Review from Virginia R (Mother of Child) published on 19 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children (now ages 1 and 3) attend Scribbles Nursery and we've been very happy with their care. They are both cared for lovingly, with attentive caregivers, clear boundaries, and lots of fun playtime as well as educational and developmental activities. Their teachers send us regular reports
and help us mitigate and identify issues, and they've been helpful with things like potty training. We feel very lucky to have such a special nursery close and convenient to us! The only thing we might wish for is more outdoor space to run around in, but the nursery is located within London so this is a common issue in urban nurseries, and they're very creative in how they use outdoor space to get kids moving there.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.912 for Little Garden The Finchley Day Nursery & Pre-School (Previously Scribbles) is calculated as follows: ( (272 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 297 Ratings = 4.912
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Garden The Finchley Day Nursery & Pre-School (Previously Scribbles) is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 68 number of registered child places is 13.6, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2015

Hi, I’m Voula, the Nursery Manager.


I am a qualified teacher with a Degree in Nursery Education, I’m the Designated Safeguarding Lead and am qualified in Paediatric First Aid.


At The Finchley Day Nursery & Preschool we love learning through a variety of activities. We enjoy science experiments, practising our writing skills and phonetics, and learning all about numbers, as part of our school readiness. We love going on trips to the woods and allotments, and developing our physical skills through running, climbing, and yoga.


Caring for our children is such a rewarding career and I strive and encourage our children to progress and reach their full potential and be happy independent learners.


As a team we build close bonds with the children and work together in achieving our goals.
