We’re over the moon to have opened our doors in the wonderful community of Forest Hill – home to one of our cultural ‘favourites’ the Horniman museum, and our very own nursery.
Just a 2-minute walk to the station, N Forest Hill is a brand-new, purpose-built nursery with spacious, high-ceilinged playrooms – all of which have direct access to the generous garden. In addition to being soaked in natural light, the nursery rooms support every aspect of our bespoke curriculum and benefit from clean air – thanks to our hi-spec air filtration system.
We’re all about making things easier for our families and our buggy store does just the trick – providing a safe place for you to leave your buggy until pick-up. Even better, our N Café will serve (much needed!) coffees and pastries, meaning you’ll be set up for the day in just the right way!

Fees are due in advance, and we issue invoices mid-month for the following month with Direct Debits taken on the 27th of each month. For Payments via Tax-Free childcare or Childcare Vouchers, fees are due by the last day of the month. Unfortunately there can be no refunds for sickness or holidays. Any fee increases will be communicated 2 months before affecting your invoice and are based on the nursery’s running costs.
You can extend the standard day (8-6pm) by up to an hour each way at the same hourly rate on a pay as you go basis - i.e. £10.50/hr for under 3s or £9.45/hr for 3 years+; equivalent to £2.63/15mins or £2.36/15mins.
To join the waiting list at N, families are required to pay a waiting list registration fee of £350
On accepting a place, this fee will become a non-refundable joining fee, and you’ll be asked to pay a £400 place acceptance fee, which will be deducted from your final invoice.
