The standard of care at the nursey is excellent. Everyone is extremely personable and really care about the children, their wellbeing and development. The nursery is very clean and has good facilities (apart from buggy storage which I believe has been rectified). There are lots of community opportunities
at the nursery and the management work really hard to put a curriculum of events for parents and children together, to encourage them to interact at the nursery with other families. Most importantly for me, my daughter loves going to nursery and that is the best recommendation that you can get!

As a family, we absolutely love our Earls Court Community Nursery. Children are taken care of by a dedicated, loving and competent staff. They spend a lot of time outside in the little garden as well as in arts and crafts activities. We are kept informed on a regular basis of what is going on and we
are often invited to come and join for various activities. Our toddler is for sure benefiting from this environment and, most importantly, is very fond of the nursery.

This is a really child orientated nursery which embodies a sense of community. My daughter attended from 12 months until 4. The staff are lovely and the children well looked after. Parents are actively encouraged to engage in various activities, events or forums which are beneficial for all.

I am satisfied with this nursery because there are lots of events, activities and education. However, as the air inside the room is always bad, I want you to be a little more ventilated.

I am very pleased with the nursery, my child has learnt a lot. The only thing I would like to be improved is the outside space. Other than that, excellent nursery.

Very pleased with the nursery.
However, concerned about the constant issue with the main door not closing properly. Also, staff turnover is high. I also wish the children had more outings to museums.
Also, I haven't had an update on my child's development.
However, overall am pleased with nursery.

Reply from Hayley Creasey, Marketing and Communications Executive at Earls Court Nursery & Pre-School

Dear Parent,
Thank you for your feedback. We have been experiencing some difficulties with the timings of the closing mechanism on the front door. After reflecting on the issues and consulting with parents we believe we have managed to solve the issue. The front door is fitted with a safety mechanism which is automatic, the timing of the opening and closing has been altered and meets all the safety regulations.


We have a core team of longstanding staff at Earls Court and have been fortunate with new employees joining the team. We have a dedicated recruitment department and with a robust induction programme in place to ensure we are recruiting and retaining high-quality staff. We also have volunteers and parents attending the nursery on a regular basis, we have a photo board in reception to ensure parents are able to identify who people are.


Regular ongoing trips take place into the community following the children’s interests. We always welcome ideas and suggestions, and for our families to volunteer attending the trips, and moving forward we will be advertising the trips in advance to allow families to join us. Recently the children visited Finborough Theatre to experience the thrill of the stage and practising performing arts as well as going behind the scenes to look at the dressing rooms and props. We are in consultation with one of our local parents to start visiting the local museums and parks as a weekly excursion along with parent volunteers.
Thankyou
The LEYF Team.

Earls Court Community Nursery is warm and friendly. The staff go above and beyond for the children they care for. I have had 3 children attend this nursery and love the fact that employees remain the same and still care for their past pupils. The staff leave a lasting impression on both the children
and the parents, which gives you a sense of ease.
They have a wide range of activities that help support the children and prepare them for primary school. They introduce the children to different food cultures which broadens their sense of adventure.
I would recommend this Nursery to anyone.

There are excellent employees here. They love their careers and love this group of lovely children. They are very responsible. Have a clear teaching plan and insist on working with parents to do a good job in family reading.

My daughter started when she was 3 months old. I was very worried to leave my little one but I was happy because she seems very well. This is a good nursery. I'm a nurse and I'm very conscientious about the hygiene, I can tell this nursery is very clean. My daughter has always been treated with the
best care. Always clean nappy and clean clothes, she loves going to the nursery. The staff are so kind, very professional and thoughtful. I would recommend this nursery highly, even for the youngest babies. Thank you so much to all the staff for your kindness and your professionalism.

My son went to this nursery 4 years ago, now my little girl go to this nursery 5 days a week.
This nursery is the best for me, the staff are highly trained and friendly. Facilities are perfect.
The food is cooked by a chef and its amazing, children are taught to eat everything and share.
They learn
lots of things (singing, baking etc)
Of course the working hours is also a good point 8am to 6pm.
The staff care a lot about the children.
When I leave my daughter in this nursery I have no worries.
The manager is for me a second mother.

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.
