LEYF - London Fields Nursery & Pre-School

LEYF London Fields is terrific. We're so happy to be there. It's a very friendly team with lots of structured activities and good parent involvement too. Nice garden for the children to be outside and activities to visit parks and the canal as well. Good food too.

My daughter loves going there.

Staff are brilliant. friendly and welcoming creating a positive environment , supportive towards my child in encouraging him to engage with others and group activities. He truly loves nursery now and is happy to tell me all the fun things he has done and learnt.

The literally only thing is, we wish there would have been a proper graduation for the preschoolers leaving. :(

We've had a wonderful experience at LEYF London Fields. The staff are caring and attentive, and our daughter is always happy and excited to go in. She likes everyone there. Our daughter started there when she was 9 months, the settling period was really smooth and we feel she is thriving there.

Highly recommend this nursery

The best thing about this nursery is its staff. They are hardworking and thoroughly dedicated to the wellbeing and development of the children. My son has absolutely thrived at the nursery, which includes a generous outdoor space that is so rare for inner city nurseries. The food he receives is healthy and varied and puts me at ease that he's eating well. If I have a criticism it is that the nursery can appear to be a bit disorganised. For example my son was scheduled to have a meeting with his key worker, which he is meant to have 3 times a year. He's only had 1 in the last 9 months. On the date of the meeting, his key worker was on leave.

This nursery is excellent. The staff, facilities and overall culture are second to none and my son absolutely loves coming everyday. All the staff at London fields LEYFS are experts who take part in regular professional development which is evident in the planning of daily activities and learning. Play is organised, fun and encourages important inter-personal skills. I love all the singing and movement play. But they also take part in a range of water play, cooking and shared activities - even gardening! I think it's very important that the children are also learning about and celebrating all cultures too.

My son started at the nursery when he was 11 months old and has been there for nearly 3 years now. The staff are wonderful and very caring. It's true that other nurseries might have slightly better outdoor facilities but the team makes up for it in creativity.

The programs are diverse and inclusive, the staff are professional and always welcoming.

Good staff and responsible childcare, excellent activities and daily entertainments for the children, well-managed nursery and smaller groups make it easy for kids to adapt and interact with each other.

My son started attending this nursery last month and he settled in so quickly. I was very surprised because he was getting through his separation anxiety phase, but the staff are so lovely and so professional that he felt at home straight away. They accommodated his need for breast milk and have been so helpful and supportive with me too as I transition to going to work and getting separated from him. The environment is warm, nurturing and positive. The kids are kind and supportive with each other, which is so sweet. What I really appreciate is the feeding: they all sit on a little table facing each other, despite being babies and have the most delicious and varied food every day. I feel calm going to work knowing that he is in such safe and able hands. He always looks so happy when I leave him in the morning and when I pick him up in the afternoon. Thank you all for making this experience so easy and reassuring for both of us.

The nursery is conveniently situated on a no-through road, which means that there is no risk associated with traffic during pick-up and drop-off.

Our son started here two months ago after not having a great experience at his previous nursery, and changing him to London Fields Nursery has been the best decision. In such little time, we have seen huge changes in our son, he is happier, communicating more verbally, and more imaginative. The staff are extremely caring and experienced and actively support each child’s interests. Activities are thoughtful and varied, and the nursery is well-staffed and organised. It also has a large outdoor space which is hard to find in the area.

London Fields Nursery is a great environment for children with amazing space for play and learning, including outdoor space, small toilets for potty training, and a professional kitchen to cook daily meals. Children are encouraged to be independent and take controlled risks (walking up and down stairs, exercising outdoors), and the staff is professional and kind. I was really happy to register my child here!

The place is fantastic. The architecture of the building reflects the qualities of the nursery. A calm, cosy, timeless place. It feels familiar. An ecosystem that protects, nurtures and promotes positive values. We wish the world would be like this nursery. We see our daughter happy, willing to go, but also developing skills that she is picking up just at the nursery that balances and strengthens the education at home. Overall it has been a very positive experience.

This nursery is excellent. The staff are kind and welcoming. My daughter settled into the baby room easily and loves the staff and the food. The communication from the nursery is excellent, I really value having updates through the app on what my daughter has eaten and when she’s slept.

Our daughter started at the wonderful London Fields Nursery & Pre-School when she was 11 months old. It was such an easy transition as the team took great care of her and were very mindful, calm and caring. Every single one of the caregivers have been incredible with her and have kept us updated every step of the way. The nursery shows great values and have taught our daughter the importance of setting her own boundaries to others and exploring her own limits for herself. They constantly provide creative ways for development and play and really do put the children first. We are very sad to leave the nursery which is only due to moving to another area. Special thanks for making our daughter safe and happy to all the staff members and especially the room leader and the head of the nursery.

Our daughter started young at six months and stayed there up to 19 months. The team took such great care of her as she was the youngest. Loved the team and the manager. They have a great outdoor area, are always creative with different activities and do amazing initiatives (charity). We were very sad to leave due to a move out of the area. Strongly recommend this nursery.

We are so happy with this nursery! Our daughter started when she was 18 months and is now 3 years old so we've experienced all the rooms, and can say they are equally great. The staff are incredibly caring and knowledgeable about how to support small children and take a real interest in developing our daughter as an individual. The room leader is constantly thinking of new ways to inspire the children from doing yoga, and trying out languages to making enormous papier-mache sharks together. We feel really lucky to have found the nursery - couldn't recommend it highly enough.
