This nursery is excellent. The staff, facilities and overall culture are second to none and my son absolutely loves coming everyday. All the staff at London fields LEYFS are experts who take part in regular professional development which is evident in the planning of daily activities and learning. Play is organised, fun and encourages important inter-personal skills. I love all the singing and movement play. But they also take part in a range of water play, cooking and shared activities - even gardening! I think it's very important that the children are also learning about and celebrating all cultures too.

My son started at the nursery when he was 11 months old and has been there for nearly 3 years now. The staff are wonderful and very caring. It's true that other nurseries might have slightly better outdoor facilities but the team makes up for it in creativity.

I love the nursery and the staff are amazing. From day one I always felt safe leaving my child in the trusting care of the team. The programs are diverse and inclusive, the staff are professional and always welcoming.

Good staff and responsible childcare, excellent activities and daily entertainments for the children, well-managed nursery and smaller groups make it easy for kids to adapt and interact with each other.

My son started attending this nursery last month and he settled in so quickly. I was very surprised because he was getting through his separation anxiety phase, but the staff are so lovely and so professional that he felt at home straight away. They accommodated his need for breast milk and have been so helpful and supportive with me too as I transition to going to work and getting separated from him. The environment is warm, nurturing and positive. The kids are kind and supportive with each other, which is so sweet. What I really appreciate is the feeding: they all sit on a little table facing each other, despite being babies and have the most delicious and varied food every day. I feel calm going to work knowing that he is in such safe and able hands. He always looks so happy when I leave him in the morning and when I pick him up in the afternoon. Thank you all for making this experience so easy and reassuring for both of us.

Our daughter had a very good time at the nursery (we left recently because we left the neighbourhood). She always enjoyed going there and was never eager to leave. The staff is very friendly and understanding with parents. You can see that they very much care about the children, especially the manager and one of the staff members in the baby room. The app is a good way to know how the day went, but more importantly, the staff is always available for a chat. The nursery is conveniently situated on a no-through road, which means that there is no risk associated with traffic during pick-up and drop-off.

Our son started here two months ago after not having a great experience at his previous nursery, and changing him to London Fields Nursery has been the best decision. In such little time, we have seen huge changes in our son, he is happier, communicating more verbally, and more imaginative. The staff are extremely caring and experienced and actively support each child’s interests. Activities are thoughtful and varied, and the nursery is well-staffed and organised. It also has a large outdoor space which is hard to find in the area.

London Fields Nursery is a great environment for children with amazing space for play and learning, including outdoor space, small toilets for potty training, and a professional kitchen to cook daily meals. Children are encouraged to be independent and take controlled risks (walking up and down stairs, exercising outdoors), and the staff is professional and kind. I was really happy to register my child here!

The place is fantastic. The architecture of the building reflects the qualities of the nursery. A calm, cosy, timeless place. It feels familiar. An ecosystem that protects, nurtures and promotes positive values. We wish the world would be like this nursery. We see our daughter happy, willing to go, but also developing skills that she is picking up just at the nursery that balances and strengthens the education at home. Overall it has been a very positive experience.

This nursery is excellent. The staff are kind and welcoming. My daughter settled into the baby room easily and loves the staff and the food. The communication from the nursery is excellent, I really value having updates through the app on what my daughter has eaten and when she’s slept.

Our daughter started at the wonderful London Fields Nursery & Pre-School when she was 11 months old. It was such an easy transition as the team took great care of her and were very mindful, calm and caring. Every single one of the caregivers have been incredible with her and have kept us updated every step of the way. The nursery shows great values and have taught our daughter the importance of setting her own boundaries to others and exploring her own limits for herself. They constantly provide creative ways for development and play and really do put the children first. We are very sad to leave the nursery which is only due to moving to another area. Special thanks for making our daughter safe and happy to all the staff members and especially the room leader and the head of the nursery.

Our daughter started young at six months and stayed there up to 19 months. The team took such great care of her as she was the youngest. Loved the team and the manager. They have a great outdoor area, are always creative with different activities and do amazing initiatives (charity). We were very sad to leave due to a move out of the area. Strongly recommend this nursery.

We are so happy with this nursery! Our daughter started when she was 18 months and is now 3 years old so we've experienced all the rooms, and can say they are equally great. The staff are incredibly caring and knowledgeable about how to support small children and take a real interest in developing our daughter as an individual. The room leader is constantly thinking of new ways to inspire the children from doing yoga, and trying out languages to making enormous papier-mache sharks together. We feel really lucky to have found the nursery - couldn't recommend it highly enough.

A Lovely nursery where they genuinely put the children first. My daughter started in the toddler room this January and she has settled really well. The staff love the children and are really relaxed in front of the kids, letting them play and roam freely with loads of space and activities set up each day. Behind the scenes, they are monitoring development and updating parents. There is an app where you get sent pictures and alerts for meals and nappy changes. They have stringent safety and safeguarding regulations and I have no doubt that my daughter is safe and happy there. The lady who runs to the room is absolutely lovely, as are the rest of the staff. The head of the nursery is great and has such dedication to the children's development. Meals are cooked on-site and there is a sensory room and great outdoor space.

My son has attended London Fields nursery since he was thirteen months old and having viewed a lot of other nurseries and actually accepting a place to start elsewhere, I came and saw London Fields on a whim after a friend mentioned the Leyf group to me and I never looked back! From the first show around, I knew that this would be the best environment for my son and also for my own piece of mind - as a parent you always worry right? So London Fields felt like a home away from home, with such wonderful 7 strand social learning ethos. A year on, they have not disappointed! My son has gone from a baby to a thriving, confident, caring and chatty toddler. He loves all the staff at London Fields and has made some wonderful friends who he talks about endlessly. The nursery team are full of care and love for our little boy and it really does show and I am so grateful. The outdoor space is fantastic and the home-cooked healthy menu is the best I've seen! Thank you London Fields, we love you!

Lovely nursery, with very dedicated teachers and staff, lots of creative activities, big garden. Our son really likes it here, feels connected to his key persons and his friends. We like to know that he is in good hands.

Both our three year old and one year love their days at nursery here. The recent settling in process for our youngest was carefully managed and he has taken to nursery so well, thanks in no small part to the highly personalised care and routines that have been established. The nursery feels like an extension of home, with adults who take time to get to know you and we all feel cared for. I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough.

My child absolutely adores London Fields Nursery and Pre-School. Since starting 3 months ago he's advanced so much, in such a short space of time. Really worth every penny; I'm so glad we were able to send our son here. All my interactions with staff have left me so impressed. The staff are proactive and caring and always well organised and coordinated. The talented management staff have promoted a caring and nurturing environment all based on the LEYF pedagogy. I sent my son here full time aged 14 months after enduring 3 months of challenging mealtimes where he had zero interest in weaning. I didn't know what I was going to do. Then, within his first week of nursery, he started coming home with a strong appetite and eager to engage with mealtimes. I am truly grateful to London Fields Nursery for this breakthrough! London Fields Nursery and Pre-School is a rare gem of a nursery with a wonderful community; we are so lucky!

London Fields Nursery & Pre-school has a real sense of community and I feel very lucky to have found it. The staff there are warm, caring and friendly and I have full confidence in sending my daughter here and she is so excited to go in the mornings! I’m kept up to date with all her activities, learning and play and feel very listened to. I feel like I’ve found ‘my village’ of support in the City. We couldn’t be happier.

My son has been attending London Fields nursery since he was seven months; he is now three. The staff are brilliant. They are professional and caring. The place has been recently refurbished and the rooms are spacious, clean, airy, and bright. I highly recommending this place!
