The staff are lovely. My son enjoys going to the setting and we receive lots of photos and updates each day. I feel like the management has now improved and the activities seem appropriate for my child's age

My two grandchildren have attended New Barnet for over 2 years. Whenever I drop in they are always happy to go and see their friends and their favourite staff members! They both have thrived at Barnet and things like their speech have improved so much. We are so appreciative of the team and all the hard work they put in. If you like your children to get outside and experience lots of new things then New Barnet is the perfect place.

I can’t praise this nursery, the manager and the rest of the team enough for the care they provide for my son. We came upon this nursery and attended an open day because we were unhappy with our son’s previous nursery. We explained that changing nurseries for a 12-month baby would have to be as seamless as possible and that if we noticed anything concerning whatsoever that we would not hesitate in cancelling his enrolment and taster sessions. Our concern was knowing that our son was being given the individual attention he needed whilst also being encouraged to interact with the other children and toys etc to establish confidence and ultimately a happy little boy. We need not have worried. My little man has been going to the nursery for approx 6 months now and everything from his confidence and happiness, to his eating habits and speech have continuously improved. I just wish we had found this place sooner!

We haven't officially started yet but have had 3 weeks of settling in days. The staff were always very responsive in the lead-up and flexible in offering the support my daughter needed before she started. We are excited to see what happens when my daughter starts full time.

Head Start has helped my son's transition run smoothly, he loves all the staff at Head Start and comes in with a smile as well as leaving with one. Head Start are an outstanding nursery who make children's happiness their number one priority.

We have had such a positive experience with the team here at Head Start. My daughter loves coming to nursery and always talks about her friends and the staff. Would highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

I'm very happy with Head Start Barnet. My son really enjoys coming and seems to be developing really well. Excellent facilities and caring staff - I've no hesitation in recommending the nursery.

My son has been with Head Start for over 3 years and has had the best experience you could ever want for your preschooler. His confidence and social skills have all been expanded through his interactions at nursery. The staff are brilliant and will be sorely missed when he leaves for school.

We've been so happy with how our son has settled into the nursery. He's been here now for a year and absolutely loves it. We can't recommend the staff enough - they are lovely and the nursery has such a family feel.

Lovely staff in a caring and homely environment. We are very pleased with how our children are growing and developing new skills.

My two children are both at Head Start Barnet. They have recently had a refurbishment of the garden and they have said they are going to do a lot more which is great. My children are extremely happy, my son is thriving in the baby room and I am very happy with the new management so far.

Our son is very happy here. His key workers seem attentive and have formed a strong relationship with him. They have pushed forward his learning in all the key academic areas such as math and language, as well as socially. The staff have helped come up with plans to work on behaviour problems when they occur, which has really worked to help him grow kinder and gentler. Their communication about what he's learning is regular, thorough and he loves sitting down at the end of the day to see the photos they've taken. I'd strongly recommend Head Start Day Nursery Barnet.

I have had three children attend Head Start Day Nursery Barnet for the last seven years, having looked at competing nurseries in the Barnet area, I am happy to have selected Head Start Day Nursery Barnet. The staff are great and at the end of the day that is what matters, so you know that your children are being well looked after, fed and entertained. Meaning that when you pick them up they are shattered but happy at the end of the day. You can always find a place with more rooms, purpose built or with a bigger garden. However, Head Start Day Nursery Barnet use the space they have effectively and they have crucially key people that care and care passionately about child care. As a parent you know when your child is happy and I have no hesitation in recommending Head Start Day Nursery Barnet to anyone looking.

Having put my older son, now seven through Head Start Day Nursery Barnet and I am still so happy with the care and education that my daughter receives! All the staff are always smiling and welcoming, no question is too big! Both my children loved going there and learnt so much socially to prepare them for school! Being a key worker, I found the nursery extremely supportive to me and my child through both lockdowns. I felt assured my child was safe continuously, a lovely nursery and great first step!
