  • Dollis Primary School, Pre-school & Nursery, London
Dollis is embedded in the community of Mill Hill, in the North London borough of Barnet. It is a pre-school, nursery and primary state school, welcoming children from 2-11 years from all backgrounds.

Children learn through play, and at Dollis, experienced staff believe that children play and learn best when they are happy and excited by what’s happening in their space: they becoming enthusiastic, curious, confident and independent explorers.

Dollis is also a primary school. Experts report that spending time in a school-based nursery can have a positive impact on future academic achievement, cognitive development and wellbeing. This is largely due to the continuity of the environment, relationships, and the curriculum which links in, and is integral part of, the school curriculum. Your child's learning journey starts with advantage at Dollis.

Dollis is government-funded.

Review from Kirsty V (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery setting for 3-4 year olds is wonderfully prepared and provides excellent experiences and opportunities for play. My daughter has a brilliant time there everyday. At the nursery so much thought and effort from the staff goes into planning activities and supervising the children. The nursery
provides a great and suitable stepping stone for reception and beyond.

We would like to sincerely thank you for the care, patience, and dedication you show every day to the children. Our daughter goes to kindergarten with great joy and can hardly wait to see you, which says everything about the warm and welcoming environment you have created.


The activities you organize

are truly wonderful and practical, capturing her interest and helping her learn new things every day. We have noticed a significant progress since she started attending kindergarten, and this is largely due to your involvement and professionalism.


We are truly grateful for everything you do!

Our twins has started preschool in September and they are absolutely loving it. They settled into it so well from day one. Children are always looked after and cared for.
They do a lot of activities during that 3 hours of school day. We do get loads of pictures and videos and it's so nice to see how
they interact with another children and adults.
Reply from Iain Sutherland, Executive Headteacher at Dollis Primary School, Pre-school & NurseryThank you for the review you have shared with us - it will be great for the Pre-School and Nursery team to read this in order to reinforce the great work that they do.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.705)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.705) out of 10 for Dollis Primary School, Pre-school & Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Dollis Primary School, Pre-school & Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.705 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dollis Primary School, Pre-school & Nursery is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 33 number of registered child places is 6.6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.6 = 0.455
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
