September 20, 2024 at 6:48 pmIt has far exceeded our expectations. Both kids are very cheerful and excited to go in each morning and talk enthusiastically about their days at pickup. The team are fantastic, they truly care about each kid and are consistently available to parents for any questions or concerns. Both kids have grown hugely in self‑assurance and ability since starting and we could not suggest them more highly. Our son and daughter have been attending North Bridge House West Hampstead for almost a year.

September 30, 2024 at 11:15 pmNorth Bridge House West Hampstead provides a nurturing setting for its pupils and has instilled in our kids a sense of curiosity and a adore of discovering. 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 team are all fantastic, 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 kids!). Our kids (both in pre-reception) adore this school.

October 12, 2024 at 6:59 amWe have found the teaching team to be attentive, enthusiastic and supportive of each kid’s character and potential. The assistance team are outstanding and the site is consistently spotless. Senior management are visible and responsive to any queries or concerns, consistently aiming to work in partnership with parents. Thanks all! Our two kids (childcare centre and year 1) have a fantastic 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!

November 10, 2024 at 10:12 amThe team take the time to make the kids sense cheerful and comfortable and continually provides interesting activities for them to learn. There’s a real community sense to the school, like a village childcare centre in London. My son has settled in really well at North Bridge House and has benefitted from the care and outstanding facilities in the childcare centre.

January 3, 2025 at 7:55 pmWe particularly delight in 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. Our son thrives at NBH, the educators and team are remarkable creating a enjoyable and engaging atmosphere for discovering.

January 15, 2025 at 5:31 pmThe educators here are exceptional and everyone involved in the day to day running of this childcare centre makes this place a very special and highly recommended childcare centre. Thank you North Bridge House Nursery for looking after our son so amazingly well. Our son has been attending North Bridge House Nursery West Hampstead since September 2020 and we are very cheerful he has evolved and grown throughout the year and whenever we pick him up he has a huge smile on his face.

January 17, 2025 at 1:58 amThe facilities are outstanding, 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 educators are fantastic, the atmosphere is warm with kids becoming great 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. North Bridge House pre-prep in West Hampstead is a very nurturing setting.

January 17, 2025 at 3:55 amWe just moved from abroad and this was our first journey 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 adore their approach to discovering through playtime, I have seen my son develop and thrive so much and in such a short time. The educators and all the team are so expert, attentive and nurturing. I adore the community sense of the whole school. It just feels like a big family. I would definitely suggest North Bridge House West Hampstead! I cannot be happier with my son attending North Bridge House West Hampstead.

February 15, 2025 at 10:57 pmThe well-trained team have helped him develop self‑assurance 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 setting is very welcoming to siblings as well as anyone connected to your kid. The small class sizes give it a village school sense 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 adore, care and assistance we have received as a family and will cherish this chapter in the life of our kid. I would highly suggest this school to anyone. My son has built a solid foundation at this fantastic school.

March 18, 2025 at 4:20 amHe 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, cheerful 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 educators 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 cheerful at the childcare centre, has made fantastic friends and runs into childcare centre every day Our son has attended the school since it opened.

April 15, 2025 at 3:14 amHis 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 adore of discovering early in the kids’s education. All the cute things they do such as having chicks and caterpillars in the school really create a nurturing setting of care and kindness. We are very cheerful there and I have been so impressed by the adore and care given to my son. My son has really thrived at the school.

April 16, 2025 at 1:24 amShe has settled in immediately and managed to form strong bonds with most of the kids and the educators. It is a relatively small childcare centre and you really sense part of a family here. The team is extremely attentive and expert, consistently 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 fantastic way of discovering! My daughter has been very cheerful here and I couldn’t suggest it enough! My daughter has attended this childcare centre since September 2020 and this was the first childcare centre she has ever been to.

May 2, 2025 at 11:13 amOur son is in reception and we see how he flourishes with the help of everyone at the school. He has advanced immensely in his self‑assurance, as well as in his academic and social skills. We are very pleased with the school, our son’s educators are all lovely and very expert.
Riley Blair
May 5, 2025 at 5:10 amPractically, the options for extended days including before and after school clubs are really supportive.
Overall we are very cheerful with our time at NBH-WH and would highly suggest it. The childcare centre at North Bridge House – West Hampstead has been outstanding for our daughter.
From the supportive, attentive setting to the incredible activities they do each day (pretend playtime, garden time, dance and PE classes, etc), she has thrived since joining in September.
We appreciate the team who are all lovely and their efforts the build relationships with each kid individually.

May 5, 2025 at 9:46 pmWe moved to London two years ago and our main concern was to make sure our kid who has some discovering disability and needs assistance would settle in a school that suits his needs. The development he’s been doing in the last months is truly incredible and heartwarming. His class has a small number of kids and the educators are dedicated and supportive. The school team make sure we are updated and informed about his daily routine and It’s consistently a pleasure seeing the photos on the school app of the kid’s activities and reading what they’ve learned. I would highly suggest North Bridge House to any parent who wants to make sure his kid is getting the best assistance and educational setting in the early stages. Our 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.
Jordan Norris
May 12, 2025 at 4:48 pmIt is a very special place and incredible to find in this part of London – really feels like a community village school. The educators are incredibly nurturing, and the lesson is very creative so the kids can learn intuitively through playtime. Our family loves North Bridge House West Hampstead.
Sidney Drake
June 9, 2025 at 4:02 pmIt has been the best decision we have made about her development. The educators and team provide a nurturing and warm setting 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 consistently the highlight of our day! Would suggest it to any parent! Our daughter has been attending North Bridge House Nursery – West Hampstead since September 2022.
River Walker
June 15, 2025 at 10:29 amThey have created an extremely nurturing setting and there is a excellent sense of community amongst the parents too. Would suggest it to anyone. Our daughter has settled incredibly well at North Bridge House and loves going every day.

June 22, 2025 at 9:42 amOur son started during the pandemic and this was the first childcare centre he had attended. The team are all so supportive, accommodating, welcoming and attentive from the caretakers to admin and teaching team. There is a very personal sense to the childcare centre which we adore, despite the childcare centre being one of several branches of the NBH schools portfolio. The facilities are lovely with everything thought through, including a canopy outside so the kids 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 suggest this childcare centre without hesitation. We can’t speak highly enough of the team and facilities at North Bridge House Nursery West Hampstead.
