Nestled in the picturesque village of Thorley, Bishop's Stortford, N Family Club Bishops Stortford is a brand-new nursery and is a delightful haven for young learners and their families. Surrounded by lush woodlands and just moments away from the tranquil Thorley Wash Nature Reserve, the nursery offers a unique environment that encourages both exploration and creativity. Housed in a beautifully converted barn, the spacious layout is designed in an inviting H-shape, with multiple playrooms that are filled with natural light, creating a warm and stimulating atmosphere for children to thrive.

The courtyard garden serves as an extension of this idyllic setting, complete with a messy play area, sandpit, and a mud kitchen that invites children to get their hands dirty and explore the wonders of nature. This outdoor sanctuary is integral to the educational philosophy, as it supports the forest school-inspired sessions that are a core component of the nurturing curriculum. Here, children can immerse themselves in the beauty of the countryside, learning through play and gaining a deeper appreciation for their environment.

Understanding the demands of family life, the team strive to make each visit convenient and enjoyable. The nursery has a generous car park which is designed to alleviate the usual stresses of morning drop-offs and afternoon pickups, allowing families to navigate these busy times with ease. Adding to this convenience, the family breakfast bar offers a welcoming spot to grab a much-needed coffee and tasty treats, ensuring that every family starts their day on the right foot. In this nurturing space, the team are committed to fostering strong connections and supporting families as their children embark on their early learning journey.

I have recommended this nursery to 4 of my close friends and family members to their new arrivals and I think that shows how happy I am with this nursery. We went to another nursery for 3 months before the N Family Club opened and the comparison is unbelievable, we couldn't be more pleased that we made
the jump and changed and they've been amazing with our child. Especially with all of the caring staff and ease in which they've welcomed our little own and helped the settle process. Very impressed! The nursery rooms and outside space is absolutely amazing and the learning, care and staff are outstanding! Communication couldn't be improved and the nutrition they offer is stunning and so nutritious, reading the menu, I wish I could join them sometimes!

My son has been at N Family since January. I have been super impressed with the nursery so far. The care he has received has been brilliant. They visit the nearby nature reserve, are learning Spanish and also do cookery lessons! The facilities are excellent and the food offered is great. They also offer
lots of extras - sleep training sessions, online phonics tutorials, Mother's Day breakfasts etc. I can't fault the place!

Our son has attended N Family Club since January. The level of care and friendliness from the whole N family team is wonderful. My son is always happy to be dropped off and is welcomed by the team with open arms ready for his day!


The food choices are remarkable, the spaces are immaculate, the outdoor

garden is so much fun for them. As parents we get regular updates including pictures every day which is great. All the staff are truly brilliant.


Overall I am thrilled with the experience so far at N family and couldn't recommend it more.

As a mum, choosing the right nursery for my daughter was one of the most important and hard decisions I had to make, and I can confidently say that choosing N family was the best choice. From the very first day, the staff have been warm, caring, and incredibly supportive, making both my child and me
feel at ease.


The environment is and filled with engaging activities that have helped my little one grow. Couldn't be happier.

My son absolutely loves N Family Club. He has progressed so much in the short time he has been there already.


They have such a broad curriculum and different stations set out each day to support different learning objectives. They have some lovely sessions they provide on a daily basis such as

Spanish, forest school, doodle dance and cooking. Also have great resources and the building is lovely being so new.


The communications are great via the app, and get daily updates on activities.


The staff are so lovely, supportive and provide a great learning environment. The food is very nutritious and menu is carefully crafted to be balanced and it's lovely to be able to pick up a coffee and croissant myself every day, a very nice touch!


Would highly recommend it, we love it.

Our son has been going to this nursery for about a month and we can only say good things about it. All the staff are lovely, friendly and welcoming.


The facilities are well designed and fit for purpose. The weekly menu is always interesting and there are plenty of different activities throughout

the week to keep the children engaged.


I would be happy to recommend N club to any parent or guardian.

The nursery property is a very nice environment and is well equipped, both the indoor and outdoor facilities.
Staff are very personable and build good relationships with the children. We receive daily updates, including photos and commentary on activities carried out during the day which is great.
The food menu is very varied with whole foods. Our son seems to enjoy it and eats well. The nursery also provides drinks and breakfast items for parents in the morning and puts on special events (e.g., Xmas lunch for parents and children, valentines treats).
Overall very happy with the nursery and would definitely recommend it.

Everyone has made both me as a parent and my son attending feel extremely comfortable and I am so pleased he comes here.

N Family Club - Bishop's Stortford is a wonderful place for children to thrive it is well designed structurally and functionally. The welcome is heartwarming, the building is new and the staff our friendly and give regular feedback. The curriculum has been very well thought off. It covers so many developmental
areas for children. It feels like a family indeed you can make a cup of coffee on site after dropping your children. staff no matter how busy they are they always have time to have a chat. The food on the menu is diverse and freshly made on site you can smell the aromas of breakfast at drop off and dinner at pick up. You're also given a welcome gift or pack when you arrive and it's just well and wonderfully made and thought of.
If you're looking for a nursery don't look any further this is the right place for your child and yourself

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.782)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.782) out of 10 for N Family Club - Bishop's Stortford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.985 for N Family Club - Bishop's Stortford is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.985

  • 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 4.797 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for N Family Club - Bishop's Stortford is based on 11 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.8 = 0.797

  • 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.
