It is with tremendous excitement that we officially welcome you to our brand new website!

Since the exciting launch of our new identity in 2009, we have wanted our website to better reflect who we are and what we do.  Finally, after much consideration and many months of hard work, we are proud to finally unveil what became a major project – both in terms of content and vision.

The most significant change we hope you will quickly appreciate is the new and very clear focus on the three core elements of what we have to offer:

1. Outstanding daycare in our community nurseries.  We have made a real effort here to make it quicker and easier for parents to get a real sense of what we offer children in our care, then find and get in touch the nursery most suited to their needs.
2. Great value, professional training programmes.  We place great importance in the quality of our nursery staff, and so are excited by the potential to share our unique approach to training and the quality of our research that supports it.
3. Simply good parenting advice.  We’re especially excited by the opportunity to give today’s parents a head start, by sharing all we have learned over the past 109, caring for an incredibly diverse mix of children from across London.  With a wealth of practical ideas and advice, we hope our website will increasingly prove a useful resource for parents, especially those who may never benefit from the great service and support our nurseries provide.

But none of this would have been possible without the support, personal recommendation and (sometimes) incredible patience of all our parents, partners and staff – so a sincere thanks to you all as we start this small but significant new chapter in our treasured story.
We can only now hope that you agree, as a visitor to this website and possible future ‘friend of LEYF’, that our online future now looks as exciting as we believe our even greater potential for impact in the real world; building a better future for London’s children.
So, feel free to say a while and come back often – but stop reading now, look around and do let us know what you think!
