London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) Tech Stack
Network of 43 London nurseries transitioning from Excel-based ops to cloud-first infrastructure
LEYF operates 43 early-years facilities across London, predominantly in deprived areas, and is mid-transformation from spreadsheet-driven workflows to Microsoft cloud infrastructure (Azure, Dynamics 365, Power Platform). The hiring mix—137 education roles against sparse ops/HR—reveals growing pains typical of mission-driven nonprofits scaling: active HRIS migration, data governance gaps, and workflow automation gaps are all live projects. Microsoft Fabric adoption signals a shift toward centralized data visibility, replacing fragmented Excel-based reporting.
