We're feeling the love at N today seeing all the ways our teams are celebrating each other. Just look at this spread by our Stoke Newington management team: "Kind, smart, inspiring and fun. When it comes to educators, you are # 1". We couldn't agree more. Happy Valentine's Day team N.
With the right to education being under threat for so many children around the world, we are thankful that War Child continues to give boys and girls the opportunity to learn, develop and dream. With this in mind, we're pleased to have reached a new milestone in our contributions to their work, donating £50,000 last year. Our partnership with War Child means a lot to us and is one of several ways we plan to support Positive Futures.

"Outstanding!" Ofsted has rated our West Hampstead nursery, and we couldn't be more thrilled. Here's what they had to say about our teams: "Staff are carefully recruited for their professionalism and enthusiasm. They receive excellent coaching and training, to develop and practice to the highest levels. This maintains the superb quality of teaching and ensures improvements are rapidly achieved. "Staff are encouraged to develop their own passions, such as for art or languages. They become the nursery's 'specialists' in these areas, to further enrich the educational programmes for children." Congratulations team West Hampstead! We see all the outstanding work you do every day, and we couldn't be more proud. Read the full report on Ofsted.
"Wellbeing depends on all aspects of identity being respected." writes Charlotte Goddard and we couldn't agree more. Read the full article in Nursery World, where she also looks at how N creates a strong sense of belonging within our diverse teams.
