  • Eastbury Nursery & Pre-School, Barking
Rated Good by Ofsted (March 2024), Eastbury Nursery & Pre-School provides childcare and education to children from birth to 5 years old.

They're in Barking, not far from Upney tube. The Nursery is a large setting with separate rooms and gardens for different age groups.

No day is ever the same – every activity is designed to stimulate the child’s curiosity. The children enjoy sensory play with foam and ice, dialogic reading, language groups, cooking, and more. Outside, there's a climbing frame, a vegetable patch, even a mud kitchen!

They run regular sessions for parents, and offer excellent SEND support. A dedicated chef prepares healthy, balanced meals using recipes from LEYF's menu.

The staff at this nursery are amazing... They look after my daughter as their own.. I couldn't feel any more at ease....
I know my daughter will be looked after and taken care of. When I call to find out how she is doing, they are always happy to answer several calls a day. Well done guys.

Amazing school. Amazing staff. My child always so happy to attend. They encourage to try new things and she's loved telling me about her day. So informal with events. Wish I found this school sooner. It's a very clean tidy nursery too as previous nurseries my child went to. Was not so pleasant and
withdrawn her from them and then found Eastbury. She has made a best friend from this school. When I drop Harley off her teachers always welcoming her big smiles Harley runs to her teacher to give them a hug to start her day. She's loves the garden. Very interactive for the kids.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From day one, the staff has been incredibly supportive, making a huge difference in both my child's and my own experience. I still remember when my little one first started - I was in tears every day because he would cry so much when I dropped him off. It was heartbreaking, and I even considered quitting
my job to keep him home. However, thanks to the patience, kindness, and dedication of the staff, things have changed so much.


Now, he happily goes to one of his teachers and waves goodbye to us without a second thought. The nurturing environment and the attention given to each child have made a world of difference. The nursery has provided a wonderful balance of structure and play, helping him grow in confidence and social skills. I feel reassured knowing that he is in such capable and caring hands. It has truly been a positive experience, and I am so grateful for all the support they've provided. If you're looking for a nursery that cares, this is the place!

I absolutely love this nursery. I have had 2 kids here, my youngest is still here. Her needs are met including a special plan to support her in her delayed development. The nursery even allowed me to arrange a physiotherapy session as my daughter could not walk until she was almost 2. I couldn't love
this place more. Everyone really gets to know the children and parents and give a personalised touch to daily interactions.

Exceptionally well-managed and resourced nursery facility, with friendly, caring staff members. Our 2yr 4m old currently attends and is always raving about what he has learned and looks forward to going back the next day. He loves it!
Highly recommended!

Very polite and easy to to talk to and will listen to any worry's I may have
My daughter has come over leaps and bounds since being at Eastbury Nursery since October 2024 her speech has got so much clearer and she is so confident in herself. She is confident about her numbers, shapes and colours and
is always so excited that she has been taught and remembers how to hold a pen/pencil correctly. The school is amazing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Eastbury Nursery & Pre-School since November 2021 and we are really happy overall. The staff treat him very well and are kind to us. The manager is great as she knows every parent's name from day 1. The only negative comment I would have is the lack of a receptionist which
makes having to wait for someone to open the door in the evening a bit long.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have recently started my 2-year-old son at this nursery and I am absolutely over the moon. My son has a speech delay and is being seen by the portage and inclusion team. I thought that my son would not be able to cope with nursery, The nursery manager went above and beyond to get a space for him.
The staff have been absolutely amazing from the moment that we stepped into this nursery. The first week was hard departing from him, but by the second week, he is running in there and going straight to his teacher's lap! They have been brilliant beyond anything that I could have expected, they are so caring, honest and very very loving. My son adores everyone in the nursery. The whole team have all been magnificent- not just for him but also for me and my peace of mind. I feel super duper happy with him being in there, it is calm, and more personal; I receive detailed feedback every day. I can’t thank them enough and am so excited to see all his developments!

My son has been attending the nursery for 3-months now and as a first-time parent, I’ve had such a great experience with them. I was really nervous about my son starting at nursery, but the staff made the transition so smooth! All the staff are very kind and caring. Also, the nursery has a very good
space and resources for the children to learn and develop. I am regularly told about my child’s learning and development! I would definitely recommend this nursery to others.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been with the centre for over two years and I cannot commend the staff enough. They are all very friendly and most importantly very caring. Which is reassuring for any parent when you are leaving your child.
The management is amazing and a true inspiration to the Centre who is very committed
and hands on. She has kept me up to date with any changes or issues regarding my son.
Everyone works very hard and as one UNIT! They all know where and what stage the child is at and can carry on developing the children even further. I can rely on them anytime and I would happily recommend them because they are professional and a great bunch of people. My son has walked away feeling very independent for his next chapter and that is all down to the staff at Eastbury Children’s Centre

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.084)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.084) out of 10 for Eastbury Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 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 4.952 for Eastbury Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.952
  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 4.132 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Eastbury Nursery & Pre-School is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 81 number of registered child places is 16.2. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.2 = 0.432
  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.
