  • Leys Nursery & Pre-School, Dagenham
Rated Good by Ofsted (February 2020), Leys Nursery & Pre-School provides childcare and education to children from birth to 5 years old.

They are based in Dagenham, not far from Dagenham East tube and close to The Leys park. It's a bright, modern nursery with rooms for different age groups and a surrounding garden for free-flow play.

The experienced staff plan each day with help from the children. Each child can choose the activities they enjoy... sensory play with ice and water, small world play with dinosaurs, languages, construction, obstacle courses, and more!

The Nursery's chef provides all meals from scratch using recipes from LEYF’s nutritious menu.

Review from Hang B (Mother of Child) published on 15 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My eldest is 4 years old and she has been attending the nursery since she was 18 months old. Her progression and development has exceeded my expectations as a mother. The staff are amazing and goes above and beyond to ensure my child and all other children are supported and well cared for. So much so,
I cannot wait for my second child (age 13 months) will follow suit. I have never looked back on my decision and very pleased with the nursery and its facilities. Will definitely recommend to friends, family and new parents.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.607) out of 10 for Leys Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.714 for Leys Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.714
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.893 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Leys Nursery & Pre-School is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 56 number of registered child places is 11.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.893
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2009

Hello, my name is Caroline and I have been at Leys Nursery & Pre-School since 2009, when myself and the team opened the nursery from new. Leys has some truly unique features, from the moment you step inside. The large, spacious rooms with their own defined areas allow children the freedom to explore their own learning at a level suited to them.
