We've been with the nursery since 2021. Both my daughter went to the nursery and my son currently goes there. We absolutely love it! It is a small, kind and caring nursery where the staff absolutely makes it what is it is. The team has taken such good care of my kids, are so personable and actually care about them. They support my kids with their needs, help them grow and learn and are very nurturing. My kids are happy to go in and enjoy themselves during the day. I'm very happy with it and would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful experience at the Little Garden Nursery. The staff are all amazing, caring and supportive. My twins have thrived here and developed so well. The garden is lovely (although not very big) and the children have plenty of outdoor playtime, no matter the weather! The activities are always varied and engaging. The drama and french classes were a favourite of ours. Office admin was a bit disorganised but has gotten much better overall I would 100% recommend.

We are very happy with the Finchley nursery. Staff is welcoming, professional and children are very fond of them. We have always found the place clean and activities very engaging for the kids. Staff is supportive of the of the parent's requirements and attentive to kids. They always raise concerns and make us feel confident that kids are well looked after. Thank you!

The staff here are excellent. They provide loving care for the children. I have put both my girls here and they have been well looked after. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly from the moment you walk in. I love that lots of the staff have been around for many years giving consistent care. The feedback of my childs day is very thorough and I feel confident and well informed. i would highly recommend this nursery.

I'm really happy with my childs care. He is developing really well and the staff are kind, caring and consistent. My only gripe is the lack of big outdoor space.

The nursery is one of the best things happened to us in London. We were choosing it thoroughly, compared many of them in North London and picked the best. What is most important - they really care about children! The teachers work there for years, they don't come and go. My son feels there at home. He is happy to go there in the morning

Fantastic nursery with exceptionally kind and caring staff. The rooms are well organised, clean, tidy and the activities are varied. The garden is a delightful outside space for the children which is well maintained and full of engaging equipment. My son has formed strong relationships with his teachers, made friends and enjoys going into nursery.

My son attended the nursery in 2021 and absolutely loved it. My daughter is now attending and has been there since she was 1. The nursery has a lovely family feel and the staff always go above and beyond for everyone. Could not recommend this nursery enough.

Such a lovely nursery. Our daughter has been here for 15 months full time now and so far and in that time all the staff and management have been absolutely amazing! This year she moved up into the 2-3 year old room and the nursery were great and super supportive with the transition. She skips into Nursery every day single day and we get great daily feedback and info, we couldn't be happier.

Our son loves nursery and the team, as do we. He especially loves his key worker! The food options are great, the activities are varied, the staff are caring and professional and the management communicative.

My son has been in the baby room for a year after starting at 10 months and his growth and development has been incredible. Leaving your child in the care of others is so difficult at first but they made the settling in process stress free and it is heartwarming to see how much they care for my son and all of the children in the class. He is constantly surprising us with all of the wonderful things he picks up from nursery and we have no doubt that his confidence and independence has flourished thanks to their guidance and environment. He is excited to go in every day and see what excitement is in store and it gives us great peace of mind to know he is happy and very well looked after!
26 August 2025
My son has started at this nursery and the staff have been so warm and welcoming. They have made his settling in period and first few weeks an easy transition, he really seems to be enjoying himself. We look forward to his daily diaries to find out about the activities hes been up to & love to see the photos of him enjoying himself. Very grateful to the staff here.

My daughter (2.5yrs) has been in this nursery for 14 months. First starting in the infant room Meerkats and currently in the toddler room, Koalas. The nursery is staffed by warm, qualified individuals that truly care about the children. They managed my daughters settling and her the transition to the toddler room SO well. It speaks volumes about the nursery when a child wakes up excited to go in and, almost every day at pickup, happily shares that she had a "really good day." That enthusiasm is a true reflection of the care, commitment, and thoughtful management that make this nursery such a special place. I've seen incredible growth in my daughter since she started here. Despite the small garden, there's plenty of space for the kids to have a great time, and the staff are truly committed to giving them lots of outdoor play. She was in a different nursery at first, and we are SO happy we made the move. I genuinely believe this is the best nursery in the area!

I love the nursery. The stuff are amazing! My girl happy to go in every single day (and would come over the weekend if she could). The activities are age appropriate, and they have a personal goals for each kids..I truly feel that she is seen.

All the staff at this nursery are phenomenal. They make us feel that our children are well taken care of. The nursery take feedback really well. There are brilliant structured activities for the children and a great menu. My only qualm would be that the baby room does not have a seperate sleep room and babies play and sleep in the same area. Which means if your baby is a light sleeper the transition period is going be long and always have an overtired baby. This is more of a ratio/space issue that head office were not able to solve and thus we took our youngest somewhere else but will most definitely bring her back when she's two and can go to the toddler room (where there is a seperate sleep room and play room). Also, the garden is small. Our daughter doesn't mind but I imagine if you have very active children that need to run around loads, it might be a problem. Love this nursery so much!

The staff are incredibly accommodating and very friendly, making both children and parents feel welcome and supported. My daughter adores all the staff members, which speaks volumes about their warmth and care. The nursery keeps us updated every day on our daughter's activities and progress, ensuring we are always in the loop. One of the highlights is their commitment to outdoor time; they make sure the children enjoy garden time regularly. Another fantastic feature is their book corner. My daughter is captivated by it and spends a lot of time there, fostering her love for reading at an early age. Overall, me and my husband couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

Having moved to Little Garden Nursery after a really terrible previous nursery experience, Little Garden was the best choice we could possibly make for our twins. The staff are incredible, patient, experienced and trustworthy. They made every day a true delight for our boys and we couldn't possibly be happier with their overall experience. The team help boost the children's confidence every day and has such a warm and caring ethos. Little Day is without a doubt the best nursery around! 10/10.

Our little one has really enjoyed her time at The Finchley Day Nursery. The staff have been great since day one, always friendly and smiling. The nursery enriches the usual activities with a weekly class of drama and one of French. I was so amazed when our daughter came home and started counting to 10 in French!
