After changing her key person she settled in (10-12 weeks after start date) and she is doing very well ever since. She is picking up english from the teachers mainly but songs and books help her and the teachers are providing her the tools to not only learn but enjoy. The wide range of sensory, gross- and fine motor skills activities are lovely but favourite is cooking. I also love that children are being socially, emotionally educated. Variety of food is great however more cousines would be amazing.

I was worried about moving him from his old nursery but it was the best decision we could have made. The staff are exceptional, the facilities are better than all the other nurseries we looked at and they really get to know each child individually. My son usually tells me he doesn’t want to come home when I pick him up or that he “misses pre school” when we leave. Thank you to all the staff for all their work. I’d recommend to everyone.

From their open day to settling in days, the manager and her team of early years professionals are very knowledgeable and friendly. The environment LEYF provides allows my son to thrive. It is a multicultural nursery which is also reflected in the diversity of the staff. The nursery communicates updates and important information effectively. There is a nurturing garden and they offer healthy meals. I highly recommend Nursery Manager, Alethea.

The staff are highly attentive and go the extra mile. My son is in the toddler room and has grown in confidence and cognitive development in what I consider a safe and nurturing environment. In addition, the dietary offer is excellent with a range of foods offered providing a very balanced diet for children. All staff are warm and welcoming and would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a piece of mind that their child will be well looked after, nurtured and fully supported from day 1! Thank you Althea and the LEYF Team!!!

This nursery might be smaller in size, but it's huge in heart and care. The teachers here genuinely know each child, and their attention to every little one is evident. Our son, who was initially quite reserved, has truly blossomed in this nurturing environment. He's now more outgoing, engaged, and looks forward to his time at the nursery. It's a place where children are not just looked after, but are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow in their own unique ways. We're so grateful to have found this gem of a nursery.
