Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff plan using their expert knowledge of child development, and a clear curriculum model, in order to narrow gaps in all children's learning. They work with integrity and use additional funding carefully to ensure personalised plans are put in place and that they get the support from outside agencies, when needed. They take advice and action to make sure all children, including disadvantaged children and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are thriving.

Outdoor space

Babies can explore freely in the carefully designed areas, including the well-resourced garden. In the garden, staff guide children and support their physical development as they practise their climbing skills and stretch and move their bodies with regular yoga sessions. Children enjoy selecting yoga poses and can move with coordination and control.

N Family at Highgate have amazing staff and very well equipped. The toddler room and preschool have lots of planned educational elements like sign language, Spanish, environmental awareness, emotional education, etc. The nursery location is perfectly in the heart of the village, and close to Waterlow Park, where the children get to go sometimes for fresh air.

An amazing nursery with wonderful staff. Couldn’t do more for us and our child who has been at this nursery for 1.5 years now, since she was 1. Having her at N Highgate has given us both the confidence to go back to work full time knowing she is in safe hands. Their menu is exceptional and the activities are varied - outdoor playtime everyday, yoga, cooking, painting, reading etc with regular trips to the local community. They are excellent communicators, and the minimum once daily updates with pics and description are the highlight of my workday. Honestly couldn’t speak more highly of the nursery and staff.

Our son has been at this nursery pretty much since they opened in 2022 and he enjoys “going to school” every morning. The food is incredible, the rooms although a bit small are lovely inside and as the children grow they begin to spend more time going on trips to the local park, animal farm etc. The days seem filled with activities and there is a lot of emphasis on artistic expression which I really like. We are sad he is soon leaving for primary school but feel lucky our youngest son will soon join so we will continue to be part of the family. Big heads up to the educators who really seem to care about the children and to the management team who’ve been really supportive over the years.

We've had a wonderful experience at N Family Highgate. Every member of staff is so friendly and approachable they are a joy to see every day. Our son joined from another nursery straight into Camp and the whole team made a huge effort to help him settle in quickly. He is learning so much and is exceptionally well cared for. We couldn't be happier!

Wonderful nursery catering to the needs to children in the world we live in today. I really felt that the permanent staff knew the kids and cared about the kids and were warm and lovely also with us as parents. They tailored their development based on individual needs and I felt my daughter learnt and grew more there as a result of this individual attention. My impression is a few changes made recently have added to the rigour of the class development as well. We miss them now that we are in school and would totally recommend them! G and C (child - F)
