We are overjoyed to announce N Hove will be joining the N family in early 2025! Based in a former school with beautiful feature windows, N Hove is conveniently close to Portslade train station. Our spacious parent area is an inviting space for families to refuel, and there is bike and scooter storage for those travelling locally. The space has been thoughtfully designed to be a nurturing, creative haven for children to play, learn, and explore. With three distinct outdoor play zones, including an enclosed baby garden and a messy play area for preschoolers, there is something for every child. Plus, our toddler and preschool rooms open directly onto the gardens, creating a seamless connection between indoor play and outdoor adventure. Inside, you’ll find specialist ateliers to host our N Extras - one devoted to movement and self-expression, complete with mirrors for yoga and dance. We can’t wait to welcome you and your family to N Hove! 💙

Our nursery locations are designed to be beautiful, light-filled, inspiring spaces with a welcoming, homely feel. Natural light and materials are key to creating a comfortable, functional, and safe environment, with a carefully selected colour palette to achieve a calming presence for our families and team. Our large, open playroom and garden spaces offer flexibility for varied activities during the nursery day and allow for group activities to encourage children to build social skills. Our talented in-house architects are sympathetic to the buildings our nurseries are built within and strive to celebrate the history, original features, and character of each site. We love the challenge of giving properties a new lease of life—some of our most interesting projects have involved complex renovations of Grade II listed properties (with some planning hurdles along the way)! These include a former police station, a palatial boathouse, and a postal sorting office—all of which have been retrofitted to the highest standard to achieve our unique N Family Club look and feel. To learn more about our thoughtful nursery design, wander through our 365 tours on our website! ☀️

Our nurseries thrive thanks to the hard work of our talented chefs. Meet Yusuf Huseyin, our Head of Food at N Family Club, as he shares his journey, passion for child nutrition, and insights on leading innovative food programs in early years education. ⭐ What key milestones led to your role at N Family Club? I've loved cooking since childhood, which funded my education and led to a hospitality career in pubs, hotels, and restaurants. After becoming a father, I sought a better work-life balance and joined a small nursery as a chef. I instantly loved it. After 20+ years in early years, I now lead food operations at N Family Club, providing nutritious meals that support children's growth and well-being. ⭐ What do you wish more chefs knew about early years? Chefs have a unique opportunity to shape children's health by introducing fresh, nutritious foods early on. It's more than just meals—it's about building lifelong healthy habits. Early years settings also offer better work-life balance than traditional hospitality, giving you more creativity and focus on food safety. ⭐ What do you enjoy most about working at N? The most rewarding part is N Family Club's commitment to innovation and excellence. N prioritises children's well-being while fostering collaboration, creativity, and forward-thinking. The team spirit and passion make it a joy to work here. To find your dream role, visit our website! 🚀
