My daughter started attending the Earls Court nursery in 2019 when she was a ten months old baby. We have been with this nursery for almost four years now and it has become our second family. My daughter absolutely loves this place and is happy to go there every morning. The nursery teachers are caring
and professional, provide a wide variety of developmental activities for children, do a lot of play, reading, and singing (my daughter knows so many nursery rhymes now!), support in learning, and helped with potty training. They provide regular feedback on my daughter’s development and give advice on home learning.
The nursery has a great on-site chef who cooks fresh food and takes into consideration children’s specific dietary requirements and allergies (which was very important for us). And her fruit cakes look amazing! The nursery has a cute backyard and children spend a lot of time outside.
Overall, I would highly recommend this nursery as our experience with it is very good.

Our daughter joined LEYF Earl's Court in January 2022, aged 2. We could not be happier with our choice of nursery. The previous manager and the current manager have done a great job in creating a nurturing and safe environment. We love that children are engaged with different activities every day, that
the room manager and his team keep us posted on the progress or issues encountered by our daughter, that the school is flexible in terms of entry and pick-up times, that they encourage parents to form an inclusive community. Above all, we feel that the staff truly care about every single child, respect their uniqueness and help them grow into confident and kind people. The facility is not particularly fancy (good size rooms but quite old and a bit decadent) but this is a lower-order problem. Our daughter is always happy when we pick her up, and this is reassuring. Contact the nursery directly if you plan to apply (central admin never replies!).

Over the past two years of bringing my daughter here, I have felt safe and secure knowing she is in very good hands. My daughter has enjoyed her time at Earls Court and I could not have asked for a better start to her learning journey. I am so grateful to all the staff especially the staff in the preschool
room. We will miss the nursery when she attends primary school in September.

Our daughter has been at Earls Court London Early Years Foundation since she was 7 months old (heading to reception in the fall) and it is truly her second family. The staff are loving and caring and she has learned a lot since joining - especially in the preschool room there are many science experiments
and practical activities that challenge the kids to think. Of course alongside the usual painting, arts and crafts, singing and dancing, yoga, reading books, and practicing letters and numbers.

Our child was was so incredibly happy at the nursery. She learnt so much, made the best friends and loved the staff.
We loved he diversity of activities, friendship that our child had the opportunity to have.
The food menu is really well catered. It was a balanced diet and also offered our child to
try different tastes.
The area of improvement is a renovation of the nursery, especially the inside.

My only feedback; at pick up times, the staff could help us to hold the children while we open the pushchair, sometimes a few children run to the street.

Earls Court Community Nursery was the perfect platform for my daughter’s happy and smooth transition to school. She started school feeling extremely confident, joyful and excited. Her new teachers highlighted how well prepared she was to start reception. Staff were hugely professional and the wonderful
learning experiences at the nursery were underpinned by a truly nurturing environment. Staff genuinely tried to make every child under their care feel special, and reach their full potential, through an abundance of encouragement and kindness. As working parents, we were immensely relieved to know that our daughter was in such great hands.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We have been very fortunate that our two daughters have attended this nursery. Our eldest has just finished her 1st year in school and our youngest is due to start soon.


Our eldest started out as a reticent two-year-old but by the time she left she had really come out of her shell to become very

confident and outgoing. I believe that the support of all the staff was key in making this happen. Evidence of this is when, at the end of her 1st week of school, her teacher said how well she had settled in, how easily she made friends and that it was a sign that she had been to an excellent nursery.


Our youngest is more outgoing and the environment there has allowed her to do those things that she loves as well as encouraging her to learn new skills and challenge herself. Each member of staff brings their own unique experience - one staff member has helped her to learn Spanish which she has enjoyed so much that she is now learning at home!


We cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!

The only person who loves this nursery more than we do is my daughter! We have been to three nurseries and this is by far the best. The staff genuinely cares about each child and their progression. We are currently trying to eliminate our daughter's dummy and as anyone who has gone through this process
knows, it can be extremely annoying, but each staff member has indulged our request with a smile on their face and more importantly, a loving heart. I can confidently recommend this nursery based upon my own personal experience at other establishments, the amount of happiness the staff and the other children have brought my daughter, and an overall sense of security knowing our child is in a loving and safe environment.

All staff are very supportive and aim to achieve the best communications with the parents, carers or nannies.
They form a powerful team facing any challenge with professionalism and positivity. During the time my daughter has attended the nursery, I have seen them working together for the best of
the children and they have gained my respect and trust.
They pay special attention to the dietery needs of the children and do so many wonderful things every week with them, like yoga and science. They also organize regular party times so us parents can enjoy our children, dancing, singing and just really enjoy their time at the nursery. Just recently I started potty training my daughter and her key person has been very supportive.
Overall, I am very pleased with my choice and I am grateful that my little one is surrounded by wonderfull dynamic people - I am definitely recommending Earls Court Community Nursery to other parents, as their child will be taken care of on many levels.

My 3-year-old daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 1.5 years old, and she absolutely loves it.
She made great friends here and learned so much from playing with older classmates and spending time with babies. All the teachers are very caring and easy to talk to. They have helped
us through potty training and has been a big support during her changes in sleeping habits.
What I also love about the nursery, is that it is very open to parents. I like to pop in to watch the kids do show and tell and join them for cooking classes. They also have workshops regularly and fun parties for the children and their parents.
I highly recommend the nursery, it is one of the best in the neighbourhood for sure.

Both our children started attending the nursery on a full-time basis when they were 6-months-old. Our eldest is currently at the nursery’s pre-school room and the youngest is still in the baby room.
We chose this nursery for the professionalism and kindness of its staff. We feel that they truly care
about the development and well-being of each child.
Although the garden is rather small, the staff propose a wide range of stimulating activities, ranging from book reading in the baby room to yoga and storytelling in the pre-school room. They regularly invite parents to join activities and encourage us to provide feedback. My family appreciate their constant efforts in building an inclusive community and improving their services.
But the most important aspect for us is that my children love going there, they feel safe and happy there, they are fond of the staff and their friends from nursery and so are we!

We’ve been very happy here for one year now after a nervous start when our 10 month old baby first joined. We now have come to find the staff as part of our extended family and our boy has come on leaps and bounds. We’re sure he’s much more sociable with good language skills thanks to all the teaching
the team does.

What I very much like about this nursery are the friendly staff who work there. They know all of the children, whether they be in the baby group, toddler group or pre-school group. My son is in the pre-school group and he loves the fact that he is not restricted to activities and can join the toddler
group playing outside if he doesn't want to be indoors with his group.

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.
