Review from Domingo M (Father of Child) published on 1 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been with Mace (North Finchley) for over 5 years as I have my first child going there since he was 1. My son loved it so much. He learned and developed confidence.

I have my second child in there too and almost ready to start school soon. She is very happy and has developed properly and she is ready for Foundation stage. Now regarding the management staff and learning activities, I have seen many changes within the nursery for the past years and I have to say that currently the management is making a strong effort to provide the best service and always caring about the child.

Lots of extra activities, and park trips. Great activities for the kids to learn about different cultures, such as the recent Chinese New year activity where they brought a dancing Dragon in! The kids loved it!

Recommendation I would like them to push more the Montessori learning techniques and its equipment more often.

My son attends this nursery since age of 18 months. He absolutely loves going to nursery. He is really happy there. He loves his teachers and his friends. I am very happy for choosing this nursery for him. All the teachers and staff are very kind, patient and professional. I really recommend this nursery.

Review from Mr & Mrs P (Father of Child) published on 30 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The majority of parents send their son or daughter to the nursery that is closest to their home. We didn't do that.

We looked at all the nurseries in the area and then chose the one that we liked the most.

Here are some of the practical reasons why we chose this nursery (in no particular order):
1) Different rooms for different ages
2) Dedicated reception area
3) Fantastic outside space/playground
4) Situated on a quiet road with a car park
5) Cloakroom outside the rooms for all the buggies and coats
6) All on the ground floor, no stairs
7) Lots of windows and natural light
8) Freshly cooked meals
9) Very close to a park

10) Good public transport links, bus and tube

... but the real reason we send our son here is because *ALL* the staff are awesome and our son is really HAPPY here.

If you live anywhere near Whetstone or North Finchley, I would definitely recommend it.

Overall Experience

My second son is attending this nursery. My eldest went here too, from 1 year until he was three, and he loved it so we sent our second and now after some jitters at first, he really enjoys it. We are very lucky to have such a great place so close. The staff are really good and you get to know them as friends.
