A child born in the UK to FOREIGN nationals on or after 1/1/1983 is NOT British by right. They are the nationality of the parents. If the parents are not married then - unless documentation to the contary is produced - they will be considered to be the same nationality as the mother. However a child born after 1/1/83 is entitled to apply for British citizenship once they have been resident for 10 years, or 5 if the parents are British Overseas Territorities Citizens.

Sorry to say but no. It's not like America where if a pregnant women crawled across the border while giving birth the child gets to be a citizen.
My mother is English (my father American) and I was born in the UK and it was hard enough for even me to get british citizenship.
Though if you have a british birth certificate and since Barbados is part of the commonwealth you might be able to find an easier route to getting residency, and then citizenship than some.

No - Britain unlike other countries do not give nationality to the children of foreign parents born in the UK.
