Located just opposite the Royal Berkshire Hospital, the beautiful new N Family Club nursery is set in an impressive period property. N Family Club specialise in sensitively restoring buildings so that they remain full of character, while being purpose-built to provide modern learning environments that support the delivery of N's bespoke early years curriculum.

The Reading nursery features a large garden that comes complete with an adventure playground, messy play spaces, a sandpit and plenty of space for outdoor games and learning. To support children as they unleash their creativity, there is a specialist art and cooking room. The playrooms are bright and spacious, and are flooded with natural light. There is a dedicated parent area, featuring a breakfast bar serving fresh coffee each morning, and a large car park perfect for commuting parents.

N Family Club are striving to rethink early years, offering a fresh educational outlook to prepare children for life in the modern world. They were named the UK's highest quality nursery group by Nursery World in 2023, and believe that their approach to early years education supports children to become curious explorers, life-long learners and critical thinkers. The bespoke curriculum that is delivered every day through play-based experiences is designed to be unique to each child, based on their development and their interests.

Laura Matthews, former Head of Nutrition at Jamie Oliver, has also partnered with N to ensure that the balanced, nutritious menu supports every child’s developmental needs. In-house chefs prepare fresh meals every day in the nursery café kitchen.

My baby started at N Family in December when she was a year old. She settled in really well and seems to love it. The staff are all super friendly and take excellent care of her. I believe she is learning loads and has been talking a lot more in the last two months, her weaning/eating has also improved
greatly. I couldn’t ask for more from a nursery - thank you to all the staff at N for their excellent care and attention.

This is the nicest nursery we have seen in two years. Everyone is very supportive and professional. Our son is looked after very well and enjoys going every day. We have been lucky to find this place. The nursery itself is nice, clean and well-looked after. They have a great system, onboarding and daily
routine that fits around kids. People who work at the nursery are extremely nice and dedicated to children. Highly recommend!

My daughter started at N Family Club in September and absolutely loves nursery. She settled quickly and all the adults in the nursery welcomed her by name and seemed to know her really well. I like getting the daily posts and she seems to take part in lots of different exciting activities like yoga
and cooking. She is talking so much more now and learns a lot while she is there. The nursery has a huge outdoor space and the rooms have so much to do and so many resources. We really couldn’t be happier with N Family Club Reading and how friendly it is and we can see how dedicated all the team are.

Everything thus far has been utterly excellent. It has considerably exceeded my expectations in ways I did not even know could happen (I am a bit jealous though of the food my kids don't always eat). Your staff are amazing and how they obviously take pride and care in what they do for the children is
to be commended. If I ruled the world, you guys would be at the top of my list for acknowledgement, praise and a hefty reward. Sadly, I don't, so this insufficient review will have to suffice. And if you know me, you would know that this is high praise indeed. I don't throw five stars around willy nilly. Thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.866)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) out of 10 for N Family Club - Reading is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.866 for N Family Club - Reading is calculated as follows: ( (495 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 537 Ratings = 4.866

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for N Family Club - Reading is based on 43 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 135 number of registered child places is 27, which has been reached with 43 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
