Review from Hector H (Father of Child) published on 7 April 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Hudson's Field has provided a wonderful start for our son, choosing it due to the caring happy and exciting atmosphere instantly apparent! The abundance of fun things to play with, creative activities, healthy and varied menu, a lovely warm attitude of the staff is perfect. A key thing to mention is the frequent outings to town, library and local areas, which are enriching experiences that encourage a different type of growth we havent seen other nurseries in Salisbury offer!

We have no regrets at all and our son cannot wait to go each nursery day, confidently, happily walking in eachday with a big smile to his key worker (who is fantastic!) were big fans 10/10 nursery and have recommended it to other parents in our group! :)

Review from Andy R (Grandfather of Child) published on 1 April 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Since coming to Nursery, our Grandson's development has been nothing short of amazing. All the team have been so welcoming with our Grandson loving each day. We agree a focus area(s) for the next period, which, to date, has been a success. The team at the Nursery has become a home from home. We have absolutely zero concerns with leaving our Grandson here. The regular updates are looked forward to, are informative, descriptive and back with 'forever' pictorial picture keepsakes. The Nursery are very thoughtful with things like a surprise 'Nana's' day card, Xmas card, etc. We cannot give the team here enough praise; they have truly transformed our Grandson and our lives in the most positive ways. Thank you. We are looking forward to the coming days, months and years.

Our daughter attends Finkley Hudson's Field Nursery and absolutely loves her time there.
All staff are really friendly and welcome the children each day with a smile and positivity!

Planned activities and themed weeks keep their interest and she loves going on the trips out to the park, field or into town, which they do often. We are kept updated very well on the app, which helps us understand what she has been doing. We are so glad we found this nursery!

Review from Ellen B (Mother of Child) published on 19 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter moved to Finkley Hudsons field after being at a different nursery for 9 months which unfortunately she didn't settle in. I can honestly say from day 1 at Finkley (5 months ago) that she has been settled & I have been at ease with the entire settling process. The staff are incredible and empathetic & have been so understanding and attentive to not only my daughter's needs but mine as a parent. I cannot recommend Finkley enough & the range of activities/trips the children do is just brilliant.

Thank you to all the staff at Finkley for keeping my daughter safe, happy & settled at all times!

Reply from Meghan White, Manager at Finkley Hudson's Field Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely review! It has been a pleasure getting to know your little one and supporting them and your family with their settling in period. We are really happy to read your positive feedback about the nursery. We look forward to continuing this journey with you.

Overall Experience

We moved our daughter from another nursery to Finkley when she was 18months old and it was a great decision. She settled in so quickly with such warm and friendly staff. Her confidence has grown immensely and she is learning new things every day. She loves the range of activities they do; particularly the arts and crafts, games in the garden and trips out to the park and hudson's field. Overall she seems to be thriving and that is testament to the excellent staff and setting at Finkley.

Overall Experience

Finkley Hudson's Field Nursery has had a positive impact, on not just our son but the whole family. We always look forward to hearing about our son's day and the activities he has been up to. The nursery has always been extremely welcoming and I particularly enjoy the occasions when family members are invited in to join for activities or celebrations. The staff are always so friendly and supportive and our son loves chatting to them all. His confidence has grown so much and we will be sad to leave when he starts school.

Review from Catherine R (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are so pleased that we decided to place our little girl at Finkley Hudsons Field nursery from September 24. She transitioned straight away and seems to have the best time there. She starts clapping her hands when she sees her key workers and can't wait to get stuck in to all the brilliant activities they plan. All staff are so friendly and welcoming and management are quick to respond to queries and are visible. The app is also fantastic at keeping us informed throughout the day as to what she is eating and how long her nap is etc. They also upload lovely photos and an update twice a day of all the fun things they are doing. It gives us peace of mind. The facilities at the nursery really stand out, they have a soft play room which our daughter loves, and their outside space is great too; it's also right on the doorstep of the field at Hudsons. We would definitely recommend this nursery to others

Review from Katie C (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When my daughter started Hudson's field nursery at 1 year old we both suffered severe separation anxiety from each other. My daughter took quite a while to settle into nursery but with the help of the amazing staff we finally cracked it. She has grown so much confidence since being at nursery and seeing all the photos of her playing nicely with her friends or of her on her outings really makes my day. I would recommend Hudson's field nursery to anybody that asked me, it really is a fantastic place with the most amazing staff!

Review from Claire W (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Finkley is a wonderful nursery and my 17 month old is very settled there; he has been attending for almost a year.
Last week the nursery offered a "stay and play" session for parents, and it was great to see how at home he is. He has a great bond with the staff, he will climb on to their knees or give hugs, and seems to really enjoy the nursery environment and interacting with his friends of a similar age. He both eats and sleeps well there, and is a confident and happy baby.
The nursery has a wide range of facilities, including a soft play room and outdoor playground, and the babies spend time outside every day which is great.

The work the nursery staff do on educational and developmental activities have helped my baby with all sorts of things including feeding himself with a spoon and they provide updates via an app - along with lots of pictures. It's wonderful to see the fun things he gets up to during the day. We are very pleased with the nursery and couldn't have asked for better.

Review from Stevie L (Mother of Child) published on 12 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The nursery has such a welcoming and friendly team, who show that they really care about the children and their development by taking time to get to know each child and planning really engaging activities. This is my first child going to nursery and the team has made me feel completely relaxed and assured about sending my daughter there. She also loves the staff and the setting, practically running there every morning! They genuinely seem excited to see my daughter every morning and I know she feels the same. My son doesn't attend yet but is also engaged by the staff at drop off and I am really pleased to be applying for his place next year.

The communication (both in person and tapestry) is excellent and I feel included in my child's journey. Overall this is a fantastic nursery and we feel very fortunate to have a place for our daughter there.

Reply from Meghan White, Manager at Finkley Hudson's Field Nursery

Thank you so much for your kind words! This review means a lot to our staff team and our Nursery as a whole! We are extremely pleased to hear your child and your family are having such a positive experience at our nursery and we cannot wait to have your little boy attend next year too!
