Around 50,000 Dutch nationals live in the UK, many in South West London — particularly Richmond, Kingston, Wimbledon and Wandsworth.
Dutch families often come from a more progressive, child-centred educational tradition. The Dutch system starts formal schooling at age 4 but with a play-based approach, which maps well to the UK's EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage). South West London boroughs — Richmond, Kingston, Wimbledon — are popular with Dutch families and have strong state schools with an international community feel. Post-Brexit, many Dutch families in London are long-term residents who have made Southwest London their home.
