My only qualm would be that the baby room does not have a seperate sleep room and babies play and sleep in the same area. Which means if your baby is a light sleeper the transition period is going be long and always have an overtired baby. This is more of a ratio/space issue that head office were not able to solve and thus we took our youngest somewhere else but will most definitely bring her back when she's two and can go to the toddler room (where there is a seperate sleep room and play room).
Also, the garden is small. Our daughter doesn't mind but I imagine if you have very active children that need to run around loads, it might be a problem.
Love this nursery so much!
Thank you for your kind words about our staff and the nursery! We're so pleased to hear that you've had such a positive experience and that you feel your children are well cared for.We appreciate your feedback regarding the baby room sleep arrangements and space. Our team works hard to create a...
Another fantastic feature is their book corner. My daughter is captivated by it and spends a lot of time there, fostering her love for reading at an early age.
Overall, me and my husband couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend this nursery to other parents.
Thank you so much for this heartfelt review! It's truly wonderful to hear how welcome and supported you've felt at our nursery. Our team works hard to create a warm and friendly atmosphere for both children and parents alike. We're thrilled your daughter loves our book corner! Knowing she's...
Having moved to Little Garden Nursery after a really terrible previous nursery experience, Little Garden was the best choice we could possibly make for our twins. The staff are incredible, patient, experienced and trustworthy. They made every day a true delight for our boys and we couldn't possibly be happier with their overall experience. The team help boost the children's confidence every day and has such a warm and caring ethos. Little Day is without a doubt the best nursery around! 10/10.
Wow, your review gave us all the warm fuzzies thank you! We're so delighted that Little Garden Nursery has been such a positive experience for your twins after your previous challenges. Knowing that every day felt like a delight and that we could help boost their confidence makes everything we do...
Our little one has really enjoyed her time at The Finchley Day Nursery. The staff have been great since day one, always friendly and smiling. The nursery enriches the usual activities with a weekly class of drama and one of French. I was so amazed when our daughter came home and started counting to 10 in French!
Merci beaucoup for your lovely words! We're over the moon to hear how much your little one enjoys her time at The Finchley Day Nursery. Seeing her counting to 10 in French must have been such a proud parent moment-what a star! We love enriching our activities with drama and French to inspire...
My son used to go to this nursery and he was absolutely happy. Now my daughter is attending there. The staff are really friendly, the teachers are amazing and treat children with warmth and care. We have experience in 3 different nurseries. This nursery for us is the best.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your son was absolutely happy during his time at our nursery, and we're delighted to welcome your daughter now.
We are extremely happy with the way the nursery has nurtured her and excited her every day.
Their guidance and help with potty training was exceptional and she was potty trained so quickly thanks to their assistance.
The staff are all very loving, experienced, knowledgeable and caring meeting the needs of both the children and the parents. She has so much enjoyment and finds the day very fulfilling. We particularly love the children experiencing all festivities and celebrations and the multinational flags outside the nursery giving a global international vibe. The nursery has beautiful rooms and equipment and an outside play area which is safe and engaging.
Absolutely happy with our choice!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear about your positive experience with our nursery. It's lovely to know that your daughter has been well-nurtured and that you're happy with the care, guidance, and facilities we provide.
The nursery offers a safe, engaging environment for my son. The staff are professional and genuinely caring, fostering a love for learning in the kids. The nursery maintains high standards of cleanliness and safety, providing nutritious meals suitable for all diets. Communication is a strong point, with regular, informative updates about our child's progress. It’s a great place for children to grow and develop essential skills in a supportive setting.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that your son is thriving in our nursery. We appreciate your positive feedback and are committed to providing a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for all the children in our care.
They do all the typical activities you would expect but also make huge efforts to celebrate festivals of different faiths and key dates in the year. They host special Mother’s/Father’s Day breakfasts and many other events which parents are welcome to.
Since joining in August 2022, the nursery has employed additional members of staff. Our children have had the same key members throughout which is hugely important as I know many nurseries with regular staff turnover.
We get a daily log and photos of the activities covered. Staff are approachable and open which makes it a wonderful place to leave our babies at each day.
Thank you for the review and for being part of our nursery family.
The management is brilliant, very responsive and helpful. We couldn't have chosen a better nursery and we will be very sad when it is time to say goodbye!
Thank you for the review and saying staff are fantastic. We love helping our families and nurturing all the children in our care.
My child is very happy at this nursery. It has been amazing to see him develop his motor skills through the play activities and gain confidence to be a fairly independent 2-year-old. He has bonded really well with the staff and is happy to leave me in the morning to get a welcome hug from them.
Thank you for the review and for being part of our nursery family.
Lovely and caring staff, good learning and development plan and very good menu selection. The transition from being an independent nursery to becoming part of Family First was complicated at first but the Manager and the team have been very responsive and understanding. Our daughter is always happy to go to nursery!
Thank you for the review and we appreciate your feedback. The staff are doing an amazing job and thank you for choosing our nursery.
My daughter is 2 and absolutely loves going to nursery. She had a special bond with her key workers and has settled there incredibly well and quickly. She has been there for about 4 months now. They have also really helped with potty training and the staff have a lovely manner and approach to the kids. We’re really happy with it!
Thank you for the review and we are so happy to see that your daughter loves coming to nursery.
I can recommend Little Garden very highly. We are delighted with the teachers and support at the nursery, and my daughter loves going each day. I love getting photo and updates of what she does each day and appreciate the mix between learning, teaching and making sure the children have fun. A very easy 5 stars!
Thank you for the review and for loving our nursery.
I couldn't have found a better nursery for my daughter to attend. The nursery has a genuine family feel and everyone made us feel so welcome from the very first day. The staff and facilities are exceptional. My girl absolutely loves it and has grown so much in confidence over her time there.
Thank you for this lovely review and we are happy to hear that your daughter enjoys her experience at the nursery and has grown so much confidence.
Our son is very happy going there, enjoying all the activities and helping him with his development. Professional and polite staff that makes us welcome and take care very well of our son.
Thanks
Thank you for this lovely review! We are happy to hear that your little one is having a good experience at our nursery.
We love The Finchley Day Nursery! Our son started almost two years ago and has grown to absolutely love the setting, teachers, and other children. He runs in with a smile on his face every day now and comes back with lots of exciting things to tell us. He is loving their weekly "show and tell" time, as well as picking a new library book every week and spending a lot of time in the garden. This will be his last year before he starts school, and we will all surely miss everyone at the nursery!
Thank you for your lovely review and we are so happy to hear that your little one is loving the weekly 'show and tell; time.
I have to say this nursery is the best! I have had experience with other nursery and my son was always coming home crying. Since he started there, he is very happy and excited to go. Moreover, the staff are very welcoming and kind. Any concerns that you might have, they are ready to help and support you. I can't mention any names but you can tell they are the right people for the job (from management team to the room key workers) as they are attentive towards your child. I am very happy that my son attends to this nursery and I wouldn't change anything.
Thank you for this lovely review! We are happy to hear that your little one is having a good experience and we are so glad he has settled well at our nursery.
I have my 1 year old at The Finchley Day Nursery & Pre-School and had my 5 years old son there for 3 years, which is already proof of how much I appreciate this place. The place is tidy and clean, the staff is absolutely amazing, they give so much love and care for the kids, I know my baby is being cuddled and played with constantly and she absolutely loves going there, full of smiles and laughs when I bring her in. I definitely recommend it!
Thank you for the review and for saying staff are amazing.
The environment is very calm and not overly stimulating for the children.
I appreciate the daily updates, and the communication is excellent. They inform us of what we need to bring, any upcoming events, any incidents, and what they have been up to.
They also host sweet events such as Mother's Day breakfasts, where children handcrafted paintings for their mothers - this was absolutely lovely and a little emotional.
I was initially concerned about him attending daycare at such a young age (especially given our previous experience elsewhere), but they created a caring environment for him to enjoy, play, and learn. I am eternally grateful.
We love reading feedback like this! We are happy to hear that your little one is having a good experience at our nursery. Thank you for sharing it with us; we will pass on your lovely comments to the team.
I love that each week the kids are exploring a new topic. They do many activities everyday and they are learning so much. I have seen a great development in my child in just 2 months he has been going to nursery! Each evening the teachers find the time to talk with us parents and tell us how our children have been doing. I just love everything about this nursery!
Thank you for your lovely review and we are so glad to hear that you find our activities to be a great part in your child's day at the nursery.

At The Finchley Day Nursery & Preschool we love learning through a variety of activities.
