Headteacher's Welcome

Balham Nursery School is a Wandsworth maintained nursery school where we provide a happy, healthy community and everyone can develop confidence, respect for others and a love of learning.

A great education is one of the most precious gifts a child can receive and in everything we do, we are driven by the best interests of the child.

We hope that you and your child will have wonderful memories of Balham that stay with you forever.

Cherishing our past, embracing our future

We aim to help realise the potential social, intellectual, physical and emotional development of each child irrespective of race, class, gender, culture, language or disability. Our School Development Plan 2018-2021 encapsulates our priorities in order to achieve this goal. For further information about targets for 2019-2020 please click here.
