Rated Good by Ofsted (October 2022), Farrance Road Nursery & Pre-School provides childcare and education to children from birth to 5 years old.
You can find them in Chadwell Heath, not far from the station. It's a large, modern nursery with separate rooms for different age groups and a garden for outdoor play. The baby room is equipped with a gym and sensory area.
Every activity is designed to stimulate the child’s curiosity. Each day is different! The children enjoy photography, woodwork, ICT, yoga, dialogic reading and cycling – and that’s just for starters! They love to get out in the area too, with trips to the local park and library.
A range of freshly prepared healthy snacks are available on site every day.

About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

My daughter is now four and has been attending Farrance Road Nursery since she was 11 months old. She loves her time at nursery and has made some amazing memories! Her teachers have always been so amazing and supportive, and I am confident she receives the best love and care.

We started sending our daughter to nursery when she just turned one, and as a parent, we were in a dilemma about how will it be. But from day one, my daughter enjoyed nursery time; it’s all because of all the warmth and care provided by all the staff. They have very well-structured days for kids and do a lot of outside trips, which I believe is very nice for a child to experience. My daughter always comes back happy and looks forward to the next day's visit.

Farrance Road has been a wonderful place for my child. It is always hard to leave your children, but the staff at Farrance Road have all made it easy. Their friendly approach to parents and children means my child loves nursery and can't wait to go. Thank you for all your hard work and care.

Staff regularly update their parenting app, which helps understand what the children have eaten and how long they have napped and gives a weekly overview of activities.
Nursery isn’t cheap, but if you want to retain a high calibre of staff and ensure they are well paid, it’s the compromise you have to make.

My little boy settled in at Farrance really well and quickly. The manager is lovely and the staff are caring. It’s a nice atmosphere and it always seems relaxed and chilled. My little one was always happy to go in and looked forward to his preschool sessions which made it so much easier being a...
Thank you Farrance for looking after my little one and helping get him ready for school.
Our child had a good time in the nursery, but some of the areas where we think there could be an improvement - ex-staff could be more helpful in terms of potty training. Overall we had a good experience. But could be more memorable.

I want to express our profound gratitude for the exceptional care and education my son has received at your nursery school. The positive impact on his academic and emotional growth is truly remarkable. Your dedicated staff, enriching curriculum, and nurturing environment have provided him with a solid foundation. We appreciate your commitment to fostering a love for learning, character development, and regular parent engagement. Farrance Nursery is not just a school; it's a second home where our son thrives. We are excited for his future, knowing he's well-prepared, thanks to you.
I really liked this nursery for many reasons. First the staff are great! All are friendly and professional. Management are more than often available to talk to and they greet the children as you come in every morning and when they leave. They also spend time working with the children and getting to...
The nursery environment is calm, nurturing and always set up with plenty of play and exploration for the children. Staff definitely put lots of thought into the planning of activities!
The food which is provided for the children is varied and healthy. They take food allergies and tolerances very seriously and provide food accordingly.
Overall, I was very pleased with my experience and I know my little one was too as he never wanted to leave at the end of each session! Thank you very much for all your hard work!

My son has been at this nursery for 4 years now and he loves it. As a mum, I find this nursery outstanding. They really pay attention to the things that come up at home - for example my boy keeps putting things in his mouth so they did an activity about what goes in your mouth and what doesn't. He keeps asking for a daddy and so they did an activity about how all families are different and so on. The staff are amazing and I trust them implicitly. My son is in pre-school now which is run by the manager who is also his key worker. She is an absolute diamond and he just loves her. I've witnessed her grow and flourish in the time my son has been there and so it is clear that the nursery is committed to staff development. The nursery manager is a compassionate, helpful, approachable individual who is always ready to help should any issues crop up. My son has received an extraordinary level of care at this nursery and I would not hesitate to recommend it (and often do!).
I am very pleased with this nursery. Staff are very polite and jolly. They communicate excellently about your child. The learning environment is great.

My only concern is that the food could be more children/kids choice e.g Spaghetti and Meatballs, Chicken Nuggets and Fries, Fish Sticks, but other than that fruit and drink are excellent.
Furze is a great nursery. Our son has been there for just under a year and we are happy with it. However, the meals could use a little improvement.

Furze Children's Centre Nursery have friendly staff. They always give me feedback of how my child has been at the nursery. My child is happy and I can see this through his behaviour. My child has learnt many new skills whilst attending nursery.

Hello, my name is Richard and I've been at LEYF for 13 years. I helped set up the nursery in 2008 and was manager for eight years, before returning in 2021. I like to achieve a good balance between office-based tasks and being hands-on in the room, supporting the team. This also allows me to know the children and provide opportunities for fun activities to extend their learning, including singing, stories and creative play.
