A SPACIOUS AND INSPIRING NURSERY IN BARNES

You and your child will love Barnes Day Nursery and Preschool, designed to support your child’s development from the age of 3 months to 5 years. The experienced and nurturing staff guide exciting learning activities to help your little one reach their full potential.

The purpose-built nursery rooms feature age-appropriate play and learning resources. The baby room has plenty of engaging sensory toys, a safe environment for exploring, and benefits from a separate sleep room, milk kitchen and nappy-changing room. The toddler room is full of new adventures, where children find their feet and begin building their independence. Painting, loose parts play, construction and messy play are all on the agenda as they learn how to navigate the world.

Preschoolers enjoy discovering new passions and interests as they gain the skills needed to progress to school. The Ready for School programme helps to develop their early maths and literacy skills, while encouraging them to pursue their creative side through Creative Cooks, Growing Artists and Growing Gardeners.

Barnes nursery has a small library area, which doubles as a quiet space to enjoy a book and, at other times, a music room to explore sound and rhythm with instruments.
Outside, they have two large gardens, split into a baby garden and a toddler and preschool space. There are trees, a covered seating area, a little bridge and space for tricycles and balance toys.

The Nursery offers all-inclusive fees, with all meals, snacks, nappies and wipes included – meaning you’ve got less to pack on a busy morning! All of the delicious food is freshly cooked every day by their own onsite chef.

Staff would love to meet you and your child, so book a visit and they will show you all their nursery has to offer during your own personal tour.

Marie

Job Title: Nursery Manager

My Name is Marie, I have been working at Bright Horizons for over 13 years and I am the Nursery Manager at Bright Horizons Barnes Day Nursery and Preschool.

During this time I obtained my CACHE Level 3 Diploma Certificate for the Children and Young People’s Workforce.

I began my childcare journey working as a nursery assistant and throughout the years I have progressed through the roles of Nursery Nurse, Room Leader, Third in Charge, Deputy Manager and I am now a Nursery Manager.

This has allowed me to obtain a wealth of knowledge and experience during these roles so that I can support staff in providing inclusive play and learning opportunities for all children attending the nursery and maintain a stimulating and enjoyable environment to ensure every child has the best possible start in their educational life.

Daniella

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Hello, I'm Daniella, the Deputy Manager at Barnes Bright Horizons since September 2023. With over 13 years in childcare, I started as an apprentice and later qualified as a level 3 practitioner. After spending 4 years at a nursery, I advanced to a management role in a larger company in Lincoln, gaining over 4 years of managerial experience.

My expertise includes working with SEND children, and I'm passionate about development. Now, at Bright Horizons, I've taken on the role of SENCO lead alongside my third in charge. Witnessing the growth of both children and staff has been a rewarding part of my journey.

Having recently moved to London, I'm thrilled to contribute to the Barnes team. Excited for the future, I look forward to continuing my journey at Bright Horizons.

Aoife

Job Title: Third in Charge

Hello, I am Aoife, the Third in Charge.

I have had a passion for early years for many years, but this was deepened during my BA Hons in Early Childhood Education.

As a Playworker for children with SEND, I applied research skills and decided to pursue an MA in Inclusive Education: SEND and Disability.

Simultaneously, I worked across nurseries, supporting children's growth. Witnessing milestones became a keen interest, leading me to become the Toddler Room Leader at Barnes Day Nursery. Building on this experience, I advanced to Third in Charge, where I provided support to both the Baby and Toddler rooms. This journey has allowed me to deepen my understanding and actively contribute to the well-rounded development of the nursery.
