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.

We are having a great experience at Greengate nursery. The toddlers are doing so many wonderful activities and learning such a lot each day. Our daughter's confidence has grown since starting in the toddler room and her speech has also flourished too.
We love the extra activities that they do, they recently organised a Grandparents tea party which was wonderful, the activities were brilliant and just enough for the children to engage with. They also too the toddlers on the bus to the Olympic park which was very successful. Our child came back very animated and excited to explain to us about the trip.
We love that the nursery has such a lot of outside space but we do feel it is seriously lacking in shade in this hot weather. It is a concern for us as parents and would like LEYF to address this urgently and certainly in time for next summer. Unfortunately some of the time the children have had to stay in doors as it's just not very suitable in the hot weather.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear how much your daughter is enjoying her time at Greengate, and that you've seen such a positive growth in her confidence and speech.

It's lovely to hear that she enjoyed the Olympic Park trip and that the Grandparents' Tea Party was such a success!
Thank you also for sharing your concerns about the lack of shade in our outdoor space. We completely understand why this is a priority, particularly during hot weather, and we want to reassure you that we are aware of the issue and are actively working to find a suitable solution. We recognise how important it is for the children to enjoy our outdoor space safely and comfortably, and we are committed to improving the provision of shade.
Thank you again for your kind words and valuable feedback. We truly appreciate your support and understanding.

Our daughter has been attending the Greengate LEYF nursery for the past couple of years, and our eldest daughter also attended the nursery before its acquisition by LEYF. We are very pleased with the staff, who genuinely care about the children and consistently provide the highest standard of care. We initially chose the nursery because of both the dedicated staff and the facilities provided, particularly the large garden space. The children seem to enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible.

Thank you very much for your lovely review and for choosing Greengate for both of your daughters. Were delighted to hear that you have been so pleased with the care and support provided by our team over the years.
It means a great deal to know that our staffs dedication and genuine care for the children have made such a positive impression on your family. Were also pleased that you value our facilities, particularly our garden. Outdoor play is such an important part of the childrens day, and we love seeing them make the most of the space.
Thank you again for your continued trust and kind words. It has been a pleasure being part of both of your daughters early years.
Both we and our son have loved Greengate nursery; he's been there 2.5 years since he was 1. The staff are fantastic - kind, caring and have really ensured our child has developed so well.

Both we and our son have loved Greengate nursery; he's been there 2.5 years since he was 1. The staff are fantastic - kind, caring and have really ensured our child has developed so well. The garden space is great, the kids spend lots of time outside. Our son comes home each day with great stories of play and new songs to sing. The parents form a great community bond as well. Would highly recommend Greengate and will be sad to leave!

We're delighted to hear how much he has enjoyed his time at Greengate, particularly the outdoor play, songs and activities.
The teachers will be so pleased to hear your kind words about their care and dedication. We also love the strong sense of community among our families, so it's lovely to hear that you have felt part of that too.
We will be very sad to see you leave and wish your son every happiness and success for the next chapter. Thank you for recommending Greengate - it truly means a lot to us!
They have a fantastic garden and the staff are ace.
Each cohort have their own large garden, so the babies have their own space, meaning the staff can take the kids outdoor whenever they want to, which I've not seen in many settings.
They really get to know all the children....

Wish we could take this nursery with us when we move.
I was really skeptical about putting my son into nursery but choosing LEYF Greengate was the best decision for him. From day one, the staff have been attentive, caring and genuinely invested in his development. They are amazing and always give detailed feedback at the end of the day, so I know...
They have supported his speech and language development by creating support plans, making the appropriate referrals and implementing recommendations from outside professionals within the setting, which has made a huge difference.
On our viewing day, what stood out most was the manager, Morgan. When my son started climbing on a table, she calmly got down to his eye level and redirected him with kindness and respect. That moment showed us exactly how children are treated here and is the reason we chose LEYF Greengate. We couldn't be happier with our decision.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words. It means a great deal to us to know how happy and supported your son has been at LEYF Greengate. We're so pleased to hear about his progress and development, and we'll be sure to share your lovely feedback with the whole team. Thank you for trusting us with his care!

My daughter loves coming to this nursery. The staff are very kind, caring, and always helpful. She has learned so much and enjoys all the activities every day. I feel completely safe and happy leaving her here. Thank you to the whole team for taking such wonderful care of my child.

We have been so pleased with our son's time at Greengate nursery and preschool. My son started here when he was only 16 months old and has grown so much in confidence over the years. The staff have always been kind, caring, and supportive, creating a safe and nurturing environment where he has developed so many new skills. He has loved making friends, taking part in fun activities, going out on short day trips and learning every day. We are very grateful for the wonderful care and dedication of the team and would highly recommend them to other families
Our daughter started in June and since then she has created really strong bonds with all of the staff. She started off crying lots at drop off and pick up , she now reaches for cuddles with the teachers in her room and talks about them all at home. There has been so much kindness compassion and...
There is a real sense of family at Greengate, the branch management really know all of the children and get involved within the team and day to day running.
There is a new app system which means that the hand over at the end of the day is purely for finding out about the activities /interactions during the day.
Our daughter loves it there and her development has come on in leaps since starting. Even as a very attached mum I feel really confident leaving her at Greengate.
