About Us

A warm, second home in Leytonstone.

Morning Glory Pre-School is a small, nurturing setting where children aged 2–4 are seen, heard and celebrated every day.

Our story

Fourteen years of nurturing young learners in Waltham Forest.

Morning Glory Pre-School was founded with one mission: to give every child in our community a warm, professional and joyful start to their early years education. We are a small, Ofsted-registered setting based at 296 Cann Hall Road, Leytonstone — proudly serving families across Waltham Forest and East London.

Our director leads a close-knit team of qualified Early Years practitioners who get to know each child individually. We follow the EYFS framework, document progress through Tapestry, and work closely with parents at every step.
