North London Prep Nursery Admission

I have spent a lot of time reading about the various exams for North London prep schools and we already feel “put off” by schools assessing at aged 3 for a spot at age 4. But that seems to be the norm so we shall accept that!

However, AIBU that a prep school nursery wants to assess my 18 month old for a spot when he turns 2? I feel it’s not right to judge an 18 month old, and he is still rather clingy and very shy in new environments given his age. So I feel uncomfortable that they’d be watching him play and assessing if he’s good enough. HE IS 18 MONTHS…..
AIBU that this is bizarre?

Literally never heard that about any of the top north London nurseries (hhs, clowns, Broadhurst, etc)

I have never heard of this. I suspect that they would actually be assessing you.
