Niki couldn't have been more amazing or helpful with my little girl whilst visiting a friend in the hospital at Cheltenham. I can't remember Niki enough. thanks again for all your help.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m so glad I was able to help and had a lovely day with Fawn!
Since our young daughter started at Finn academy nearly a year ago with Niki and Jess she has just grown into such a wonderful little girl! She’s sociable, always excited to go in the mornings, and we have never had tears once. Just big smiles to have fun with everyone each day. She learns so much and her language has developed quickly.
Niki keeps us updated with photos daily and is always happy to let us know her progress.
There is a lovely clean indoor space for the children to play and learn. And an even bigger outdoor space too with lots to do. They even take trips occasionally out and again the photos we get are brilliant.
Best thing we ever did and she will be there until she leaves for school. Makes us feel super comfortable as first time parents going back to work. We Couldn’t be happier to recommend Finn Academy with Nikki 💖💖💖

My son Louis has been going to Finn Acadamy since October and he absolutely loves it! They provide so many fun and exciting activities for the children and regular updates/communication with parents regarding assessment and development. My son loves the rabbits they recently introduced to the children! The communication is second to none, sending photos throughout the day. They also offer flexibility which is amazing for my family as we often need extra days here and there due to self-employment. Louis used to cry at the door of his previous setting and I’d get calls throughout the day saying he would not settle and was upset. From his first day at Finn Acadamy with Niki and Jess, he has run right in excitedly and I have to demand a hug goodbye! 😂
So glad we found you, it’s changed my feelings about childcare from being worried to loving seeing my boy having a good time!

Thank you so much for you kind review! We absolutely love having Louis with us, he’s such a happy and playful little boy ☺️
Finn academy is quite simply the best, my little one has come on so much in such a small amount of time, he has settled in great, since day one he has enjoyed the company of Niki and Jess and the other children and even has himself a little bestie , he gets excited on the days he goes and is straight in there with his friends playing and having a great time, I love receiving the pictures throughout the day, it really puts me at ease as I was so nervous about leaving him with some one else. My son is very happy and settled in Finn academy which makes me very happy.
So thank you both for your great care 😃
