Overview

Top London Prep School in the heart of Chelsea, welcoming children from 3 months to 11 years old.

Cameron Vale School is a Nursery and Preparatory school for babies and children aged 3 months to 11 years in the heart of Chelsea. Founded 37 years ago it was acquired by Forfar in 2020. The school prides itself on its individualised attention and warm, family feel.

Cameron Vale is driven by the belief that ‘no one size fits all’. The small class sizes ensure that staff know every child as an individual, enabling the team to support them to develop their own unique gifts and talents, and allowing every child to shine, whether it be excelling in the classroom, on the sports field or the stage.

Pupils achieve excellent results at Cameron Vale, far above national averages, and with support from the school achieve places and scholarships to some of the most selective independent schools in London and further afield.

The Chelsea Nursery

In June 2025 the Nursery opened its doors in its brand new location, just minutes from the King’s Road, Chelsea. The Chelsea Nursery now offers a bespoke space in a quiet and residential street, just a short walk from The Vale. A bigger home for our little people, with more rooms for nursery children, a dedicated sleeping room for babies and a beautiful outside area.
