N Family Club Forest Hill

About this day nursery

N Family Club Forest Hill, registered in 2024, operates as a full day care setting from 7am to 7pm, all year round, in Forest Hill, London Borough of Lewisham. The nursery provides a warm and welcoming environment where children from 1 to 4 years old are settled, confident, and thrive.

Leaders have implemented a varied curriculum focusing on developing fundamental skills for future learning. The setting ensures children develop independence and competence, for example, by encouraging free movement in the garden and self-care skills during mealtimes.

Staff are adept at supporting children's vocabulary and communication development, with older children expressing ideas in more complex sentences and toddlers enjoying books. The nursery places a strong emphasis on early mathematics skills, introducing concepts from a young age through practical activities and discussions.

They also focus on promoting good emotional well-being and positive self-regulation through responsive staff-child interactions and activities like yoga. The setting has 28 staff members, 19 of whom hold early years qualifications from Level 2 to Level 6, and is committed to continuous improvement, evidenced by their plans to enhance children's learning experiences, including local community trips.
