Making every career dream a reality

Whether you want to fast-track to the highest level, or become the expert in the work you love doing, we’ll support your dreams with training and development that helps you become the best version of you.

We’ve set our sights on becoming the highest quality, and most loved, early years education group in the UK and have the opportunity to impact thousands of children and families. To do that, we’ve developed an approach to training and development that leaves no stone unturned in our pursuit of building the best team. From your N-duction to continued professional development and from N Academy – our dedicated development hub – to accreditation and external recognition, whatever you want to be the best at, we’ll be with you every step of the way.

The N Academy

The N Academy is our dedicated learning & development platform. We know the positive power of a blended approach to learning and we apply the same methodology to career development as we do to children’s education.
