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.

Having worked in Early Years' settings for over 20 years, I cannot recommend Starlings highly enough. My daughter attended in 2017, and my son is currently there. He loves his friends, teachers and all the activities and proudly shows me all the work he brings home.
The staff have been so supportive
during a difficult time and ensured my son had continued love and care in their setting. His key worker has been outstanding, and I love receiving the almost daily updates on the app. My son looks forward to going each day and has learned so much. I'm sure everything he has learned is from nursery as he won't do it at home and suddenly is beginning to read and write! The communication is excellent, and nothing is too much trouble for them. We shall miss them immensely when he leaves for big school in the summer.

Fantastic nursery. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. My daughter's teachers are very nurturing. I felt so relaxed knowing she was in great hands. One of the teachers is amazing and so sweet, you can see how much she loves the child. Another teacher is fantastic too; she is informative and
offered great advice to my daughter, who suffered from constipation. My daughter loves being love being there. I was referred by my sister-in-law, who had nothing but positive things to say. I even recommended the nursery to my friend, whose daughter now attends. The manager is very helpful too!

We highly recommend Starlings Nursery. My daughter loves it there, she's been attending since she was 2, and she can’t wait to go to nursery every day. I am so happy as a parent to send my child there, the staff are all very kind and sweet towards the kids. My daughter's key workers are amazing. Lots
of fun activities to do, and we can see all her work online.
Overall, Starlings is an amazing nursery, and I am so happy we chose this setting for my child.

We absolutely love Starlings! They have been amazing at helping my little girl get settled as she is quite clingy and nervous in new social situations. The staff have been so caring and lovely. Special mention to two ladies who have looked after her so well and understood her personality and how to
encourage and challenge her. We have loved seeing our little girl develop and grow in her interests during her time at Starlings, and we also know that she is being so well looked after. Thank you!

We highly recommend Starlings; it is a fantastic nursery! The staff are so caring and friendly, and the atmosphere of the nursery is great. It is well run, all the activities are very well planned and shared with parents daily via the app, which is always lovely to see. Our son loves going to nursery,
his development has progressed significantly during his time at Starlings, and that's a credit to the staff and key workers who have all been incredible.


We couldn't be happier with our choice, and we look forward to our daughter joining Starlings soon.

Starlings Nursery is a brilliant nursery! My daughter has been attending for the past 2.5 years, and I have absolutely no doubt that it is the best place for her pre-school learning. The staff are exceptional... they are extremely caring and make the children feel loved. A special mention to my daughter's
key worker. She is extremely patient, friendly and a good teacher. As a result, my daughter has tremendously grown in confidence and is quite ready for primary school. I feel relaxed that my child is safe and secure in this environment. The nursery has a wide range of learning tools and resources. The outdoor space is also well-equipped and children enjoy playing there. Children have great learning activities, and parents are updated on their progress through the app. Cleanliness is given utmost importance here. The nursery is well-managed and has only grown from strength to strength over the past few years. Last but not the least, the nursery offers immense value for money.

A fabulous nursery! The staff are extremely caring and approachable. Our child has thrived there and made wonderful progress, and the support and care he has received are bespoke for his specific needs. The staff are proactive and keen to work in partnership with parents and nursery/home communication
has been excellent - both through the daily logs on the app to informal chats at the end of the day and also phone calls when needed. The team also work really well with outside agencies and are quick to spot any potential SEN needs of a child - with their prompt action, our child’s needs have been investigated quickly and targeted and appropriate supports have been put in place that is regularly reviewed. This is an amazing nursery, and any child would be lucky to go there - we are only sad our child will soon be leaving for primary school! Thank you so much to the manager and the team!

Starlings Nursery is amazing. My child has been going here for two years now, and I am extremely happy with his educational progress and growth.
He started when he was two years old, and the staff, especially his key teacher, made sure he settled in really quick and well. He loves going to this setting
and learns something new every session.
The team, teachers and management are all very dedicated and caring. We are always kept fully up to date with everything. I am so grateful we picked up this nursery. I highly recommend this setting.

We highly recommend Starlings Nursery. I have had 2 children attending the nursery over the last 5-years, I do not have a single complaint. The whole atmosphere of the place is a positive one, which is built by professional and friendly staff. Both my children have loved their time at the nursery, and
I believe set them on the right path for school. The nursery is well run and has a lot of facilities including outdoor space for the kids to use. All the daily activities are very well planned, and we can see that on the app with photos and videos and comments. Starlings is truly an amazing nursery with lots of wonderful and exciting learning opportunities!
We couldn't have found a better setting for our kids.

Extremely pleased. Very happy with everything so far. Lovely team and very good and caring teachers. The best nursery in Barnet. My daughter moved here from a different nursery and we are so glad that we made that decision. She loves coming here and has made some good friends. Love seeing all the things
she does on the parents' app. Thank you.

Absolutely love this nursery all three of my children have attended and currently attend this placement.
From the birth of my first daughter, I knew this was the nursery and staff I wanted my children to be with.
They are super efficient in keeping parents up to date on daily and weekly activities
and always ensure my girls come home with a smile on their face.
When your children run to their teachers without turning back for a cuddle you know it's the perfect place where they feel safe and happy.

The management and staff are what make this nursery extremely special. They are professional, dedicated and most of all caring and patient. My daughter is extremely happy in the setting and I am extremely happy with her progress both academically and socially. She is in a safe, nurturing environment
with excellent teachers and resources.
The staff communicate frequently through Tapestry and in person.
I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to others and will be enrolling my second child when she is old enough to attend.

I have been incredibly impressed by the care shown by the staff of Starlings. My son started in Sep 2019 and although he loved the nursery, he didn't like saying goodbye at drop-off. The staff went out of their way to help him settle in. I felt very confident leaving him, knowing that they would show
him love and affection, and he would have a wonderfully happy morning and learn in a calm, structured way. He comes home full of joy about his friends and what he's learnt. The staff are very easy to deal with and communication between the nursery and parents is excellent, in my experience. I have already recommended Starlings to two friends, who are planning to send their children from September.

In my opinion Starlings Nursery is the best choice for parents and their kids. My daughter started to attend this nursery since September 2019 and I am extremely likely to recommend it. Firstly, my daughter is not a native English speaker and the staff did everything to help her feel comfortable and
they never had a problem with communication. Secondly, they are always friendly, patient and do their job with pleasure. I love to see how they play and learn together. What is more, kids have lots of interesting activities, they are never bored and they share a time to play and learn. My daughter loves to go there, she speaks English better and better, she knows lots of songs and rhymes, she can count, she recognizes and writes letters (even her name without my help), she knows a lot of interesting facts and lots more! And she is well behaved now! :) thank you Starlings Nursery Staff!

The best nursery with amazing staff! Our older son was attending the nursery in the past, he loved it and still talks about it. Now our younger one started his learning journey here. We are more than happy, this is the best place that we can wish for our child, they have lots of great activities, and
have much fun while they learn.
The staff are so friendly, caring and clearly enjoy their job. They are also very supportive when attempting difficult stages. And they always greet you at the door with a smile! We love everything about this nursery.

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.
