Latest Reviews for Balham Nursery School & Children's Centre
04 July 2023
My first daughter came here and 6 years later we’re back! Activities are
child-led, mess is allowed, imagination, curiosity and creativity are
encouraged. I have the utmost trust in the creative and highly
experienced team who oversees activities/staff. There is a large garden
where they can pull each other along in a cart, chalk, play in the
sandpit/shops/Wendy house, and garden, see the pets, and use the
climbing frame (which develops physical skills, confidence and muscles
to write with!). It’s much more than a nursery, lead staff are
concerned to build a caring community with parents encouraged to form a
Parent Teacher Friends Association. (I have made lifelong friendships).
They run classes to educate/advise parents too, Eg. Digital Parenting,
Parenting with an Educational Psychologist and music therapy sessions. A
lot of staff remain 10 years +. Children thrive, staff follow the early
year's syllabus but it’s not ‘school-ified’: Learning occurs organically
through natural play/curiosity.
