My nephew joined Finkley in January this year and has absolutely loved it. He is thriving in all areas and the staff are so attentive! We love Finkley East Anton and I can not wait for my little one to join in September.
Thank you for your feedback, we can not wait for your little one to join us in September.
My son has thrived at Finkley and I can't wait to watch my daughter do the same when she gets to join this great nursery.
Highly recommend.
Thank you for such lovely words, we love having your son with us and we can not wait for his sister to join us also.
Me and my daughter love this nursery. They are caring, attentive, patient, and friendly and my daughter couldn’t be happier or talk more highly of her nursery, the fantastic staff and all the amazing activities they get up to. Not to mention the days out they regularly have to places like the farm that my daughter lives for. She comes home singing songs, telling me about her time with the staff, the yummy lunches she eats and on her days off, she’s always asking me if she can go to nursery.
Thank you so much for the lovely review, I will pass this on to the team.
Finkley East Anton is the most supportive nursery, there’s been massive changes in my daughter's development and I’m given daily updates on how she’s getting along. I’ll recommend Finkley East Anton Nursery any day.
Thank you so much for your five star review in all areas!
My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting here and is desperate to go to nursery every day now. He has so much fun and absolutely adores certain members of staff whom he talks about non-stop.
Well done guys on doing a fantastic job in caring for and teaching my children!
Thank you so much for your lovely review, I will pass these comments on to the team.
My son always comes home happy and can’t wait to tell me all the exciting things he’s done that day. You can tell that all the staff work their hardest to ensure all the children are safe, acknowledged and cared for. They also go out of their way to think of exciting day trips and fun learning activities to keep the children entertained.
For me, this is the best nursery/preschool in the country!
Thank you so much for your lovely review, I will pass your messages onto the team
My son started here in January 2023. The staff have always been really lovely and welcoming and have really helped settle my son into the nursery environment. My son has a few favourites that he is always talking about at home! These staff members really do come across like they love being there and show affection towards him! The activities set out are always engaging and exciting and relates to the children’s interests. They go on walks to the local parks and trips to the farm also, this was one of the main reasons why we chose this nursery in the first place. Very happy with the nursery and all of the fantastic staff for always being so loving towards my boy. The manager is friendly and professional and always on hand to talk to in person or by email, nothing is ever too much trouble for her or any of the staff there! Thank you!
Watching your son grow and settle at the nursery has been a pleasure. Thank you for your kind words, I will pass these lovely comments on to the team.
The staff has been incredibly supportive and encouraging throughout the entire process. Given my initial concerns about my nervous child, who had previously struggled to settle, I was a bit apprehensive to start. However, we are gradually making significant progress. My little girl genuinely enjoys her outings with the nursery and is building strong relationships with both the staff and other children.
Your daughter is doing so well and we are very proud of her. Thank you for your kind words, I will pass these lovely comments on to the team.
I'm very happy with this nursery. The staff offer a friendly, caring approach to looking after my daughter. The daily activities help to develop my daughter's learning as well as lots of free playtime. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent.
Thank you for this lovely review. I will pass it onto the team who will appreciate your lovely comments
My daughter has been attending since August 2022. The staff there and in particular her keyworker have developed great relationships with her which has helped her to settle. They go on lovely trips out to various places, which really help her to develop her life skills and understanding of the world around her.
Thank you for your lovely review. I know the staff will appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
Finkley East Anton Nursery is the best nursery by far. The staff are fantastic, they take time to get to know the parents and communication with us is excellent. They provide so much support to parents with things like potty training etc. They adore my son and his key worker has put in so much effort to help with his speech and development. My youngest is already registered to join the nursery when he turns two next year. I could not have asked for more from Finkley as they are brilliant, every single staff member including the kitchen staff.
Thank you for your kind comments, the team will love reading your review
We are so happy with the Finkley East Anton Nursery staff and facilities. All the staff that we dealt with so far are super friendly. My son loves coming to Nursery and every day I can see how much he already learns and is developing new skills and experiencing new things. Every time when we have asked for any help or advice from the team, you get such a good support and willingness to help you out. Overall we definitely recommend this Nursery to anyone.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. It is so nice to hear that your son loves coming to nursery.
My daughter absolutely loves nursery! This has been a great learning curve for her to become independent and have time away from mummy. The best nursery by far and we shall be sad to leave in august when she leaves to go to school.
Thank you for the lovely review. The team will be chuffed to read your kind words. Thank you.
Amazing staff who my son adores. Nursery practitioners are so good with him and he feels really comfortable with them. The comms are really good and I love reading the newsletter each week about what they've been up to!
Thank you ever so much for your kind comments. This reviews mean so much to the staff and your kind words are very much appreciated.
Finkley East Anton has exceeded any of the hopes we had for our child's care! They go above and beyond in everything they do for the kids in their care and as a parent, it just means the world! Couldn't honestly ask for anything more from a childcare setting!
Reviews like this mean so much to the team. Thank you ever so much for sharing your feelings.
My son started Finkley Nursery (East Anton) in September and in only a short space of time he has settled so well and made a bond with his key worker. The staff are all so friendly and supportive and set up great activities for the children to explore and learn. I would definitely recommend Finkley Nurseries to anyone looking for childcare. I look forward to the rest of my son's journey here and making lots of memories.
Thank you for your lovely review. We love having your son here with us.
The staff are always friendly at the door and are always willing to help.
The activities they put out provide the children with so many different learning experiences!
Cannot wait for him to grow and develop with Finkley.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we really love having your son here with us. Thank you.
My nephew has been going to Finkley East Anton Nursery since April 2022. Since then he has come on leaps and bounds, not only in his development but also his confidence. The staff are so welcoming and it really puts my mind to rest knowing he is being so well looked after. Couldn't recommend them enough.
Thank you for your lovely review, we really appreciate any feedback.
My son is at the stage where he is just about to leave East Anton to go into primary school. He has attended since the nursery opened. We couldn’t have asked for more. He has been to another nursery beforehand and that doesn’t compare to how well run East Anton is. The staff there are lovely and do anything for my son and he always comes out happy after spending time at the farm, soft play and lovely food in his belly. His key worker has been brilliant and has really helped him enjoy going to nursery and comforts him on an occasional morning when he doesn’t want to leave his mummy. Overall it’s a really good nursery and they do a lot for the children. This year we’ve had a well organised sports day at the farm, graduation day, leavers party with bouncy castle, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day picnics and games. It has really been an entertaining year for my little boy and East Anton has prepared him well to step up into primary school. Thank you all so much!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We have loved having your son here and getting to know you all. We wish him the best of luck for school and the future.
Our twins were late starting nursery due to health concerns around covid, the nursery knew this and knew that we were all feeling anxious and therefore worked really hard to make us all feel comfortable and happy. It took a while, but with brilliant staff/key workers who are very attentive to the children’s needs, our girls have grown in confidence, learnt so much and are making great progress! They absolutely love going to Finkley East Anton Nursery and I know they’ll really miss it when they leave! We will be forever grateful for all of the help and support we have received throughout their time there! I couldn’t recommend it enough!
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we have loved having the girls and will miss them both when they go to school!
