We believe food is fundamental to healthy growth, happy minds, and positive lifelong habits. In the earliest years, what children eat shapes taste preferences, supports brain development, and lays the foundations for long-term health.

All meals are freshly prepared on site each day using quality, seasonal ingredients. Our menus are developed with expert guidance, designed for inclusion, and go beyond Early Years Foundation Stage requirements. We want every child to become a confident, curious eater.

Meet Our Nursery Manager

Stephanie Lascelles

I have worked in childcare since 2010, and every day brings new achievements — not only for myself, but also for our team, parents, and, of course, the children.

I began my career as a college placement student at Nursery on the Hill and was offered a full-time role after completing my Level 3 Childcare studies. After a few years, I explored different nursery settings to understand how various environments provide care and support for children and families.

I returned to Nursery on the Hill in 2023 as Deputy Manager, which truly felt like coming home. Since then, I’ve worked alongside our dedicated team to ensure high-quality childcare is provided to all families.

Becoming a Nursery Manager has always been my goal, and fulfilling this role here is one of my proudest achievements. Making a difference in families’ lives is at the heart of what we do. Watching children flourish and supporting families through new milestones is incredibly rewarding.

Having a passionate team who want the very best start for every child really is the icing on the cake. I believe that when our commitment matches a child’s imagination, the possibilities are endless.

Our Commitments

Our curriculum is built around five core commitments that guide how we nurture every child.

Critical And Creative Thinkers

Nurturing curiosity and confidence to imagine, test ideas, and solve problems through exploration.

Sense of Belonging

Building secure, trusting relationships so every child feels safe, valued, and confident.

Explorers of Our World

Connecting children to nature through outdoor experiences that build resilience and independence.

Confident Communicators

Supporting every child to express themselves in ways that are meaningful to them.

Happy and Healthy

Encouraging physical activity, healthy eating, and joyful experiences that support lifelong wellbeing.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum follows a motto of WE CAN, giving every child the opportunity to thrive at their own pace. We believe all children develop at different stages, but all can achieve at their own level.

WE CAN stands for Wonder and Explore, Engage Effectively, Communicate Confidently, Actively Promote Self-Care and Independence, and Negotiate Problems and Positively Take Risks.

Across the nursery, our practitioners weave WE CAN into daily experiences, creating a stimulating environment where children are encouraged to explore, build confidence and develop independence. Our approach recognises each child's unique journey, supporting them to take safe risks, solve problems and grow as capable, curious learners.

Review of Nursery On The Hill

NoTH have provided a wonderful, safe learning environment for my son, he has been with the team for 2 years and has flourished in their care. They provide a wealth of stimulating activities including yoga and trips outside to visit their local environment aswell as forest school experiences. I cannot recommend them highly enough and have absolutely trust and confidence in the staff that they provide the best possible space for him to learn, explore, play and grow under their guidance and support. Thank you NOTH team for being so amazing

Review of Nursery On The Hill

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough - it truly feels like a warm, loving extension of our home. From the moment my 3-year-old son started attending, the entire staff has gone above and beyond in every way, especially when it comes to supporting his additional needs. As a parent of a child with extra requirements, I was initially nervous about finding a place that would truly see him as an individual, understand his unique way of experiencing the world, and help him thrive without ever making him feel different. This team has done exactly that - and so much more. They are patient, incredibly knowledgeable, creative in their approaches, and always full of genuine warmth and positivity. They've tailored activities, routines, and support to suit him perfectly, celebrating every small milestone as if it were their own child's victory. The way they communicate with us - open, honest, reassuring, and proactive - has given me complete peace of mind every single day.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. Our son started in the baby room and is now in the over-twos room, and he has loved every single part of his journey there. The staff are absolutely amazing - so caring, supportive, and genuinely invested in the children - and we've seen incredible growth in his confidence, learning, and development. He runs in happily every day, which says everything about how safe, loved, and stimulated he feels! We love nursery on the hill!

The staff are caring and attentive. They provide helpful feedback to parents at the end of each day and truly understand every child's individual needs. They have also been very supportive with toilet training. My daughter has built a strong bond with her key worker and is always happy to be greeted by her. Each week, they introduce new activities that are engaging and fantastic for children's development.

We have been so pleased with our daughter's experience of nursery, thanks to the wonderful team at NOTH. We feel safe knowing that she is well-taken care of.

Review of Nursery On The Hill

Since my son has started Nursery on the hill he has come on leaps and bounds. I was slightly anxious as any mum would be sending him to nursery after having a year together, however he is absolutely thriving. All the staff have been so welcoming and attentive. We have both formed lovely relationships with the staff in the baby room and they have helped so much with his development from walking and hopefully soon to be talking! A mother can only dream that their son smiles and laughs everytime I say 'We are going to nursery today'! I love that they update us everyday with pictures so we can see all the fun he has had!! Could not be happier with our choice.

We honestly could not have wished for a better nursery for our son. From the very first day, the team made us feel completely confident and at ease, and the care, patience, and genuine love they show every child is truly special. Our son has grown so much during his time here - not just in learning, but in confidence, happiness, and independence. He absolutely loves coming in, and that alone speaks volumes. The staff take the time to really know each child as an individual, and it shows in everything they do.

We are so pleased with the care, support, love that we have received with our twins. There is nothing that is ever too much for the nursery and staff to deal with, and we have seen both twins flourish in the space of 10 months. They both run to the gates and are so eager to start their day learning, playing and having fun. The activities are always so varied and improves both their developmental milestones daily. Their speech and confidence has grown leaps and bounds and having our toddlers at Nursery On The Hill has been the best decision we have made thanks to each and every staff member.

We couldn't be happier with Nursery on the Hill. Our daughter started at 11 months and in just a few months has grown so much in confidence and independence. The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in the children. She has absolutely thrived here. We're sad to leave due to relocation, but so grateful for the amazing start they've given her. Highly recommended!!

My son has had a brilliant time at Nursery on the Hill. The activities for school readiness have set him up really well to start school and to enjoy learning. He also thoroughly enjoys the regular outings. He loves the staff and counts them amongst the people he loves. More updates of what is done during the day would be appreciated and also would be nice to have communication on actions taken to address disruptive behavior by other children. Also fees have consistently gone up without increase in care provided. If he wasn't starting school we would have to leave due to fees.

We have been using NOTH as our nursery provider for the last four & a half years with two children who both progressed from baby room to pre-school. The nursery staff are extremely nurturing knows each child well. They go above & beyond with extra-curriculars like forest school, visiting local town & care homes & take part in a number of enriching activities, preparing the children for school. We couldn't be happier. Thanks to all at NOTH!

The nursery is absolutely fantastic. All the staff ae so kind, caring and dedicated. The amount of choice in activities and food is exceptional. My child has absolutely thrived here. My child is really enjoying preparing for school learning letters of his name and numbers. The children have lots of opportunities to go on days out with their peers either to the park, playground, library, care home or forest school. I am so thankful to each and everyone of the staff and would highly recommend to other parents.

The range of activities and learning that they provide is phenomenal and our daughter's development is really noticeable as a result of being at NOTH. We are so happy and so is our child with everything at NOTH.

Review of Nursery On The Hill

My Daughter has recently started at Nursery On The Hill. I can honestly say it has been an amazing experience so far for my daughter and for us as parents. All my daughter's carers in the baby room are so caring, loving, attentive and kind. My daughter was assigned a key person who is absolutely wonderful. She helped my daughter to settle in and is able to meet all her needs and help her to thrive in her environment. It's lovely to receive the feedback during the nursery day. Even though my daughter has been given a key person all the other staff members have a lovely connection with her and make the effort to know her which is just fantastic. All the children look happy. It's very clean and spacious for the children to explore. All the staff are knowledgeable and able to answer any questions and as a first time mum I had a lot. The Management Team are very approachable and very helpful. Absolutely fantastic, amazing, wonderful nursery who genuinely love and care for all the children

My experience with this nursery has been fantastic so far. The staff have been so attentive to the individual needs of my baby and making sure the settling in period was as smooth and stress free for my baby as possible. My baby has formed such a lovely bond with his key worker and I feel so happy leaving him with the staff each day as I know he is very well cared for by a lovely team. They provide me with plenty of updates throughout the day and I can see that they are doing such varied activities with the children each day and I know they're having so much fun and having the opportunity to feed their curiosities.

Review of Nursery On The Hill

We've been exceptionally happy with sending our daughter to Nursery on the Hill. The baby room team were very supportive when she settled in at 8 months and now, a year later, it's a challenge to get her to leave at the end of the day, she loves it there so much! The team are attentive, caring and proactive. They create a warm, friendly, caring, compassionate, and respectful environment for the children to thrive. Our daughter not only has great fun, and looks forward to going every morning, but she's learning so much. I'm amazed at the creative and practical activities they do daily; the team really get the kids engaged, even in baking muffins for their nursery friends. They also pay attention to each child's learning needs and have tailored activities to help our daughter develop her walking, balance and communication skills over time. We also really like getting weekly meal plans (which look yum!), weekly themes, daily reports and lots of photos throughout the day.

My son attended Nursery on the Hill for c. 3.5 years before heading off to 'Big school' as a confident young boy and that is down to the love, care and education he received at Nursery on the Hill. My daughter is attending the nursery now and she quite happily waves me off every morning as she settles in for a day of fun and games with all her friends and teachers. It's a wonderful place, I'd be lost without it!

Review of Nursery On The Hill

We absolutely love Nursery on the Hill and are so grateful for the lovely team who made it so good. My daughter transitioned here 6 months ago from another nursery (changed due to location) and they really helped her settle in quickly. The staff think of really good activities to stimulate and aid the children’s learning, and they communicate this really well to parents so we know what the theme is for the week and the activities they might be doing. I love that they also take the children out on little trips locally e.g. to the shops or a care home. My daughter is definitely eating different foods that she perhaps wouldn’t have eaten at home, due to eating them with other children at nursery so I see a good impact here. They’ve also been really supportive in potty training which has been a huge relief! Thanks to all of the wonderful staff for doing such a great job - it’s recognised and appreciated!

We are so happy with the excellent care our son has received by all at Nursery on the Hill. The staff are brilliant- the girls are full of energy, positive, and caring and it is clear the children are at the forefront of everything they do. We also really appreciate the great communication, the daily updates and the regular feedback. It’s particularly nice to have a weekly update for what theme is coming for the following week so we could talk about his learning confidently at home too- especially before he had many words! Our son loves attending the nursery and we love seeing all of the daily updates of the wide range of purposeful activities he takes part in: from crafts, to messy play, to forest school, to trips, to roleplay etc. Above all, he feels safe at nursery and we know he is in great hands when he’s there. Transitions have been smooth which shows how secure he has felt. We hope to send our daughter there next! Highly recommend.

Review of Nursery On The Hill

For me, Nursery on the Hill is second to none. From the day I dropped my twins off when they were only 1 year old until now (nearly 4) it has been their second home. My kids are happy, they are developing in all areas and they are excited and happy to go to the nursery to see all their “teachers” and friends. As a mother, the nursery has supported me through difficult times with my son who hasn’t always been the easiest child but with persistence, guidance, help and understanding they have helped us through to the stage we are at now. I can’t imagine my kids not going here and I will be so sad to see them leave and start primary school. I highly recommend Nursery on the Hill and to say “thank you” isn’t enough

We have been offered extra support around any developmental concerns that arise. My son absolutely loves going! Knowing that he’s at such an outstanding nursery, that offers tonnes of variety, themed weeks, healthy food and holistic support gives me the greatest relief! Cannot say enough good things. They also somehow manage to get him to sleep peacefully which might have been the greatest shock of all! Thank you.

The nursery staff are always so professional and friendly. The nursery is a clean and safe environment and I know that my child is in safe hands. They have a vast variety of meals and they share the menu with you each week. They also share pictures and videos with you of what your child has been doing each day and keep you in the loop of any dates you need to be made aware of. They work with parents in various ways including parent's evenings and even run events that the parents can attend including (recently) a Mother’s Day event where the mums could come to nursery and enjoy doing activities with their children. They run yoga classes for the children and take them on educational trips. My son is happy to attend this nursery and I will be sad when he leaves in September to attend school.

My son has been at nursery since January 2021 and started just before 1. As a lockdown baby, we were worried about how he would settle in and adjust having really only been with us for most of his first year. The nursery was amazing and from day one my son has absolutely loved attending. They are so kind and helpful and work exceptionally hard to put on a wide range of fun, educational and stimulating activities for the children. I have been so impressed by the way staff really know the children and their personalities, likes and dislikes. Although we drop off at the door and then always get given a good handover and the atmosphere is always pleasant. Staff seem to enjoy their work too which is lovely to see and adds to the positive atmosphere. All in all highly recommended to anyone looking for a nursery in Enfield!

Both my children have attended Nursery on the Hill and it is such a welcoming, nurturing and happy place for my children to learn and play. My children are and were always happy, well-adapted and excited to go to nursery each day. As a primary school teacher myself, I understand the importance of learning and learning through play in these formative years and the nursery has always exceeded my expectations. Also, the nursery really focuses on the transition to school and my son was extremely ready when the time came.

Review of Nursery On The Hill

Even though my son is very attached to me, and drop-offs can be hard, he always tells me he's had a good day when he gets picked up. The staff are very attentive to my obvious anxiety about how he's been and give me or my husband a daily debrief. This nursery is just the right size for us - not too big, not too small, with lots of play space and outdoor time. We will be hoping to send our younger boy there, too.
