Welcome to Nursery & Pre-Prep West Hampstead.

North Bridge House Nursery & Pre-Prep West Hampstead provides a sensitive transition and unique introduction to school life, immersing children in a rich and varied academic and extra-curricular programme from the outset of their education.

From ages 2 to 7, children benefit from a specialist Early Years and Key Stage 1 programme, tailored to their individual needs and expertly preparing them for Prep School.

Through our holistic approach to child development and nurturing environment, we focus on enhancing pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development to provide a fully rounded education.

It is through developing each child personally as well as academically, and fostering a genuine love of learning, that we set children on a clear journey, to find their True North.

Knowing the individual.

We pride ourselves on really getting to know each individual child on their journey through Nursery and Pre-Prep, to Prep School and beyond. Through our personalised approach in a small school environment, we help each child to achieve their full potential from the start of their school career.

Wellbeing & Support

Fostering academic excellence.

We develop the fundamental skills upon which pupils’ future successes are built, with 97.5% of KS1 children at or exceeding the age-related expectation in English, Writing and Maths. We prepare pupils for progression to NBH Prep School, and to many of the top senior schools in the country thereafter.

Academic Results

Cultivating character and promoting wellbeing.

Happiness is the key to success in the formative years of education. From philosophy and dance to school pets and Forest School, we grow pupils’ confidence and self-awareness while providing a learning experience which extends far beyond the four walls of the classroom.

Specialist Teaching Expertise.

At North Bridge House Nursery & Pre-Prep West Hampstead, we take children above and beyond the national curriculum. Beyond the Early Years Foundation Stage framework and Key Stage 1 curriculum, children benefit from subject specialist teaching in French, Italian, music and dance, while progress-enhancing initiatives such as Philosophy and Forest School are also timetabled into the school day.

We understand that the Early Years are fundamental to a child’s academic and personal development, and we are committed to guiding and supporting both parents and pupils through school life here at North Bridge House Nursery & Pre-Prep. From our ‘New to North Bridge’ events, to our ‘Parent and Child’ mornings, and providing expert advice on fussy eating, sleep, toilet training and screen time, we are focused on your child’s development as a whole.
