Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who are disadvantaged, feel secure and receive consistent, tailored support. Leaders closely monitor the effectiveness of interventions, regularly reviewing children's progress and adjusting strategies as required. They collaborate with parents, external professionals and agencies, such as speech and language therapists, ensuring children's support is coherent and consistent between home and the setting. Early years pupil premium funding is used to address learning gaps and promote inclusion.

Outdoor space

Well-established routines help children move confidently through the day, including outdoor play. However, opportunities outdoors are not yet consistently adapted to reflect children's ages, stages of development and individual needs, which can prevent some children from engaging as deeply in outdoor learning as they do indoors.

EAL / language support

Children who speak English as an additional language receive effective support and are making typical progress in developing their English language skills. Leaders provide experiences across the early years foundation stage areas of learning, including physical play, sensory exploration, creativity and self-help routines.

We are incredibly grateful to all the professionals at this wonderful daycare. They have truly changed our lives for the better. From day one, we felt confident placing our full trust in their care, because they have always treated our little one with such genuine love, kindness, and respect. Our child is autistic, and the support we have received has been nothing short of exceptional. The team has not only embraced him for who he is but has gone above and beyond to help him thrive. It’s clear that he feels safe and happy—so much so that there are days he simply doesn’t want to leave! A special thank you to Sunita, the director, who is always available and attentive, no matter the time or situation. Her dedication and warmth make such a difference. For us, this isn’t just a daycare—it’s a place that holds a special place in our hearts. We’ll always be thankful for the love, care, and support our family has received here.

Our LO adapted very quickly to the daycare and I think that was due to the exceptional team of professionals who know very well how to make a little one feel comfortable, welcomed and loved. They put a lot of thought into the schedule of the adaptation days which are key to make the parents and little ones feel confident from day one. Everyone I’ve met here is very supportive, friendly and patient. As a first time parents that is truly a blessing. We are very grateful to all the staff for your continued dedication and care of the little ones.

My sone went to LEYF in earls court for about 6 months from the time he was 9 months old to about 15 months. It was a wonderful place with activities he loved like messy play. The chef is wonderful and they are highly conscious of nutrition. They had great events for the families and the staff was the best part. Sunita and Amruja were exceptional childcare providers and truly care about the children. The only reason we left this nursery was because of our relocation to a new country. I highly recommend this nursery as a first time mum of one who was very nervous about putting her baby in childcare.

My girls are so happy going everyday to their nursery. All the staff is excellent. Every week, we receive feedback from them with pics of our little ones, and we can see how they interact, learn and grow in a place full of love and kindness. We recommend 100% LEYF Earl’s Court for early years. Thanks, Sunita and Gbemi, for taking care of our little ones 🥰

Amazing nursery where our son and daughter are incredibly happy. The staff are very caring and create a nurturing environment. Our son will start school in September and he is very well prepared into terms of his writing and numeracy skills that he has developed in the preschool class.
