos on activities. The pre-school room has a great balance of fun and learning, with a focus on independence, autonomy, and accountability. The food is varied and nutritious, and they get lots of fresh air everyday too. Highly recommend MSDSBarnes
Thank you for your message, we love having you as part of our community x
My Sunshine Barnes is our local nursery. Our daughter has joined when she was 1 years old and has now been with the nursery for a 1.5years. My Sunshine feels like a big part of the local community and I love that many of my neighbours take their children there. The management team is always available to address any concerns and I have always had quick responses to any questions. The service element is definitely at a high standard and am confident in the care provided to my child. Very pleased to have chosen this nursery for our daughter.
We couldn't be happier with My Sunshine Day Nursery (Barnes). Across the past five years, our daughter and son have been expertly cared for by the whole team. The management and communication is excellent and we always know that the children will come out smiling after another fun day with their friends and key workers. The food provided by the chef is wonderful and varied and the teams take the children out for plenty of fresh air and exercise every day. Would highly recommend this nursery.
They are smart about using the space they have and always to ensure the kids spent time outside. A range of activities & structured days. They even have a chef!
My 1.5 year old son goes to the nursery and has progressed so much since starting there at 8 months. His language is exploding and he has such good dexterity, which I really credit to the nursery. He is loved by his teachers and they pay such close attention to him, I'm thrilled with how he is thriving in such a safe environment. The only reason I would take a star off for facilities is they don't really have their own outdoor space however they take my kid to the park every day and on adventures which I think is even better honestly.
I could not rate this nursery more highly. Our son is in the nursery room and I was nervous before joining but he absolutely loves it. The team are so caring and supportive for his development. Although the space is small, they make great use of it and go on daily outings. I also enjoy the picture updates and so do the grandparents!
Our Daughter has now been at My Sunshine Barnes for 18months, she is extremely happy there. We really trust the team with her well being and development. The team are not only supportive to the child but the parents as well, always forthcoming with helpful, none judgemental advice when new milestones are approaching. We receive regular feedback on her development and daily updates on the fun she is having. We are very happy at My Sunshine.
My sunshine day nursery in Barnes have taken fantastic care of our son over the last 7 months or so. Initially I was very anxious about not having him at home with me but the team at MSDN made the transition as smooth and comforting for myself and my son as possible, with additional settling in where needed and excellent communication during settling in. We can see from the daily pictures the great range of activities our son gets involved in there and we have seen is development increase rapidly, from walking to talking. Whilst they don't a large amount of outdoor space, I can verify that they go outside every day which has been great for our outdoorsy son. They are so caring, as well as when we see them outside of nursery days. Thank you to the MSDN team!
Our experience at My Sunshine has been extremely positive. Our child looks forward to nursery each day, and has made some wonderful bonds with the friendly staff members and other children. The children go outside for fresh air every morning, and come back to a variety of excellent activities put on by the creative staff. We're kept closely updated throughout the day via the app and with staff at the end of the day. We couldn't recommend it more highly as a nursery!
Our daughter has been attending My Sunshine for nearly two years now, and we couldn't be happier with our choice.
The environment is bright, engaging, and always feels like a safe, warm space for the children to explore. But what truly sets this nursery apart is the staff. They are incredibly dedicated, professional, and genuinely caring. It's clear they know my daughter's personality inside out and celebrate her milestones just as much as we do.
She absolutely loves her time there and often runs in with a huge smile in the mornings. Seeing her grow in confidence and come home full of stories about her day gives us such peace of mind. I highly recommend My Sunshine to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating start for their child.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we love having you as part of our MSDN Family x
My Sunshine has been a wonderful and happy place for our son. He came here from another nursery and we have been nothing but impressed by the quality and attention to detail. It feels like a caring place full of love but also good at recording the day to day so parents are in the loop. Daily outings really break up the day for the kids and keep things different. The creativity and themes are wonderful. Generally nothing but positive words. Thank you for making our entry into the childcare system a wonderful experience and we look forward to sending our next bundle to you too!
My Sunshine Nursery has been a wonderful experience for our son. The staff are incredibly caring and kind, as well as being fun and providing the children with a huge range of activities. The staff take the time to get to know each child and their family and adapt the activities based on the child's needs and interests. Our son has really developed socially since starting at nursery and loves going. We are so happy we chose my sunshine nursery!
I sent both of my children from the age of one to My Sunshine day nursery and would highly recommend. The staff are all absolutely fantastic and the level of care provided is extremely high. The nursery provide lots of different activities for the kids and my children loved their time there.
Would never consider sending my children anywhere else. All of the staff clearly care a great deal about all of the children, from management to the chef, they know every child by name and always take the time to update at the end of the day. My eldest has been in pre-school for a year and my youngest will be starting pre-school in September 2025. The preparation for starting school has been amazing. The children are regularly taken on trips to the local library and playground, they have French lessons once a week as well as music lessons and sporty minis. My daughter has loved her time here and I'm sad that it's coming to an end.
We love this nursery for our son. It's a great experience for him and wouldn't change a thing. The staff are really lovely as well definitely recommended. My son is a lot more confident and has learnt a lot from this nursery.
