It's generally known as nursery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preschool#United_Kingdom

You can spell it both ways, with or without hyphen.

However many are wrong when they say Preschool is nursery . Preschool is one year of school preparations and is usually associated with the primary schools, you can consider it as primary school "year zero". A nursery is the same as Kindergarten.

It's simple: British English uses a hyphen; American does not. People influenced by American computer software and the internet (including many Brits) falsely assume American is 'correct'. It's correct within the United States; it's wrong everywhere else.
