N Defoe Road has been rethinking the nursery experience for families since 2017 and was rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2019. The first in our family of N nurseries was then joined by a sibling nursery on Church Street, which opened in Autumn 2020.
Together these nurseries mark a major milestone in our journey to create an early years experience like no other. Both spaces are dedicated to our families, as a place to meet and relax as well as learn and grow, with a combined nursery/parents’ area, rooftop garden and a programme of exciting monthly events for all the family.
Download brochureN Defoe Road, our Ofsted Outstanding nursery, is a converted church hall with four thoughtfully designed modern classrooms for our preschoolers. It has awe-inspiring facilities, designed to support children as they play, learn and explore. It is committed to serving our older children and providing an exceptional learning environment as they prepare for school. All of our over 3s have the opportunity to engage and gain an understanding of the great outdoors with our Forest School-inspired sessions – held daily, regardless of the weather.
N Church Street is purpose-built for babies and toddlers. The nursery is a home-from-home where our teams create the best possible start in life for our children and their families. The impressive space boasts an amazing rooftop garden which looks out across Stoke Newington, 5 playrooms, an N library and a purpose-built atelier for messy and creative learning.
Our standard day is 8am – 6pm, with an option to extend this by an hour to ensure flexibility for our families.
Inspirationally designed, with specialist activity rooms and the latest air purifying technology.
Our Defoe Road over 3s do Forest School-inspired sessions for 2 hours every day, whatever the weather.
Beat the cafe queues and pick up a coffee as you drop-off.
Our meals are nutritionist designed and freshly prepared on-site.
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
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.
Parents can assess their eligibility for funding and the application process by visiting the Government Childcare Choices website.
