You wont find a better nursery than The Finchley!
My niece currently attends and my nephew attended a few years ago. This is a home away from home for us and the staff now feel like family!
The love and care all the staff have shown throughout is a true testament to how amazing the team are at
The Finchley.
The settling is processes and room transitions were smooth and they were and are always excited and happy to go in and excited about the days activities.
This really is an incredible nursery and it is so comforting to our family to know they are in the best hands!

We couldn't be happier with the care our son receives at The Finchley Nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly kind, caring and welcoming and the level of warmth and attention makes such a difference. The quality of care is truly exceptional. Our son feels safe, happy and
valued every single day, which gives us complete peace of mind as parents.
The activities provided are wonderfully varied and exciting. Each day is filled with engaging opportunities for learning and play, encouraging creativity, confidence, and curiosity. The structured routine gives the children stability and helps them thrive, while still allowing plenty of fun and exploration. Communication with parents is excellent. We are always kept well-informed about our son's day, his progress and any important updates.

My son has attended for over nine months now and has a wonderful time which is the main thing I need from a Nursery. The staff all seem lovely and trustworthy and get to know the children well. They send nice updates so you know what your child has been up to. I would like it if they did a few more
outings to the woods or something, but otherwise they seem to have a good range of activities. The garden is quite small but the kids still do lots of different things. They are also very helpful with potty training. Thank you!

I am thoroughly impressed with the nursery! The staff are amazing - warm, caring, and truly dedicated to providing a nurturing environment for the children.
The learning opportunities are great and I love how they're tailored to each child's unique needs and interests.
The outdoor space is
great, the children get plenty of fresh air and exercise, the equipment is well-maintained and stimulating, for example their mud kitchen and sand pit in the baby garden!
But what really sets this nursery apart is the communication, they are fantastic at liaising with us.
The management team is very involved and approachable.
The team keep us informed about my child's daily activities and progress through a great online app and we receive daily photos too.
The nursery organise many different events to celebrate everyone's culture within the nursery.
Overall, I'm thrilled with the nursery and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a high-quality early years setting.

Where do I start?! What an amazing nursery with such a bubbly and caring team. My now 17 month old joined The Finchley back in December, he had such an amazing settling experience, all the staff were so supportive with myself as I was a bit nervous. My son is absolutely THRIVING at nursery, he is
learning so many new things. He is thoroughly enjoying all the fun messy play activities along with their extra curricular activity such as Drama, my son LOVES music and is having a blast during these sessions. The baby garden is a perfect size, so much room to run around and explore different things such as a big sand pit area and mud kitchen along with all the fun toys they set up daily. I cannot thank all the lovely staff members in his room enough! Along with all the staff members I have met so far, what an amazing job you are all doing! Very very friendly and nurturing environment for my little boy. Thank you The Finchley!

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.
29 September 2025
We have found the staff at Little Garden very nurturing and accommodating.
Our little one loves coming, he is has built a nice relationship with the staff, who we can see really care about him.
We are very happy.

15 September 2025
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.
11 September 2025
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
09 September 2025
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.
04 September 2025
A truly wonderful nursery with caring, dedicated staff who create a warm and welcoming environment. he activities are fun, creative and educational, and the team supports each child's growth with patience and genuine care. Communication is excellent, and it's clear the childrens happiness and
development are the top priority. Highly recommend.

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.
26 August 2025
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.
26 August 2025
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!
18 March 2025
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.
