Finkley Down Farm Nursery & Pre-school Andover

A wonderful team, we are lucky and happy because our children can have an education with a lot of patience and dedication from the whole team. I am so happy with the choice made and I see major changes in behaviour. They learn new things every day, they are active and involved and go in with pleasure every day. I recommend this nursery.

I am delighted to have my boy there! They are doing such great activities, my baby has completely changed since he started there! They keep us updated all the time, they ask us if there is something that we would like them to work with the kids on! All staff are amazing.

My granddaughter started Finkley in August 2021, since then she has come on leaps and bounds! I can’t recommend the nursery enough and knowing my granddaughter is so well looked after means the world to me. I’ve been to some lovely events organised by the nursery and all the staff are so lovely and welcoming.

My granddaughter is going to be leaving soon to go to school and the nursery have given her the best start possible. The support they have also given my daughter (her mum) when needed is second to none. I can’t recommend the nursery enough and am so happy my daughter chose them for our precious granddaughter.

Our son loves going to Finkley Down Farm Nursery. The staff are fantastic. Our son requires additional support for his speech and language. Since he has been going to Finkley, this has improved dramatically. It is completely reassuring when dropping him off in the mornings, as he has a brilliant relationship with his key worker. It is great to see the variety of activities he is doing as this is shared via a parental app. Finkley is a great preschool for children to make friends, participate in an assortment of activities and general child development. I could not recommend Finkley highly enough.

Our daughter recently started at Finkley and she feels so happy and comfortable there already it's wonderful. She has so many opportunities there she just wouldn't get at another nursery. Daily trips to the farm, jewellery making, Bug hotel making and that is just in her first week. The communication is brilliant, the resources are fantastic and the staff are some of the best you will find. I couldn't be happier that she is starting her adventure into education at Finkley! Highly recommended!

Finkley Down Farm nursery is a fantastic nursery. I cannot sing its praise loud enough. Our son has gone from being insecure and hesitant into a confident happy chap. He looks forward to attending nursery and visiting the farm is the highlight of his day! The patience and love each member of staff gives each individual child is truly wonderful. Pity there are only 5 stars to give, I’d give them a 10/10 if I could.

The staff at Finkley Down Farm Nursery go above and beyond to provide great care and activities for my child. A recent Mother's Day teddy bear picnic was so nice to be able to come onto the setting and have my child show me where he likes to play. Staff had put on a lovely picnic and lots of fun activities to play, also some making memories art activities to do together. I look forward to another time we might do similar.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. The activities the staff put on are fantastic and varied. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. My daughter has developed a very close bond with her key worker and I feel they have been instrumental in her development.

Our son has been at Finkley Down Farm Nursery since September 2021. We were very nervous about him attending nursery as he has a speech delay and also some separation anxiety due to the pandemic...we need not have been worried as Finkley have been fantastic with him. All the staff are so warm, friendly and nurturing and his relationship with his key worker has been instrumental in helping him settle into his days at the nursery. He loves being able to go to the farm, play in the garden and outdoor space and gets involved in the activities - he also does a Language box session every week which really helps us and him with his development in this area and Finkley regularly update us on how he is doing with this and share strategies with us so we can implement at home too. We couldn't ask for a better place for our son and we're so confident he is going to go from strength to strength with Finkley.

Finkley Down Farm Nursery really do go above and beyond. My daughter has followed in her brother's footsteps and now attends the nursery. From her first day, she has hopped and skipped into the nursery and each day comes home so happy. The girls there are amazing at what they do for the children. Always at the end of a phone and provide great information on the planning of each week and so lovely to see how my daughter is developing on the online learning portal with great pictures of her enjoying her days. Thank you to the staff for everything you do for our little girl. She adores you and the rest of your fantastic team.

The management and staff are excellent at Finkley Down Farm Nursery. My son loves going there and comes home happy having learnt lots whilst having loads of fun. The facilities are amazing and are far better than all the other nurseries I looked at prior to choosing Finkley. The food supplied is healthy nutritious and varied I’m so happy I managed to get my son a place there.

I couldn’t be happier with this Nursery. Each day my son come home happy with his day. He is more confident and is demonstrating big gains in his speech, numbers and letters and he is only 3. They have also been extremely supportive of his toilet training. They have so many different activities to keep him entertained and he absolutely loves all the staff. 5 stars are not enough for Finkley!

Our daughter has attended Finkley since late July 2021. After lockdown and having next to no contact with anyone other than her parents at age 3, the staff at Finkley were incredible at welcoming her in. After two settling in sessions, she was off, running in every day shouting "bye mummy!" without a look back. The change in her over 8 months has been wonderful. Her speech has improved immensely, she's happy and confident and loves talking about her teachers and fellow pupils.

The setting is wonderful, with a huge garden area full of different learning through play opportunities and the farm visits are second to none with regular visits to the soft play and animals. She always comes home covered in mud, sand and/or paint with a huge smile on her face having had a fantastic time! She tells me every day that she loves nursery. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel happy about your child's care, the tapestry posts are frequent and informative and they are happy to chat anytime.

Finkley Down Farm Nursery is a superb setting, with the added bonus of regular farm trips. The communication is great and each week they offer such imaginative and fun activities. We have sent both our boys since it opened and they have both absolutely loved it. The staff are all fantastic, very friendly and always smiling. To see how much confidence my son has gained over the past year has been fantastic. He finishes each day with a huge smile on his face, he can’t wait to show us all his artwork and share his little adventures. The nursery team do a great job of preparing them for school and they are supportive to parents too throughout the different stages. I would highly recommend Finkley Down Farm Nursery and can’t thank the staff enough for their continuous hard work.

Such a nurturing environment and the nursery staff make such an effort to ensure the children are fulfilled with an enriched educational day. What other nursery gives children access to a farm to interact with animals on such a regular basis. The nursery feels like it gives so much freedom to the children and they are encouraged to be themselves and express themselves through creative play.

My daughter attends Finkley Down Farm Nursery and absolutely loves it! We only have positive feedback from her, she loves her key person and talks about her non-stop. The rooms are lovely with plenty of space and opportunities for the children, the staff put out toys and activities that relate to the theme of the day and this keeps everything exciting and our daughter loves telling us what different activities are out. Thank you to everyone at Finkley for being so amazing with her.

My little one has been at Finkley since September 2021 and he absolutely loves it all the staff are lovely, very welcoming and friendly and I definitely feel like if there was ever any issues you could go to them right away.

My son loves being there getting involved in all the messy activities, seeing his friends as well as staff and loving visiting the farm which is an added bonus. My son has been referred for speech and language and since being at nursery doing language time has really helped my child’s speech and it has developed amazingly Finkley were fab when it came to helping/showing me what we needed to do to get him referred.

Overall the nursery is amazing! I wouldn’t want him to go anywhere else. Happy son, happy mum.

My daughter started at Finkley Down Farm Nursery in August last year! Since then she has come on leaps and bounds with her learning and confidence! The staff are amazing and always put the parents and children first! If you have a concern about your child’s development or emotional well-being, management are super approachable and will go out of their way to support you and your child! The key worker system is amazing and it’s very easy to communicate with the key worker via tapestry, phone calls or at the door! My daughter speaks very highly of all the staff and loves coming to nursery every day! Everyone who works at Finkley Nursery makes you and your child feel so valued and I really couldn’t recommend them enough! Also having access to the farm is unique and very beneficial to children's development!

My daughter has attended nursery since she first turned 2, she has been going for 1 year 4 months and I couldn’t be happier with the progress she has made. When she first started she didn’t speak very much and was very shy, but she doesn’t stop talking now and has grown so much in confidence, it’s lovely to see how much she is thriving since starting nursery. She absolutely adores her key worker who has been fantastic with keeping us updated and informed with any changes and does fantastic observations which are great to read on the tapestry.

She doesn’t stop going on about her keyworker at home. She has such fun at nursery and is always keen to tell me about her day whether it’s trips to the farm, soft play or she’s been on-site at nursery, she always has a lot to say. All the staff always seem so happy and welcoming at the door when I see them at drop-offs and pickups. I recommend the nursery to anyone looking as I don’t think it can be beaten!
