My daughter has been attending Bright Little Stars Barnet since March 2021 and she absolutely loves it, and rarely wants to leave! The staff are friendly, caring and reliable and the facilities are excellent. They have extracurricular activities throughout the week which my daughter loves, and we get
a lot of feedback on her progression. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

This has been a great nursery for my daughter! They have really helped a lot with her speech and language development over the last few months. She is now more confident and able to communicate a lot better. The facilities in her room are great, and she has a lot of fun learning new things every day,
and talking about her day-to-day activities with us.

I don't normally leave reviews but I know how helpful they can be when looking for the right setting for your child. My daughter has been at Bright Little Stars since it opened and we have been so happy with the care, the teaching, general ethos, facilities and activities. This is a really incredible
nursery. The staff are all absolutely lovely, kind and caring. There are lots of extracurricular activities offered for the kids in the preschool room including forest school, yoga, mindfulness, Spanish...it sets them up amazingly for reception. Everything is delivered in a way that puts the kids having fun at the centre of it. Bright Little Stars is a really lovely setting - I don't know anyone who is less than happy with it!!

It can be daunting leaving your child in a nursery and difficult to find the right one. Our daughter has been at Bright Little Stars since opening and we could not be happier with the nursery. The staff are warm and friendly and always greet us with a smile. We find out about the children’s day from
thorough updates and receive excellent advice. The facilities are incredible and it is maintained to a high standard.
Our daughter is always excited to get through the doors she has developed so much since being here. It is a safe and secure environment and could not recommend enough.

My 2-year-old has been going to Bright Little Stars in Barnet since January. He absolutely loves it and looks forward to going in each day. The facilities are great as it is all brand new and has lots of space. He is engaged constantly throughout all the various fun learning activities. The staff are
amazing and have a nurturing manner with the children. They also give feedback at the end of each day.
I would definitely recommend Bright Little Stars!

At first, I was nervous about leaving my daughter at a nursery but when I had a look around and saw how welcoming, clean and friendly Bright Little Stars Barnet was, I was put at ease straight away.
It is a state-of-the-art nursery, with so many fun things for babies and toddlers/young children to
get involved in. The staff seem very enthusiastic and encourage the children throughout the day. The children seem to enjoy their time there and my daughter seems so confident and smart, which I think is wonderful!

Our 2-year-old son joined Bright Little Stars in January 2021.
He absolutely loves the nursery and has grown in confidence in such a short space of time. The team are very friendly and supportive of his learning and most notably we have seen a significant improvement in his speech. The facilities are
spotless. We highly recommend.

My one and three year old children both go to the nursery and absolutely love it. My one year old was born in lockdown and didn't have much experience with other people but the nursery have been excellent in making her feel comfortable and happy. She is like a different child now. The facilities are
excellent, clean and spacious. The menu is great, the kids eat better than I do! The children are constantly supported in their learning and as parents, we get regular feedback on their progression. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this nursery.

My daughter started at Bright Little Stars Barnet in January. I signed up as soon as they publicised they were opening and have not looked back. It is a state of the art nursery - every small detail has been considered for staff and children.
Though we drop my daughter off every morning we still feel
involved in her life and play by nursery CCTV provisions and regular updates on their parent portal. She has come on leaps and bounds in the last month alone. The staff are so attentive and I feel reassured leaving my daughter with them.
We have strict dietary requirements and the nursery has also catered to this fully.


I especially cannot recommend the staff in the Orion room enough.

I am so glad that I chose Bright Little Stars for my daughter.
We researched a number of nurseries and even tried a couple in Barnet but none were satisfactory.
However, Bright Little Stars Barnet, has been the right fit from day one. My daughter has loved every minute. She’s always eager to go
to nursery and has thrived so well there.
I am grateful to all the staff at Bright Little Stars for the excellent work they do especially in these tough times. All the staff are so lovely and caring and they make you and your child feel special.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Bright Little Stars Barnet, where my two and a half year old son started when it opened back in November 2020. The staff have been consistently friendly, attentive and caring despite the challenging environment within which they are operating. They demonstrate
professionalism at all times and provide useful summaries of how each day has gone. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to parents looking for a fun environment for their children to develop in. They have a secure outdoor play area at the back and a weekly food menu that encourages the children to try new things. The Bright Little Stars website is very informative and the CCTV style ‘nursery cam’ enables you to check in to see how your little one is doing.

My son has attended Bright Little Stars since they have opened. The staff are fantastic - friendly, caring and attentive. I feel secure in the knowledge knowing he is safe by being able to check in on him at any point in the day via the nursery webcam.
He absolutely loves his day at nursery and has
developed so much over the last few months. He is always happy when I pick him up. I couldn't think of a better nursery to send him to.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.515)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.515) out of 10 for Bright Little Stars Barnet 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 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 4.903 for Bright Little Stars Barnet is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.903

  • 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 4.612 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Little Stars Barnet is based on 12 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 98 number of registered child places is 19.6. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.6 = 0.612

  • 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.
