Why N Blackheath?
Situated within the Blackheath conservation area, our nursery is nestled on Blackheath Grove in an imposing and characterful former sorting office – a handy 3-minute walk from the railway station and a stone’s throw from the bustling Montpelier Vale.
Eight large playrooms are spread across two floors, each dedicated to hosting babies, toddlers, and preschoolers for N Curriculum learning. The atelier – our specialised studio for art, cooking and baking – is where our wonderfully messy N Extra activities come to life!
Outside, to the side of the nursery, is a generous garden complete with a baby area, a messy play zone for mud kitchen and Forest School-inspired learning experiences, and a free play area for scooters and tricycles – perfect for unleashing energy and encouraging a love of outdoor play.
We’re all about making things easier for our families, and the indoor buggy, bike and scooter stores mean you can head off hands-free after drop-off. Even better, why not enjoy our welcoming N café – serving (much-needed!) coffee, tea, and snacks, meaning you’ll be set up for the day in just the right way!

Rethinking Early Years Education
Here at N, we’re on a mission to rethink early years, offering a fresh educational outlook to prepare children for life in the modern world. Working with leading early years experts, we’ve blended our own unique curriculum, taking influence from a variety of learning philosophies including Reggio Emilia and Bruner. We were recently named the UK’s highest quality nursery group and we believe that our bespoke approach, combined with the learning outlined by the EYFS, supports all of our children to play and explore, be active learners and critical thinkers.
Our bespoke curriculum is split into four key pillars of learning:
Holistic health
Self expression
Global responsibility
Inventive ideas
Menu
We’ve worked with experts to make sure that we deliver a balanced menu that supports every child’s developmental needs. Our chefs prepare fresh meals in our cafe kitchen, everyday.

Whilst the Government funding is structured for 38 weeks of the year (term time), our places are for 51 weeks of the year and so the funded hours are stretched over the 51 weeks that we’re open. Applied over 51 weeks, the funding equates to 11.18 hours per week. The same principle applies for the 30 hour funding.
Families can assess their eligibility for funding and the application process by visiting the Government Childcare Choices website.
