Hi NW London parents! Could anyone share views / feedbacks on the NW London nurseries such as clowns (how is the pastoral care, is it nurturing?), Broadhurst (saw some pretty bad comments on here), Mulberry and Hampstead hill (do they support Childrens who may want to try 4+ at other pre-prep schools)? Any other nursery recommendations are welcome too! 🙏

I didn't find Clowns nurturing at all and took my son out after a year. You only go to Clowns because it'll get you in at 4+. Ditto Broadhurst and HH. I don't know mulberry.

Wouldn’t recommend clowns. They might have good results, but there is no guarantee that your bright child will get to those top schools as it’s not very meritocratic environment.

Can you elaborate?

My DD is in MH. They definitely support 4+, we just went through the process. We got into one of the schools we wanted and were waitlisted for our top choice. You may want to look at their leavers destinations on their website.

Anyone got views on broadhurst? Our DS is likely to start there but we can also choose clowns. We were previously at HH with our DD and didn't love it...

@preppingforlife May I ask why your DD didn’t like HH? We are considering this for our DD thanks

Our DD enjoyed it. We just don't like the 7+. It's almost too brutal in our view - we think 4+ is a little easier on the kids.

Hi all
We are considering a nursery for our DD. Clowns vs Mulberry.

Any useful feedback appreciated?
