“I have had the pleasure of knowing Emily for many years and I am so excited for her new venture. Emily is warm, kind and caring with a love of the great outdoors. Having taught a wide age range of children, from nursery age up to primary age , as well as her experience of teaching in Scandinavian schools, children in her care will absolutely thrive. What could be better than a day with a small group of children, highly qualified adults, feeding the animals, collecting eggs, climbing trees and enjoying time in a rich learning environment? I wish Emily and the team well and know any child attending Finca will have a fantastic start to their early education.”

“Choosing childcare is a really big decision and it has a huge impact on a child's future. Finca offers something different - a teacher with a wealth of early years experience, a small group of children, a home from home setting and it's situated on a working farm. The location is absolutely gorgeous. Returning to work after maternity leave is so hard for parents, but knowing that your child is in a small, calm, nurturing and beautiful environment is so important.”

“Finca truly is an extrordinary childcare setting - I thank my lucky stars everyday that we found this place for our little boy when we re-located to Somerset. This being our third child, we’ve had quite a bit of experience with various nurseries/preschools/childminders and Finca tops them all easily.
Emily, Tegan, Chloe and Alison are wonderful - extremely friendly, nurturing and professional and really take the time to get to know each child, their interests and sensitivities. Their whole approach and daily activities, which focus on getting kids outdoors in the beautiful Finca surroundings is exactly what we were after for our child, and lives up to the countryside-living dream I had envisaged! Getting to know the other Finca families through Emily’s events is the icing on the cake. I can’t sing their praises enough! Highly recommended.”

“I honestly don’t think that we could send our son to a better nursery. Our son absolutely LOVES attending and talks endlessly about it at home. The whole ethos runs through every piece of Finca, from the family style eating, to the Finca family events, the chickens, the outdoors - honestly I couldn’t wish for more. If you’re looking for high quality childcare, where your child will be nurtured as an individual and feel like part of a caring family, whilst exploring nature - Finca is the place for you!”
