May 27, 2021 at 12:00 amWe can’t speak highly enough of the team and facilities at North Bridge House Nursery West Hampstead. Our son started during the pandemic and this was the first nursery he had attended. The team are all so supportive, accommodating, friendly and caring from the caretakers to admin and teaching staff. There is a very personal feel to the nursery which we love, despite the nursery being one of several branches of the NBH schools portfolio. The facilities are lovely with everything thought through, including a canopy outside so the children can still get outside even in poor weather. Our son loves it – and even cries to go back when we pick him up! We couldn’t be happier and have already put our daughter down to attend when she is old enough. I would recommend this nursery without hesitation.

May 27, 2021 at 12:00 amOur children (both in pre-reception) adore this school. North Bridge House West Hampstead provides a nurturing environment for its pupils and has instilled in our children a sense of curiosity and a love of learning. We’ve been delighted to see not only how much they’ve learned, but also how their social skills have developed since joining North Bridge House. The staff are all wonderful, and the headteacher takes a very hands-on approach (star of the week getting to walk the head teacher’s dog is a particularly nice touch – they know how to motivate young children!).

June 13, 2021 at 12:00 amNorth Bridge House pre-prep in West Hampstead is a very nurturing environment. The facilities are excellent, lots of time is spent outside in the backyard which is a big plus for me. There is also forest school once per week. The teachers are wonderful, the atmosphere is warm with kids becoming good friends. My daughter loves going there and raves about activities and after school clubs (currently gardening and ballet). When she was out for a couple of weeks (due to Covid) the school made an effort to include her in certain activities virtually which was really nice. Strongly recommended.

June 21, 2021 at 12:00 amOur son has been attending North Bridge House Nursery West Hampstead since September 2020 and we are very happy he has evolved and grown throughout the year and whenever we pick him up he has a huge smile on his face. The teachers here are exceptional and everyone involved in the day to day running of this nursery makes this place a very special and highly recommended nursery. Thank you North Bridge House Nursery for looking after our son so amazingly well.

July 29, 2021 at 12:00 amOur son has attended the school since it opened. He had attended two nurseries prior to that and this is the best. Facilities are large, spacious rooms and a large garden. Kids constantly flowing between rooms and the garden. Teachers are attentive, happy and of high calibre. Good ratio. Our son’s language, numeracy and social development here has far exceeded our expectations. Feedback is regular, detailed feedback is provided by the teachers daily at pickup; posts on the Cognita Connect app; weekly newsletter and detailed end of term reports. Leadership is outstanding, she is hands-on, receptive and achieves results. Outside daily at drop-off and knows how our son was the day before with impressive detail. Always available for questions, feedback and responds to requests (e.g. arranged a holiday club within months of parents requesting). Our son is happy at the nursery, has made wonderful friends and runs into nursery every day

May 30, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son and daughter have been attending North Bridge House West Hampstead for almost a year. It has far exceeded our expectations. Both children are very happy and excited to go in each morning and talk enthusiastically about their days at pickup. The staff are wonderful, they truly care about each child and are always available to parents for any questions or concerns. Both children have grown hugely in confidence and ability since starting and we could not recommend them more highly.

June 9, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended this nursery since September 2020 and this was the first nursery she has ever been to. She has settled in immediately and managed to form strong bonds with most of the kids and the teachers. It is a relatively small nursery and you really feel part of a family here. The staff is extremely caring and professional, always available for any questions you might have and really giving each kid the individual attention that they need, emotionally and academically. Plenty of activities every day and also they attend forest school on a weekly basis, which is a wonderful way of learning! My daughter has been very happy here and I couldn’t recommend it enough!

January 27, 2023 at 12:00 amOur family loves North Bridge House West Hampstead. It is a very special place and amazing to find in this part of London – really feels like a community village school. The teachers are incredibly nurturing, and the lesson is very creative so the children can learn intuitively through play.

January 30, 2023 at 12:00 amOur two children (nursery and year 1) have a wonderful time at North Bridge House – both running in with big smiles on their faces and running out with stories of adventures and handfuls of artwork! We have found the teaching staff to be caring, enthusiastic and supportive of each child’s character and potential. The support staff are excellent and the site is always spotless. Senior management are visible and responsive to any queries or concerns, always aiming to work in partnership with parents. Thanks all!

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has built a solid foundation at this wonderful school. The well-trained staff have helped him develop confidence and emotional intelligence. They have helped develop his imagination and solve problems in the most imaginative ways. The school’s ethos travels with him wherever he goes and I am eternally impressed by how it manifests in different social situations.
The environment is very welcoming to siblings as well as anyone connected to your child. The small class sizes give it a village school feel and a warmth which can be hard to find. The school instils the right values and the pastoral care has exceeded all expectations. I have also really enjoyed the tea and snacks at events from the onsite Brazilian chef and cuddles with the resident school dog aka Wilson.
We are very grateful for the love, care and support we have received as a family and will cherish this chapter in the life of our child. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son has been attending North Bridge House West Hampstead since September 2022 and I can honestly say this has been our best decision regarding our son’s education and development. We moved to London two years ago and our main concern was to make sure our kid who has some learning disability and needs assistance would settle in a school that suits his needs. The progress he’s been doing in the last months is truly amazing and heartwarming. His class has a small number of kids and the teachers are dedicated and supportive. The school team make sure we are updated and informed about his daily routine and It’s always a pleasure seeing the photos on the school app of the kid’s activities and reading what they’ve learned. I would highly recommend North Bridge House to any parent who wants to make sure his kid is getting the best support and educational environment in the early stages.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has settled in really well at North Bridge House and has benefitted from the care and excellent facilities in the nursery. The staff take the time to make the children feel happy and comfortable and continually provides interesting activities for them to learn. There’s a real community feel to the school, like a village nursery in London.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has really thrived at the school. His speech has dramatically improved, and he has been well-socialised. The range of activities the school offers is exceptional and they really do instil a love of learning early in the children’s education. All the cute things they do such as having chicks and caterpillars in the school really create a nurturing environment of care and kindness. We are very happy there and I have been so impressed by the love and care given to my son.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amThe nursery at North Bridge House – West Hampstead has been outstanding for our daughter.
From the supportive, caring environment to the incredible activities they do each day (pretend play, garden time, dance and PE classes, etc), she has thrived since joining in September.
We appreciate the staff who are all lovely and their efforts the build relationships with each child individually.
Practically, the options for extended days including before and after school clubs are really helpful.
Overall we are very happy with our time at NBH-WH and would highly recommend it.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son thrives at NBH, the teachers and staff are fantastic creating a fun and engaging atmosphere for learning. We particularly enjoy the additional activities that are offered from the ukulele and cooking after-school clubs to swimming and forest school which are part of the curriculum.

April 27, 2023 at 12:00 amWe are very pleased with the school, our son’s teachers are all lovely and very professional.
Our son is in reception and we see how he flourishes with the help of everyone at the school. He has advanced immensely in his confidence, as well as in his academic and social skills.

April 27, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been attending North Bridge House Nursery – West Hampstead since September 2022. It has been the best decision we have made about her development. The teachers and staff provide a nurturing and warm environment with lots of creative and stimulating activities that have allowed our daughter to thrive. They have also supported her through a number of transitions including toilet training and welcoming a new sibling and encouraged her to acquire new skills to aid independence. The daily app updates are always the highlight of our day! Would recommend it to any parent!

May 17, 2023 at 12:00 amI cannot be happier with my son attending North Bridge House West Hampstead. We just moved from abroad and this was our first experience at a British school and are so pleased with our choice. The school is fairly new so the facilities are top-of-the-line. I love their approach to learning through play, I have seen my son develop and thrive so much and in such a short time. The teachers and all the staff are so professional, attentive and nurturing. I love the community feel of the whole school. It just feels like a big family. I would definitely recommend North Bridge House West Hampstead!
