Our Impact

 For over 40 years, nurture groups have broadened the horizons and life opportunities of our most vulnerable children and young people. From the earliest origins of nurture groups in Hackney in the 1960s, children have become more socially adept, emotionally resilient, self-confident and learn to enjoy life because of their nurturing experience.

This section of the site aims to give a taste of how nurture can change lives. Click through the links on the left to find inspection reports on nurture groups, NGN's position on new government policy around education, as well as further details about our Marjorie Boxall Quality Mark Award, the gold standard of nurturing.

[nurture groups] were essential provision in supporting young children who were most in need and who displayed complex and compound behaviours.
