Our take

Independent co-ed nursery in Westminster for ages 2–5. Non-selective intake, Jewish ethos.

Best for
  • Children aged 2–5.
  • 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
  • Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.
