Balham Day Nursery and Preschool
"My daughter has settled in beautifully at Balham Day Nursery and Preschool. I appreciated the settling in period being tailored to ensure a smooth transition and not too much disturbance with our routine. The staff throughout the nursery are friendly, attentive and approachable."

An Innovative and Inspiring Nursery in Balham
Recently refurbished, our welcoming Nursery and Preschool in Balham offers a fantastic setting of fun and exciting learning opportunities for every stage of your child's development, from ages 3 months to 5 years old. With a convenient buggy park, the nursery is close to Balham and Streatham Hill train stations.
Our Nurture Approach, designed by Early Years specialists, gives your child the strongest foundation for school and beyond. Rooted in the EYFS curriculum, it blends enriching, wellbeing-focused activities with a personalised touch to support every stage of your child’s development. Through our unique Growing Enhancements, children build confidence and curiosity across key subjects like maths, reading, writing, science, and art—helping them feel ready and excited for their next steps.
Our baby room, designed for children aged 3 to 18 months, is beautifully decorated to create a 'Home from Home' atmosphere. Here, we prioritise your child's individual routine, focusing on feeds and providing dedicated spaces such as a living area, a sensory room, and a separate sleep room.
Our Toddler Room, dedicated to children aged 18 to 35 months, focuses on your child's physical development while providing support with toilet training, and speech and language skills.
The Preschool Room for 36 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.
Moving outside your child can prepare for an adventure in our expansive garden! Children adore exploring its vast space, where specially designed zones offer tailored play experiences to suit every age group. From the thrill of discovering fruit trees to eagerly participating in discussions about upcoming seasonal changes, there's always excitement in the air!
In addition we can keep you updated via our Family app. Available for all Bright Horizons parents, this will keep you connected with your child's day-to-day experiences and up to date as they develop during their time with us.
Book your tour today to meet our long-standing team and explore our nursery, we can’t wait to meet you!

Nursery Fee Calculator
Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working, or you get discounts from your workplace.
Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.
When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.
Estimate your fees
Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.
In the meantime, if you need some answers or to book a nursery visit, then please call us on 0203 906 6575, our friendly team is here to help.
