Rated Good by Ofsted, Soho Nursery and Pre-School provides Early Years education and childcare to children from birth to 5 years old.
You can find us tucked away beneath the streets of Soho, close to Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square underground stations. We’re a cosy nursery in an intimate setting, with separate spaces for different age groups and a secret underground garden!
Our experienced staff plan each day with help from the children. There are so many activities to choose from – including acting, dance and film-making, cooking, gardening, science and woodwork. We lead in community work and the expressive arts.
The children love to explore the local area too, enjoying outings to tourist attractions like the National Gallery.
Our chef provides all meals on-site, using healthy recipes from LEYF’s menu.
We also offer term-time-only sessions between 9:00am and 3:00pm.
