Why N Family Club?
We're more than just a nursery group; we're the UK's most innovative early years education provider.
Our vision? To be the highest quality, and most loved, early years education group in the UK.
Our purpose? To inspire and develop the next generation to reach their full potential in an ever-changing world.
At N Family Club, we dreamed of creating a place where early years education would be reimagined. A place that fosters creativity, embraces a curriculum-led approach, and prepares children for the modern world. We're proud to be making that dream a reality, and now, we're inviting you to be a part of it!
What it means to be an Apprentice at N Family Club...
Our Level 2 Early Years Practitioner (15 months) and Level 3 Early Years Educator (18 months) apprenticeships are designed to help you develop the skills and confidence needed to launch your career as an Educator. Throughout the apprenticeship, you'll gain hands-on experience across different nursery rooms and a wide variety of activities within the N Curriculum, including Forest School, The N Passport, and Spanish.
Twenty percent of your time will be dedicated to 'off the job' training, where you'll focus on developing the knowledge, skills, and behaviours outlined in the apprenticeship standards. You will have a dedicated tutor and mentor to guide and support you every step of the way. Upon successful completion, you will earn a full and relevant qualification that will serve as a strong foundation for your career in early years education.
After completing your apprenticeship, your career can evolve into a specialism of your choice or advance into management, providing you with endless opportunities for growth and progression.
Step into the brand new world of our N Maidenhead Nursery, which opens in May 2024! Inside, we've got a super-specialist art and cooking room where little geniuses can let their creativity run wild. And outside? Our riverside garden is like something out of a fairytale, complete with slides, sandpits, and even a mud kitchen for some messy, marvellous fun!
N Maidenhead is nestled in the heart of Maidenhead, Berkshire, overlooking the River Thames. With fantastic transport links close by, such as the Maidenhead train station and a short drive from the M4. For those of you driving, we have a big car park on site with plenty of spaces for you!
