Balham Day Nursery and Preschool

An innovative and inspiring nursery in Balham

Recently refurbished in October 2023, your child will be happy and secure at our welcoming Nursery and Preschool in Balham, rated 'Good' by Ofsted. This fantastic setting offers fun and exciting learning opportunities for every stage of your child's development, from 3 months to 5 years old.

Grow and Learn

Your little one's individual routine is our priority where we focus on feeds and provide a separate sleep room in our Baby room raging from 3 - 18 months. They'll love exploring our dedicated sensory room.

Our Toddler Room for 18 to 32 months focus's on your little ones child's physical development and we support toilet training as well as speech and language development.

The Preschool Room for 32 months to 5 years provides fun and exciting structured activities as well as encouraging children to ask questions, independently explore and develop skills ready for school and beyond.

Your child will get the very best start through our enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum, where we build on the foundations of the government's EYFS curriculum. We combine a wide range of activities to nurture and develop the skills your child needs to flourish and reach their full potential.

Preparing for School

Our Ready For School Programme encompasses all Growing Enhancements to ensure your Growing Reader, Writer, Mathematician and Artist can explore other areas of learning. Children are also taught important life skills such as serving themselves at mealtimes, tying shoelaces and communicating effectively.

Your little one will love our Boogie Mites activity which provides an exciting opportunity to learn about the world through music and song.

Follow their progress via the Bright Horizons Family app and keep updated with photos and videos via your smartphone or laptop.

Outdoor Exploration

Children enjoy our large garden, separated for age-appropriate play. They particularly love our fruit trees and the opportunity to contribute to regular discussions about what the seasonal changes will bring.

All-Inclusive and Convenient

Your child will enjoy our delicious meals, freshly prepared by our onsite chef. Necessities such as snacks, wipes, nappies, creams and formula are also provided, so there's less for you to pack during those busy mornings!

Balham Day Nursery and Preschool has a convenient buggy park and is within close proximity to Balham and Streatham Hill train stations.

Book Your Personal Tour

We look forward to meeting you and your little one to give you a personal tour and answer any questions you might have.
