Nursery for 2 year old girl - NW

Hello parents! I am looking for advice as we are new to town. My daughter turns 2 next month and is showing signs of being very autonomous, curious, keen to learn. She has an older brother who she constantly is learning from - he just started at the Hall. I am looking for a nursery to offer her the right stimulation, academic support (not too pushy though) while being nurturing and all-round. In other words, not singularly prepping for exits but helping raise a happy child who is keen to be outdoors, playful and curious. Which schools should I consider? Looking for all recommendations, but also keen on any parents with girls currently or previously at Hampstead Hill, Broadhurst, Mulberry house, and the likes.
Thank you!

Goodness!
Mumsnet has readers in
several countries, not just England and most certainly not just London.
Some people act as though nowhere outside London matters.

with all due respect, I clarified promptly and apologised as well. You feeling the need to drag this out further away from the topic of the OP just confirms you have nothing of value to add. I’d suggest you find another place to bash..

That might have been helpful, yes Smile

Op for local recommendations like this, i’d recommend turning to something like Facebook which has local groups. And also contacting nurseries yourself to see if any actually has space. Many nurseries have a wait list of a year, especially since the increase of funded hours.
