N Stoke Newington has been rethinking the nursery experience for families since 2017 and was rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2019. Now, the first in our family of Stoke Newington nurseries has been joined by a brand new sister nursery on Church Street, which opened in Autumn 2020.
Our Defoe Road nursery has a whole host of amazing facilities, including our four beautifully-designed, modern playrooms where children are supported to play, learn and explore. Our Church Street nursery has been specifically designed for our younger age groups and features 5 playrooms, a purpose-built art room and an amazing rooftop garden which looks out across Stoke Newington’s skies. All of our over 3s in Stoke Newington 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.
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, Bruner, Forest School and Montessori. 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 the former Head of Nutrition at Jamie Oliver, Laura Matthews, 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.
