About Us

The London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) is a growing family of community nurseries across several London boroughs. We work with communities and parents to enrich and extend children's learning, so that each child is the best they can be. Since 1903 we have seen our organisation as a catalyst for long-term social change, not just a successful business. By supporting the next generation of people who will shape our world to become healthy, happy adults, we are changing the world one child at a time. At LEYF we aim to promote 50% of our leaders from within and nurture our staff to help them progress in their careers. Each person who joins the LEYF family will work with their Manager to create a development plan. If you aspire to become a manager or you want to be the best you can be in your role, LEYF, using our coaching and mentoring approach, coupled with our famous LEYF Academy courses, will support your journey.
