Activities are wide and varied.
The staff seem caring and attentive.
My daughter has been very happy at the nursery and made some lovely friends. Staff are very caring. I would definitely recommend this nursery.
My son has really enjoyed his time in this nursery. The staff are always enthusiastic when they see him and they have taken care of him the best they can. We like the special events that the nursery organises, where parents can attend and see the children play with each other. The food menus are great and he usually eats really well there. One of the downsides as part of a chain is that there seems to be quite a high staff turnover, the integrated carers helped my son transition easily enough though.
My son attended the nursery full time for three years, from when he was a year old. We have watched him grow into a strong, confident and happy child during this time and remain very grateful to this nursery for nurturing care that he has received. He has made great friends and developed social skills and is outgoing as a person as a result. His complex allergy needs have been meticulously attended to. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.
It is an excellent facility, which is extremely well managed and with very caring and friendly staff. The place is bright, very clean and ideally located. Every day there are some new activities ready for the children. My son is very happy there and he loves the food, with the chef making particular effort to please the kids' tastes. The nursery is not cheap but similar in price to comparable nurseries. I would highly recommend it.
My son loves going there. Very lovely and caring staff. Lots of toys and activities to keep him occupied.
My daughter loves her time at nursery. The staff are lovely and she is very happy here.
Lovely caring staff
Staff are always friendly and helped with settling in my child.

Meet the Team (2)
Sarah began her journey with Bright Horizons North Finchley in 2009, working part-time as a lunch cover and supporting children of all ages across the nursery. It wasn’t long before she was promoted to a full-time Nursery Nurse in the 2–3’s room.
At the time, she had recently completed her Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education and was eager to apply her newly acquired skills and knowledge in a real-world setting.
After a year and a half, she stepped into her first leadership role in the Rising 3’s room, where she led a team of three staff. From there, she progressed quickly, taking on the roles of Third in Charge and later Deputy Manager.
Over her 15 years at North Finchley, she also served as the SENCO, which allowed her to work closely with staff, parents, and external professionals to ensure every child received the best possible start in life.
In March 2025, she was proud to be promoted to Nursery Manager at Bright Horizons Highbury. She looks forward to working in partnership with the children, families, and team to support each child's development and to begin this exciting new chapter together.
Humairaa is the Deputy Manager of Bright Horizons Highbury.
She joined Bright Horizons in 2018 as a nursery nurse and gradually worked her way up. In 2021, she was promoted to Deputy Manager, allowing her to support and lead the team at Highbury.
She holds a Level 3 qualification in Childcare and Education, as well as a Bachelor's degree in Early Years - Education & Leadership in Practice (L6). Her career in early years education began in 2011, and she now has over 10 years of experience working in various settings.
Passionate about creating a safe and nurturing environment, she ensures that all children have the opportunity to thrive and learn through play. She enjoys developing new skills to support both staff and children in reaching their full potential.
With a high-spirited and enthusiastic approach, she brings energy and positivity to both the children and the team. She finds it incredibly rewarding to make a positive impact and build strong partnerships with parents.
