Spring Open Days

Rated Good by Ofsted, Children’s Garden Nursery and Pre-School provides Early Years education and childcare to children from birth to 5 years old. You can find us on campus at the University of East London (UEL), close to several DLR stations. We are a community nursery, open to all. Many of our staff speak more than one language.
Our friendly, dedicated staff run lots of activities designed to bring out the potential in every child. The children enjoy science experiments, cooking, gardening, construction, messy play with sand and water and more.
Meet the manager
Ramona, nursery manager
Hello, my name is Ramona and I am the manager of Children's Garden Nursery & Pre-School. I have worked for LEYF since 2016. People would describe me as nurturing, passionate and organised. I love being manager of Children's Garden, especially the fantastic location, which provides us with endless opportunities for real life experiences to extend children's learning.
At LEYF, all staff live our values.

We are curious, bold and adventurous. We push boundaries and test new ideas, always standing up for the rights of children.
Inspiring
We encourage continuous development for children and staff. We challenge each other to question and explore so we learn together.
Nurturing
We are warm, caring, loving and welcoming. We create safe and homely environments for each child.
Fun

Food and nutrition at LEYF
Healthy eating is important at LEYF. Our chefs, trained at our Early Years Chef Academy, understand children’s specific nutritional needs, and how to encourage children to be adventurous in their tastes. We cater for different dietary requirements and allergies.
