Ark Start John Keats opens its doors to Enfield families

01 October 2025

We’re excited to announce that Ark Start John Keats is officially open!

Our brand-new nursery based in Enfield, north London, has started welcoming local families into a vibrant space designed to give children the best start in life.

In the lead-up to opening, we hosted a series of open events that brought over 110 families through our doors. These events offered a chance to explore the nursery, meet our passionate team, and experience the happy, safe and stimulating environment we’ve created on the premises of our host school, Ark John Keats Academy.

Ark Start John Keats is part of the Department for Education’s school-based nursery programme, which aims to expand early years provision by creating 6,000 new places across 300 schools in England. Our nursery is set to offer around 80 FTE places this autumn term.

We’re committed to bringing high-quality early years education and affordable childcare to many more families as we grow our network of nurseries. Discover more about our Enfield nursery and what guides our approach to early years.
