Our impact | N Family Club

N Family Club was founded to rethink early years education. Since opening the doors of our first London nursery in 2017, we have been having a positive impact on our children, families and team.

As N grows, our impact grows, and we don’t take this responsibility lightly. Our impact report celebrates the big and small wins, tracks our progress and holds us to account for the impact we make on the planet and the people around us.

Here are some of the report highlights, or click here to the full report.

We’re officially B Corp certified!

We’re proud to announce that we’re officially B Corp™ certified, and the highest scoring B Corp™ in the UK’s pre-school and primary education sector!

We’ve always strived to be a company that not only provides a high quality of education and experience, but believes in doing it in a way that best benefits our team, our community and the planet. This week, we’ll be showcasing our team’s our efforts to be Better, and achieve the highest standards of social and environmental impact.

Positive futures

The experiences children have between birth and age 5 have a lasting impact that shapes their lives. The relationships, experiences and environments of those first five years are pivotal. We’re proud of the outstanding impact we make on children’s lives every day and are excited with how many more futures we can positively impact as N expands.

Having launched our Positive Futures Bursary Scheme last year, we have now welcomed the first recipients – offering 7 fully funded places in 2022, with many more to come.

Planet

We believe that activism and impact on social and environmental issues should not be the niche, but the norm. Our curriculum is designed to build the curiosity, confidence, capability and compassion for our children to become informed and inspired changemakers. In particular, one of our key four pillars, ‘Global Responsibility’, includes a heavy environmentalism focus.

2022 saw us achieve our first Eco-Schools Green Flags, the perfect way to celebrate the ecological achievements of our children and teams.

People

To provide outstanding education, you need outstanding people and outstanding people deserve the best.

In 2022 we made a significant investments into our team’s development with brand new leadership programmes for Room Managers and Deputy Managers. We also launched The N Partnership –welcoming our managers and leaders on as business shareholders.

For 2023 we have made a significant investment into salaries for our team, to make sure that they are rewarded for the work they do, and can cope in the cost of living crisis.

War Child

As well as supporting children in our local communities, we will be continuing our support for children across the globe through our War Child partnership.

All too often education is an easy target during armed conflict. The money we donate to War Child is mainly directed to their Early Learning and Development Centres, providing education to a generation who face a constant threat of violence and are growing up without the opportunity to learn.

Over the last four years N has donated over £170,000 to support the work of War Child across six countries, including Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine. We look forward to deepening this partnership in the years to come.
