Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders seek extra funding promptly to ensure that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive any additional support they require.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy spending time with their friends outdoors each day. Staff talk with children about what they can see outdoors, adding to their understanding of the world and developing their thinking and speaking skills. Older children voted for new seating to be added to the water station in the garden, learning about democracy through this process.

We started the nursary in Jan this year with our 5 month old, she is in the Cove. The staff have all been amazing helping her settle in. Iona who looks after the room is amazing along with Nila who looks after my daughter. They are very thorough in the care they give. Always a friendly and positive. I like the updates and photos throughout the day as well. I highly recommend this nursery.

Our daughter is so happy here. The staff are wonderful - from front of house to room managers and teachers. We’ve had a really lovely experience here so far. The kids do SO much in a day and so much variation in terms of activities / learning. Really appreciate the frequent updates on the app. Thank you all :)

Our son is very happy at N Family Club Godalming, and we are very happy with the outstanding care and education that he receives, and the service that we receive as parents. The nursery is bright, clean and inviting, and the facilities are excellent, with so many thoughtful and helpful extra touches, like the parents’ breakfast bar. We receive a warm welcome every morning, and nothing is too much trouble, if we need any help. All of the staff are very supportive, and exceptionally talented at what they do. Our son’s confidence and skills have greatly increased in this brilliant learning environment, and he loves going to nursery. We love the reassurance of being able to check how his day is going, through regular updates on the N Family Club app, and unhurried chats with his educators at the end of the day. We recommend N Family Club Godalming to all parents looking for a nursery that goes the extra mile, in every way.

N Family Club Godalming is an exceptional nursery! The team treat the kids (and us parents) as family, and work so hard at giving them the best and most fulfilling experience possible. Incredible care is given to creating learning opportunities for the children; it has been a joy to watch my two blossom there. They are so happy and have the most wonderful days! And its not just in the good times that it is good - my family recently has been going through a bit of a tricky time and I've been floored by the kindness and support we've received from everyone at N. It is a standout!
