Our take

Independent co-ed nursery in Westminster for ages up to 5. Non-selective intake, Jewish ethos.

Best for
Who thrives here
  • Children aged up to 5.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Families who value a Jewish ethos in school life.
  • Families who would rather not put their child through a selective entrance assessment.
Watch-outs
Know before applying
  • Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.
  • The Jewish ethos shapes assemblies, holidays and pastoral life. Comfortable for committed families; worth thinking about for those of other or no faith.
  • SEND provision isn't documented in our profile. If your child has an EHCP or specific learning needs, ask admissions about case-by-case capacity before applying.
