My son went to Noah’s Ark for almost 1.5 years, unfortunately we moved house and was a bit far so we had to change his nursery. If you are looking for a reliable place that actually cares for your kids Noah’s Ark is the best around Wood Green. Thanks to Efi the manager who was always so nice and helpful, Cheina in baby room was the person that made us choose this nursery, she’s amazing. Thank you to everyone in there who helped us looking after our son. Best wishes from us

Noah’s Ark was our daughter’s very first nursery, from 8month old to her first year and although we sadly had to move her because it was too far from us, we truly miss it. The staff are so caring and supportive, and they made the transition into nursery life such a positive experience for our 8-month-old at the time. The activities were always creative and engaging, helping to nurture and encourage her development in such a thoughtful way. We also really valued the helpful recommendations and updates we received along the way. It’s a wonderful place, and we can’t recommend it highly enough!

I would recommend this nursery 100 times over. My daughter started when she was 1 and today was her last day. Four years later. I have always felt that she was in a safe place and treated like family. All of the staff are amazing and has help my daughter grow. Nicola I can’t thank you enough for your support over the years and the love you have had for my daughter. Words are not even enough. If anyone is thinking about their child joining this nursery just book them in you will not regret it. The best nursery ever. Had such a warm feeling from the day I visited and I saw a lot of nursery’s. So happy with everything over the years and always knew my daughter was in safe hands. Definitely going to miss it and will definitely be keeping in contact with the staff members I’d would rate it 100% It has been my child’s second home and Nicola has treated her like her own child. We have been very blessed. In fact all the teams member have been amazing! If you want that family safe loving caring environment this is the place. The best early years ever!

Noah’s Ark nursery has been amazing for us, Nicola helped my daughter settle instantly and she is super happy to attend each session, she comes home talking about her friends, the staff and the brilliant activities they get up too each day. I feel extremely happy and comfortable leaving my precious daughter in their care, thank you Noah’s Ark, Nicola & the pre school team xxx
