Early Learning Years Nursery

A Home From Home Where Children Thrive!

After moving to London from Bangalore, ELY Nursery was a perfect launchpad for my toddler for the cultural integration and confidence-building in a new setting. ELY Nursery focuses on building an environment that stimulates and motivates kids with meticulously pre-planned activities and events. The app-based real-time updates, kids with highly diverse backgrounds and ever-smiling staff are something we truly cherished. Shoutout to Shareena for managing the daily operations so well!

My daughter Linda has been attending early nursery for the last few years and she had a brilliant time but when she attended she was a baby the staff supported her very much.
staff takes safety very seriously even with minor bumps and scrapes the building is a fantastic space with an amazing playground in the garden and the kids have so much fun.
All the members of staff are kind and friendly and my daughter has become very attached to them.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough in a word they are FABULOUS.

A truly lovely nursery, the staff are so genuine and attentive in their care and teaching. Having its own garden space with lots to do was a big plus for us too (since we live in a flat).

As parents, we’re grateful that they have always been flexible and accommodating to our needs and changing schedules. It’s become a constant, safe and happy space for both our babies over the years.

We visited many local nurseries and this one stood out as being the most intimate and homely, and because of that we’ve found our eldest is developing a lot of confidence in herself and her friendships from the attention that each child is given. We love that we get updates on what they got up to that day. Overall a very wholesome and happy nursery 😊

We have been extremely happy with the Ely nursery. Our daughter was immediately integrated into her room and had no trouble settling in. The communication from the staff and via the Famly app is outstanding and the daily updates are great. I have truly appreciated Ely's flexibility with start and finish dates and also the teacher discount has been great for our circumstances so this is also worth asking about. The fees are also reasonable compared to other nurseries. I recommend this nursery without hesitation. Others may have more modern facilities but don't choose a nursery based on this- it is all about the staff and the activities are also great!

This nursery is fantastic - really feels like a home away from home. The staff are absolutely brilliant and my son had a wonderful time there in the Red Room. I saw a big difference in his development when he joined. We are so sad to be leaving after only a year but we are moving neighbourhoods. I love how vibrant it is and honestly my son loves it so much. A huge thank you to all the staff for making Gabriel feel so loved.

Such a fantastic nursery! Our son has just moved on from the nursery to school and we couldn't fault it, it's a brilliant place. The green room in particular give so much attention and love into teaching the children through thoughtful activities and projects. The daily feedback and photos were also fantastic and so reassuring for parents. The teachers and management are both wonderful and get to know the children so well, our son has so many 'best friends' he'll always remember there.
The food is fantastic too, and we loved it being vegetarian as the variety of food is so broad and healthy.
The nursery takes so much care at special holiday times of all religions, it was great to see everything celebrated across the year. World Book Day, Halloween and Christmas were so special and so much effort put in!
We can't thank you enough ELY - we've loved it and will be back.

My elder son Riaan had been to this nursery and currently my 16 month old Akshat is also attending.
The staff are very loving and caring, Once he is at the nursery I am really worry free as it feels like a second home :)
The nursery is fabulously managed by Sharina and the operations are seamlessly run by Mya.
A big shout out to all the staff who have been a part of Riaan and Akshat’s growing up journey !!!

I was looking at this nursery for a year before finally deciding to register my daughter and I couldn’t have made a better decision! With all the activities they do everyday they helped and my daughter’s development is finally starting to show a lot of improvement, she’s finally showing off her personality and I couldn’t be more grateful for this! I also registered my youngest as well and again I couldn’t have made a better decision! I hope this few words will help any other parent looking for the best nursery for their child. I am so grateful and happy to see my daughters have their best time and learn new things every single day!



Both of my children have attended ELY Nursery, my daughter for three years, and now my son, who is currently there, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The level of care and attention the staff give to each child is amazing. Both of my children have absolutely loved their time at ELY. They’ve gained confidence, developed fantastic skills, and formed strong foundations that have helped my daughter settle into primary school.

What makes ELY so special is the nurturing environment and the consistency of the team. Many of the staff have been there for years, which says so much about the culture. One of my son’s teachers in the Amber Room has been there for over 10 years. The nursery really is our village and especially as we don’t have much family nearby.

A special thank you to Sharina, the wonderful nursery manager, and to all the incredible staff for the love, care and support you’ve shown our family. ELY Nursery has been such an important part of our children’s early years and we’re truly grateful.

I really love Early Learning Nursery it's amazing. All the staff are experienced and caring

Me and my wife could not be happier with the way our daughter was treated at ELY. She had the most wonderful send off with a Gradutation party at the end of term.
The staff are so welcoming, supportive and accommodating.
Special mention to Charu and Sharina who my daughter absolutely adored.
We will be sending our youngest to ELY very soon without any hesitation.
ELY is trustworthy nursery run by the most wonderful people. The food is also only vegetarian which is reassuring for us.

ELY nursery has been a home away from home for our children for almost 3 years now. Everyday the children engage in fun, well thought through developmental activities which help learn new skills, encourage critical thinking, tenacity and confidence, and build foundations for the future. ELY nursery has helped our children evolve academically, socially and emotionally. Most importantly throughout their time at the nursery our children felt safe, secure and comfortable.

The nursery staff take time everyday to fill parents in on all the activities children undertook during the day. It is always a pleasure to read through these updates, take note of the progress made and see the pictures of children having fun. If any questions or concerns arise, the management is always extremely helpful, responsive and understanding.

We are genuinely grateful to each and every member of ELY nursery team for their patience, care, kindness and guidance shown towards our children.

Absolutely delighted with early learning year's nursery ! My son  has been attending for the past year, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's development. They create a warm and welcoming environment where kids feel loved and safe.

Communication with parents is excellent. We receive regular updates and photos, which keep us informed about my son progress and daily activities. The nursery also priorities safety and hygiene, giving us peace of mind, especially during these times.

I have been immensely grateful for the care and support that my son has received during his time at this amazing nursery. We found a clean and welcoming environment, with a beautiful garden and friendly staff, adequate safeguarding and the food is really quite good and healthy, plus they prepare children very well for the transition to primary school. My little one really enjoyed his time there.

There is no better place than this kindergarten, unique staff, very kind, patient, share their time, make every child feel at home😊😊😊

Our two daughters currently attend ELY and our third will soon join them. The care and concern for each child here is amazing. Thanks to the entire staff - I never could have imagined this being so successful - we were looking for a few days of childcare and are getting so much more. Highly recommended for one and all.

ELY has been a wonderful environment for my son to learn and be nurtured. The feedback system works very well and we have always felt well informed of our child's development.

The care, love and encouragement he receives to explore and develop at the nursery is fantastic. So similarly the range of tasty, healthy vegetarian meals has definitely helped my son like a wide range of foods.

Its a superb, warm and nurturing environment where our son has flourished. We are hugely grateful for  the support, care and effort of all the nursery staff, chef and management go to on order to ensure our son have a wonderful nursery experience.

Our experience with ELY Nursery has been one of warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. My child attended the nursery over the summer, coming from a different country. Though she's a native English speaker, she was brand new to the UK setting. The seamless integration and warmth ELY Nursery provided was deeply heartening.

A special commendation to the classroom staff: Kiira, Nathan, Maria, Ana, and Sinead, who ensured a comforting environment, making the transition easier. The management team, Sat, Sharina, Mya, and Kiira, displayed exemplary commitment. Their adeptness at accommodating unique needs with flexibility, understanding, and kindness is laudable.

The nursery’s strengths lie not just in their educational approach, but also in the meticulous care they offer. The daily routine was well structured, balancing both learning and play. The convenience of their schedule and the added bonus of providing all meals truly enhanced our experience, making it hassle-free. Their planned excursions added a touch of excitement and exploration for the children.

A massive shoutout to Tara's primary contacts: Kiira, for her thorough information and constant reassurance, Sat, for being a pillar of support throughout, Mya, for her efficient communication and genuine kindness and Sharina for her consistent support and understanding. The way the entire team accommodated my child's needs, especially during challenging days, spoke volumes about their commitment.

To anyone considering ELY Nursery: This institution truly embodies the ethos of a nurturing environment. Our heartfelt gratitude to the ELY Nursery team for being an anchor during our stay in London. We would undoubtedly choose ELY again!

ELY nursery has exceeded our expectations in every way. From the attentive and caring staff to the engaging curriculum and safe environment, it's a true haven for kids. The nurturing atmosphere and the incredible staff members gave us a complete peace of mind and allowed our little one to develop her skills and become an independent and confident little person. We couldn't be happier with our choice. If you're looking for a great place for your child to learn and grow, look no further.



This is a wonderful nursery! My son is lucky to be here. Although he was only 2.5 years old, he was given 15 free hours at Ely Nursery. We were met by a wonderful team. In this kindergarten, children have everything for development and entertainment. My son loved attending the nursery. I always received a photo report about what activity my son is engaged in. He molded dough, blew soap bubbles, prepared imaginary tea in a toy kitchen and treated the teacher to it, and did many other things. He always returned home satisfied.

What an absolutely wonderful nursery. As soon as I went to visit I knew it was the right place for our daughter, it truly does feel like a home from home. All the staff, including management, are warm and clearly caring, which filled me with confidence. The personal touches the nursery adds, like colourfully decorating the whole place monthly to celebrate a whole spectrum of cultural events are more meaningful than some other 'added extras' I know other nursery's employ. I was especially delighted by the wonderful Christmas celebration they carefully plan for the children and parents. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend ELY.

I have no words to thank all ELY nursery staff for the amazing job they have done with my little Emilie for almost 2 years. We are relocating out of London so sadly we had to say bye few weeks ago. She joined the nursery when she was 10 months and since they one everyone she settled easily. I got daily feedback on the day and I have been able to see my little one arriving happy in the mornings and leaving happy in the evenings. Food is very good and specially Loiuse, Veena, Sam and Georgia from Amber room have given Emilie a great education and care. Big thank you as well to Sharina and June for the great advice to me and the love given to Emilie. I highly recommend ELY nursery!!! Best nursery in London!!!

There are no words can describe how special ELY nursery has been to us over the years. A home from home, my son has come away with friends forever, memories to last a lifetime but moreover, the greatest foundations ready for him to start in Reception.

ELY might not be the newest and most 'modern' looking nursery but it is the most nurturing and loving.

The low staff turnover reflects the excellent management and care of the team itself, but the team are amazing. I miss them all: Nathan, June, Alex, Sharina, Sinead, Esther, Maria - they are all superstars.

Sat, the owner, is so personable and has been so accommodating over the years (including having my son visit for odd days after he started school!).

I didn't know they made nurseries like this anymore, but we certainly struck gold when we found you.
