Every Judo schools belts different try it out see how the teaching is. Ever school will let you do at least 2 free classes!

IDK, it looks fishy to me....I mean, they have "classes" for 6 month olds to 3 years old. Sounds fishy....but I would check it out.

Visited a school one time where it was 2 and up. 2 year olds and adults in the same class doing the same stuff. There were like 30 people in the class of all ages. During the warmup a kid started crying because he was scared and one of the higher belts had to go over and try to calm him down. it was more funny than anything else.

just make sure they are associated with the BJA or BJC, try a few lessons in different dojo's and see what you think is best

Dude... I swear this is Budokwai one of the most... Prestigious Judo clubs in London. Guy Ritchie trains there. It's like the oldest Japanese club in Europe. Kano taught at it at one point.
