North Bridge House Nursery & Pre-Prep School (becoming Alleyn's Hampstead Nursery and Junior School in September 2026) provides children with a rich and rounded start to school life from the day they turn 2 years old. Early learners are immersed in a fully rounded academic and extra-curricular programme, designed to develop the whole child and delivered by subject specialists from the very start of their educational journey. They tailor their Early Years provision to each child’s individual needs, establishing a genuine love of learning during the formative years of education and setting children on a clear path, to find their 'True North'.
With individual support from early years experts, children make excellent progress in their learning and are very well prepared for the next stage of their education.
The school’s warm and nurturing environment, inspirational teaching and broad curriculum altogether inspire children to become confident learners, while a wide range of extra-curricular activities - including school trips, performances and after school clubs - also contribute to pupils’ social and emotional development.
North Bridge House Nursery & Pre-Prep School occupies a charming Victorian villa in leafy Hampstead, North London, complete with library and music facilities as well as an indoor gym and two beautifully large playgrounds. Additional wraparound includes the popular Breakfast Club, Tea Club and Holiday Club, so that when school's out, families still have reliable childcare solutions.
From September 2026 onwards, this school will be known at Alleyn's Hampstead Nursery and Junior School and will offer places for Nursery to Year 6.

There is a lovely drama teacher that my little one adores.
The classroom is in the basement and quite dark but there is a marvellous outdoor space with car racing tracks and plenty of activities including PE etc.
All other nursery classes for the older kids are based on the ground floor level and are quite large and sunny.
My little one is happy at the North Bridge House Nursery School.

North Bridge House Nursery School is a lovely warm nursery with a strong ethos running throughout led by the long-standing headmistress. It is a friendly nursery, full of buzz and creativity. The children are all happy to go to school and are known and greeted by name by the full teaching and support staff. The children learn in a fun unpressurised environment. Overall we’ve been very happy in the nursery.

Our son joined North Bridge House Nursery School last September, and he absolutely loves it. Socially, he has made lots of friends from different cultures and loves his teachers. Academically, the quality of the teaching is excellent, fostering a love for learning, social skills, physical development, curiosity and creativity, and it is tailored to his personal progress. The communication with his teachers is easy, open and honest, and we work as a team to ensure the best learning environment for our son. The team goes beyond and has been very supportive of us as a family. We couldn't be happier!
We have had three children attend over the years and have been so happy with the care and teaching they each received. The teachers are experienced, knowledgeable and so caring. All three children have been incredibly happy there.

We have a wonderful experience with North Bridge House Nursery School Pre-Reception. Our son loves to go every day to school. The selection of afternoon clubs is amazing and our son loves all of them. He has a good connection not only with the teachers but with everybody from the caretaker to the...
I can only speak very highly of every teacher and the way they nurture the curiosity of the children.

English is an additional language for my daughter and we are amazed at how she has become fluent in just one year, thanks to the incredible support from the school. Additionally, she has also maintained fluency in her mother tongue, striking a perfect balance between the two languages.
The curriculum is well-rounded, focusing on all aspects of early childhood development, such as emotional, social, and physical growth. The teachers are skilled in creating a balance between structured activities and free play, allowing children to explore and learn at their own pace.
Furthermore, the school places a strong emphasis on communication and collaboration with parents. Regular updates are provided through weekly newsletters, emails, and parent evening, which helps us stay informed about our child's progress and achievements.
My daughter settled into North Bridge House Nursery School very quickly and has been very happy throughout her two years there. The teaching staff are very supportive and nurturing and do great work - my daughter is clearly developing a love of learning at an early age and delights in every day she...
Alongside the expected academic work, the provision of classroom and club-based activities is excellent (French, dance, drama, art, science club, ballet club, yoga club, gardening club, book club etc). A full day of Forest School at an off-site location, once a fortnight, is also out of the ordinary.
Overall I am very pleased with my daughter's obvious happiness, and her clear academic progress, at North Bridge House Nursery.
I'm really happy with the decision to register our daughter in this nursery.

Great teachers, great pastoral care. Two of my children have attended the nursery and really enjoyed their time there. In our experience, the teachers are very encouraging and quick to flag any concerns and work with parents to support and resolve any issues - whether relating to developmental needs, reluctance to try new foods or wider anxieties. We couldn’t be happier with what the nursery offers.

North Bridge House Nursery School is an excellent school, my daughter has been going there for over a year and has really developed. The school has helped her to become a confident, independent, hard-working, happy little girl. Her teachers are warm and caring, she does many activities at school including French, drama, ballet and yoga. She has forest school a few times every term. We are very happy with North Bridge House and we can't wait for our son to join it this month!
My son loves the school and environment and has grown so much in such little time.
It's important that he is happy and loves the place he spends so much time.

North Bridge House is a wonderful nursery school. I have 2 boys that have attended nursery there, both very different, and I can only say the teaching team have nurtured and supported them in the best way. The teachers are caring and adapt to the individual child's needs and strengths. The wider school team, from the caretakers to the office, are so lovely and friendly; they know all the children by name and make a point to stop and say hello. There is a real sense of community at North Bridge House Nursery School and you really feel your child is cared for and valued. I can't recommend this nursery school highly enough. I will truly miss this school when my youngest moves on to reception.
I would 100% recommend North Bridge House Nursery to anyone who is interested in sending their child to a school that is caring, supportive and has a real feel of community to it.

In addition, I love how North Bridge House Nursery manages to cater to children of all academic and social levels. Not only pushing the pupil to achieve their full potential but also offering support to both the child and parent in the journey to this.

A big thank you to North Bridge House Nursery School's team for all your hard work and efforts. We are very proud of how our little daughter has quickly developed into a sweet little girl and we have noticed that her self confidence has grown a lot during the school year. Everyday it's a new discovery, a new friend and a new song.
My daughter commenced at North Bridge House Nursery in early 2018 as we moved to the UK from overseas in January. We were worried about how she would adjust as this was her first experience of 'school' and as she was starting mid year she would start behind those students who started in September....
Her teachers are amazing and she settled in so well and so fast - she adores going to school and has caught up to the other children's level of learning. There is a real sense of community at the Nursery - the teachers make a real effort to connect with parents and keep us well informed about the progress of not just our child but the whole class.
The reception staff are outstanding and go far over and above to help with every step of the enrolment process and with any questions that come up once we were at the school. I cannot fault the school in any way and are just so pleased we enrolled our daughter at North Bridge House.

My daughter has been at North Bridge Nursey for 2 years and previously my son also attended North Bridge Nursery. They both enjoyed their time at the school and always went to school with a smile on their faces! The transition from the otters class to pre-reception couldn't have been smoother. The staff are professional, friendly and very caring with the children, who are not just a number, each of them is treated as a unique individual and his/her potentials are enhanced. We liked the fact that the nursery school has a dedicated building with its own playground and kids of similar age group are all together. We had an excellent experience at North Bridge Nursery and would highly recommend to others.
