Heron Quays Day Nursery & Preschool

"We are very happy with Heron Quays Day. Our 15-month-old has settled in really well. We sent him there when he was 10 months old and have seen how the nursery staff are genuinely engaged with the children and care about their development and well-being."

Discover what sets Bright Horizons Heron Quays Nursery Apart

Heron Quays nursery and preschool is a spacious nursery where we aim to work with our families to support children’s individual development and learning outcomes. Nestled in the heart of Canary Wharf’s Heron Quays, our location offers an ideal base for busy parents working at the Wharf. We’re just a short stroll from both the Heron Quays DLR station and Canary Wharf Underground station, and we provide a convenient car park to ease pick-ups and drop-offs, as well as a milk-station and nursing area for added comfort. Additionally, our parents’ space gives families a private and welcoming area to chat with us about your child’s needs.

Our purpose-built five nursery rooms, are all tailored to the specific needs of different age groups, fostering individual learning and development. Your baby will be fully supported moving from home to nursery as we follow their individual routines, making this a smooth and positive transition for all the family. We have a beautiful outside area and all-weather adventure garden where our children enjoy a range of activities.

For older children, when it comes to outdoor play, your child will be truly spoiled with our beautiful garden area and adventure garden, which includes age-appropriate toys and activities. The children love going on outings in Canary Wharf to explore the local area, 'dig' the local construction work, and watch the boats as we walk along the pier.

Our curriculum is built on the foundations of the government's EYFS curriculum, it combines a wide range of activities to nurture and develop the skills your child needs to flourish and reach their full potential. And while your child is busy exploring and having fun, we can keep you updated via our Family app. Available for all Bright Horizons parents, this will keep you connected with your child's day-to-day experiences and up to date as they develop during their time with us. We also offer all-inclusive care with an onsite chef providing nutritionally balanced meals, and our fees include snacks, nappies, wipes, formula, and creams.

Nursery Fee Calculator

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working, or you get discounts from your workplace.

Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.

When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.

Estimate your fees

Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.

In the meantime, if you need some answers or to book a nursery visit, then please call us on 0203 370 1299, our friendly team is here to help.
