My daughter has been attending N Family- Ockham for the past two years and we couldn’t be happier with the care and support she receives. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely care about the children’s wellbeing and development. We’ve seen such amazing progress in confidence, learning, and social skills since joining. The nursery provides a safe, welcoming environment where my child feels happy and excited to go every day. I have complete peace of mind knowing she is so well looked after. I would highly recommend N Family- Ockham to any parent looking for outstanding childcare.

My daughter has been attending N Family Ockham for about a year now, and she absolutely loves it. The nursery is set in a beautiful location, and the staff are all incredibly kind and nurturing. They organise a wide range of engaging activities — far more than at her previous nursery — and I’ve really noticed how much she’s developed since joining. She’s picking up new things so quickly, and her speech, walking, and fine motor skills have come on wonderfully. We couldn’t be happier!

Our daughter attends N Family at Ockham and she absolutely loves it. The staff are so kind and friendly, and Jo and her team are always thinking of wonderful things to do with the children. We get very thorough updates and pictures daily, and regular reviews about how she’s developing and what she should be working towards. We’re really happy with the nursery and I regularly recommend it to other parents.

Our son has been attending Nfamily in Ockham for over 1 year since he was 9 months old and we couldn’t recommend it enough. We always feel he is safe, happy and having fun learning. All the staff are fantastic, very supportive, nurturing and friendly. We get updates during the day including food, nappy changes, sleep and activities. We really feel at ease going about our days especially with the daily photo updates to keep us connected. Thank you
