"In British English, nursery or playgroup is the usual term for preschool
education, and kindergarten is rarely used, except in the context of special
approaches to education, such as Steiner-Waldorf education (the educational
philosophy of which was founded by Rudolf Steiner)."

Here in Charlbury we have two places that describe themselves as "nursery",
and one as "preschool". I think the preschool starts at a later age than the
nurseries do.
