Moving back to London - Prep Schools

DH has recently been offered his dream job in London, we have been living in Paris for the last few years and we have 2 children, our eldest is 19 months, our youngest is 3 weeks.
We have both lived in London before but this was as students or young professionals so we had very different priorities.
Before we settle on an are we want to know what our school options are.
The main priority is a school which is nurturing, small, academically supportive but not necessarily pushy. We have two daughters so we are open to all girls schools, we are also open to 4-18 schools.
We’d like good sporting facilities (so probably none of the super central schools with limited space).
Obviously our children are too young for us to know their exact personalities yet but I guess I’m looking for multiple options to consider.

We are most likely to house hunt in south west, west and north west London, potentially open to other areas but areas like Dulwich is a no from us, probably also no to Greenwich too.

Any schools anyone can recommend?

Children travel all over within London (and travel out of London as well!) for secondary. Or even board. Move to the area to like which is close to the prep school you like.

Sevenoaks isn’t in London…

It's like London but nicer!
