My daughter has been at the nursery for 18 months and absolutely loves it. Her development during this time has been incredible and I can’t thank the staff enough for the excellent support she has received during what has been a very difficult year for our family.


All of the staff take time to get

to know your child and are always on hand to let you know what they have been doing. I know that my daughter is in safe hands when I take her to nursery and she is very happy there.

Happy with the progress our child has made so far. Just feel like a bit more proactive teaching required as the current learning exercises are sufficient for the child development.

My son loves coming to Jungles and can't wait to get stuck in and be independent. He always comes home grubby, happy and full of stories of the things he's done. He loves his key person here and talks a lot about what he had done with her and the other people in his room.

My son has been at the nursery for nearly two and a half years now. We are very happy with the care he has received. All the staff are extremely friendly and he has settled in well. He has always formed strong bonds with his key workers, which has been very reassuring. The nursery has been very supportive
of his potty training and each time he has transitioned to a new room.

Our child has grown so much since starting at this nursery. He adores his key workers and the staff in his room who care for him. We are so pleased we made this choice and never doubt that his individuality and personality are embraced. The team go above and beyond our expectations and are incredibly
supportive to us as parents.

I love the friendly atmosphere of the nursery and how each colleague is so warm and welcoming to myself, partner and son. My boy has learnt so much already from attending Bright Horizons and loves going to nursery. I think it's more down to the staff that he loves it so much.
I can't fault the staff
and find them to be very attentive.

Very happy with the East Barnet Bright Horizon Nursery. The staff are very friendly and caring. My son has been at this nursery for over a year now and he loves it! He has made great connections with the staff and seems very comfortable when there. I have seen great progress in his development - he's
been involved in a lot of activities and always encouraged to explore.

I am delighted with the nursery and my wife and I are looking forward to sending our younger son to the same nursery. The team are very dedicated and passionate about the welfare of the children. The feedback session with our son's key worker is a great reminder of how much care and attention the team
have for his education and development.

The staff here are amazing. They are all so caring and warm. My two-year-old son settled really well at Bright Horizons East Barnet, and I believe that's in large part due to the welcoming environment they work hard to foster here. They go the extra mile to make sure the children feel safe, nurtured,
and secure. My husband and I are very happy we chose this nursery for our son!

The team run a great nursery, both our girls have always felt safe and happy. The team always provided excellent feedback from the day's activities and made a fuss of the kids regardless of what mood they may have been in at breakfast. Keep up the good work

Both my children have attended the nursery since she was 9 months and have had the most wonderful experience. They are happy to go in each morning and excited to see the staff and their friends. They come home full of stories about their adventures and the delicious food they have eaten. The staff are
so warm and friendly and my children have learnt so much from being at this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.899)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.899) out of 10 for Bright Horizons East Barnet Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.911 for Bright Horizons East Barnet Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (186 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.911

  • b) 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 4.988 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons East Barnet Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.988

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
