The nursery is great and my daughter is absolutely thriving! She has been there from the baby room at 1 year old and is now really happy in pre school. The staff are great as are the activities that they do with the kids and support that she gets.

My daughter has been coming to Bright Horizons for just over half a year now and loves coming to her nursery. She used to cry and make a face when being dropped off but now she runs across to her teachers and peers. She loves the messy play and the pictures that they send us truly show her enjoyment. We've seen her develop so quickly over the last few months from her first words, walking and fully eating independently. I can't thank enough that the staff are doing for her and I can see she's in a happy and safe environment.

Great staff very helpful and nurturing always delightful greeting the children - my daughter comes home having learnt new things every session. The nursery is always nice and clean and the outdoor space is perfect for the ages.

Bright Horizons Finchley Central Day Nursery and Preschool has been amazing in caring for our son over the past few years. The staff are loving, dedicated, and work seamlessly as a team. They go above and beyond to provide the care, guidance, and attention he needs. It's a wonderful, well-run place that I highly recommend to others in the area.

Bright Horizons has cared so well for our son over the last few years, it's been a blessing to have them nurture and educate him, repeatedly going the extra mile and making sure he is getting the stimulation, guidance and personal care which can be very demanding from a little boy. The staff are loving, personally invested and work amazingly as a team, with respect for each other, the parents and children, it really is a great find and excellently run, and would highly recommend it to others in the area.

The nursery is amazing, my daughter is so loved and so happy there. The naturalness, warmth and love from the staff are everything it’s a real family! And they are so personal and such a brill team! My duaghter is happy every day she says nursery was fun! She has lots of friends and is unturned and cared for beyond belief! We love Bright Horizons Finchley Central and the key amazing members. They help us with everything no matter what.

All the lovely staff were part of our sons' development and 1st stages back in the UK and helped prepare them for school through creative and educational activities. I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for my sons.

My daughter has attended Bright Horizons Finchley Central Day Nursery and Preschool since she was 8 months old. In the 4 years of her attending, there has been quite a few changes of management and staff. With that said, the current management and staff employed there now are fantastic. They always lend a listening year and give great advice when your child reaches a new milestone. They are attentive, caring and knowledgable and really spend time to get to know the children and their likes/dislikes. My daughter has graduated pre-school and will go off to Reception in September - the nursery have given her the stepping stones to be confident and school ready. My second daughter will also start there at the end of the month (8months old too!) and I look forward to her starting her educational journey there. I highly recommend Bright Horizons Finchley Central Day Nursery to all new parents. It’s always hard finding a setting that your child will enjoy but seeing how my daughter has flourished alongside her peers, I have no doubt all children will do well under their care.

The clothes are stolen and the staff then ignores inquiries. The headmaster only exists as a weekly email update that is copy-pasted from the previous weeks. Her deputy is rude. Definitely not the quality of management you would expect associated with the name of Bright Horizons.

My eldest has been here since September 2019 and is finishing preschool. My youngest joined in March 2022 and is now in Toddler Room. Both love going here (and will tell you exactly this if asked!) They enjoy everything offered – the music, dancing, storytelling, art, being in the garden, mealtimes, as well as phonics, maths, show and tell for my oldest and sensory play for my youngest. The staff here have always been incredibly knowledgeable and kind to them, as such, they feel comfortable learning here. We receive photos of the activities they do and staff always take time to answer any questions, tell us what they have enjoyed and if they have learnt something new. My eldest says of her time “I love playing with my friends here and I get stickers when I’m good. I also LOVE my teachers and they run lots of wonderful and fun activities for me and my friends. The food is yummy and I always eat everything. Thank you for having me and I will miss you when I go to my new school.”

Very hardworking and caring staff. Nursery is very clean, bright and spacious. My son loves going there. In the early days of his attendance, staff put every effort to make him feel at home and now he wanders around in nursery like a king. Nursery is providing a fun learning experience. My son is 2 years old now and already he has developed a habit to put everything in order and in the correct place. Administration is very friendly and cooperative. They are always welcoming to discuss and keen to address my concerns. The energy and the positivity of the staff, even at the end of the day, inspires me a lot. When I go to pick him up and see him laughing and playing around, it's so comforting to know that he is happy here. Thank you so much for providing such good care and affection to my son. I am very satisfied and happy that I chose this place for my son.

We have had a wonderful experience here. Both as parents and for our child. From day one the nursery helped us as parents to feel confident and coached us through all the developmental changes our child was going through. We have seen incredible improvements in our child's development since they were a baby there, and continue to be delighted with their progress.

We can see the nursery keeps growing and improving in the past 2 years. Our kid is happy there, building up relationships with key worker and friends. When there is trouble with kid’s development, nursery helps to explain or create a scenario to let kid understand more. We can see our kid’s transforming.

A caring and lovely environment. The children appear to thrive and always enjoy themselves. The management has turned around since my child's arrival and the staff seem happy and motivated. Thank you for nurturing our children in their early years.

My child is currently in the preschool room which is absolutely amazing! There’s been loads of improvement made. The teachers are so loving and caring. They understand my child’s needs and tailor-made some learning materials for him. What’s most impressive is how they have prepared my child for school and we believe he will have a smooth transition to school in September.

One of the best nurseries in Finchley Central! My daughter adapted quite well and in a short time. The facility is very spacious and well equipped. The management is flexible and very professional. The staff are nice and friendly

We have recently moved and the team and staff were so flexible with date changes and helping to settle our daughter in. We wanted to stay with Bright Horizons as we had such a positive experience before and we are so happy we did.
