A place to grow

Heron Quays Day Nursery and Preschool provides care and education for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Located 500 meters from Canary Wharf and with Heron Quays DLR and Canary Wharf tube station a short walk away, it is ideally located for commuting parents, enhanced by the underground buggy storage on site.

Along with our unique Growing Programmes, children benefit from additional weekly music lessons. Our outdoor space gives children the opportunity to explore the world around them.

We also have an on-site hair salon for children, available on Wednesdays from 8:30am-6:30pm
