Kidz Kabin Pembroke Studios in Muswell Hill, established in 2011, offers a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged 6 months to 5 years. This purpose-built facility features three distinct rooms tailored to different age groups: the Blue Room for babies aged 6 months to 2 years, the Yellow Room for toddlers aged 2-3 years, and the Green Room for preschoolers aged 3-5 years, each designed to support developmental milestones.
The nursery emphasises a holistic approach to early education, incorporating playful discovery and real-world learning through diverse activities such as sensory play, creative arts, physical activity, and outdoor exploration in their secret garden and during forest school sessions. Meals are prepared daily by on-site chefs, promoting healthy eating habits.
The dedicated team, led by founder Linda Symons, focuses on fostering confidence, strong relationships, and a love for learning in a supportive community setting.

Inspector highlights
Areas to develop
Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents praise the welcoming and dedicated staff.
They say their children make excellent progress and successfully transition from the babies to toddlers groups.
Inclusion & environment
Children with additional needs are supported exceptionally well. The deputy manager, who is also the special educational needs coordinator (SENCo), works closely with the local early years adviser. She has good links with other special provision in the community. She ensures children making less than expected progress are quickly identified. Children receive good, targeted support with input from professionals.
Staff use the outdoor areas well to promote children's physical health. Babies enjoy rocking on see-saws and excitedly practise throwing and catching with balls, while older children boldly navigate challenging obstacle courses.
I have had two children attend this nursery, and they both loved it. The staff are warm, supportive, and genuinely care about the children in their care. One of my children has behavioural challenges, and the team were incredibly understanding and attentive to his needs. They made sure he felt comfortable, supported, and included every day. As a parent, feeling confident and safe leaving your children somewhere is so important, and that’s exactly how this nursery made me feel. I always knew my children were in good hands. I’m very grateful for everything the nursery has done for my family and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a nurturing, supportive, and trustworthy place for their little ones.

Read on GoogleMy son recently finished nursery at Kidz Kabin, and we’re honestly so happy with the experience. It’s been lovely seeing how much he’s grown in confidence, made friends, and looked forward to going in every day. The team there clearly care deeply about the children. They’re kind, approachable, and create a space that feels really welcoming—not just for the kids, but for parents too. He also loved the variety in their breakfast options 😊 , which made mornings much easier!
Read on GoogleWe recently moved into the area and we're lucky to have been able to move our son from another Kidz Kabin site to the Pembroke Studios location. The whole team made the transition easy for both our toddler and his apprehensive parents! We have been so impressed by the care and attention shown by all staff, from the back office to those in the classrooms. We know that he's well looked after and having a wonderful educational journey at nursery every day.
Read on GoogleOver the past number of years, Kidz Kabin has been such a huge and cherished part of our lives. From the moment my daughter started in the Blue Room, I could see and feel what a truly special place Linda and her incredible team have created. Both of my children have now been through Kidz Kabin, from the Blue to Yellow and then to the Green Room, and I honestly can't praise the nursery and tremendous staff enough. Kidz Kabin Pembroke Road is an incredible, warm, caring, fun and happy nursery in Muswell Hill. Every day, without fail, the team are bright and cheery and they greet the children with such energy, kindness and genuine affection. It's clear how strong the bonds are between the staff and children. The activities are excellent and so thoughtfully and creatively planned. Highlights for my son included PE Day, trips to the local park, woods and library, drawing dinosaurs, making paper aeroplanes and having so much fun with his friends. I was so impressed when he brought home his activity sheet one day, as he had written his name! Kidz Kabin nursery strikes the perfect balance between play and early learning and I love this. Both of my children transitioned so easily from Kidz Kabin to school and they're absolutely thriving. A huge shout out to the team - Kayleigh, Pam, Edina, Brogan, Shizuka - and of course, there are so many more names. Keep on doing what you're doing because you really are excelling! So if you are considering nurseries in Muswell Hill for your little one, I would wholeheartedly recommend Kidz Kabin Pembroke Studios. It's absolutely brilliant.
