Greengate Nursery and Pre-School (formerly known as The Early Years Nursery)

At Greengate Nursery (previously The Early Years Nursery – Ofsted Good) we provide a warm and welcoming environment where children from birth to 5 years old can thrive. Our experienced and dedicated teachers create a nurturing space where every child feels valued and respected.

Our nursery grounds are unique and operate from a converted barn-style building in Plaistow, Newham, a 10-minute walk from Plaistow station. We have a large garden space for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers.

We are proud to be one of the newest additions to the LEYF family of high-quality nurseries.

Our children begin learning from the moment they arrive at Greengate Nursery, with activities like self-registration fostering independence and early literacy skills our warm and supportive relationships between staff and children create a secure and happy environment where children can flourish.

We provide effective support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

We offer a wide range of enriching activities, such as imaginative role-play, outdoor exploration, outings in the local community and creative art, stimulating their curiosity and encouraging learning.

Meet the Manager

My name is Morgan Parker and I am the manager of Greengate Nursery and Pre-School. I started working in nurseries as an apprentice in 2012 and have since gone on to gain my Level 3 in Childcare and BA Hons in Early Childhood Studies. I have a passion for outdoor learning and believe in the incredible benefits it brings to young children. Exploring nature helps develop their confidence, creativity, and curiosity, fostering a love for learning through hands-on experiences. I’m dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where children can grow, thrive, and discover the world around them.
