    I cannot sing its praise loud enough. Our son has gone from being insecure and hesitant into a confident cheerful chap. He looks forward to attending childcare centre and visiting the farm is the highlight of his day! The patience and adore each member of team gives each individual kid is truly fantastic. Pity there are only 5 stars to give, I’d give them a 10/10 if I could. Finkley Down Farm childcare centre is a remarkable childcare centre.

    The room had been set up ready with all the activities and looked absolutely remarkable, it must have taken the team ages. My grandson and granddaughter were so proud to show me around all the different areas and we soon got stuck in playing with all the toys. The storybook session was also lovely, especially with the magical fairy lights overhead. I look forward to the next stay-and-playtime session. I was invited to the stay-and-playtime session last Friday afternoon and received a very inviting and welcoming welcome from the team.

    Both have really benefitted from being in such a supportive and diverse setting. The range of activities and discovering opportunities is vast and I believe has really helped to develop my kids and ready them for school. I honestly wouldn’t send my kids anywhere else. The outdoorsy ethos is something we really assistance and we adore how much time our daughter spends doing outdoor activities. The yurt is also super terrific! We couldn’t thank you all enough for everything you have done for our kids. It is consistently so evident how important their wellbeing is to the childcare centre team. What more could any parent want? I would just like to say how incredible Finkley Childcare centre has been for both of my daughters.

    They are doing such excellent activities, my baby has completely changed since he started there! They keep us updated all the time, they ask us if there is something that we would like them to work with the kids on! All team are incredible. I am delighted to have my boy there!

    My daughter has followed in her brother’s footsteps and now attends the childcare centre. From her first day, she has hopped and skipped into the childcare centre and each day comes home so cheerful. The girls there are incredible at what they do for the kids. Consistently at the end of a phone and provide excellent information on the planning of each week and so lovely to see how my daughter is developing on the online discovering portal with excellent pictures of her enjoying her days. Thank you to the team for everything you do for our little girl. She adores you and the rest of your remarkable team. Finkley Down Farm Childcare centre really do go above and beyond.

    The ladies have been very supportive and understanding, which makes me sense at ease when my son is in their care. They have excellent updates whether that is via phone, email or the app. The app is excellent, as I can see all the exciting things my son has been doing during the time he is there. They also keep me updated with a daily food diary, as my son is very particular with food, and this has also really helped.
    Overall, I think Finkley is a excellent childcare centre with different weekly themes and lots of enjoyable-packed activities. I highly suggest it! My son started Finkley Childcare centre this year, since he has started, he has come on leaps and bounds!

    We are incredibly cheerful with the care our son receives. I was so excited when we got the email to say our son had a place to start there as I consistently wished for our kid to go there even before they existed – heard incredible things. It has not disappointed us at all! The updates is outstanding, they tell you face to face how the day has been and what they got up to and eaten etc, but you also get updated (with pictures too) at the end of every day on an app. Questions are consistently answered very quickly. Our son only said 3/4 words when started (2 and a half) and required extra assistance he has come on leaps and bounds and at 3 years old now, he’s a real chatterbox! The help with potty training also was exceptional! The facilities are excellent. The amount of activities planned daily look exceptional so much thought and effort. The farm being right next door and being able to go so regularly is lovely! Trips out too! The team are lovely. Honestly, I cannot praise Finkley Down Farm Childcare centre enough.

    The activities the team put on are remarkable and varied. The team are so welcoming and welcoming. My daughter has developed a very close bond with her key worker and I sense they have been instrumental in her development. My daughter absolutely loves going to childcare centre.

    It was the best decision, even though school runs are a lot longer now. She loves this setting and the team. Her key worker is a excellent credit to the childcare centre. Thank you all for your excellent attentive and hard work! My daughter struggled a bit at her previous childcare centre, so we decided to move her over to Finkley.

    I can’t suggest the childcare centre enough and knowing my granddaughter is so well looked after means the world to me. I’ve been to some lovely events organised by the childcare centre and all the team are so lovely and welcoming. My granddaughter started Finkley in August 2021, since then she has come on leaps and bounds!

    A recent Mother’s Day teddy bear picnic was so nice to be able to come onto the setting and have my kid show me where he likes to playtime. Team had put on a lovely picnic and lots of enjoyable activities to playtime, also some making memories art activities to do together. I look forward to another time we might do similar. The team at Finkley Down Farm Childcare centre go above and beyond to provide excellent care and activities for my kid.

    The weekly themes are well-planned based on the kids’s interests and activities are enjoyable and promote age-appropriate skills/discovering. The team at Finkley are attentive and well‑informed. Updates is outstanding. My daughter is thriving in the childcare centre setting. Finkley Childcare centre is a secure and nurturing setting.

    We were very nervous about him attending childcare centre as he has a speech delay and also some separation anxiety due to the pandemic…we need not have been worried as Finkley have been remarkable with him. All the team are so inviting, welcoming and nurturing and his relationship with his key worker has been instrumental in helping him settle into his days at the childcare centre. He loves being able to go to the farm, playtime in the garden and outdoor space and gets involved in the activities – he also does a Language box session every week which really helps us and him with his development in this area and Finkley regularly update us on how he is doing with this and share strategies with us so we can implement at home too. We couldn’t ask for a better place for our son and we’re so confident he is going to go from strength to strength with Finkley. Our son has been at Finkley Down Farm Childcare centre since September 2021.

    We get detailed face-to-face feedback daily and we have really appreciated the childcare centre’s assistance in helping with life skills, such as toilet training. Our son loves attending and as a parent that is key. This is down to the hard work of the team who plan exciting and engaging activities. Recently they have asked the kids to vote for the theme for the following week, which we think is a remarkable idea. The kids have the opportunity to playtime and learn outdoors and regularly attend a farm. Trips there are also well-planned and carefully thought out. The childcare centre communicates so effectively with us and we get regular observations and wow moments about our kid. The team are really so inviting and welcoming and have been so flexible with us as a family, allowing us to pick up extra days when we have needed. We would highly suggest this setting to others! Our son joined the childcare centre in September and the team went out of their way to help him to settle and find out his interests.

    She has so many opportunities there she just wouldn’t get at another childcare centre. Daily trips to the farm, jewellery making, Bug hotel making and that is just in her first week. The updates is exceptional, the resources are remarkable and the team are some of the best you will find. I couldn’t be happier that she is starting her adventure into education at Finkley! Highly recommended! Our daughter recently started at Finkley and she feels so cheerful and comfortable there already it’s fantastic.

    The team are all approachable and lovely and the activities are well planned and all so different. Cannot praise these guys enough. My son is more confident and I will not hesitate putting our second kid into this childcare centre when the time comes. Finkley Down Farm Childcare centre & Pre-school is an incredible setting for the childcare centre and my son absolutely loves attending.

    The team are remarkable. Our son requires additional assistance for his speech and language. Since he has been going to Finkley, this has improved dramatically. It is completely reassuring when dropping him off in the mornings, as he has a exceptional relationship with his key worker. It is excellent to see the variety of activities he is doing as this is shared via a parental app. Finkley is a excellent preschool for kids to make friends, participate in an assortment of activities and general kid development. I could not suggest Finkley highly enough. Our son loves going to Finkley Down Farm Childcare centre.

    Our son has been recently started attending and absolutely loves it! All the team are incredible and we’re kept up to date with all of the daily activities that our son does. Would highly suggest! Cannot rate Finkley high enough!

    I am so cheerful with the choice made and I see major changes in behaviour. They learn new things every day, they are active and involved and go in with pleasure every day. I suggest this childcare centre. A fantastic team, we are lucky and cheerful because our kids can have an education with a lot of patience and dedication from the whole team.

    The assistance they have also given my daughter (her mum) when needed is second to none. I can’t suggest the childcare centre enough and am so cheerful my daughter chose them for our precious granddaughter. My granddaughter is going to be leaving soon to go to school and the childcare centre have given her the best start possible.
