Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a warm, inclusive nursery where children feel safe, confident and inspired to explore, while families are valued as partners in their child’s journey.
Our Story
Founded in 1983 by local lone parents, Hackney Care for Kids remains proudly community-led, inclusive, and family-focused, serving generations of families.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a thriving, welcoming nursery where children flourish, grow with confidence, and families feel fully supported.
Who we Are
Hackney Care for Kids is a warm, homely and deeply nurturing charity nursery in Stoke Newington, caring for children aged 6 months to 5 years. With over 30 years of experience, we have grown alongside generations of Hackney families, offering childcare rooted in community, inclusion and genuine connection.
We believe childhood should feel calm, joyful and full of discovery. Our experienced team builds secure, trusting relationships with every child, supporting emotional wellbeing and early learning through meaningful play and gentle guidance. Children are never rushed here - they are understood, celebrated and supported to grow confidently at their own pace.

Safety & Trust
Children flourish when they feel safe. We prioritise emotional and physical security through caring relationships, and clear communication with families.
Partnership With Families
Families are at the heart of everything we do. We offer open communication and practical support, working together to build the strongest foundation for every child.
Wellbeing & School Readiness
Through joyful play, curiosity and gentle guidance, we help children develop confidence and independence, ensuring they are ready for their next step into school.
Inclusive Care & Individual Growth
Every child is celebrated for who they are. We embrace diversity and tailor our care to each child’s unique needs, helping them feel valued and included.
Our Commitment to Every Child
Hackney Care for Kids is an inclusive, Ofsted-registered nursery, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, where every child is welcomed, valued and supported. We believe all children deserve to feel understood and confident to thrive in their own unique way.
Our experienced SENCO works closely with families and external professionals, including Health Visitors, Speech and Language Therapists and Social Workers, to ensure children with additional needs receive the right support at the right time.
Children’s safety and wellbeing are central to everything we do. We follow robust safeguarding procedures, safer recruitment practices and regular DBS checks, and provide a calm, secure environment built on trusting relationships and consistent routines. We meet all EYFS requirements and regularly reflect on our practice to maintain high standards of care and education.
