Our Nursery in Leyton

A Home-From-Home Where Curiosity Blossoms

The Nook is a nursery designed for curious minds and gentle beginnings. Created by passionate Early Years educators, we’ve reimagined what a nursery can be, warm, homely and filled with real-life textures, not plastic toys and bright walls.

Our Early Years Approach

The Curiosity Approach

Our setting is inspired by ‘The Curiosity Approach’, where natural materials, open ended resources and beautiful, intentional spaces invite children to wonder, question and explore. It’s a place that feels more like home than a classroom, where every corner holds a chance to discover something new.

Give them the best possible start

Early years foundation stage (EYFS) framework

We follow the EYFS framework through a child-led lens, using the rhythms of the day, the interests of each child, and the world around us to build meaningful learning through play.

Testimonials

Kind Words From Happy Parents

We couldn’t be happier with this nursery.

We couldn’t be happier with this nursery. From the very beginning, the team made us feel so supported and reassured. Our daughter is only 11 months old, so naturally I was quite anxious at first, but those fears disappeared very quickly.

The environment is calm, nurturing, and welcoming, and the nursery team are always smiling and so gentle with the children. Our daughter settled in beautifully and adapted far quicker than we ever expected, which really speaks to the care and attention she receives every day.

We’re incredibly grateful for such a wonderful team and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

Niclette, Parent

Chloe, Parent

The Nook Nursery feels like home

My son just started The Nook Nursery on his 15 hours free from WFC (Waltham Forest Council). Kane has really settled in at the Nursery he loves his teacher. He has so much fun there that home time is a real problem he never wants to leave. They do loads of activities with the children like painting, drawing play with sand and water they go to the park. They given them snacks and water. They are a very friendly welcoming team. And the Nook Nursery feels like home.
