The social enterprise nursery group has been granted a 15-year lease to operate three of the council’s settings based within its children’s centres – Nestles Avenue Early Years Centre in Hayes, South Ruislip Early Years Centre and Uxbridge Early Years Centre.
LEYF is due to take over the running of the nurseries, which together offer around 100 childcare places, in March.
Services currently ran from the centres have been relocated to other centres within the borough.
The move comes two years after Hillingdon Council planned to close the settings, but was persuaded by parents to continue to operate them on a reduced scale to minimise costs while they were prepared for sale.
