Two campuses for growing needs
North Bridge House Nursery School occupies a large Victorian villa on Fitzjohn’s Road in leafy Hampstead. The charming building provides a safe and secure environment for children to grow and develop in the Early Years, with bright, spacious classrooms and two expansive playgrounds to facilitate games lessons and outside learning.
Minutes around the corner, the Pre-Prep School is situated in Netherhall Gardens, a quiet cul-de-sac off of Fitzjohn’s Avenue. Like the Nursery School, it is a historic Victorian villa, making the transition from one building to the next a natural and reassuring process for our pupils. The Pre-Prep is equipped with specialist spaces and classrooms are light, airy and customised to meet the growing needs of our children.

ENABLING ENVIRONMENTS
Learning through play is an inclusive and naturally engaging way to promote the holistic skills and knowledge children need for the future. Which is why we create enabling environments that support our children's diverse motivations, interests and needs, leveraging their innate curiosity to ensure optimal learning and development in the formative years of education.
Whether it is the gym at the Nursery or the multipurpose lunch room at the Pre-Prep, our spaces provide lots of opportunity for movement and action, facilitating gymnastic practice, dance lessons, drama workshops and performances. Our large music room is also perfect for lessons in rhythm and movement as well as rehearsals for the children’s yearly concert.
Our spaces all provide opportunities for creativity and imagination, independence and collaboration, and outside, the generously sized playgrounds and climbing frames ensure there is never a dull playtime. Planting areas and veg patches and, at the Pre-Prep, the children's very own wormery, facilitate the likes of science lessons, minibeast hunting and Gardening Club.
From The Nest in Nursery or the Library at Pre-Prep to the inclusive set up of our classrooms, we provide a platform for developing social skills like communication, collaboration, and empathy. Dedicated spaces for art and construction afford further opportunity for social and emotional development, as well as the building of problem-solving skills and cognitive growth. At the Pre-Prep, iPads are integrated into classroom learning as another creative and motivating means to support collaborative yet individually tailored learning.
