Bright Little Stars Barnet Wins NDNA Family Engagement Award 2026

We are delighted to announce that our Barnet nursery has been named the winner of the NDNA Family Engagement Award 2026.

This prestigious national award recognises excellence in building strong, positive partnerships with families and celebrating the vital role parents and carers play in children’s learning and development.

Being shortlisted was already a tremendous achievement for our team. To now be recognised as the winner is an incredible honour and a testament to the dedication, passion and commitment shown by our staff every day.

At our nursery, family engagement is more than a programme or initiative – it is at the heart of everything we do. We work closely with families to ensure children receive consistent support, encouragement and opportunities to thrive both at home and within the nursery environment.

Karma, Nursery Manager, said:

“We are incredibly honoured to receive this award. It reflects our belief that strong family partnerships are at the heart of exceptional early years education. This recognition belongs not only to our dedicated team but also to our wonderful families, whose trust, support and involvement help create the nurturing environment where children can truly thrive. Together, we are shaping the very best outcomes for every child.”

We would like to thank the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) for this recognition, as well as our wonderful children, families and staff whose support and collaboration have made this achievement possible.

Together, we continue to create a nurturing, inclusive and inspiring environment where every child can flourish.
