Barnes nurseries/childcare

Hello, we are expecting to move to Barnes/west putney imminently, and will have a toddler and a baby. Does anyone have experience of the nurseries (especially Bright Horizons) in Barnes? Our eldest is in a very kind, non-chain nursery at the moment and I'm finding it difficult to work out what our best option would be after the move. Nannies also potentially, but trickier to find and I like the idea of there being many pairs of eyes on them, until I'm in the area and can get to know the local nannies through groups/classes.

Many thanks for any and all advice!

I'm in a similar situation - 3.5 year old and a 9 month old and moving to Barnes in the next month. We didn't plan to move so quickly, so I'm scrambling to find suitable childcare in the area. I'm also curious to know if anyone has experience with the Barnes Bright Horizons nursery? Or other options?

@mdk316 I moved to Mortlake recently and chose Bright Horizon at the Quentin Hogg Memorial ground. I never visited the Barnes one as they didn’t have full time places available then. I also visited the Kew Bright Horizon. Appreciate they might be too far away from you but happy to share any insight, just let me know! I also visited a few other local nursery’s so happy to share my thoughts or compare any notes if it would help :) I know it’s a big decision!

I can recommend Beehive nursery in st Margaret's church on Putney Park Lane. It's not for working parents though due to limited hours.
