‘Children flourish and develop superior levels of self-esteem and confidence…They start school with an abundance of knowledge and skills and a love of learning.’ Ofsted 
Rated Outstanding by Ofsted, Marsham Street Nursery and Pre-School provides Early Years education and childcare to children from birth to 5 years old.
We’re situated in Westminster, behind Tate Britain and not far from Pimlico underground station. The nursery is set on three levels, with separate floors for each age group. We are also lucky enough to have two gardens for the children.
We inspire the children to learn through curiosity and discovery. There are so many activities to try with our experienced staff, from small world play with mythical creatures to woodwork, cooking, yoga, climbing and more.
The children love to explore too, enjoying outings to St James’s Park and Tate Britain.
Our chef prepares all meals using healthy recipes from LEYF’s menu.
Meet the manager
Merita, nursery manager
Hello, my name is Merita and I joined LEYF in 2011. I trained as a lawyer in Kosovo before moving to the UK in 1992, when I started working with young families and children. I am a passionate supporter of LEYF’s social purpose to give all children the very best start in life, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds who might otherwise not be able to access high quality Early Years education and care.
At LEYF, all staff live our values.
