Our son has been at the nursery for just over a year and has gone through the baby and toddler rooms and is now beginning his transition to the 2-3s. We have had a great experience with the nursery and have always felt like the staff really cared about our son and his development. We can tell he has fun and has made a real connection with the staff and other children. It's great that there is a good amount of free form fun as well as guided learning, including yoga and Spanish classes. We also like that he can spend plenty of time outdoors. We are very thankful to all the staff!
Thank you for your review of West Finchley Day Nursery. We're so pleased to hear how positive your experience has been, and how secure and happy your son feels as he continues to grow and progress through the nursery. Your kind words mean a great deal to the team, and reflect our ongoing commitment to creating a nurturing environment where every child feels valued and supported to thrive each day.
The outdoor...
The outdoor space for the children is great and is used daily. The girl's loved it!
What I loved especially is that without having to prompt the nursery, they were constantly making improvements (e.g. updating furniture, fixing broken things etc). Also the additional classes that they offer are unrivalled, the kids get an Arts, Spanish, Yoga and PE teacher that come in and teach the kids.
The staff members were all really friendly and seemed to genuinely care about the kids.
Overall we really enjoyed our time at this nursery and would recommend it to other parents/carers.
Well done the WF nursery team!

The nursery staff implement systems diligently, and I feel they have robust health and safety processes that are followed by all staff. The staff are open to feedback and communicate well.
Staff show great enthusiasm for child development, and the kids do an impressive range of activities, for example, my toddler loves drawing and the messy play activities.

They received a lot of love and support from the team, a lot of 1:1 time, developing their fine motor skills, social skills and language skills.
There has been many enriching activities, such as hatching eggs and watching the chicks, watching caterpillars turning to butterflies, messy play, christmas concert by the kids.
I can't stress enough how incredible the nursery team was and how cooperative, addressing the needs of our children. Thank you so much!

The staff are all super friendly and welcoming. My daughter has been here for almost three months and loves it. The staff helped her settle in really quickly and made her feel safe. There's loads of activities to keep her stimulated and the little library and sensory rooms are a great addition. Being able to play inside or out is perfect for our little explorer. We also love the menu, which is giving our daughter lots of new foods to try and they pride themselves on not giving sandwiches. The new manage has just introduced takeaway breakfasts for the parents/carers at drop off and a little book lending library where you can borrow books to take home. The class sizes are just right too. We are so happy to have chosen this nursery.

I recently had the pleasure of enrolling my two sons, aged 4 and 1, at The West Finchley Nursery, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with the level of care and education provided by the staff. As a mother from Japan, I was particularly pleased with their parent coffee morning events, which cover a variety of helpful topics including toilet training and school preparation. These events have been truly instructive and helpful in guiding me through the challenges of parenthood. The staff at The West Finchley Preschool are kind, attentive, and genuinely care about the well-being of the children in their care. My eldest son, in particular, has been thriving under their guidance, and my youngest son is always happy and content when I pick him up. I highly recommend The West Finchley Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and educational environment for their children.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We strive to building strong partnerships with our families and an important part of this is sharing knowledge and helpful tips to help support you through all stages of development.
Our two-year-old really enjoys her time at the nursery. She comes home eager to report on her Spanish classes, playing outside, circle time, and new things she has learned. The staff are warm, kind, and highly supportive. We'll be sending our second child there as well!
