Review from Roberta D (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending this nursery for almost two years and we could not be happier. Everybody is so great, caring and patient (with us parents too!) and I can see she looks forward to going to nursery in the morning and I feel serene in leaving her. All the staff takes the time to know every child. The nursery manager knows everything that goes on with a child and if there is a problem, she will present it in the most caring but resolute way. The food is great (lots of veggies), the spacious rooms are always clean and tidy and the children spend a lot of time outside in a big garden when weather allows. My daughter has learnt so much in these years - they do loads of activities and post about them on the app regularly. One thing I am particularly happy about is the fact that they regularly organize events for parents, becoming the centre of a community where you can meet other parents and have fun! Overall, we had an excellent experience and I would recommend this nursery 100%.

Overall Experience

Our daughter absolutely loves her time here (started at 10 months and is now 2 years) and the staff are really consistent, engaged and know the children well, some of them through the whole time they're there. The nursery is really well-run with personal touches, good communication and a nice number of events parents can come to. The policies are all sensible. Would really recommend!

Our son has been at this nursery since early in 2022. He has formed great bonds with the staff, who have always been attentive to him and communicative with us. The location is very handy, being near the station for commuting to work.

Review from Ben R (Father of Child) published on 28 December 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Brilliant staff. Both children are always delighted to be dropped off and sad to come home and disappointed not to be going in on a Saturday morning! They are kept busy all day with a great combination of group and individual play and all staff know who the kids are, regardless of what room they are usually in. The meals they have are always delicious, and the parties and events held regularly, are fantastic. I couldn't recommend more highly. The staff, in particular, are superb.

Overall Experience

I only have great things to say about this nursery. Our son was happy in the morning when we took him in, and that is what I needed to know. Staff are super friendly and very attentive. At every step of our experience there, we were pleased with the level of professionalism. I am moving now, and I just hope my son will be as happy as he was here. Five stars at all levels.

Review from Joelle B (Mother of Child) published on 20 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are extremely grateful to the team at Bright Horizons for providing such amazing care and support to our two boys. Our eldest is nearly four and has been at Bright Horizons Finsbury Park since he was one. And our youngest is 15 months and has attended nursery for four months now. Both boys seem to really enjoy going to nursery and have built wonderful relationships with the staff who work in their rooms. The team strikes a great balance between creating the space for plenty of play but also supporting their learning and development. I feel like the team genuinely cares about our kids and we (myself and my husband) feel like a part of the community there now - knowing most of the staff and when we can, attending the nursery events. The team and management have been a source of constant support and help throughout the past couple of Covid years and we are so grateful for all of the hard work and dedication through a difficult time.

Overall Experience

Bright Horizons Finsbury Park is an excellent nursery, it has very good staff who build great relationships with the children our elder daughter has been there since October 2018 and our youngest is just starting at 8 months of age. The nursery has a very friendly atmosphere and our daughter really enjoys going to nursery and comes home smiling every day. The opening hours are very convenient, communication with parents is very good and the children have fun doing lots of different activities. The nursery staff have been incredibly helpful during the extra pressures we have all felt through COVID.

Bright Horizons Nursery at Finsbury Park is an excellent nursery, we would highly recommend it.
Our son started in June 2020 at the age of 1 and has progressed brilliantly. He really enjoys going to nursery and comes home smiling every day.

In addition with the extra pressure of COVID (which has made things difficult in all aspects of life), the nursery staff have been incredibly helpful, ensuring safety at all times.

Overall Experience

We have two little boys at Bright Horizons in Finsbury Park, and we are delighted with it. Both boys run in each morning and love it there. It’s an airy and light purpose-built nursery with wonderful outside facilities. The manager is outstanding - as are her team. Our eldest is in the pre-school room, and he is thriving and being well prepared for the move to school next year. As one of the other parents once said to me at the gate “if only they could stay on here”.

Review from Ellie W (Mother of Child) published on 15 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter is more than happy to skip into preschool and see her friends and teachers each day. She feels safe and happy there, and that’s the main thing. I’ve also noticed a real step up in the learning focus now she’s in preschool, compared to in baby and toddler rooms where development is encouraged but little ones are allowed to spend most of the time playing, as they should of course. In preschool, it’s just that- still plenty of play, but also preparation for school with literacy and numeracy and also little projects like the solar system.

Extremely glad to have this manager since she’s always been kind, great with the kids, efficient and just brilliant at her job, so it was fantastic news to us that she was taking over that role. The other teachers are caring and make the children feel safe, each child has a key person, and they occasionally rotate so that the kids get the experience of different teachers too.

Review from Fernando T (Father of Child) published on 15 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When the initial Covid lockdown hit, Bright Horizons Finsbury Park was able to take care of my daughter at short notice (my other nursery closed, and being an essential worker household). The staff were truly fantastic at caring for her and giving us peace of mind that - even temporarily - our daughter was in excellent hands. I am certain that any child joining for either a short or long period will be very well looked after by staff who authentically cares for the children. I am very grateful to the staff at Finsbury Park and Bright Horizons for their support.

Review from Amy (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This is a wonderful daycare provider. My son, who is 18 months, is only leaving because we are moving out of the area. I know he will really miss the place. He’s just been here a few months but settled in so well. He smiles when we arrive and toddles in all by himself.
The staff are incredibly dedicated and caring. I chose this place because on my tour (pre lockdown) two toddlers came running up and hugged the staff member who was showing me around. There’s also a lovely little garden.
Not only is the care exceptional, but the level of feedback they provide is outstanding; we had daily reports and a thorough review, including photos, during our time. There’s also a weekly newsletter and regular competitions. We had an outside art exhibition too! All this despite lockdown!

The centre is run incredibly well by the manager and her deputy. 10/10 amazing.

Review from Isabel Z (Mother of Child) published on 6 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is a fantastic nursery. Our daughter loves going and tells us about what she has done there every day. The range of facilities is extremely good (outdoor space, food provided, play areas and toys). The nursery always looks clean and well maintained. They have been very efficient under the challenging covid crisis. The staff are lovely and really great with the kids. The activities are both fun and educational and you can really see this in our child's development (speech, table manners, sharing, imaginative play, counting, etc). They are good at engaging the parents too (pre-Covid) and several of us parents have run activities on a voluntary basis (dance class, pottery making, etc). There are also Xmas activities and other celebrations where parents get involved. We are very pleased with the nursery!
