About this day nursery
Early Learners Centre Pre-School operates two branches in London, located in Walthamstow (E17 9QL) and Leyton (E10 6QT). Both preschools have received "Good" ratings from Ofsted, reflecting their commitment to quality early years education.
The centres operate during term time, Monday to Friday, with opening hours from 8:45 am to 3:15 pm, offering some flexibility to accommodate parents with older school-aged children. They provide free funded spaces and actively participate in government initiatives for early education, including the 2-year-old and 3/4-year-old Free Entitlement funding, covering both 15 and 30-hour options.
Parents are advised to contact the preschool directly for specific fee structures outside of funded hours and for registration information. The preschool maintains an active Facebook page to share activities and updates with parents, fostering a connected community.
