Our son started nursery in April when he was 5.5 months old. So he was very young, and this was also just as everything was coming out of lockdowns. Despite these difficult circumstances the staff made us feel welcome and our son settled in quickly. Over the past months we have started the weaning...
We would highly recommend this nursery and thank the staff for all their hard work.

We have found the staff to be very helpful, my daughter has enjoyed going to nursery and speaks fondly of her key workers and other staff members. The team is quick to respond to queries and also deals with any concerns seriously. My daughter very much enjoys the outdoor space and playing with her friends. She has settled very well.
This has been a brilliant nursery for our son. He was moved to it because his previous one closed during the first lockdown and we decided to keep him here because he was enjoying it so much. The manager, one member of staff in particular and the team run it superbly. Our son has made great...
This has been a brilliant nursery for our son. He was moved to it because his previous one closed during the first lockdown and we decided to keep him here because he was enjoying it so much. The manager, one member of staff in particular and the team run it superbly. Our son has made great friends, completed loads of activities and enjoyed the excellent facilities, including the enormous back garden. We thoroughly recommend it.
We are very happy with the nursery and our son loves going there. Kids have a really good environment and the outdoor area is definitely the best I have seen locally. The programme and the variety of learning and activities is balanced really well. We feel relaxed and we trust the team who looks...
We are very happy with the nursery and our son loves going there. Kids have a really good environment and the outdoor area is definitely the best I have seen locally. The programme and the variety of learning and activities is balanced really well. We feel relaxed and we trust the team who looks always happy and positive. Our communication with management and staff has been excellent so far. It’s a great place for kids and we are planning to send our second son there soon. Overall we would definitely highly recommend this nursery.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery since last September and although it took her a while to settle, she does now absolutely love it. We recently had a tour of the nursery which was not only really well presented but also I was very pleased to see the whole setup. Having seen a number of nurseries prior to selecting this one it really stands out. It’s very spacious, lots of light, great selection of activities and a huge garden. Our daughter has really grown in confidence since attending. The daily reports are great as well. All her teachers and helpers are very friendly and provide good updates when we go at pick up. Thoroughly recommend this nursery.
Our daughter started the nursery last September, during the challenging time of Covid. As first-time parents, we were nervous as our daughter had experienced limited opportunity to socialise, so was very shy around new people. The nursery did an excellent job at reassuring us of any concerns we had...
All the staff at the nursery are friendly and very nurturing to individual child’s needs and have done an excellent job at supporting our daughter in a new environment. At the end of each day, we are provided with a handover sheet, which details the range of activities that are focused on learning and development. We have seen an increase in our daughter's skills and confidence as a result, and she especially enjoys the daily garden time. Would highly recommend this nursery.
The team are very friendly, professional and attentive. Almost every day the children go to play in the garden, which has been helpful for the child's wellbeing and improving her skills, especially during the lockdown. This cannot be underestimated. Each...
If we have any queries, the team are very responsive and will do their best to accommodate.
Overall, we're very happy with the nursery.
So happy with this nursery, my daughter has been going since she was 1 (she is now 3) and my son (1) started in October this year. The staff in each of the rooms are so lovely and the kids have formed bonds with all the staff, not just their key workers. The variety of activities and the amazing...
My kids are really happy there and love going.
They have a few different rooms where children are organised by age, a kitchen (our child loves healthy food!) and a spacious garden...
Thank you for all you’ve been doing!
I and my wife are very happy, especially with two of her teachers and managers; they are very friendly and professional. Even my daughter is very happy with her nursery, and she always likes to go and play with her friends. One more time, I want to say thank you.

Both of our sons have been to this nursery. We are extremely happy with the culture and facilities. The atmosphere is supportive and friendly. We moved our sone from another nursery to this one it was the right decision.

Our son enjoyed his stay with Active Learning Finchley (London) for the past 2 years. moving onto school. He is still missing his teachers here. It was such a relief for us when he first joined Active Learning Finchley (London). The convenience in open hours means we can drop him early and do not get delayed to go to work, especially with his food allergy. He was carefully looked after by the nursery so we could focus on our work rather than worrying too much about his food preparation etc. All the activities in the nursery encouraged him to think and behave happily and independently. We couldn't be happier with our son staying with Active Learning Finchley (London).

My children have attended Active Learning Finchley (London) since 2012 and I could not have wished for greater care for my children. The love, support and encouragement they have given the children has meant that my daughter has grown into a confident six-year-old and my son has become an inquisitive young man. I could not have found a better nursery for my children's preschool years.

My daughter started attending this nursery from the age of 9 months. As a first time mother, I was nervous about returning to work. However, from the moment she started to settle in all my worries were gone and she has been totally happy there ever since. The staff are all dedicated, professional and committed to the children's learning and well-being. The handover at the end of the day is extremely personalised- my daughter's key worker always knows the little things that make her who she is. She has already learnt so much there and I'm excited to see her continue to flourish there.
The staff are great.

My son has a wonderful time at nursery. Most recently he has watched ducklings hatch from eggs. He comes home from nursery telling me all their names and that they are growing. He is always telling me what he has learnt. He especially enjoys his art lessons. He was very proud of the pictures he took and now knows hoe to operate our camera at home. He has extended this at home and wants to do this all the time. When he started he was very shy, but with each room all the nursery nurses have been very supportive with all areas of development. I am extremely happy with Active Learning and would highly recommend to friends and family.
I love this nursery. My child is so happy she runs in through the door and starts her day. She especially enjoys sessions where she gets to do something practical like sports or playing drump.

I love this nursery. My child is so happy she runs in through the door and starts her day. She especially enjoys sessions where she gets to do something practical like sports or playing drump. She has loved watching the ducklings grow. The manager sent out daily newsletters so we could talk about it at home. At the moment she is enjoying letters, the children are doing phonics and she comes home singing songs which I am told are helping her learn sounds. The staff from the baby room up have all been wonderful and she bonded with her key person in each room well. Love this nursery.
