Top 30 Best London prep schools in London

“The Lyceum is a wonderful, happy school, which has undergone a transformation under Headteacher Mrs Wyatt. The building is beautiful, airy and light, with an outdoor playground - something of a rarity in central London. The teaching is energetic and tailored to the child, with academic standards now high. The canteen chef is also incredible, literally incredible!”

“This is a warm and caring environment for children, with attentive staff and a happy atmosphere. Settling-in (when our child was 16 months) was handled sensitively with obvious warmth and affection shown to the babies and young children. Children benefit greatly from playing in the outdoor space, caring for baby animals and frequent trips to parks and other places in London. Children at the nursery enjoy lessons from specialist music and sports teachers and our child also made excellent progress with reading and writing too. Admin staff are friendly and go out of their way to help busy parents; last minute changes of plan and emergencies were always dealt with quickly and efficiently. Our child has moved on to school now, but she still visits in the school holidays for the excellent 'holiday-club' activities. HPPS is easily the best day-nursery in the area.”

“Thanking you for your support through difficult times and for looking after the welfare of our little boy through to transfer to high school. He is now knowledgeable in a breadth of subjects, current affairs and has a good moral standards and values. Hats off to you and staff. Thank you to everyone at Homefield - Most appreciated.”

“A phenomenal school and facilities. A real oasis of a place to start your early years education.”

“My son was at Alphablocks for 2.5 years and he loved it there. His days were filled with both teacher led and independent fun activities in a safe and nurturing environment. All the team were interested in his development and by the time he left, their investment in him was evident. I was also very happy with the personal care given to him from when he started there in diapers to being toilet trained when he left. One of the first things that attracted me to the Nursery was the extensive outdoor space. The children spend a lot of time outdoors in most weather playing, learning and exploring. It also helped in preparation for Reception that Alphablocks introduces the children to Phonics and Numeracy early. I also liked that the Nursery uses storybook themes in an inventive way as part of the children’s learning. I can’t recommend Alphablocks highly enough.”

“Best ever school experience for our son! TPS has a nurturing and caring environment where every child gets the attention and is placed well to achieve their full potential. Would not hesitate to recommend it.”

“Harvington is a very warm and friendly school. My daughter is very happy and finds lessons fun and inspiring.”

“I can’t recommend Adam highly enough if you are thinking about getting prepared for your PPL theoretical exams. You won’t be disappointed. Unlike many instructors he is a fantastic, humoristic, very knowledgeable in each subject lecturer who has that amazing ability and patience in explaining difficult matters regarding the aviation. As a very experienced commercial pilot and instructor, who spent half of his life flying in Europe, Africa and West Indies he will prepare you to let you pass all mandatory av exams painlessly as he helped our group of students in 2016. He will also show you how to use this huge incredible knowledge in practical way when you start your flight training and then you become a pilot-in-command. Our group of PPL students of 2016 will never forget the top atmosphere of lectures, exciting fruitful hours spent in the classroom with Adam who created a special bond between us all as we are still friends and meet 3,4 times a year together to chat and share our own flying adventures. Three of us are now the ATPL students and two of us are finishing commercial training soon. Do you still have any doubts? I would not. All the best. Ben”

“Both my daughters love their nursery. The staff are all friendly and take a genuine interest in the family and children's progression. A very caring and nurtering environment.”

“We are beyond happy with the school. This is my daughter’s second year there and I now fear that the next prep school won’t be as good. From the curriculum to the teachers and the parents, this school is way more than anything we expected. Mr Stuart and his team are so knowledgeable, the school will provide children the best skills to start their lives.”

“Great school, fantastic teachers and high academic standard. Our daughters always enjoyed and still enjoy attending the school.”

“We currently have our daughter attending the preschool (having started in lower kindie), for 2 years now and it has been a pleasure seeing how far she has progressed. Our daughter has really grown in confidence whilst developing through the EYFS, as well as her own personal development. All her teachers are so lovely, and caring. The pastoral care at this school really is fantastic and that is one of the many reasons why we chose St Christopher’s for our daughters primary education. We look forward to Sept 2022 when she starts Reception, and enjoy everything the school has to offer.”
