Salcombe prep and Holland House

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has children at the above schools?
DS is turning 3 in a few months and we are considering either Salcombe prep (for preschool) or staying in our current private nursery and then Holland House (at 4+)
Both schools are on our way to work so drop offs and pick ups are no problem.

TIA

Salcombe is good. Great results last few years. Downside is small school so you need to supplement sports elsewhere if your children are into that

Salcombe is very good, offers excellent pastoral care and wraparound care as well for working families. Like the other OP said, it's a small school and so if sporting activities are your focus then you will need to supplement with extra curricular activities.

Holland house is a great school for academics and one of the cheaper private schools. Only thing is facilities but if academics is your goal then this is a great school and nuturing
