My son is really happy at the nursery. He plays a lot and every day there are different activities that help him develop. The staff is kind but firm, providing guidance to my son from a behavioural perspective. They really care about the kid's development. The nursery facilities have been upgraded recently.
The kids spend every day, some time outside, and they also go on some very nice trips to the museum, supermarkets etc. Overall it is a lovely environment, with lovely people and the kids are happy!

My son has been attending London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) Earl's Court since he was 8 months old and I have nothing but appreciation for the wonderful people at LEYF. The small class size enables teachers to cater to their unique needs and development, such as speech and language and toilet training.
Teachers provide detailed updates during pick-ups and show genuine excitement for my son's achievements. They also cater to dietary needs extremely well and have strict protocols in place (nut-free zone and no outside food). Since my son has a nut allergy, it is reassuring to know he will be safe. The chef makes some of the most amazing and seasonal foods. We love the fact that she involves the children in cooking, such as letting them cut their own veggies for salads and teaching them about foods and ingredients. It is also a great place to make parent friends as we've built a small community around my son. We now have another baby who will be attending LEYF when the time comes too.

Our little one started @ the Earls Court London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) nursery when he was only 9 months old. What made us decide to choose this nursery was the family feeling and a sense of being welcome from day one; all staff have been extremely friendly, helpful and supportive. Our little
one settled in really well and has enjoyed his time there so far. We are very happy about the fresh food cooked on site every day and the multiple spaces available to the children. As parents, we are kept updated consistently with messages on feeding, changing and sleeping throughout the day through a secure app. Children are split by the right age group but also spend time together to improve their learning and social skills. They are able to easily spend time outdoors as the nursery has a lovely, recently renovated back garden that allows for play times and learning. In brief, we would highly recommend LEYF Earls Court Nursery to other parents who are looking for a cosy nursery with a great team and a family feel.

We went to visit The London Early Years Foundation (LEYF), Earls Court Nursery & Pre-School when our son was only a few months old and we immediately noticed how attentive, careful and kind each member of staff was towards the children. This was the main reason why we chose it as nursery for our son
and today, after several months he has been attending, I can confidently say that my first impression has been confirmed every day. The teachers are loving, supportive (both with the children and the parents) and wonderful educators. Always open to questions and to a chat, it gives me great reassurance to receive updates on my son’s development and what he does during the day. Our son has made a lot of friends and adores the teachers; in fact, some of their names have been among the very first words he has said. If you are looking for a nurturing environment where your child can develop and thrive, I would highly recommend LEYF, Earls Court.

He has developed in many ways since attending the nursery thanks to his teachers. I feel happy to have found a nursery that I trust my child with and that my child feels

From the start, our 16-month-old daughter has formed a wonderful bond with her key educator, who is attentive, nurturing, and deeply invested in her developmental milestones. The variety of activities they engage in daily, such as messy play, drawing, music sessions, and storytelling, ensures that she
is not only learning but genuinely enjoying her time at the nursery. London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) is keeping parents involved and informed through their platform(App), providing us with updates, photos, and important information about our daughter’s day-to-day activities and progress.


The environment at LEYF is warm, welcoming, and so are its staff. We are very happy we chose LEYF, and we look forward to seeing our daughter continue to grow and learn in their hands.

My son attends the London Early Years Foundation (LEYF)Nursery in Earls Court, and we're thrilled with his experience. Warm greetings welcome him each day, setting a positive tone. The knowledgeable and attentive teachers foster a fun and engaging learning environment. The preschool program offers diverse
activities, ensuring holistic growth. Food prepared by an exceptional chef adds a special touch, with delicious treats and nutritious meals. Pre-School teachers are friendly and supportive. Leyf has noticeably enhanced my son's development. It's evident that the staff are dedicated and caring. Leyf Nursery excels in nurturing children and fostering learning. It's a decision you'll be glad you made.

Our son has been going to Earls Court since June 2023.
We are thoroughly enjoying his time at Earls Court. He has made so many wonderful friends and has learned so much. We are so grateful for the care and attention that he has received from all of the teachers.
All the teachers are so skillful and
experienced. Especially the nursery manager and the deputy manager are managing and handling very well. My son’s key worker is so protective of my son and we admire her passion for caring about kids. We can count on them for a child’s development for sure. And they are always welcome to have questions and concerns, which was very crucial to us.
And the meals are incredibly diverse! I wish I could have had it when I was a child.
Anyway, I recommend Earls Court for 100%!

Our daughter is now 3 years old and has been going to Earl’s Court Nursery & Pre-school for almost two years. She recently transitioned to the pre-school room.
We are very happy with the exceptional care provided for her. The staff in the baby and toddler room have been amazing and they have become
a second family to our daughter. The activities provided stimulate significant learning and growth on a cognitive, emotional, and social level. Our daughter has developed beautifully under the nursery’s care. She made great friends there and so did we as parents.
We especially would like to thank the nursery manager who has always been understanding, caring, and accommodating towards us. We always recommend the nursery to our friends and would recommend it to anyone!

The wide range of activities along with the caring and especially nurturing teaching style of the team make it a great place for children to learn and grow. It is in my point of view an amazing place
offering top care to children of all abilities. Very professional, great job guys. I recommend.

My son has been in the baby, toddler and pre-school rooms at LEYF Earl’s Court Nursery, a period that included covid - and is now finally off to big school (weep). I have been so impressed by the manager and her energetic team. They fill the long hours of childcare offered with so many activities and
have taught my son not only hygiene, healthy eating and self-care but numbers, shapes, months, ABC, letters, traditional stories, manual skills, yoga, etc (you name it). They’ve also been on interesting outings. All was rounded off by a very sweet graduation ceremony for the leavers, complete with caps and gowns. My son has enjoyed his time here and always talked positively about it. Thanks to LEYF, he is a well rounded, curious and social little boy who I feel is exceptionally well prepared for Reception (he can’t wait to start!) Much better value in my view than many of the other nurseries round this area, which offer far fewer hours of care.

Our daughter attended the nursery for 11 months and really enjoyed going to school. The teachers were attentive, positive, and encouraging - they gave each child space to develop their own interests and capabilities. Our daughter’s picky palate has also expanded thanks to the delicious and nutritious
food served at the nursery! She especially loved the mini garden indulging in outdoor play, gardening, yoga, and more. Despite attending the nursery for a relatively short time, her social and communications skills has improved tremendously. From being reserved, she is now a confident chatterbox. We will miss the nursery dearly.

My son has been attending the Earls Court Nursery for the past year and a half and he's growing into a little man thanks to the dedication and love from the staff, including both his direct teachers and supporting staff. He started off in the toddler room and then moved into the preschool room. I am

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.901)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.901) out of 10 for Earls Court Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.901 for Earls Court Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (297 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 322 Ratings = 4.901

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Earls Court Nursery & Pre-School is based on 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 49 number of registered child places is 9.8, which has been reached with 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
