  • Our Barnet Nursery has specially designed four bright learning rooms with your child’s best interests at heart, each tailored to one of our particular age groups of babies, pre-toddlers, toddlers and pre-school complete with carefully selected sophisticated resources, facilities and modern technology suited to encourage children’s exploration for plentiful learning opportunities. Each room has direct access to outdoor space allowing the free flow of learning and playing both indoors and out.

    • Milky Way Room: Under 2 years old

      A warm welcome to the Milky Way Room where we accommodate our babies and pre-toddlers from 6 months onwards. We have created a safe, nurturing and stimulating play area which is bright and spacious to welcome all our little ones as they move around safely in a clean and caring environment.  We have a cosy sensory area positioned just outside of the learning room, where babies can spend time in intimate groups with their Key Person in order to enhance their sensory development.

      Due to the age group in this room, your babies’ care routine can either be mirrored by their Key Person to synchronize what you give your baby at home including feeding, nappy changes and sleep routines, or, alternatively their Key Person can support and structure your babies’ routine to merge with the Nursery routine. A copy of the Nursery routine will be given to you during your first settling-in session.

      The daily routine is tailored around the babies’ individual needs and abilities to help support their growth and development. The younger babies’ have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities, planned to create a balance between stimulating discovery play and adult led opportunities such as music and singing, creative and creative play such as painting, sticking and cooking.

      Opportunities for exploring the outdoors are built into the daily routines with free-flow access to the attractively designed outdoor play area which incorporates a safe area for younger babies who can experience the natural world around them.  We also take regular walks to the beautiful Highland Gardens.

      As the babies develop and become more confident in exploration, they are provided with opportunities to participate in a wide range of exciting, educational activities. Free-Flow outside play forms a large part of their day where a wide range of toys and bespoke play equipment are available helping develop their balance, co-ordination and physical strength; there is an area for climbing and cruising as well as the freedom to express themselves. At this age, babies also begin to take an interest in books and nursery rhymes, we have a designated cosy area to encourage this.  Group activities are gradually introduced which helps develop the babies’ concentration and language skills. For example, the staff offer ‘Baby Sensory’ sessions twice per week in the Milky Way room, enabling your baby to experience a wide range of new emotions.  We work very closely with you as parents to help and encourage all of these new skills that the babies are learning. barnet nursery

    Since starting in May, my son has settled in really well to the Milky Way room. The staff are incredibly friendly and he has developed so much in such a small amount of time. I would definitely recommend BLS to friends & family.

    BLS Barnet is more than just a nursery – it’s a place where children thrive, families feel supported, and excellence is the standard. From the moment we had enrolled our son, we knew we had made the right choice.Their dedication to understanding and meeting the unique needs of premature babies and babies with health conditions is remarkable. BLS Barnet recently received the Prem Aware Award from The Smallest Things charity and have always gone above and beyond to create a nurturing environment where every child, regardless of their start in life, can thrive.But perhaps the most telling sign of the nursery’s success is the happiness of our son. Every day, he comes home with a smile on his face, eager to tell us about his adventures at nursery. It’s clear that he feels safe, loved, and valued, which is all any parent could ask for.We are immensely grateful for everything they do and wholeheartedly recommend them to any parent, looking for the best possible start for their child.read more

    Real island of Kind peopleI cannot express enough my appreciation for the BLS Barnet staff. The nursery has a special atmosphere to make everyone feels like at home . Of course, first of all it is a merit of the director. Karma is such a kind and warm heart person, that I can’t express, she helps me to take a right actions to live my daughter Nicole in better way for her and me as well, she advised to read “An Invisible line” in order to make my daughter staying in a nursery more comfortable. Karma as a managing director every time busy, in her office, but still found some time to ask and tell me how’s Nicole… I appreciate it a lot, and not only me.. all her staff (I heard) really say only good words about her, even a person which I met once , said, that the managing director is amazing woman and it is really so. It is nice that you can have a deal first of all with a Good human being . Ok that was my short first of all, but still is very important. Further I would like to say that the nursery is new, very clean, they allow parents to have a look at the kids for half an hour, to see how they are feeling, what they are doing, and it is very open communication from their side, because as I understood not all the nurseries does it. Even schools just sends fotos and reports. BLS has Good Ofsted report, but I know that next exception will be Outstanding, they have everything that has a private school, ok, small private school) uniform for kids who are preparing for the reception , they have math and phonics, Spanish twice per months, forest school once per week, I see how Nicole from a shy girl become confident , she started speaking , she likes to play , they have a lots of things to make children happy, all kids are very friendly , no one abuse others, everyone try to support Nicole, when she was upset about my leaving , and Nosif, is a key person, who played a big big role in her confidence. That was and that is her very best friend , with whom she feels safe. Nicole is quite a big girl , 3,5 )17 kg but first two settled sessions he just was holding her in his hands for 3 hours , hug her and trying to make a friend with her and his patience wins. Nosif if you read this review remember we love you a lot 🫶🏻 Melda, Camila thank you for helping my daughter settling in a new environment and make her happy. Sandra and Sarish who are Always support you in each question , every single day busy but pay attention and ask how’s Nicole today. As you see, it is all about people , all of them are with a big big heart, very friendly, positive and try to do their best, all of them on their place. I am so happy that Nicole has such foundation in a good environment beside good and warm hearted persons.What can be better for mum , feeling that her child in a safe place , developing with people who keeps their supporting hand every single minute🙏🏼P.S. sorry for the long story, but BLS Barnet deserves it ❤️Wish you all the best , keep doing what you do , you simply the Bestread more

    Bright Little Stars Stanmore is a perfect choice for the nursery for our daughter. She’s absolutely loving it there. Always so happy to leave home, knowing she’s going to be playing with her favourite teachers, Vilas, Paula, Jawaria. Also, many, many thanks to the Chef, Joanna, who found time to help my baby to settle in the first few weeks. The level of care and education is exceptional, by far has exceeded our expectations. We could not have chosen a better place for our little star! Thank you to everyone at BLS!read more

    Bright little stars is the place where every parent would love to keep his/her baby. We were worried when our daughter had to start the nursery, It is not easy for a parent leave their baby the first time with people that you don’t know yet, but at BLS you feel like at home, the staff took care of her and we felt in good hands from the first day.
    We have seen our daughter making a lots of progress from the day one, and she was always happy to be at the nursery.
    The members of the staff is always kind, they are friendly and caring. The place is a very nice environment, it is colourful and full of play with different learning areas.
    We loved the continues feedback and development growth report that we were given.
    We felt involved during Her days at the nursery, we knew exactly what she did during the day.
    We feel like we couldn’t find a better nursery for our daughter.
    We strongly recommend BLS!
