Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with The Hyde. It's a wonderful nursery with such caring and dedicated staff. Both my daughter and son attended Hyde and the care they received has been incredible. They have brilliant facilities including outdoor space and they plan engaging activities across the day, including
trips. The staff go above and beyond to make every day fun and exciting. I would highly recommend this nursery!

Hyde Nursery Barnet has been a fantastic choice for our child! The staff are knowledgeable, nurturing, and truly caring. The environment is cheerful and welcoming, with a well-rounded curriculum that mixes play and learning perfectly. The communication with parents is great, keeping us involved with
our child’s daily activities and progress. We feel secure knowing our child is growing in confidence and skills in such a supportive setting. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a nurturing place for their child’s early learning.

We have had our little one there for 7 months since he was 7 months old. He is absolutely thriving. The facilities are wonderful and the staff are super friendly and caring. Our son beams with joy every day going in and seems super relaxed there. Would certainly recommend.

It's so important to have a nursery that you can trust and communicate with. At Hyde above all, they were willing to listen and support. I would like to see the nursery build up, not only for them but firstly for the local community. It's so important to have nurseries that you can trust.

Review from Katie C (Mother of Child) published on 20 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started in the Hyde's baby room at the start of this month (December 2023). From the beginning of his settling in, which began two weeks before, the team at the Hyde have been brilliant. They were all incredibly reassuring and patient and ensured my son had all the extra attention and comfort
he needed to become fully comfortable in the setting. In just the first few weeks, his confidence has grown so much thanks to the room team's encouragement and approach, and seeing the amazing daily updates - complete with a rundown of all activities and lots of brilliant pictures - shows just how much he's enjoying himself and learning.
I've been really impressed by the team's attitude and passion; they bring 100% to every day, and that's so beneficial for the babies (and parents). Choosing a nursery for your little one is a minefield with so many things to consider, but I'm so happy we picked the Hyde.

Review from A C (Father of Child) published on 4 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter joined The Hyde in January 2023 when she was 11 months old. She loves the nursery and the staff and is excited to go every morning, we don't get a look in once she has entered the nursery in the morning. The staff have managed to get her to do things we have struggled with such as doing
her hair and she has developed so much. The babies have a fun-packed day full of different activities and different forms of play. The nursery keeps us up to date on the activities, what she has eaten and when she has slept. We couldn’t ask for any more for our daughter.


We would certainly recommend it. Our thanks go to the Manager and her team for their continued hard work and for looking after our daughter.

Our baby girl joined The Hyde in January 2023 when she was nearly 11 months old. She absolutely loves going to the nursery. The staff are brilliant with the babies and keep them safe and entertained all day long. They do a range of activities each day and provide parents with lots of pictures which
is lovely to see. It is a lovely environment and we’re really happy we chose The Hyde for our baby. We would certainly recommend it. Our thanks go to the Manager and her team.

Review from L C (Mother of Child) published on 8 December 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having a child with additional needs means I was always apprehensive about where I left him, but every day I drop him off without a single worry, knowing how caring and supportive The Hyde is. It's my son's home from home. The staff genuinely listen to me, to make sure he receives the same care at the
nursery that he does at home. The staff are all making such a huge difference in my autistic son's development. At drop off, staff always seem so happy to see the children, it's obvious to me how much they care. It makes me feel at ease, and so happy to know that the nursery are putting in place the recommendations from SENDCO. No ask is too much. I cannot recommend The Hyde highly enough, the manager is the kindest and most supportive childcare professional I have come across.

My daughter started at Hyde Nursery in September. I can honestly say that she loves going there and every morning she claps and smiles when we get to the door. Every week they plan lots of activities, including baby sensory classes, trips to the park and much more. The team have been great and I'm sure
she will continue to thrive there for years to come.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.704)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.704) out of 10 for The Hyde Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.778 for The Hyde Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.778
  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 3.926 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Hyde Nursery is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 92 number of registered child places is 18.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.4 = 0.326
  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.
