Over all time The West Finchley Day Nursery has 37 reviews.
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!

My son has been here since he was two, and I have seen him thrive amongst the wonderful atmosphere of this nursery. He is generally shy, but he absolutely loves this place and all the people that work here. I am soooo greatful to have had him be a part of the nursery for 1.5 years and wish we didn't need to move on! Thank you to alll of you that have given so many children the best and most beautiful start in life.

Great nursery. It has nice territory, lots of rooms, different activities every day, thematic days. The staff is really nice. My child attendees this nursery for 1.5 year and really liked going there every day.

Our dedicated team are warm, friendly and always attentive to each child's individual needs. All our rooms have been thoughtfully-designed to support each age group's development with a range of engaging activities and high-quality educational resources.
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.

Lovely nursery, especially for younger babies and toddlers. The staff are great and very caring and supportive. Food is all fresh, healthy and a good variety and our children have thrived with the care and learning they have been given.
Thank you for your review of The West Finchley Day Nursery. We are glad to hear about your feedback - we know how important delicious, healthy food is to a child's development and how important it is that they get exposed to a variety from an early age.
Everyone in the nursery is absolutely lovely and welcoming. Our son loves going there. He had a hard time settling in but there was a lot of help provided from all members of staff which made it a lot easier for us. The food provided is great. The activities are amazing and it’s lovely to get pictures from time to time to see how little one is doing. Highly recommend them.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our warm, nurturing team work hard to provide a great variety of stimulating activities which help keep children happy and engaged whilst helping them develop important knowledge and skills.
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!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's so great to read that your little one is enjoying her time here! Our kind, caring team provide a variety of throughout the nursery day which have been carefully designed to excite and inspire children, encouraging them to explore, investigate and develop their learning.
We are really pleased with The West Finchley Preschool as a nursery for our little one, so much so that we are sending our youngest there, too. The staff are really friendly and care about the children, working with parents and taking seriously any concerns that you may have. The outdoor areas are well-equipped, and our little one loves going to the art room and has weekly Spanish lessons. You’re kept in the loop with what’s happening through regular communication from the leadership team and key workers, which is welcomed. Thank you to The West Finchley team!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our dedicated, nurturing team really take the time to form strong relationships with both children and their families, working in partnership to offer support and guidance. Good communication with our families is so important, and children enjoy a great variety of fun, engaging and educational activities throughout the nursery day.
After two years at The West Finchley Day Nursery, we are really sad to say goodbye. The nursery has gone from strength to strength and my son has developed and grown in an encouraging, safe and positive environment. My daughter has only had six months in toddlers but has loved every minute. She's always occupied and happily walks in every day. The staff are fantastic, from managers to the room to the cooks. It is a really warm and supportive environment. I highly recommend.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's lovely to hear that both of your little ones have enjoyed their time at The West Finchley Day Nursery. Providing a supportive, nurturing environment where children are able to learn and grow is so important.
