About us
Hackney nursery is based inside New City College Hackney Campus.
We offer places for children from 3 months to 5 years old. We are open from 8am- 6pm and open 38 weeks of the year (term time only).
We cater for students and working parents.
The campus is spacious and is based in the heart of Hoxton. The building that the nursery occupies is a converted school, our classroom facilities are spacious with lots of natural light that comes through our large victorian windows.
Our facilities
The nursery has two floors, the first floor has four classrooms, purpose-built children’s toilets and hand was basins, changing room, kitchen, office space and a large reception area.
The second floor has two further classrooms a training/breakout room for students, a sensory room, staff kitchen and a utility room.
Each of the ground floor rooms have adjacent gardens. Our outdoor environments are places where our young children and babies can learn about the wider world, they provide challenge and promote adventure and exploration, even for the youngest children.
Our approach
We support each child’s development through personally tailored teaching as part of a structured, play-based curriculum.
We place importance in providing the highest quality nursery provision in the first years in life. Children’s early experiences, influence cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development throughout the rest of their lives.
All staff are involved in the development of the curriculum, learning and teaching. We work with the child, holistically embracing a wide variety of play experiences based on children’s interests promoting development and learning in the four capacities.
Spontaneous play
Planned, purposeful play
Investigating and exploring
Events and life experiences
Focused learning and teaching
We aim to support every child with a learning experience that is planned from the child’s starting point with activities that are challenging yet achievable so that they can continue to enjoy learning.
