The Rocking Horse is a privately owned and family run, registered children’s day nursery located in a quiet residential street in Finchley Central, London. The nursery is within walking distance of the beautiful grounds of Avenue House, Victoria Park and Finchley Central underground station.

The setting, a large Edwardian house with extensive gardens has been transformed and equipped to offer the highest standards of care for children aged between three months and five years in line with National Standards, the Early Years Foundation Framework and parental aspirations.

Children are cared for in a loving, safe, and happy environment. Cognitive, linguistic, spiritual, social, emotional and physical development is promoted through a variety of activities thus enabling children to fully explore their individual capabilities.
