A caring and warm atmosphere at our Sawbridgeworth nursery

Welcome to Bright Horizons Asquith Barley Barn Sawbridgeworth Day Nursery. Where we welcome children from 3 months to 5 years old in a beautiful Grade II listed country house where we provide high-quality care, education and lots of fun.

Children will enjoy exploring our unique building, which includes a converted stable annex and an age-appropriate modular classroom filled with age-appropriate toys and learning materials.

With our long-standing staff, you can feel confident that your child will receive the nurturing he or she needs. As they transition from nursery to school, preschool children enjoy having their own dedicated space in the annex and a qualified preschool teacher.

Our Nurture Approach, designed by Early Years specialists, gives your child the strongest foundation for school and beyond. Rooted in the EYFS curriculum, it blends enriching, wellbeing-focused activities with a personalised touch to support every stage of your child’s development. Through our unique Growing Enhancements, children build confidence and curiosity across key subjects like maths, reading, writing, science, and art—helping them feel ready and excited for their next steps.

When it comes to outdoor play, your child will be spoiled for choice with not one, but two beautiful gardens, allowing them to enjoy outdoor learning and an age-appropriate curriculum every day; and while your child is busy exploring and having fun, we can keep you updated via our Family app. Available for all Bright Horizons parents, this will keep you connected with your child's day-to-day experiences and up to date as they develop during their time with us.

Our varied menu will ensure your child’s tummy will be full and happy thanks to the delicious, healthy meals prepared onsite by our own chef and to take the pressure off your already busy day, our Sawbridgeworth nursery includes essentials such as meals, snacks, wipes, nappies, nappy cream, sun cream, and formula in our fees.

We also offer Settling in Sessions tailored to suit you and your family. Please ask our Nursery Manager for more information.

Come see everything we have to offer by booking a personal tour.

Nursery Fee Calculator

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working, or you get discounts from your workplace.

Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.

When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.

Estimate your fees

Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.

In the meantime, if you need some answers or to book a nursery visit, then please call us on 01279 216 370, our friendly team is here to help.

"My daughter has learned so much in the past 6 months and I am sure this is mainly because of how much care and focus goes into her day to day activities. My daughter is very happy here and although it’s hard leaving her I feel secure knowing she is well cared for."
M E, Parent
"We have used Barley Barn since 2020 for our daughter and now our 20-month-old attends in the nursery room. They have both had great experiences there, forming strong relationships with room staff. Food choice and volume has been excellent."
