Finkley Weeke Nursery and Pre-School
from G D (Mother of Child) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son started attending this nursery in September 2025 and settled in incredibly well. Initially, I was so worried as he hadn't liked his previous setting, but within few weeks, he began going in with a big smile on his face. He's formed strong attachments with the team members and feels safe and comfortable

spending three full days there. The team is wonderful, kind and caring, always greeting us with a smile and positive attitude, which I greatly admire. Their communication is excellent and they are great on organising special trips and activities away from the nursery. Nothing is ever a problem, and they work hard to bring the best in our children.
I feel fortunate to have chosen Finkley Week Nursery for my child.

Reply from Vanessa Slatcher, Manager at Finkley Weeke Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you for this amazing review, I'm so glad your child has settled in so well and formed amazing attachments with the team!

from K D (Mother of Child) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Such a fantastic nursery. The day trips out, local walks, endless activities, communicative and caring staff.
All the staff are so happy, friendly and caring, they consistantly go above and beyond what could ever expect.

Truly over the moon with our experiences with Finkley weeke. Not only do they

care about the children when in their care but they equally care and want to help and make transitions at home better too. When my eldest struggled with going into nursery (absolutely happy when in the setting) mornings were tough, a staff member took it upon herself and made a chart to show where she will be each day with photos of doors and ever since then mornings have miraculously been much better just by giving her that visual aid of what to expect that week.
Their key worker takes such an interest in both of our childrens interests, taking that time to truly know them and their very different personalities. Helping with things they may struggle with or need extra time exploring.

Reply from Vanessa Slatcher, Manager at Finkley Weeke Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you so much for this lovely review! It's been amazing to see how both your little ones have settled in and how much fun they have!

Review of
Finkley Down Farm Nursery & Pre-school Andover
from Emilia C (Mother of Child) published on 14 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Outstanding Nursery With Endless Activities!!

All three of my children have attended this nursery, and I couldn't be happier with the experience they've had. From day one, they were welcomed with warmth, patience, and genuine enthusiasm from the staff. Each of my kids settled in quickly and always

came home happy.

What really sets this nursery is the variety of activities they offer every single day. Whether it's creative arts, outdoor play, sensory exploration, farm trips, etc the list goes on. My children were constantly learning, discovering, and having fun - and it showed in their happiness.

The team here truly understands how to nurture children as individuals. They communicate well and create an environment where kids feel safe and comfortable .

I'm incredibly grateful for the positive impact Finkley Down Farm Nursery has had on all three of my little ones. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a place where their child will thrive.

Reply from Kirsty Caswell, Nursery Manager at Finkley Down Farm Nursery & Pre-school AndoverThank you so much for this lovely review Emilia. It really captures everything our practitioners strive to achieve for the children in our care. Hearing that all three of your children settled so well, enjoyed the wide variety of activities, and came home happy means the world to our whole team. Your kind words are a wonderful reminder of why we do what we do, and we're incredibly grateful for your trust and support. Thank you for being part of our nursery family.

Finkley East Anton Nursery and Pre-School
from Jack B (Father of Child) published on 7 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We cannot speak highly enough of this nursery. From the very beginning, the care, warmth, and dedication shown by the staff made such a positive impact on our child's happiness and development. The environment is nurturing, stimulating, and genuinely feels like a second home.

When we moved to a new

area outside of andover, we enrolled our child in a different nursery, but it quickly became clear just how special East Anton truly is and it didn't take long for us to decide to return, even though it means a longer commute.

The journey is absolutely worth it for the peace of mind we have knowing our child is receiving such outstanding care every day. We are so grateful to the wonderful team and would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a truly exceptional setting.

Reply from Tanisha Taylor, Deputy Manager at Finkley East Anton Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you so much for your wonderful review! We pride ourselves in ensuring that the children have the best start! We are truly glad you came back to the Finkley Family :)

from Louise T (Mother of Child) published on 20 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My 3 year old twins have been at this setting for the past year and have simply thrived and flourished within their care. They are happy going into and coming out of nursery which is simply the best. This is all down to the genuine care, fostering of relationships and nurturing environment created by

staff members- thank you!
I have always been amazed by the abundance of activities and themed weeks staff plan, promoting all areas of development. No two days are the same! The outside environment, day trips and links with the community were main attractions for us, and it's really helped to develop our children's sense of curiosity of the world!
Another positive element is the exceptional communication. We are regularly updated with observations and photos of our children's progress which is a highlight as a parent.
Thank you to Vanessa and the team for continuing to take care of our two! We honestly couldn't recommend Finkley Weeke enough!

Reply from Vanessa Slatcher, Manager at Finkley Weeke Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you so much fir your amazing review and kind words! It makes us so proud to know that you are so happy with the care that we provide. Thank you!

Polite friendly staff who take the time to understand the child's needs, in terms of educational nurture, ways of learning with an emotional balance. They fully embraced my child in a smooth transition between nurseries, developmentally I have been impressed by the efforts, planning, ideas for learning,

fun and safe environment whilst being able to grow as a child. My son loves his nursery and his key worker is amazing with him, she cares about the children's which goes a long way.

from P S (Mother of Child) published on 22 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our 12 month old has been attending the nursery 4 days a week for about 6 weeks now. He has settled in well and he now smiles and reaches his arms out to the staff for drop off. He's full of smiles when he leaves as well. We get lots of updates throughout the day with photos of all the activities. The

environment not only supports social interaction, but we have seen he's motor skills and problem solving skills starting to soar. They have a dedicated babies garden and do trips out in their buggy. I had planned at home all sorts of activities to help with milestones, however I find that Finkley is already doing most of them day to day with him, which means I can spend my days with him on outings and my mental load reduced.
They did a MacMillan coffee morning at the end of the first month which was good timing for me as a nursery new parent as I got to meet other parents and have a chat.

Reply from Vanessa Slatcher, Manager at Finkley Weeke Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you so much for your amazing review, it is lovely to read how much your son has loved the nursery and how quickly he settled in building close relationships with all the team! Thank you!

I can not praise the entire team enough for their work!
As first time parents, the amount of communication, help, advice and support from day one has been above and beyond! Nothing is ever too much for them and they make it so easy to approach them with anything including ideas for activities and progression

at home.
Their commitment and support has truly had an amazing impact on our child's development and we couldn't be happier with their placement at Finkley East Anton.
Each and every team member are just incredible and we would highly recommend the placement! Worth every penny!
Thanks guys! Keep being amazing

from Ellen B (Mother of Child) published on 19 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter moved to Finkley Hudsons field after being at a different nursery for 9 months which unfortunately she didn't settle in. I can honestly say from day 1 at Finkley (5 months ago) that she has been settled & I have been at ease with the entire settling process. The staff are incredible and

empathetic & have been so understanding and attentive to not only my daughter's needs but mine as a parent. I cannot recommend Finkley enough & the range of activities/trips the children do is just brilliant.

Thank you to all the staff at Finkley for keeping my daughter safe, happy & settled at all times!

Reply from Meghan White, Manager at Finkley Hudson's Field NurseryThank you so much for your lovely review! It has been a pleasure getting to know your little one and supporting them and your family with their settling in period. We are really happy to read your positive feedback about the nursery. We look forward to continuing this journey with you.

Finkley Weeke Nursery and Pre-School
from Elaine G (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter has just graduated from pre school. She has been at Finkley Weeke for 2 years. My daughter has thrived at Finkley Weeke. I loved the setting when I first saw it, since outdoor space and access to nature is very important to me, so the large garden was a big plus. The staff are engaged, caring

and imaginative and i have always been impressed with the range and variety of activities they have planned for the children. I also loved that they regularly took them into the community - visiting a local care home, going to the shop, walks, visits to the farm etc. Key workers create genuine bonds with their children, and they provide excellent daily updates and regular reports and "Wow" moments.
This was an excellent pre school for my inquisitive, confident, funny, caring little girl and they have helped me raise her to be more than ready for school in the autumn. I am very thankful for the love they gave her every day.

Reply from Vanessa Slatcher, Manager at Finkley Weeke Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you so much for this incredible review! We have loved having your daughter with us so pleased that you were so happy with the nursery and team. Thank you!

from Rebecca L (Mother of Child) published on 10 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I can't laud enough praise on Finkley Weeke. Our daughter was one of the first babies in the baby room, but you wouldn't know it. From the off, we have been impressed with the activities, outdoor space, food and communication. Parents vote on a new theme every two weeks and the team are so imaginative

when it comes to making up activities. Even when our daughter couldn't walk, she was enjoying tuff trays for the "colour" theme and making pizza for "around the world" theme. Every day, someone sends a roundup of what each room has been up to, with photos. It's so nice to see what all the children have been up to, especially when your child is too young to tell you them self. We have experience of another local nursery, where our daughter would arrive and leave crying, and we had no idea what she'd been up to all day. She goes into Finkley happily and is having fun in all the photos. This is thanks to the amazing team, particularly Manager and Baby-Lead.Thank you!

Reply from Vanessa Slatcher, Manager at Finkley Weeke Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you so much for this amazing review! It's fantastic to hear that you are so happy with the baby room and that your daughter has settled in so well! She absolutely loves her days here and gets stuck in exploring all the activities! Thank you again!

Absolutely love Finkley nursery. The staff are fantastic and engaging with the kids. Drop off and pick up and really well managed and take the stress out of it. They go on regular trips out and provide lots of photos through the app. Our kids both moved there a few months ago and things couldn't have

gone better. They have a good outside space with sheltered areas for when the sun is too much. Would thoroughly recommend it to anyone, our kids love it!
