We’ve had a wonderful experience with Eljoy Nursery in the last 1 year. My son has grown so much, especially in his social skills. We especially love the engaging activities, the safe environment, and the excellent real-time communication through the Nursery app. It’s reassuring to stay connected and see updates throughout the day in realtime. Eljoy has been a fantastic start for our son — we couldn’t be happier!

The Nursery is absolutely fantastic!!! My daughter's have enjoyed their stay right from 5 months and now I don't regret registering my handsome little boy in the nursery. Very secure and safe. My boy is also enjoying himself. Happy to separate from mum. Well done to the Staffs in all.

My son was growing up in this nursery, the manager Yemi is very helpful and flexible. It has what you need for your child (care, food and learning). You won't find a better nursery than Eljoy in chadwell heath.
