The London Early Year's Foundation (LEYF) is the UK’s most well-known and respected childcare social enterprise, providing day care and parenting support to an incredibly diverse mix of families in 24 community, workplace and Children’s Centre nurseries across six London boroughs.

Since 1903, we have continued to place the child at the centre of all we do - with a foundation based on caring, nurturing and safeguarding. Through our unique curriculum, we focus on each child’s cognitive, social, emotional and physical development. The quality of our learning environments and excellence in childcare is recognised through parental feedback as well as external assessment.

We have developed a unique social business model that uses sustainable income from our nurseries in more affluent areas to actively target the heart of some of the capital’s most deprived communities; in doing so, we make high quality day care available to families that have traditionally been unable to reach or afford it, and typically need it most of all.
