About this day nursery

EAYC Yeladeinu Nursery, situated in Edgware, is an Orthodox Jewish kosher nursery established in 2000. Founded on a vision to cater to Frum families within the Edgware community, the nursery has expanded significantly over the years, welcoming numerous children.

Their core mission revolves around fostering Yiddishkeit, encouraging learning and exploration, building strong relationships, and nurturing essential skills that form the bedrock of a child's educational journey and Jewish life. The nursery adopts a child-centred approach, treating each child as an individual and ensuring their unique needs are met.

This environment promotes creativity, individuality, and self-confidence within a secure setting, guided by trained staff who build warm connections with the children they care for. A key aspect of their philosophy is providing a sense of security and belonging for children away from their parents, striving to create a happy, relaxed, and safe atmosphere.

They actively encourage children to feel confident in cooperating and developing positive relationships with both the adults looking after them and their peers.
