The staff at Starlings Nursery endeavour to work with parents to develop confident children who thrive and have every opportunity to reach their full potential.

Staff encourage, nurture and support children throughout their time at the nursery.

At Starlings Nursery, staff ask themselves, 'Would they want this for their own children or family members?' It’s a great question that guides practitioners and managers and ensures each child is at the centre of everything the nursery does.

We couldn't have asked for a better nursery for our daughter. The care of the staff has been outstanding, not just for her but for our whole family. There is such creativity and thoughtfulness in the variety of activities the children do and our daughter has learned so much. Staff are quick to notice
the personalities of the children and to tailor activities to them and we have been very grateful for how they prepared our daughter for school. We would have appreciated slightly more nursery-initiated updates, such as end-of-term reports but the staff are obviously very knowledgeable about the children and our daughter's key workers could give more detailed reports, updates and advice for the next steps when asked.

We are very happy with Starlings Nursery.
My first son attended from 2018-2020 and my second son is currently there. Can’t recommend it enough, one of the best ones in Barnet.
Staff are very friendly, kind, caring and helpful. My little one settled very well in a few days, and since that, he loves
to go to learn and do new things there. Always showing very proudly his paintings and other activities whatever he made.
They are also very supportive, my son started to eat a bit more fruit as well with their help. Thank you for the team, couldn’t be any happier.

So happy we picked this nursery for our son, the staff are so kind and caring! They have taken the time to build a genuine relationship and bond with him. In the beginning, he was unhappy going in but calmed down quickly, everyone always makes him feel safe and welcome and is more than happy to update
me on how he is.
I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone.

Starlings is an amazing nursery, in fact I feel it is one of the best in Barnet! Both managers are very experienced and organised in the running of the nursery, it is a very family friendly nursery where all the staff will nurture and support your child like their own. All three of my children attended
and enjoyed every day with their lead teachers! They keep you updated with weekly activities always learning something new and always have lots of fun with learning. We miss you all dearly and wish you every success with your future ahead. Thank you, Team.

Starlings Nursery is such a delight. Everybody there is extremely friendly and supportive. My daughter was very apprehensive at the beginning but, with the help of staff at Starlings Nursery, she absolutely loved going into nursery. I can't thank them enough for all they have done for my daughter. It's
clean and always so professional. Thank you again.

Excellent nursery. The staff is amazing. My daughter has been going to this nursery for two years and she would never change. When she started, she had a hard time joining, but with the patience of her teacher, she managed to do it very quickly. She goes every day with joy and happiness.

My son joined Starlings last year and found it hard to settle at first, but all the staff (especially one member of staff) has proved that every child will ease in slowly, and it is always possible when I had no hope.
My son brings home tons of drawings and activity papers he does daily. It is great
to see Starlings are constantly doing something new.
Everything my son has done in nursery he has raved about when coming home, and we are so pleased that we chose Starlings Nursery after trying many others previously, including well-known and high-end nurseries.
We are always greeted with a smile at the door
Communication with the staff and management is always delivered promptly, with one large room split into two and two outdoor spaces for children to enjoy is amazing. I can not thank all of the staff enough for giving my son the primary education every child should receive. If I could rate the nursery more than five stars, I would.

My daughter has been attending Starlings Nursery, and she loves it absolutely. She brings home unlimited amount of paintings and activities she has done during the day and loves to talk about it. Everyday there is a new activity or experience planned, and she seems to be really thriving from the variety.
The staff are very friendly and have great rapport with the children. All the needs of my daughter have been tendered for tremendously with patience and care. There is a significant improvement in her when I look at her now and when she started nursery. It is a positive and optimistic environment for children. She started writing her name and counting objects in a blink of an eye. She struggled with her shapes then; a personalised approach was set for her to understand them through an exciting and a fun way. She has learned them now.
If there was a choice to rate the nursery beyond five star, I would with no hesitance.

Amazing nursery. Our son settled in pretty much on the first day. He loves the staff - all of them are very caring - and has made tons of friends with the children in his group. Activities are well planned and appropriate for his age. We will def send our second there as well when the time comes.

My daughter comes home singing songs and performing dances she's learned at the nursery. She loves to count and loves to write her name. She is inquisitive about letters and numbers. This has all happened in the last year since she started at Starlings. She is happy to go there every morning and is
sad at the weekends when she cannot go. She also loves her teachers. The staff are friendly, welcoming and encouraging. The nursery communicates a great deal with parents and are always happy to accommodate any needs.

Amazing nursery. Kids go with smiles. Absolutely everyone is smiley, happy and helpful. Seeing loads of parents bringing their second siblings to nursery after 5-years just shows how good everyone is! Love it, and keep doing what you do!

This nursery worked really hard to settle my daughter in quickly when she joined in January and continues to make her feel welcome every day when she arrives. They provide a great range of activities and keep me updated regularly through informal chats and drop off and pick up and notifications on the
app. It is a great nursery, well run and with a really small family feel to it. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nurturing environment which allows their child to feel safe, make friends, have fun and develop their learning!

Thanks for your support me and my daughter
She has started to eat food and stopped breastfeeding.
She likes to go to the nursery, and she is excited to get ready in the morning, this is a good sign that means your nursery is her second home!

Starlings Nursery is the best nursery we could ever wish for.
My daughter attended this nursery since September 2021 until now. Unfortunately, we moved out of London, otherwise, I would love my daughter to stay in this nursery.
My daughter settled very quickly because the staff are so lovely and nurturing.
We will really miss all the staff, as they are just outstanding and very professional, and our daughter flourished into a happy, confident child who really enjoyed going to nursery.
The nurturing and loving environment that Starlings Nursery provides is exactly what you want for your child.
We will miss all the staff greatly!
I would give a million stars to this nursery if I could, (not only 5).

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.984)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.984) out of 10 for Starlings Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.984 for Starlings Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (122 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 124 Ratings = 4.984

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Starlings Nursery is based on 11 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
