Review from Anna J (Mother of Child) published on 26 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We've had such a wonderful experience with Defoe Road Nursery. Our son moved from Crows Nest to the Jungle he absolutely loves going there. He talks very excitedly about what he does, his key people and other children.
The management team are incredibly helpful and always available when needed, creating a really supportive environment for both children and parents. The staff and class team are consistently warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Even on those slightly wobbly mornings when my son feels unsure, there's always a friendly face and a reassuring hand or a warm hug ready to help him settle in. That level of kindness and attentiveness has made a huge difference to us.

The food quality is excellent, and it's clear a lot of thought goes into what the children are served each day. Communication is also outstanding and we're always kept well informed and feel very connected to what our son is doing and learning.We couldn't be happier with the care and support. Thank you!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a beautiful and detailed review of your experience with us!

Hearing him talk so excitedly about his days, his friends, and his key people is the greatest reward our team could ask for. We know that even as children grow, those slightly wobbly...

Overall Experience

From my very first phone call to N Family Club on Defoe Road to request a nursery tour, they were extremely professional, friendly and responsive. There is a lovely atmosphere there day to day and after a few weeks of settling in, my son is very happy going in every morning. The management team, unlike other nurseries, are heavily involved in the day to day running of the nursery and know all children's and parents names, greeting you every morning. All food is prepared on site every day and is to a very high standard. There are daily outside trips for the children to the local parks which is great. There are regular updates on the app (photos too) and the staff really take the time to provide a thorough verbal update on your child's day at the end of each day. The staff are all very friendly and you leave happy in the knowledge that your child is being well cared for and nurtured in a comfortable and safe environment.

Thank you so much for such positive feedback. We're so pleased that your son enjoys his time at N Family Club, it really is a pleasure being part of your family's journey. We very much enjoy spending time with you son and watching him grow.

Overall Experience

Since joining N Club, my daughters' progression has come leaps and bounds. I honestly believe that if I kept her at home I wouldn't have been able to achieve the same results particularly the improvement in her range of vocabulary. Moreover, nether would I have been able to imitate any of the activities she has experienced thus far. All staff are super friendly and helpful.

Reply from Selen Nihat, Nursery Manager at N Family Club - Stoke Newington, Defoe Road
Thank you We're so pleased to hear that your daughter is loving her time at N Defoe and enjoying the activities. Our goal is to keep improving and making activities special for the children, so it is amazing to hear the work is being recognized and appreciated!

- Love from Beth & the N team.

Overall Experience

My child has been in N for 4 years and it's been quite a ride. He is neuro divergent and has been through a lot, from difficulties in transitions to being upset every time things don't go how they're supposed to go in his tiny little head. N has provided him with a safe place to be, educating but not imposing rules or punishments. Thanks N for all the effort put in my child's growth. He will remember you as he goes to reception.

We'll be so sad to leave this nursery this year. Our son has been 5 days a week from 10 months old (between Church Street and Dafoe Road) and we couldn't be happier with the how he has developed and progressed ready for school. We really couldn't have asked for more.

We've been at N Family for over two years now and it's been a great experience all around. The staff are very attentive, they have a good menu, they take the kids out on a daily basis to the various local parks. And most importantly, our child is very happy.

Review from Maria P (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I feel incredibly confident in the safety and happiness of my 2 year old son in the care of the N Family Club team at Defoe road. They go out of their way to make every child feel seen and welcome. When our son first started, they threw him a themed tea party with his favourite animal and the children all welcomed him with excitement making him feel so special. Our son speaks languages other than English at home and they bring these languages into his learning experience at the nursery. The food menu is wonderful and brings in a nice variety and different food groups. These are just some of the things that make this such a special place. While they don't have a big outdoor space on site, they take the children to the local parks every day which is even better. It's not cheap but you get a lot of value and peace of mind for the money.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. It has truly been a pleasure welcoming your family to N, and we're thrilled to hear that you love what we do. Your support means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing to create a wonderful experience for you and your family! Love from the N team

Review from E R (Father of Child) published on 18 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has attended N Family Club in Stoke Newington (first the Church St nursery and then the Defoe Road nursery) since he was six months old (from September 2022).
Both nurseries are superb and we cannot speak highly enough of the staff and the care that they provide.
The facilities are superb and the learning curriculum is far more detailed and advanced than we have seen elsewhere.
A special mention to the chefs and food teams, the food is well-cooked, extremely healthy and varies every week.

N is certainly not the cheapest nursery option but we do think it actually represents value for money when you compare the fees to other nurseries and the fantastic service the team provides, we cannot recommend N Stoke Newington enough.

Thank you so much for your kind words and lovely comments. It is an absolute pleasure having you with us and also getting to know your wonderful family and child. We're excited to continue to enjoy all the fun learning experiences we have planned. Nursery Manager

Our son loves N Family! The team are so creative with the activities they plan for the little ones, and they clearly really love their jobs. Couldn't ask for a better place to drop our little boy off every morning - caring staff, engaging activities, great food and a nurturing environment.

One downside is the limited outside space but the team take the kids out every day which is great.

We have been with N family at Defoe Road for a couple of months now in the Cloud room. The experience for our daughter and the whole family has been fantastic. From the very caring settle sessions at the beginning all the way to the fine details of the manic days. Special Kudos to three members of staff in particular for being so caring!

Overall Experience

Both of my children have attended this nursery over the past 3 years. We've had a great experience and they have enjoyed their time here. The educators and the learning experiences including the forest school daily trips have given them both a solid foundation to go on to their next stages of education. The attention and atmosphere of the nursery is great.

Reply from Selen Nihat, Nursery Manager at N Family Club - Stoke Newington, Defoe Road

Thank you for such lovely feedback. We're glad your children enjoyed our daily forest school trips as much as we do! We wish them all the best with their time at school & we hope you come back to visit! It's been a pleasure watching your children grow over the years.

Review from Rosie C (Mother of Child) published on 12 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our eldest son has just finished 3 years with N Family, first at Church Street before moving over to Defoe Road. We've had a brilliant experience throughout and our son has always loved going to nursery - which is perhaps the most critical indicator! With N there is a consistently high quality of staff, curriculum, learning opportunities, food and even warm greetings as you walk in the front doors every morning. In our time across both nurseries we have been impressed that as our son has moved between rooms and educators, there has been a consistency in his experience. He ended his time at N in The Clouds which was run by a fantastic educator supported by a brilliant team. They created a friendly, inclusive, supportive and nurturing environment in which our son has developed hugely and is now ready for school. Can't recommend N enough.

N Family (Defoe Road) has been such a huge support for our family. It's a wonderfully nurturing environment for our two daughters. The staff are amazing - professional, warm, caring and fun. Our children love going to nursery and have thrived at N. It's made leaving them during the early years so much easier and happier.

Overall Experience

Our son has been at this nursery since May 2023 and we're loving it. The overall experience has been exceptional. He settled in smoothly, loves his educators and all his friends. He has since transitioned to a new room twice with ease. We are amazed at the variety of daily activities and really pleased with the level of education. We feel supported as a family with his behavioural and educational development, and appreciate the focus on a healthy, balanced diet. The team is loving, caring, well-trained and have excelled in guiding our son through all stages of development at nursery. He especially loves that they go outside every day to explore the world. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough!
