Bright Horizons North Finchley Day Nursery and Preschool

So happy with this nursery, my daughter has been going since she was 1 (she is now 3) and my son (1) started in October this year. The staff in each of the rooms are so lovely and the kids have formed bonds with all the staff, not just their key workers. The variety of activities and the amazing large garden keep them entertained and they have both developed so much during their time there.
I have been impressed with the nursery’s service and support given in the trying circumstances this year. They have given the kids a sense of normality whilst also going over and above to keep their staff and all the kids safe.
My kids are really happy there and love going.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery since last September and although it took her a while to settle, she does now absolutely love it. We recently had a tour of the nursery which was not only really well presented but also I was very pleased to see the whole setup. Having seen a number of nurseries prior to selecting this one it really stands out. It’s very spacious, lots of light, great selection of activities and a huge garden. Our daughter has really grown in confidence since attending. The daily reports are great as well. All her teachers and helpers are very friendly and provide good updates when we go at pick up. Thoroughly recommend this nursery.

Our daughter started the nursery last September, during the challenging time of Covid. As first-time parents, we were nervous as our daughter had experienced limited opportunity to socialise, so was very shy around new people. The nursery did an excellent job at reassuring us of any concerns we had and kept us updated on how she was settling in with regular phone calls during her first few weeks.
All the staff at the nursery are friendly and very nurturing to individual child’s needs and have done an excellent job at supporting our daughter in a new environment. At the end of each day, we are provided with a handover sheet, which details the range of activities that are focused on learning and development. We have seen an increase in our daughter’s skills and confidence as a result, and she especially enjoys the daily garden time. Would highly recommend this nursery.

We are very happy with the nursery and our son loves going there. Kids have a really good environment and the outdoor area is definitely the best I have seen locally. The programme and the variety of learning and activities is balanced really well. We feel relaxed and we trust the team who looks always happy and positive. Our communication with management and staff has been excellent so far. It’s a great place for kids and we are planning to send our second son there soon. Overall we would definitely highly recommend this nursery.

We have found the staff to be very helpful, my daughter has enjoyed going to nursery and speaks fondly of her key workers and other staff members. The team is quick to respond to queries and also deals with any concerns seriously. My daughter very much enjoys the outdoor space and playing with her friends. She has settled very well.

Our daughter started the nursery at 2.5 years old and now it is time to move on to primary school. She has had a very quick settling in period and loved every day at her nursery.
The Staff is warm and communication is good. There is lots of outdoor space to play.
Overall we are very happy with our experience there.

Our son started nursery in April when he was 5.5 months old. So he was very young, and this was also just as everything was coming out of lockdowns. Despite these difficult circumstances the staff made us feel welcome and our son settled in quickly. Over the past months we have started the weaning process and the nursery has been extemely helpful with introducing solids according to a weaning plan agreed between us. Our son now recognises his teacher and clearly is happy being dropped off at nursery.
We really appreciated the handover sheets that described the daily activities which has recently been replaced by an app that also allows for the upload of picture taken in the nursery during daily activities. From these it was also very clear that our son is very happy and enjoys being in the nursery.
We would highly recommend this nursery and thank the staff for all their hard work.

My daughter has been attending Bright Horizons North Finchley since February 2018 and has just left to join school. When we looked around the area at all the nursery this was easily one of the best and there was only one other that came close (but only because it was cheaper)! We picked North Finchley because the nursery was a lovely environment for my daughter with a fantastic garden and staff who cared and nurtured her while she was in their care. She developed socially and has a great foundation before starting school. My second child will be starting the nursery in a few months so I am very happy to recommend.

Excellent nursery, the garden is great and what makes it are the staff. They genuinely care and love the kids and go out of their way to help and make the kids feel loved and settled. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Our daughter attended this nursery from the age of 18 months until she left to start school. We are really pleased with her time at the nursery and would recommend it to anyone. The nursery offers lots of activities, in an open, cosmopolitan and respectful atmosphere and with lots of support for the child based on the child’s needs. The staff are lovely too and make the overall positive experience, with lovely smiling faces on drop off and pick up, to the staff in the rooms and the lovely chef! The nursery manager and the management team are excellent and have navigated the coronavirus pandemic and associated lockdowns and restrictions brilliantly. Overall a fabulous nursery and would recommend it to anyone.

Our daughter is so happy at Bright Horizons North Finchley and has been since the day she started. She loves all the staff, the brilliant activities they do with the children, and the fab facilities. Even though she’s only been there during the pandemic, so we’ve not been able to go inside and see her room. The manager and all the staff have been great at keeping us informed and making us feel part of her nursery life. We would absolutely recommend Bright Horizons North Finchley to anyone for their child.

Our eldest daughter has now been at Bright Horizons for almost three years and I have nothing but positive experiences, the staff have all been lovely throughout and she has grown and developed into a lovely young girl. She’s excited to attend and talks about all her friends and teachers non-stop. Our youngest started during the Covid pandemic which was worrying as we were no longer allowed into the nursery and had to drop her at the door. The staff were so reassuring and welcoming and she settled so quickly into the nursery and has loved it since. The new family app gives a window into what they’re getting up to which has been a lovely addition. The nursery is an extremely nurturing environment with both girls learning so much there and being very well cared for. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking.

Our daughter (four-years-old) has been attending Bright Horizons North Finchley since she was 11 months old. She has been well looked after by caring, kind and enthusiastic staff throughout this time. We have always felt that she is safe, nurtured and happy here – she really enjoys her nursery days and has learnt so much. The nursery has a lovely, warm, family atmosphere; although it’s part of a larger corporate, it feels very personal and intimate. This made it a very easy decision to send our son (one-year-old) here too. The settling-in period was very different due to Covid precautions, but we were amazed at how fast he has settled – he absolutely loves going to nursery and we have seen massive changes in his development already. I am very happy to recommend this nursery.

Very positive experience. Great staff and management. My girl loves the nursery and that’s the most important thing. The staff are so caring and loving. I am so glad that I chose Bright Horizons, North Finchley Nursery and I would definitely recommend it to other families.

This nursery is one of the best, if not the best, nursery in the area! Our daughter moved to Bright Horizons North Finchley Day Nursery and Preschool from another nursery in July last year and she has been extremely happy and I can see a huge jump in her development and confidence since she came to this nursery. We absolutely love it! The room leader does so much to provide the children with the best care and always has great ideas to help the children develop further! Everyone in the nursery truly cares and I feel my daughter is in a safe and happy environment. The outside space is a huge plus at this nursery and allows children to play and explore, which I find fantastic! The facilities are great and my daughter absolutely loves the food at the nursery!

I have been so impressed with Bright Horizons, North Finchley. They have gone above and beyond to make us all feel welcome and part of the Bright Horizons family.
We are greeted every morning with warm smiles and enthusiasm and when my son was settling in they would always call me to let me know how he was getting on.
The app is brilliant and is kept up to date so you know what the children are up to and what they have eaten. We recently went to an open day and they had the most brilliant activities set up for the children which showed me why my son loves going there every day!
The staff are wonderful and warm and come up with brilliant ideas. The chef makes delicious and varied food which my son loves. I really can’t rate it more highly.
