Our kid has recently started the nursery, and nursery's team and management were so attentive, understanding, patient and supportive that our daughter felt calm and confident after the first week already. All the team supported her and us, the parents, as well, making the settlement process easy and pleasant for the whole family. Every day is full of fun activities, muddy plays,songs and crafts. And our daughter is always curious what tasty food she is going to get. Healthy menu and a variety of dishes are definitely outstanding benefits and a strong contribution to healthy habits. The Little Raccoons nursery has become a second home for our daughter, she feels happy meeting her favourite teachers Janice, Osab, and Daniela and being with them. And we are grateful to the manager Gillian and the other team members for the efficient work, professionalism and for creating this homely safe atmosphere for our daughter and the other kids. It's a place where everyone is smiling and ready to play and take care of little ones.
Read on GoogleLittle Raccoons Finchley is the place where every parent would love to keep his/her baby. We were worried about our daughter starting the nursery so young, It is not easy for a parent leave their baby the first time with people that you don’t know yet, but at Little Raccoons Finchley you feel like at home, the staff took care of her and we felt in good hands from the first day. We have seen our daughter making a lots of progress from the day one, and she was always happy to be at the nursery. The members of the staff are always kind, they are friendly and caring. We feel like we couldn’t find a better nursery for our daughter. We strongly recommend LRF
