What our parents & pupils have to say
Finches has been my pre school of choice for both my children because of the happy family environment the teachers work so hard on providing the children. New themed activities each week gives me daughter things to look forward to each day as well as the structure of group time, writing activities, French lessons and yoga provides a well rounded environment for learning and play simultaneously.

"I love school because I get to play with all my friends. I love Sandream (Sandrine). I love doing art and making cards and playing in the hairdresser's area. I also love snacks time!"

My Family and I have been part of Finches pre-school since my daughter joined back in 2019. As she left to go to Primary School, my son (then aged 2) joined. Both of them initially joined for just 2 mornings per week so that they got a chance to make friends and gain some independence away from the home. We’ve had a great experience with Finches and I know we will all be so sad to say goodbye to everybody when my son eventually moves on to school as well. It feels like a lovely little community and the staff have shown nothing but love and kindness to both of our children. I am always proud to recommend Finches to anybody I know that’s in search of a new Pre-school.

“I like going to Finches because I love playing with my friends. My Favourite times of the day are snack time and when we go outside to the park or the tennis courts. I like Tuesdays when we learn French; I have learnt to say some words in French like ‘Merci’. I also like it when we sing songs – especially the one about pancakes! Roman, age 4.”

We relocated to the area and viewed numerous childcare establishments in the area before finding Finches. The personal, devoted and professional ethos shines through from the staff to the happy children. My 3yr old settled with ease into the home-style educational setting and every member of staff truly cares.

All 3 of my children have gone to Finches, my youngest has been going since he was 2, he is now 4. All members of staff are welcoming and friendly. There is always something different for him to do and most importantly he loves going! Jennie and her staff really make it fun for all the children as well as having an amazing relationship with all of them.

"We chose Finches based on a very positive recommendation, and are extremely glad that we did. Tatum has thrived at Finches, and just loves going to preschool. They have so much fun everyday and there are so many different activities for the kids to choose from. Tatum feels comfortable there and can really be herself and have fun whilst learning! She has made so many little friends at Finches and always tells me that this is her favourite part of the day - seeing all of her friends. We would highly recommend Finches as a choice for any parents"

"My son, Alfie, started at Finches when he was just over 2; starting with 2 mornings a week .... this soon increased to 5 mornings as he loved going and was sad when it wasn’t a pre-school day! As soon as he turned 3 he stayed for lunch club (on his request).
He started school prepared, confident and happy ... thanks to all the staff at Finches.
After a term at Pre-school I joined the committee and have made some life long friends. I am still on the committee although Alfie left in September as I live in the Village and want to give back to the community for all they do for our children.
The pre-school has been a part of Finchampstead Village for nearly 30 years and is supported by the local community and run for the local children. It’s fun and caring environment to play and learn."
