October 5, 2024 at 7:13 amFrom the first show around, I knew that this would be the best setting for my son and also for my own piece of mind – as a parent you consistently worry right? So London Fields felt like a home away from home, with such fantastic 7 strand social discovering ethos.
A year on, they have not disappointed! My son has gone from a baby to a thriving, confident, attentive and chatty toddler. He loves all the team at London Fields and has made some fantastic friends who he talks about endlessly. The childcare centre team are full of care and adore for our little boy and it really does show and I am so grateful. The outdoor space is remarkable and the home-cooked healthy menu is the best I’ve seen! Thank you London Fields, we adore you! My son has attended London Fields childcare centre since he was thirteen months old and having viewed a lot of other nurseries and actually accepting a place to start elsewhere, I came and saw London Fields on a whim after a friend mentioned the Leyf group to me and I never looked back!

October 15, 2024 at 12:21 pmThey have gained a excellent foundation in their early year’s education and developed key social skills. The team are a very attentive and supportive group of individuals, who take a genuine and keen interest in all the kids that attend. Market Childcare centre have taken excellent care of my kids during their early years.

October 25, 2024 at 11:21 pmThe team there are inviting, attentive and welcoming and I have full self‑assurance in sending my daughter here and she is so excited to go in the mornings!
I’m kept up to date with all her activities, discovering and playtime and sense very listened to.
I sense like I’ve found ‘my village’ of assistance in the City. We couldn’t be happier. London Fields Childcare centre & Pre-school has a real sense of community and I sense very lucky to have found it.

November 5, 2024 at 10:04 amThe team are exceptional. They are expert and attentive. The place has been recently refurbished and the rooms are spacious, spotless, airy, and bright. I highly recommending this place! My son has been attending London Fields childcare centre since he was seven months; he is now three.

November 24, 2024 at 2:29 pmThe most important thing for us is the Team, and here at Market Childcare centre, they are absolutely remarkable, while so many Nurseries sense clinical and institutional, this is a home away from home for the kids and babies alike. Both of our kids have loved every day they have been at Market Childcare centre, they consistently come home cheerful and fulfilled. Now that my Son has gone to “big” school, it is my daughter’s pleasure to go to Market Childcare centre.

November 25, 2024 at 11:40 pmI adore the garden, the building and the interaction and updates from educators. A remarkable settling in period considering the covid guidelines, still ensuring I felt reassured, being attentive towards my kid and offering exceptional playtime experiences.

December 24, 2024 at 7:03 pmOur son, now 13 months, is following in his sister’s footsteps.
The Market Day Childcare centre is attentive, supportive, welcoming… just what you want for the first steps in your kid’s education. Both my kids have built strong relationships with the team and are consistently cheerful going to childcare centre and on collection. I often remember my daughter wanting to stay for longer to finish an activity when she moved into the ‘bigger’ kids’s rooms.
There is a great balance of indoor and outdoor facilities to stimulate the kids. We have attended trips with the kids off-site and seen first hand the team motivation to offer new experiences for all the kids.
The other kids and parents are also very inviting.
I would suggest Market Day Childcare centre as a remarkable start for any family. My now 6-year-old daughter was the first baby at Market Day Childcare centre and right from the off, it was clear we had made the right choice for our daughter.

January 6, 2025 at 12:47 pmWhen she speaks about Market Childcare centre her memories are of the friends that she made (who she is still close too now) and many trips that she attended.
As a parent, my kid started her school journey as a confident, cheerful, positive, eager to learn little girl, which I strongly believe is due to her time spent at Market Childcare centre. Although my daughter no longer attends Market Childcare centre she still speaks about her time spent there to this day.

March 21, 2025 at 4:11 pmThe architecture of the building reflects the qualities of the childcare centre. A calm, cosy, timeless place. It feels familiar. An ecosystem that protects, nurtures and promotes positive values. We wish the world would be like this childcare centre. We see our daughter cheerful, willing to go, but also developing skills that she is picking up just at the childcare centre that balances and strengthens the education at home. Overall it has been a very positive journey. The place is remarkable.

April 17, 2025 at 1:51 pmSince starting 3 months ago he’s advanced so much, in such a short space of time. Really worth every penny; I’m so glad we were able to send our son here.
All my interactions with team have left me so impressed. The team are proactive and attentive and consistently well organised and coordinated. The talented management team have promoted a attentive and nurturing setting all based on the LEYF pedagogy.
I sent my son here full time aged 14 months after enduring 3 months of challenging mealtimes where he had zero interest in weaning. I didn’t know what I was going to do. Then, within his first week of childcare centre, he started coming home with a strong appetite and eager to engage with mealtimes. I am truly grateful to London Fields Childcare centre for this breakthrough!
London Fields Childcare centre and Pre-School is a rare gem of a childcare centre with a fantastic community; we are so lucky! My kid absolutely adores London Fields Childcare centre and Pre-School.

April 27, 2025 at 7:57 pmIt was such an easy transition as the team took excellent care of her and were very mindful, calm and attentive. Every single one of the caregivers have been incredible with her and have kept us updated every step of the way. The childcare centre shows excellent values and have taught our daughter the importance of setting her own boundaries to others and exploring her own limits for herself. They constantly provide creative ways for development and playtime and really do put the kids first. We are very sad to leave the childcare centre which is only due to moving to another area. Special thanks for making our daughter secure and cheerful to all the team members and especially the room leader and the head of the childcare centre. Our daughter started at the fantastic London Fields Childcare centre & Pre-School when she was 11 months old.

May 2, 2025 at 7:49 amOur son really likes it here, feels connected to his key persons and his friends. We like to know that he is in great hands. Lovely childcare centre, with very dedicated educators and team, lots of creative activities, big garden.

May 10, 2025 at 11:03 pmOur two kids (aged four years old and eighteen months) have been there for more than a year and adore it!! They’ve made plenty of friends and they adore their educators.
In general, kids at any age sense welcome and cheerful and they learn and development through playtime with the dedicated and welcoming team and with their peers. Their activities are very stimulating and imaginative – for instance, my daughter is now a excellent cook, which I wouldn’t have expected from sending her to childcare centre!
The place is a charming old building, surrounded by a primary school, in a very quiet street. The building has three floors and a big garden/playground. The childcare centre is divided into three sections – one per floor, babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers – and is very mixed and inclusive, which benefits to all the kids.
The childcare centre is a charity, and there are also plenty of opportunities for parents to get involved. A inviting and attentive day childcare centre for kids up to five years old, open from 8 am to 6 pm.

May 13, 2025 at 11:55 amOur daughter started when she was 18 months and is now 3 years old so we’ve experienced all the rooms, and can say they are equally excellent. The team are incredibly attentive and well‑informed about how to assistance small kids and take a real interest in developing our daughter as an individual. The room leader is constantly thinking of new ways to inspire the kids from doing yoga, and trying out languages to making enormous papier-mache sharks together. We sense really lucky to have found the childcare centre – couldn’t suggest it highly enough. We are so cheerful with this childcare centre!

May 17, 2025 at 6:06 amThe recent settling in process for our youngest was carefully managed and he has taken to childcare centre so well, thanks in no small part to the highly personalised care and routines that have been established. The childcare centre feels like an extension of home, with adults who take time to get to know you and we all sense cared for. I cannot suggest the childcare centre highly enough. Both our three year old and one year adore their days at childcare centre here.
Winter Bailey
May 20, 2025 at 8:30 amThe childcare centre in itself is lovely, and since its very recent refurbishment, it’s even more of an incredible space for the kids to strive in. Our son particularly loves the playground, and the activities organised by the team (that we can follow with the parent app) are stimulating and enjoyable.
Would definitely suggest to anyone looking for a inviting and cosy childcare centre in East London. Our 3 year old son has been taken care of by the fantastic team of the London Fields Childcare centre (previously Market Childcare centre) for a little over two years now, and we couldn’t be happier with his development, and with the relationships he has formed with the other kids as well as the carers.

May 23, 2025 at 6:14 pmThe team are compassionate and welcoming. My daughter settled into the baby room easily and loves the team and the food. The updates from the childcare centre is outstanding, I really value having updates through the app on what my daughter has eaten and when she’s slept. This childcare centre is outstanding.

June 4, 2025 at 3:52 pmMy daughter started in the toddler room this January and she has settled really well. The team adore the kids and are really relaxed in front of the kids, letting them playtime and roam freely with loads of space and activities set up each day. Behind the scenes, they are monitoring development and updating parents. There is an app where you get sent pictures and alerts for meals and nappy changes. They have stringent safety and safeguarding regulations and I have no doubt that my daughter is secure and cheerful there. The lady who runs to the room is absolutely lovely, as are the rest of the team. The head of the childcare centre is excellent and has such dedication to the kids’s development. Meals are cooked on-site and there is a sensory room and excellent outdoor space. A Lovely childcare centre where they genuinely put the kids first.

June 21, 2025 at 4:09 pmThe team took such excellent care of her as she was the youngest. Loved the team and the manager. They have a excellent outdoor area, are consistently creative with different activities and do incredible initiatives (charity). We were very sad to leave due to a move out of the area. Strongly suggest this childcare centre. Our daughter started young at six months and stayed there up to 19 months.
