The Cavendish School Nursery is situated near Regent’s Park and welcomes girls and sibling boys aged from rising three years upwards. Pupils in the nursery have ample space both in and out of doors to enjoy childhood and education to the full. Life there is safe, happy and stimulating, with daily learning through free play and investigative activities, alongside teacher led challenges.
Some of the nursery children are bursting with curiosity and ideas; spirited, engaging and articulate. Others are beginning to find their feet. The Nursery understands that children develop at different rates and have far ranging interests; their curriculum is personalised to meet each child's individual needs.
In addition to the nurturing, experienced team of staff and very high adult to child ratio, the Nursery boasts specialist teaching in music, French and PE. Wholesome lunches are prepared each day and are included in the cost.
The Nursery is part of The Cavendish School. Pupils joining Nursery progress through to Reception aged 4 and girls generally stay in The Cavendish School until they transfer to senior school at 11+, for which they are exceptionally well prepared.

The Review Score of 6.8 (maximum of 10) for The Cavendish School Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 3 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for The Cavendish School Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 2.0 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 2 years. (A 2 year period has been used as there were no positive reviews in the last 12 months)
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.833 for The Cavendish School Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (31 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.833
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 1.985 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Cavendish School Nursery is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.5 then divided by 2 = 1.750
Target of 6.4 positive Reviews (32 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 3 Reviews ÷ 6.4 Target = 0.469 , then divided by 2 = 0.235
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

We couldn't be happier with the school generally, especially the nursery which our daughter has been in for 2 years, as she started before being 3.

I feel quite happy that we were able to send our son here for his first experience at a school. He has had the best start to his education as the attention and 'homework' we do with him has helped prepare him for his future.

I don't know where to start with how brilliant the Cavendish nursery is! The environment is very pleasant and playful, allowing children to roam free whilst being safe. They learn a lot whilst playing. The teachers are very attentive, caring and loving and very considerate. All the children look happy there - we could not wish for a better nursery.
