About this day nursery

Purple Lion Day Nursery Chingford, established in 2022, operates out of non-domestic premises in London, E4 6LP. Open Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, throughout most of the year, this all-year setting caters for children aged 0–4 years.

The manager has put in place a broad curriculum that focuses on developing children's communication, social, and emotional skills. The nursery maintains a calm atmosphere where children are encouraged to build strong relationships with their key persons, fostering a sense of safety and security.

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive excellent support, with a dedicated Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) who works closely with parents and other professionals to ensure early intervention. Daily opportunities for physical development are provided, including ample time in the nursery garden for vigorous exercise such as weekly football coaching.

Toddlers enjoy riding tricycles, which helps them to develop their lower-body muscles. Parents consistently praise the staff for their "kindness and care" and for creating an environment where children feel secure and supported, as noted in the latest Ofsted inspection report where the nursery achieved an overall rating of 'Good' on 09/11/2023.

I would like to say a big thank you to Purple lions Chingford who kindly organised for their children to deliver valentines cards that the children had created for the residents at heathland’s nursing home across the road where my Nan Rose is a resident. It was such a thoughtful, kind and creative idea which she adored and has displayed in her room at the home. I have thanked the nursery manager via email and she’s promptly responded to say they will also be visiting the residents of heathlands at Easter time. So a big thank you to Elena and her team at purple lions. I myself work in a nursery but for a different company and it’s lovely to see what other company’s and settings do and to show appreciation. Take care Danielle
