I can't recommend this nursery enough. We chose it initially because we heard great reviews from friends and the building is lovely and light with big windows and lots of outdoor space with big trees. We were sad to say goodbye after three years as the staff had become part of our family. Always so friendly and supportive, we always felt like our son was in the best hands. Even now he is in school we have been back to say hi. The staff clearly care so much about the kids and go the extra mile to make them feel comfortable and loved which is all you can wish for as a parent.

We couldn't be happier with Bright Horizons Finsbury Park Day Nursery and Preschool! Our daughter has blossomed since starting at 1 year old. Now at 3 and a half, her learning and development is amazing - a true testament to the engaging nursery activities. The staff's genuine care shines through, and the management is always supportive. The family days are a wonderful touch, creating lasting memories. We feel incredibly lucky to have found this gem. It's where little ones truly thrive!

We could not be happier with our experience at this nursery. Having had bad experiences with nurseries for my eldest, I was scared at first but soon saw how happy my little boy was so quickly and how they helped settle him in. The environment is bright, clean and welcoming and my little boy loves it there. The staff are truly amazing with all of the kids, caring and attentive to each child's needs. The level of care they provide goes above and beyond, making each child feel valued and supported. The unique curriculum is enriching, focusing on a variety of skills. The staff are so creative and children enjoy doing the activities in rooms that are well-equipped and planned to make them thrive. I also like how we're kept updated through the app so we get to see what our little ones are getting up to. I have noticed how well my little boy has improved educationally too and how advanced he is. I am truly grateful for the exceptional care and education my little one receives.

I couldn't recommend Bright Horizons Finsbury Park Day Nursery and Preschool more highly. Both our daughter and son absolutely love it and have made wonderful friends. All the nursery staff are so kind and thoughtful and make a huge effort to get to know everyone. It feels like a family and a very supportive one at that. They say you need a village to raise a child - and for us, Bright Horizons has been just that. Our daughter has just left and is off to school, feeling very well prepared. The nursery do a graduation ceremony that is testament to how special a place it is - all the children are made to feel so proud of everything they have achieved. I'd be feeling sad to be saying goodbye were it not for my son still being there - with two more years left. We can't wait to see him develop at Bright Horizons too. I've been recommending the nursery to all my friends in the area.

Bright Horizons Finsbury Park Day Nursery and Preschool is a great nursery and I cannot recommend them enough. Our son always looks forward to going and playing with his friends. They have outside space all around the building so the kids are outside when it's dry. They also do a lot of creative activities and even surprised that our son can write his own name! An additional great thing is that the staff are open to babysitting. This has been a game-changer for us. The staff are amazing and really go the extra mile for the kids and parents.

Bright Horizons Finsbury Park Day Nursery and Preschool have been amazing! We get regular photo updates of all the activities they take part in and quick catch-ups with the staff each day who know the kids inside and out and have a real affection for each of the kids in their care - we couldn't ask for better staff. There is a robust curriculum but students are supported at their own speed of development and I was pleased to see that our kids were learning their letters and phonetics much earlier than some of the other nurseries. My son is now able to read some words, write a few words, do simple addition and subtraction and has a real love of learning. He has fortnightly themes, such as space and mini beasts, and eagerly comes home and tells us all about the planets and about the spaceship the class built or wants to continue the hunt for minibeasts. There are events for the kids and parents throughout the year to really build a sense of community and fun! Highly recommend.

It's hard to imagine a better place for my children to have been over the past two years. The climate of childcare is difficult and Bright Horizons Finsbury Park Day Nursery and Preschool has absolutely thrived regardless. Where friends with children in other nurseries have experienced poor communication, high staff turnover etc., we have had nothing but fantastic experiences: the app is well used and regularly updated, the staff are incredibly knowledgeable about child development and my children are as happy as they are at home. They are surrounded by exceptional kindness always. I was worried about a "corporate" style nursery but what my children got was an absolutely super smooth-running nursery with a curriculum that inspired interest outside of nursery in so many new things. Any sad drop-offs are immediately fixed with a cuddle from one of the brilliant staff - no child is left sad for a moment. I wouldn't leave them with anyone else. Cannot recommend strongly enough.

The team at Bright Horizons Finsbury Park Day Nursery and Preschool go above and beyond to create a nurturing and supportive environment. Their genuine care and dedication are evident in every interaction, making us feel confident that our child is in the best possible hands. The staff always take the time to get to know each child individually, ensuring that they feel valued and understood. It's clear that the staff are not just skilled professionals but also deeply passionate about what they do. They have created a vibrant and engaging atmosphere where children can thrive and parents can have peace of mind. That being said, I would like to point out areas of improvement: - Cleanliness in kids' rooms. - Stronger efforts to safeguard against antisocial behaviour happening outside of the nursery (ensuring every parent rings, working with the council to improve the area outside). - More photos/updates during the day (oftentimes, the tablet isn't working so these cannot be uploaded).

Finsbury Park Day Nursery provides a happy and educational environment for my daughter. The staff are very friendly and she speaks highly of them. The building is clean and spacious, and the class sizes are not too large. There is good interaction with parents regarding the child's daily experience and overall performance. Photos are updated to the app on a daily basis giving you an insight into your child's experience. I highly recommend the nursery.

Our daughter attended this nursery between the ages of 10 months and 3 years and 3 months. We loved it, as did she. Even though we moved a 30-minute journey away when she was two we continued to 'commute' for 18 months because the staff is wonderful, the management is efficient and caring and the facilities are excellent. We would highly recommend this to anyone looking to give their child the best possible start in life.

My kids are happy and if I come to pick them up earlier than usual, they ask me to wait in the lobby to finish their activity. It is so reassuring to know they enjoy it so much. The staff really give it their all to make them happy (for smaller ones) and to help them get ready for school (for bigger ones).

We have been really pleased with our experience at Bright Horizons Finsbury Park so far. The team are so friendly, kind, caring and engaged with all the children, even across different age groups, and this has been consistent across the three rooms our son has progressed through. He seems to love his time there, walking in happily himself most days and often seeming reluctant to leave at the end of each (sometimes very long!) day. There is an excellent range of activities for the children and parents and a real community spirit - we can't thank the staff enough!

Our son has been attending Bright Horizons Finsbury Park for almost a year and a half. As many parents can attest to finding a nursery for their child can be a true headache. We have been so happy to have decided to send our child to Bright Horizons. Everyone there is exceptionally warm, professional, and caring, they create a secure and loving environment for children. They are dedicated to engaging kids with exciting activities, and with their extensive outdoor space, children can run, explore and enjoy the fresh air, this level of engagement and freedom was very important for us. We recommend them highly to any future parents or parents moving to the area!

Very happy with our overall experience with Bright Horizons. Communication is very good, and my child is very well supported in all aspects of her development. All staff are very friendly and professional.

We have been very satisfied with Bright Horizons Finsbury Park, our son is very happy there and we feel he is learning well. The staff are very caring and attentive, and there is a lovely inclusive nature with the events they put on for children and adults. The outside space is good.
06 March 2023
We've had an incredible experience. The staff have been supportive, responsive, attentive and proactive. All of the staff have formed amazing bonds with my children, and I feel like the nursery is managed incredibly well. We will be sad when our children move on from the nursery as it has helped to nurture our children's confidence and love of learning.
01 March 2023
We are very happy with Bright Horizons Finsbury Park. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We felt very supported when our son was settling in and feel well-informed about most of his development.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for almost two years and we could not be happier. Everybody is so great, caring and patient (with us parents too!) and I can see she looks forward to going to nursery in the morning and I feel serene in leaving her. All the staff takes the time to know every child. The nursery manager knows everything that goes on with a child and if there is a problem, she will present it in the most caring but resolute way. The food is great (lots of veggies), the spacious rooms are always clean and tidy and the children spend a lot of time outside in a big garden when weather allows. My daughter has learnt so much in these years - they do loads of activities and post about them on the app regularly. One thing I am particularly happy about is the fact that they regularly organize events for parents, becoming the centre of a community where you can meet other parents and have fun! Overall, we had an excellent experience and I would recommend this nursery 100%.

Both of my children have come to Finsbury Park, Bright Horizons. My sons have made strong bonds with the children and some members of the staff. Treatment has always been brilliant. Every time that we've reached them with queries or request such as extending days or additional days, they have been very accommodating and attentive.
13 February 2023
We cannot fault the nursery. All the staff are warm, kind and inspirational. There are many leaders within the nursery who promote independent and group learning for our child. It is a diverse and inclusive learning environment. The nursery uses a variety of tools to promote learning - celebrating festivals, going on community visits and outdoor play, to ensure a holistic approach to the curriculum. All questions or concerns are answered and addressed in a timely fashion. In a word - excellent !
