Services

As a mother who has navigated the process herself (twice!) and guided 2000+ families through the process, I understand how overwhelming finding the right independent school can feel, particularly for first-time parents, families unfamiliar with London, or those trying to understand the complexities of the British education system. The admissions process is often time-consuming, competitive and difficult to navigate without clear guidance.

My aim has always been to make this experience more manageable and reassuring for families, allowing parents to enjoy these important early years with their children while also putting in place strong educational foundations for the future.

Over the years, I have provided a wide range of free information and resources for parents online. Following continued requests from families seeking more tailored guidance, I began offering a bespoke educational consultancy service, providing carefully considered advice, school recommendations and individualised planning to support families through each stage of the admissions journey.

Over time, this has grown into a much broader educational advisory service. We now offer tailored assessments, mock examinations, interview preparation and both one-to-one and small group preparation programmes across a range of entry points. We also support families relocating within the UK and internationally, helping parents navigate school placements and transitions with clarity and confidence.

In addition, we are increasingly asked to provide educational guidance documentation and independent educational recommendations within complex family and legal matters, including school-related disputes arising during divorce proceedings, where clear and experienced educational input can be invaluable in supporting the best interests of the child.

Our families love us

Real stories from real families who achieved their educational aspirations with our guidance.

Rajni helped us get the school we wanted for our child! She’s very knowledgeable, in particular her mocks were a fantastic resource. She picked things up about my child’s development in her observation that I hadn’t disclosed to her previously. It was very impressive and proved to me that she had an extensive understanding of children as well as the independent schooling system.Very much under her guidance, she taught us how to support our child at home. We got the outcome we were looking for and my child still asks to go see her and says they miss her.

Our time with Rajni was short but we will remain forever grateful for her wisdom, commitment and candour.Rajni and team were highly instrumental in our son’s success at 4+. We received more feedback about his abilities in three days of workshops than a year of nursery! Subsequently, their tailored, focussed guidance and support proved invaluable.We cannot speak highly enough of them and only wish we had met sooner.

We’ve used Mums in the Wood for years, initially with a 4+ mock assessment, and more recently with 7+ workshops, tutoring, and mock assessments and interviews. We were very late to preparing our child for the 7+ but Rajni and her team managed to fit us in and fully prepare them within just four months. Thanks to her expertise and guidance, my children have had 100% success at both 4+ and 7+ with direct offers. I highly recommend Mums in the Wood!

We are incredibly grateful for Rajni's guidance. She creates a warm, safe, and joyful environment where children feel loved, confident, and excited to learn. Her patience, creativity, and genuine care truly stand out. She understands each child’s needs and encourages independence and curiosity. Thanks to her support, our daughter received a 4+ offer from a very competitive school. We couldn’t ask for a better start to our child’s learning journey.

Rajni has supported all three of my children through the 4+ and all got offers at Highgate. She is very knowledgeable about the process. She is kind and creates a warm and fun learning environment so the children are always happy to learn with her!

Rajni has been fantastic for helping our 3 children prepare for entrance tests to the toughest London prep and pre-pre schools. Her collaborative approach works in harmony with the child’s natural abilities and she focuses on actual technique rather than just rote learning. Would highly recommend.
