We have been blown away with the level of passion and effort that the whole N Family Club team have put into caring for our child.
The staff are amazing and the facilities are incredible. The whole experience is top class.
We couldn’t be happier and couldn’t recommend this nursery enough to any interested
parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We love N Family Club Hackney Downs. Our little ones started in January and had an incredibly smooth transition thanks to the exceptionally thoughtful and caring staff. The rooms are fresh and well thought out and the staff put so much effort into creating fun and engaging activities. The equipment
is brand-new and clearly thoughtfully chosen.
The huge outside play area (complete with real grass!) is a huge hit with the kids. The meals are amazing and wholesome. We've found the nursery to be a warm and friendly community for parents and caregivers and would highly recommend it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has a medical need and N Family Club has been amazing in accommodating his specific care plan. They have been so kind, calm, understanding and thoughtful throughout the entire settling-in process. Our child (and I!) found transitioning to nursery tricky to begin with, but the staff did everything
that they can to make his time so special and to reassure me! Our child now loves going to nursery and enters and exits each day with a smile.

We couldn’t love N Family Club Hackney Downs more! The people, the facilities and the overall positive energy are unmatched. The socialising and daily activities for our daughter have been incredible for her development, she comes home each day having learnt something new. The staff are incredibly attentive
and caring. The weekly menu is very nutritious and our daughter eats it all so it must be delicious too! Can’t recommend this nursery enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn’t be happier with Hackney Downs N Family Club Nursery. The nursery itself is a little kid's wonderland offering loads of space, including a lovely big outdoor space to go on daily adventures. They do lots of crafts, music, cooking, reading and play. They have an incredible in-house chef that
produces the most amazing meals such as beetroot falafel with vegetable couscous and mint yoghurt dip. The staff are wonderful and attentive, they feel like an extended part of our family. We couldn’t recommend them more!

Wonderful staff who are warm, kind and caring.
The facilities are great and the activities that we see them getting up to are lovely.
We get lots of updates through the app and love seeing the pictures of all the little ones having a lovely time.
We are so happy with the nursery and our son is thriving.

Review from Ester C (Mother of Child) published on 4 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn’t be happier, from the behind-the-scenes to the teachers and TAs and lunch ladies and absolutely everybody has been lovely, accommodating and above all very caring. It is easy to see how much love and care for children they have and the passion everybody has for their jobs and therefore how
much effort they put in.
The peace of mind I have when my baby is dropped off there is priceless, I can walk and go back to work with the absolute certainty my baby is loved, cared for and safe in a perfect environment for her development not just educational but also emotional.


Seriously the best decision we made was starting her at N Family Club.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.017)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.017) out of 10 for N Family Club - Hackney Downs is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.952 for N Family Club - Hackney Downs is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.952
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.065 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for N Family Club - Hackney Downs is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.365
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
