Magic Daycare Nursery (Finchley)
Magic Nursery Finchley
My daughter started at Magic just after her second birthday. I was extremely apprehensive about her starting nursery as she previously had always been at home with me and was quite a shy child. As soon as I visited the nursery I knew that it was the right choice for me and more importantly my daughter.
I was offered several stay and play sessions and 2 settling sessions prior to my daughter's start date to help her get used to the environment.
Almost immediately I noticed improvements in my daughters speech and communication, and now 2 years later she is a confident, self assured and independent little girl with help from the staff at Magic.
Unfortunately my daughter will be leaving Magic shortly to start her new educational journey at school but she has gained amazing skills and character from her time at Magic!
If you are looking for a safe and secure environment where your child will learn valuable skills I recommend Magic!

A warm, friendly and welcoming nursery
My daughter started attending Magic2 at 11 months old in 2012. We were given plenty of opportunity to visit prior to starting with stay and play sessions in addition to the settling in sessions. She settled in well with the wonderful support and attention from staff. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching her develop over the last year by attending Magic. She is now in the toddler room. We are always given thorough feedback about her day including meticulous details about how much she has eaten and what times her nappy was changed as well as her activities during the day. This is extremely reassuring. When I collect her, she is always busy playing and always looks happy and excited.
A highly recommended nursery with wonderful, friendly and approachable staff.

Brilliant nursery
My son started at Magic at 9 months, only leaving the nursery as we are moving from the area. We are really sad to leave as everything about the nursery has been fantastic. The care, support, learning, food, interest and general environment is brilliant. It has been a pleasure seeing my son grow and develop through the nursery. The roof gardens are a real bonus - meaning that as much as is possible the children are outside. We cannot speak highly enough of the nursery, environment and staff.

Excellent - highly recommend
On relocation to London our daughter missed her old home and nursery every day while initially with another nursery here. It was only when we moved her to Magic 2 that she found herself and felt settled. The staff are caring and attentive, always positive and helped her to settle quickly and easily, on her first day she felt at home. They provide excellent activities to help the children develop, and the staff have a genuine bond with the children. I would definitely recommend and use again.

fantastic provider for all ages
My daughter has been attending magic2 since it opened after transferring from magic daycare in whetstone. I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The staff are fantastic and attend to each childs individual needs. I feel my daughter has learnt so much, and grown academically. The facilities are perfect for fun learning with the secure roof garden and slide down into the next room. I would recommend this nursery to any parent who wishes for their child to settle into a lovely environment

Fantastic - lovely staff
My son started at 6 months and I was very nervous. They were so understanding and put me at ease and my son just loved it. Every day when I picked him up, even though he couldnt talk, I just tell that he had a lovely time. The nursery was always so clean and the staff so lovely and kind. An excellent place, I would give it my highest recommendation.

Fantastic caring nursery
Magic2 was our first nursery experience and a brilliant one. William has really enjoyed his time at the nursery - the facilities are fantastic and staff so caring and helpful. It's so hard finding a nursery that feels 'right' but Magic2 was the one for us and we going to really miss it (only leaving because we are moving out of the area - wish we could take it with us!). Geri and her team are brilliant. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery.

My daughter LOVES this nursery.
My Daughter Freya (20 months now) started at Magic 2 nursery in Finchley shortly after it opened, and cannot get enough. The care provided is absolutely excellent, with each child having a key worker who provides special attention. Activities and meals are varied and always good. The facilities are lovely, with an outside area and a variety of equipment, and the staff are amazing. My daughter loves being there and often doesn't want to leave! Highly recommended, especially by my daughter!

kind, genuine, stimulating, devoted, educational
Magic Nursery have looked after our 18month old for the past 6 months, they have always been extremely caring and all the staff are chatty and honest about what goes on during the morning sessions when our daughter is there.
they try new play ideas and enjoy our daughters personality and know her well.

Excellent care for young children
My son has attended Magic Nursery in Finchley since it opened in September 2011. He is very happy there. The staff are caring and nurturing, the facilities are excellent and his development has increased considerably since he has been attending. I receive daily verbal reports on his progress and monthly written reports. I have complete trust that his physical, emotional and developmental needs are being met when he is at Magic.
