Very friendly nursery who do lots with the children. My daughter started here and has enjoyed it ever since because they've made her feel comfortable and welcome. They update parents regularly with photos and notes regarding food and toilet changes which is good to have. I would definitely recommend going here to other parents / friends
Thank you so much for your review. It makes us so proud to know that you and your child are happy at FInkley Weeke. Thank you!
Finkley weeke is a really lovely nursery, my child settled in and felt really comfortable with everyone and the setting really quickly. The staff are all really lovely and friendly, and genuinely seem to pay attention to and care about my daughter and have got to know her well even though she only goes a couple mornings a week. The staff are all really supportive and helpful, and the communication side is really great through the app, with daily updates of what everyone has got up to throughout the day. There are always lots of lovely activities that have helped spark my daughter's interest in different topics and she has learnt a lot through them. There's lots of outside space and the children are often outside playing and having fun which is lovely to see. The food also seems great with balanced and nutritious meals that my daughter enjoys. I am very happy sending my daughter here, and would recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. We're delighted to hear that your daughter has settled in so quickly and feels comfortable and happy in our nursery environment. Our team works hard to build strong, caring relationships with every child, so it's wonderful to know that...
We have had such a wonderful experience with this nursery. They cared for my eldest daughter before she started school and now look after my youngest, and I honestly couldn't recommend them more. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive and genuinely care about the children. They create such a warm, nurturing environment where the kids feel safe, happy and excited to learn. It's been lovely to see both of my daughters grow in confidence during their time there. Knowing they are in such good hands gives us real peace of mind as parents. Thank you to the whole team for everything you do.
Thank you for this amazing review! It means so much to us that you chose to send your 2nd daughter to Finkley too after a positive experience with your first and it has been wonderful seeing her settle in so well! Thank you!
Our younger daughter started around a month ago and has settled in brilliantly, which is a huge credit to all of the wonderful staff. They have immediately made her feel welcome and engaged her with fun activities and themes. She's already experienced some fabulous trips out, really bringing her learning alive.
Finkley are flexible and the hours that they offer fit brilliantly for us as a family.
The staff have made a real effort to build genuine connection with our little girl, we know we are sending her to a setting where she is cared for and nurtured. We love Finkley and recommend it to anyone without hesitation!
Thank you for this amazing review! It means so much to us that you chose to send your 2nd daughter to Finkley too after a positive experience with your first and it has been wonderful seeing her settle in so well! Thank you!
I feel fortunate to have chosen Finkley Week Nursery for my child.
Thank you for this amazing review, I'm so glad your child has settled in so well and formed amazing attachments with the team!
All the staff are so happy, friendly and caring, they consistantly go above and beyond what could ever expect.
Truly over the moon with our experiences with Finkley weeke. Not only do they care about the children when in their care but they equally care and want to help and make transitions at home better too. When my eldest struggled with going into nursery (absolutely happy when in the setting) mornings were tough, a staff member took it upon herself and made a chart to show where she will be each day with photos of doors and ever since then mornings have miraculously been much better just by giving her that visual aid of what to expect that week.
Their key worker takes such an interest in both of our childrens interests, taking that time to truly know them and their very different personalities. Helping with things they may struggle with or need extra time exploring.
Thank you so much for this lovely review! It's been amazing to see how both your little ones have settled in and how much fun they have!
I have always been amazed by the abundance of activities and themed weeks staff plan, promoting all areas of development. No two days are the same! The outside environment, day trips and links with the community were main attractions for us, and it's really helped to develop our children's sense of curiosity of the world!
Another positive element is the exceptional communication. We are regularly updated with observations and photos of our children's progress which is a highlight as a parent.
Thank you to Vanessa and the team for continuing to take care of our two! We honestly couldn't recommend Finkley Weeke enough!
Thank you so much fir your amazing review and kind words! It makes us so proud to know that you are so happy with the care that we provide. Thank you!
Polite friendly staff who take the time to understand the child's needs, in terms of educational nurture, ways of learning with an emotional balance. They fully embraced my child in a smooth transition between nurseries, developmentally I have been impressed by the efforts, planning, ideas for learning, fun and safe environment whilst being able to grow as a child. My son loves his nursery and his key worker is amazing with him, she cares about the children's which goes a long way.
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! Your son has settled in so well and it has been amazing seeing him develop and have the best time every day! Thank you!
They did a MacMillan coffee morning at the end of the first month which was good timing for me as a nursery new parent as I got to meet other parents and have a chat.
Thank you so much for your amazing review, it is lovely to read how much your son has loved the nursery and how quickly he settled in building close relationships with all the team! Thank you!
I came to view the nursery and I was welcomed by member of team . I found nursery Friendly, caring, staff is knowledgable and skilled, excellent management . Children are happy . I would highly recommend
Thank you for your kind review, I am so pleased that you had such a lovely experience when visiting the nursery.
This was an excellent pre school for my inquisitive, confident, funny, caring little girl and they have helped me raise her to be more than ready for school in the autumn. I am very thankful for the love they gave her every day.
Thank you so much for this incredible review! We have loved having your daughter with us so pleased that you were so happy with the nursery and team. Thank you!
I can't laud enough praise on Finkley Weeke. Our daughter was one of the first babies in the baby room, but you wouldn't know it. From the off, we have been impressed with the activities, outdoor space, food and communication. Parents vote on a new theme every two weeks and the team are so imaginative when it comes to making up activities. Even when our daughter couldn't walk, she was enjoying tuff trays for the "colour" theme and making pizza for "around the world" theme. Every day, someone sends a roundup of what each room has been up to, with photos. It's so nice to see what all the children have been up to, especially when your child is too young to tell you them self. We have experience of another local nursery, where our daughter would arrive and leave crying, and we had no idea what she'd been up to all day. She goes into Finkley happily and is having fun in all the photos. This is thanks to the amazing team, particularly Manager and Baby-Lead.Thank you!
Thank you so much for this amazing review! It's fantastic to hear that you are so happy with the baby room and that your daughter has settled in so well! She absolutely loves her days here and gets stuck in exploring all the activities! Thank you again!
Absolutely love Finkley nursery. The staff are fantastic and engaging with the kids. Drop off and pick up and really well managed and take the stress out of it. They go on regular trips out and provide lots of photos through the app. Our kids both moved there a few months ago and things couldn't have gone better. They have a good outside space with sheltered areas for when the sun is too much. Would thoroughly recommend it to anyone, our kids love it!
Thank you so much for your kind review, we have loved welcoming your children to our Finkley Family and they have settled in so well! Thank you
My daughter has grown leaps and bounds due to the individual care and attention she receives.
Staff always recognise and highlight special moments and achievements within the week, which gives me a better understanding of Hannah's abilities outside the home. The feeling of welcome, care and friendliness is what makes me feel at ease everyday when I do drop off. The school is also accommodating with any requests for additional days and or changes where permitted around staff levels. Big still is around the corner and I feel work all activities and knowledge bestowed my daughter will be ready for her next adventure and challenge.
Thank you so much for this review. It is lovely to hear from parents and of course we are always here to help. It will be sad when she leaves to go to school but we know she will amazing! Best wishes
We had heard excellent things about Finkley Weeke and, even so, it has exceeded our expectations! It is a very special place filled with very special people.
Our daughter's key worker is incredible and really took the time to connect with her from the second she arrived. Each week, there is a shared plan sent to parents detailing the topic being covered that week - our daughter has learned so much and will spontaneously talk to us about topics, such as autumn and hibernation! There is a genuine appreciation of the staff team at every level, and it reflects in their amazing work and wonderful manner with the children. The team is always warm and enthusiastic, even down to the way the children are welcomed inside in the morning.
We genuinely couldn't recommend Finkley Weeke highly enough and are so excited that our son will get to experience the magic when he starts there too.
Thank you so much for this kind review! We strive to ensure that all children have the most amazing experience with us and that parents/families always feel welcome and included in their children's learning journeys! Thank you, we are looking forward to having your son join our Finkley Family too!
I cannot speak more highly of Finkley Weeke Nursery. The staff have been absolutely incredible with both my little girl and my little boy. My daughter, who had attended three previous nurseries due to house moves, truly thrived at Finkley. It had been, by far, the most exceptional experience. The staff supported her emotional regulation, and she made fantastic progress. She also developed wonderful bonds with the team. My son, who still attends, has also formed such close relationships with the staff and children. He absolutely loves going and looks forward to it every day.
Frinkly Weeke Nursery has been a wonderful place for both my children, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Thank you so much for this amazing review! We are so pleased that you have had such a positive experience whilst your children have attended Finkley Weeke! Thank you
My youngest daughter still attends Finkley and she absolutely loves her time there. She particularly enjoyed the Halloween season with the Finkley staff doing lots of arts and crafts and then learning all about the seasons. The staff at Finkley are all incredibly friendly and helpful and have really kept is informed about our daughters development. Her key worker in particular has a very special bond with her and really helps her develop her learning.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, I am so pleased that your still so happy with the care and experiences we offer at Finkley Weeke and that your daughter loves her time with us! It has been amazing seeing your eldest and now your little one grow and develop with us! Thank you
Finkley Weeke has been amazing for the development of my three year old. We are always kept well informed about our son's progress. My son enjoys the different activities and trips provided by the nursery. He is encouraged to be independent and is appropriately challenged to ensure he is school ready. The staff are extremely friendly and are always happy to work with us to help my son's needs and development. I would highly recommend Finkley Weeke to anyone wanting to send their child to nursery.
Thank you so much to all of the staff at Finkley Weeke you are all incredible.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, I'm really pleased that you are happy with how your son has settled in with us and the communication from all the staff and his key person. Thank you!
My twin boys started at Finkley in October 2023 and it was the best decision we made. Finkley is a brilliant nursery, with a nurturing environment focused on the emotional and learning needs of the individual children. The staff are friendly, professional, experienced and know each of the children really well. They will adapt to support busy working parents at drop off and pick up as well which we have always found very helpful and greatly appreciated.
Finkley Weeke provides regular trips out for the children which are exceptional, including visits to local shops, attractions, a care home and Finkley farm which my boys love. The structured activities and weekly themes that the staff create are also incredible and the effort that goes into the planning and execution of activities to suit the EYFS is outstanding. We have always found the daily contact via the app to be brilliant, with detailed information about learning, activities and day-to-day care. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! It has been an absolute pleasure having your boys with us and they will definitely be missed when they start their next adventure at school!
We are immensely impressed with the overall setting and the wonderful staff at Finkley Weeke. From the beginning, the staff have been incredibly welcoming and supportive. They have created a warm and nurturing environment that has made our daughter feel happy and comfortable. It is evident that they genuinely care about each child and take time to understand their individual needs and personalities. We are particularly grateful for the open communication and the collaborative approach the staff have taken with us. They have kept us informed about our daughter's progress and have always been available to discuss any concerns or questions we might have. The facilities are fantastic, providing a safe and stimulating environment where children learn and play. The activities are varied and engaging, and we have seen our daughter develop new skills during her time there. A special thank you to two special members of staff who have been right by our daughter's side for this whole transition!
Thank you so much, it has been amazing seeing your little one settle in so well with us, form amazing bonds with her key people and grow in confidence since she started with us! Can't wait to see it continue as she takes part in more and more amazing experiences with us! Thank you
