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.

They accept funding and are really accommodating if we need to add extra days

Overall Experience
LEYF nursery has been the best possible choice we made.
We're super happy with our son's development and the attention he receives from the teachers everyday. We believe they care about what they do and most importantly they provide a great environment for them to grow.

We couldn't have been happier with both our kids' experience at LEYF Soho. The staff were wonderful with them and built such lovely bonds. We're very grateful for the constant kindness, patience and gentleness they showed, and for helping our children grow in confidence. They also benefitted from partnerships with artists and nearby museums which really enriched the children's experience and strengthened their connection with the local community. If we had to make the choice all over again we would choose the same nursery without hesitation.
Special mention to the chef who cooks delicious and healthy meals everyday from the scratch.

This nursery is the best nursery. The staff are fantastic and understand the needs of the children and have great relationships with the parents. They provide the children with many opportunities to go around the local community and have good links throughout the community. My child met the Princess of Wales at the National Gallery on a trip from the nursery and was featured on the news when an author came to read to the children at the nursery! The sports day that the kids take part in is also great with the babies coming along and seeing the importance of keeping active!
Cannot sing their praises enough!

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for recommendations. My child has been attending this nursery since they were 18 months old. She has thrived here and has the best time. This nursery has offered my child many opportunities to be involved in many activities in and outside of the nursery. Activities outside of the nursery have involved meeting the Princess of Wales at the National Gallery and also featuring on the news when a book author attended the nursery. We as a family have been very fortunate to have found this nursery.

My son has been in Soho Nursery since he was 9 months old and he's now just two! Soho Nursery is a real paradise for our miniature humans! As soon as you walk through the door, you're greeted by a chorus of laughter and babbling. You can tell that the babies feel at home here! The nursery staff deserve a gold medal for their patience and dedication. They juggle nappies, baby bottles, toys and activities like circus performers, and they always do it with a smile. They're really great! The activities are perfectly suited to toddlers. I've seen children painting with their hands, dancing like little penguins and even holding secret meetings in their cosy corner. It's an endless source of entertainment. On top of that, the nursery is spotlessly clean and has just been refurbished. The meals are delicious too. This nursery is a magical place where toddlers become experts in exploration, friendship and laughter. It's the perfect place for budding adventurers. Well done, excellent work!

Exceptional care and support. The manager and staff's dedication has made us feel like we are a part of an extended family. Their commitment to providing a rich and diverse learning environment really stands out. The inclusion of so many cultural activities has been a tremendous bonus for our child development.
What truly sets Soho Nursery apart is the love and commitment offered to our child. Again, thank you for providing a second home (that sometimes our child doesn't want to leave) and enriching her first social life experience.

We can not recommend Soho Nursery & Pre-School highly enough. Our daughter has been attending since she was 12 months. She is now three years and six months old and still loves going every single day. The care, facilities and attention to detail is second to none. The location is incredible - it really is a hidden gem. Food and nutrition - amazing, care, empathy and attention - amazing. Development
- amazing. Staff - amazing. Literally can’t thank the nursery and the entire team enough. I highly, highly recommend it.

The carers at Soho Nursery & Pre-School are incredible! They are so kind, and we feel extremely lucky that our baby is in such amazing hands! The newly renovated rooms have so many fun and interesting activities. The app is great for keeping up to date with meals, naps, activies, nappies and messages from the staff. We have become close with all the carers and the admin team and highly recommend the nursery. Our baby loves it, and seeing her growth and confidence is a true testament to the team at Soho Nursery & Pre-School.

I loved Soho Nursery and all its staff. They were always charming and very kind towards me and my baby. She learnt a lot and developed many skills. We were very happy with her appointed person.
I would totally recommend to anyone because every aspect was carefully thought for the children.
