Kids In Motion East Finchley

Movement gives Kids In Motion East Finchley its character: balancing, throwing and catching sit alongside storytelling and art. Based at Grange Community Centre, the nursery takes children from 3 months to 5 years and has capacity for 45 children. Its educational offer puts physical activity alongside imaginative and creative play.

No Ofsted inspection has been published for this setting yet.

Flexible sessions and full-day options provide different ways to organise attendance.

EYFS provides the educational framework, with learning through play, movement and sensory exploration. Alongside it, the group's Learn in Motion approach uses physical activity and hands-on discovery to give toddlers and preschool children ways to explore ideas through doing.

The activities make that approach concrete. Running and hopping practise movement; balancing develops body control; throwing, catching and building involve handling objects. This gives parents a clearer picture of the day than a curriculum name alone.

Storytelling, roleplay and drama give children opportunities to express ideas and practise communication. Guided art activities introduce different textures, materials and colours. Daily outdoor activity adds another setting for exploration and active play, so movement extends beyond indoor activities.

Sensory engagement and imaginative play provide different ways for children to take part. A child can explore materials in an art activity or express an idea through a story or roleplay: participation is broader than physical exercise alone.

Enrichment programmes are included at no extra cost. That places additional activities within the nursery offer rather than making each one a separate purchase.

Sessions and Attendance

Opening hours are 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. Full-day options and flexible sessions are both offered; the opening window describes the nursery's hours rather than specifying the length of every booking.

The nursery operates across the year, closing for bank holidays and two weeks at Christmas. Those closures matter when planning care around work.

Getting There

The address is Grange Community Centre, Red Lion Hill, London, N2 8ED. Families can contact the East Finchley branch by telephone, email or its enquiry form.

Funding and Paid Extras

The nursery offers 30 hours of free childcare funding. Enrichment programmes carry no additional charge, a useful distinction when comparing the activities included in different childcare offers.

• An active day. Movement, daily outdoor activity and sensory exploration shape the offer. During a visit, consider how that balance would suit your child's interests and temperament.
• Your attendance plan. Flexible sessions and full-day options sit alongside the 30-hour funding offer. Ask for a written quotation explaining your intended attendance pattern, how funded hours fit it, and the arrangements for meals and non-food consumables.

Kids In Motion East Finchley suits families seeking either flexible sessions or full-day attendance, with movement threaded through learning. Storytelling, roleplay and art broaden that physical emphasis. The strongest reason to consider it is the concrete activity-based offer, especially for families who want outdoor play and hands-on exploration to feature in their child's day.
