East Barnet Day Nursery and Preschool

Welcome to East Barnet Day Nursery and Preschool. Set in a beautiful character building close to Oak Hill Park, our qualified and enthusiastic nursery team are dedicated to the care and early education of all children aged 3 months to 5 years.

With longer opening hours from 7:30am to 6:30pm and an onsite buggy park, we’re here to support busy families. Conveniently located near Arnos Grove and Southgate stations, and close to Monkfrith Primary School, our nursery is perfectly placed for your daily routine.

At Bright Horizons, everything we do is guided by our Nurture Approach – a unique, child-centred philosophy designed to create a safe, supportive environment for your child to learn and grow. Our Bright Beginnings Curriculum combines hands-on learning and essential life skills with a strong emphasis on emotional wellbeing, confidence, and curiosity. It’s all about helping children thrive, in big school and in life.

Your baby will love spending fun-filled days in our cosy baby room, which has been thoughtfully designed for children aged 3 to 18 months and features a range of sensory resources, as well as a milk kitchen and a separate sleeping room.

Our engaging toddler room is for little ones aged 18 month to 2 years 6 months. It is bright and colourful and has so much for your child to explore, from comfy reading corners to low-level toys and activities.

In our rising toddlers' room, children aged 2 years 6 months to 3 years 6 months are supported as they discover their independence. Activities are planned around their individual interests, and key skills such as toilet training are encouraged.

Preschoolers, led by our qualified preschool teacher, children build confidence and essential skills through our Ready for School programme, which brings structure and focus to maths, reading, writing and other essential skills they need to get ready for school.

Each age group enjoys free-flow access to their own garden space, with a wide range of outdoor learning opportunities. The garden is divided into age-specific areas, ensuring your child always has the best resources to support their development. From racing tracks and a vegetable garden to climbing equipment and play trays, there is so much for every child to enjoy.

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.

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