  • Hendon Prep Preschool, London
Hendon Prep's Preschool is independently rated 'Excellent in all areas' (ISI January 2023) and accepts children from the start of the term in which they turn 3.

Based in a large bright and airy classroom, Hendon Prep provides a setting where children feel emotionally safe and secure and where problem-solving and decision-making skills are developed from a young age by allowing children to make choices regarding what skills they will use and the learning choices they make.

The Preschool environment is friendly, stimulating and nurturing and the curriculum is based around their unique EYFS PLUS model which offers dynamic time-tabled activities for children that includes subject specialist teaching in; Music, French and P.E., plus age-appropriate daily lessons in numeracy and literacy, including pre-reading and pre-writing.

Children can join Hendon Prep's Preschool at the start of the term in which they turn 3 years old so they can take advantage of the 2-year rolling curriculum. Preschool children are given first consideration for a place in the sought after Reception class.

Hendon Prep offers the government funded '15 free hours' of childcare - which is applied as a termly discount in fees. Children are eligible for the funding from the start of the term after the one in which they turn 3.

I have had a positive feeling about dropping my child off at school. it has been an encouraging, optimistic and supporting environment, having helped with my child's journey of being comfortable and confident with using the bathroom. Not just growth in learning and play, but can handle business. Thanks
to all the teachers.

The manager and the team are absolutely great, really helpful and friendly. Amazing infrastructure, our son has been there since April. He still absolutely loves attending the school every day. They do a lot of fun activities and we receive a weekly summary of what our child did during the week. This
nursery and its staff really go the extra mile, thank you Hendon Prep for your valuable support.

The Hendon Prep Preschool is a wonderful setting for the children to explore and develop in a nurturing environment. My daughter started in September 2020 having been home since the lockdown in March 2020 so we were concerned she would not enjoy it. Well almost 9 months in and she is loving it! The
Early Years Leader leads the preschool curriculum and is phenomenal with her extensive experience of working with young children and bringing the best out of them. The school is filled with happy children alongside an experienced and dedicated team of staff. In particular the school has a wonderful outdoor forest play area where the children spend a lot of time learning through practical play. Highly recommend this preschool.

Very friendly teachers. My daughter fitted in right away.
They have shown care and support from day one and went above and beyond to make sure she is well looked after.
I highly recommend this preschool.

Reply from Susan Kirby, Registrar at Hendon Prep Preschool

Whilst our Preschool team are very experienced with settling pupils into new routines, we recognise that every child is different and so it is always wonderful to receive such lovely feedback on how quickly individual children have settled in. Thank you for taking the time to comment. We will most definitely feed this back to the Preschool team.

I only have good things to say about Hendon Prep and their Preschool class. My daughter started there in September 2020 and it has been a great experience for her. She loves going to school, she adores her teachers, you can see the impact the school has had on her: from becoming more confident, the
way she speaks and communicates, her vocabulary, numbers, letters, her French is coming along nicely. All of that is thanks to the school, the teachers and the excellent curriculum they have. She was happy in her previous nursery and we were not sure whether to change her or not but we are so pleased with the decision we made and so is she! It is great seeing her learning and growing in a nurturing and caring environment.

A fantastic preschool. I couldn't have chosen a better Early Years Foundation Stage setting for my child. The staff are well trained and the standard of the provision is exceptionally high. I am thoroughly pleased with the choice we made.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

Early year leader has recently been replaced and follows a highly strict environment in her style of teaching.
The attitude of other staff members is nurturing but they clearly lack the support of right leadership. My kid found it very difficult to settle. They insist on a particular style of writing
and can often public shame the parents in PTA meetings. Feedback to parents is neither online nor regular and least constructive.
Kids do come back home with heavy and harsh words like 'disappointed' or 'hate' commonly used by Early year leader. My child has cleared entrance exams of another elite school but knowing this school is a non-assessment school and less academic, I decided to go with it. I don't think early year academic pressure is required. But EYFS expectation is of 2 batches up. The curriculum is wide and the food is good. Staff from upper batch seem friendly and welcoming. Can't wait for my child to move up and get the right support from his teachers. At present not the right school for my child.

This is informed by Outstanding interpersonal relationship of the teacher to the pupil with special focus on individual learning needs and ability. I also appreciate the keen attention in psychomotor and affective domains of instruction and learning. In particular also, is the attention on developing
and inculcating universal values and traits onto the pupils. I further take note of meticulous focus in developing traits aimed at inculcating a sense of self-esteem, and independent-minded persons.

All three of my children have attended Hendon Preparatory School. The new manager is fantastic and has made some positive changes to the method of teaching and types of activities the children are involved in. It is a very nurturing environment and I would recommend the school to any family looking
for a Pre-School for their child locally.

We completely relish Hendon Prep and consider ourselves lucky as it’s such a brilliant place on all fronts. It ticks all the right boxes for us and the staff are of first degree. It's a lovely environment with excellent teaching and learning. The activities that the staff create for all age groups are
very imaginative and original and develop the children's skills and challenge their abilities. I love the opportunities that my little girl has been given and I can see her flourish in such a caring environment. I honestly think Hendon Prep has significantly enriched her early year's experience. A fab manager and a fab team!
I thoroughly recommend this nursery.

I have been very happy with the school. Our child has thrived in this warm and nurturing environment. The teachers have provided excellent support to our child’s development and has matured as a result. There is a good balance between academia and play. Phonics, maths lessons, tennis and forest school
are good examples of this. I cannot recommend the pre-school highly enough.

The Early Years Lead and Deputy Manager are brilliant! They are so caring and nurturing but also aim to help children progress academically which I consider important. My son settled in so quickly - which is unusual for him! He really looks forward to attending which is a testament to the staff.

We are absolutely delighted with this choice of school for our 3-year-old daughter. The teachers are warm, friendly and caring towards all the children in her class and their attention to detail is fantastic. We are so impressed by resources that the children have access to every day. She seems to be
learning a huge amount and often comes home with some form of artwork which is wonderful! Physical, social and emotional skills are all covered in a balanced way and we rate the school 'Outstanding' and have already been recommending it to all our friends!
