A brilliant start to 2025: celebrating our team’s impact
It’s been an exciting start to 2025, and we’re taking a moment to celebrate the milestones, stories and successes that have made it so special.
Over the past six months, we’ve been recognised for the incredible work of our team – named the 30th Best Workplace in the UK (Super Large category) and one of Daynurseries’ Top 20 Nursery Groups. These honours reflect the care, commitment and impact our team brings every single day.
So far this year, we’ve:
- 🎉 Welcomed over 365 new team members
- 🚀 Celebrated 70 internal promotions
- 🏡 Opened three new nurseries – N Camberwell, N Leatherhead and N Hove – with more to come soon in East Dulwich, Wimbledon, Guildford, Beckenham, Barnet and Buckhurst Hill
- 🌱 Achieved 5 Eco-Schools Green Flags for 2025 – N Ockham, N Church Street, N Olympic Park, N Greenwich, N Wandsworth
We’ve also seen brilliant feedback from our families, with world-class NPS scores and hundreds of 5-star reviews across Google and Daynurseries – a testament to how our team lives out the N Golden Principles each day.
Our children have been learning about safety this term with Safi the Safety Chameleon, who’s been helping them explore what it means to stay safe both at home and at nursery.
And we’re so proud of our Stoke Newington – Defoe Road nursery, which recently achieved its second consecutive Ofsted Outstanding rating. A huge congratulations to the team there!
Team spotlight
This term, we’re shining a light on Zelislav, Syeda and Angela-Karina, who share what they love about life at N.
Zelislav, senior team support assistant
“One of the biggest changes since joining is that I no longer dread Mondays.
Definitely the team. The support and positivity here make every day something to look forward to. I genuinely enjoy our check-ins, chats, and shared laughs.”
Syeda, educator (L3)
“The experience and knowledge I’ve gained from the amazing Bushey team. I had the chance to work across different rooms and really understand how care and learning are tailored to each age group.”
Angela-Karina, deputy nursery manager
“The endless opportunities for learning, development, and progression. There’s always something new to explore and ways to grow.”
Here’s to an inspiring year ahead – and everything our team continues to achieve together.
