If ‘foo’ and ‘bar.foo’ are separate zones on the same name server, you need 
SOA+NS in ‘bar.foo' *and* NS in ‘foo'. Without DNSSEC, you can get away without 
NS in ‘foo', but as soon as ‘foo’ is DNSSEC signed, you need the NS records so 
that DNSSEC can do an (in)secure proof on the delegation.

Kind regards,
