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.

From Day1 Starlings Nursery has impressed me and completely surpassed my expectations. A totally professional outfit, I still can't believe they pack away everything every day! They are consistent to the letter, and I always feel updated at all times through the Tapestry app. They do the cutest activities
and my son (who did not settle at his first nursery at all) enjoys every single day he has been there (which is 18 months now!) and has come on leaps and bounds in developments. The whole team at Starlings do such a fantastic job and I cannot recommend them highly enough. It is not often you come across a place like this!

Amazing nursery and staff - was recommended by a friend and I loved there on my first visit, immediately decided to send my boy here when he just turned two. I visited a couple of nurseries but only Starlings stands out. Especially thanks to my boy’s keyworker - she’s an extremely kind and nice person
who cares about your child like her own. She always updates me not only on my child’s day to day activities but also his developments in a certain period, she also provides me with some recommendations and follow-up activities that I can do at home. Really appreciate! Definitely recommend to any parent who is looking for an outstanding nursery.

Amazing nursery and amazing staff. After trying to settle my son at a previous nursery and failing, I thought he wouldn't settle anywhere. However, with the support of the staff, he settled after only a couple of sessions. The staff make him feel safe and give him the reassurance and encouragement he
needs. He has now been there a year and has progressed far more than I expected. He enjoys going to nursery every day and has a great relationship with every member of staff. There is lots of space in the nursery with lots of different activities and aspects of learning. I am so glad I found Starlings and couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. The level of care shown to my two-year-old daughter has been impeccable. There is a lovely balance of learning and play given to her here and lots of hugs from the staff when needed too, which is so important at this young age. I saw lots of nurseries
before Starlings and without doubt, I'm so glad I found this one. It's far cleaner than others that I saw and the staff have a natural warmth and tenderness with the children that I didn't see elsewhere. Well done Starlings Nursery!

This nursery is one of the best nurseries out there.
I love everything about the nursery, all the teachers are great.
Every single worker who works at Starling Nursery is amazing and works really hard!
Couldn’t ask for a better team to look after the child. Every single staff member is so kind
and friendly. It’s the best nursery I’ve ever come across.
My daughter is coming up to 3 years old and she loves her nursery, especially her teacher (key worker), she adores seeing her and works so well with my little girl.
I seriously recommend this nursery to anyone.
The best service you can get.

Staff are very kind and understanding. My daughter progressed a lot in all her areas of development since attending nursery. They use a lot of advanced methods in their teaching and interacting with children. They are always giving us feedback and cooperate. Management team are very professional, understanding
and competent. Environment is safe, happy and welcoming. My daughter is always looking forward to going to nursery and has a loving relationship with her teachers and peers. Definitely recommend this nursery.

The staff at Starlings Nursery are fantastic. They really take care of our son. He is delayed and has been getting better as he has one on one sessions with staff who are teaching him. Since he has been going, his speech has improved and he responds and is willing to learn more as they have a great
approach to teaching him. He loves the staff and enjoys playing and leaving there. If you're looking for a nursery in New Barnet, look no further and try and get your child in Starlings.

Could not recommend this nursery highly enough.
The amazing staff have been brilliant with my son.
He has loved every minute.
The most positive start a child can get, from the beginning of his nursery education to the very end. The team of teachers are nurturing and treat every child with respect
and individuality, dependant on the child's personality. I urge any parent to just see the nursery and how the staff work, to agree that it is a great place for any child to learn through play.

My daughter has attended this nursery since it opened, however, she had been in the care of 4 of the staff for about 2 years at a previous nursery.
She is now only days away from going to "big school" and the thought is quite daunting.
The staff here are in a league of their own. When you see your
child showing affection towards a teacher like they would a family member or friend it tells you a lot and instils trust that your child is in safe hands.
There is continuous interaction and updates on the progress made. There is always artwork that she brings home to show and different subjects to vary her learning experience.
My daughter has been assisted in all aspects of early learning like potty training, drawing etc, counting, reading and interacting with others.
I believe my daughter has been given the best opportunity to now move on to reception class.
It is a safe, clean and friendly place. My daughter loves going here to see her friends and teachers, as well as to learn.
Thank you all.

To say that I am extremely happy with this nursery is an understatement, there are no words to describe how wonderful this place is. The nursery setting is great but its the staff that make this place amazing. They are the most amazing team of individuals. The nursery manager has been my rock in a long
process of getting my son diagnosed with autism, she has gone above and beyond her duties to help me and my son. My son is very challenging and the staff know exactly how to deal with him when he gets difficult. He absolutely loves going to nursery and there is no better feeling than leaving your child at nursery and knowing he is happy and genuinely loved by the staff. I highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter started to go to Starlings after she was not happy anymore at her previous nursery. Her friend's mum, who used to attend the same nursery, recommended Starlings, and I am so so happy I listened to her, that every time I meet her I thank her for this.
My daughter loves it so much, every
Saturday morning (too) she wants to go there. Her development has improved enormously, she is a happy bunny now, doesn't mind she is the first child in every morning, as I have to rush to work, or the last one to be picked up.
She keeps improving at everything at high speed, she is a very confident girl, again, a happy girl with a smile on all the time, just what I want to see. :)
I am ever so grateful for this nursery, I can not recommend highly enough to everyone.
Thank you again Starlings 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.
