Balham Nursery School
and Children’s Centre
Balham Nursery School is an outstanding 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 your child.
We hope that you and your child will have wonderful memories of Balham that stay with you forever.
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 Federation Development Plan 2022-2025 encapsulates our priorities in order to achieve this goal.
We have updated our term dates for the school year 2025-26. There is a printable School Calendar available for you to download. balham-nursery.wandsworth.sch.uk//information-for-parents/term-dates

We continiue to support home learning, as we know that parents are the first educators for their child. We do this through encouraging families to use the Balham Book Club, providing links to learning events in school, introducing our Chatterboxes, giving information and top tips in our daily exchanges, and providing support available through local services.
We are delighted with the outcome of our last inspection. Very proud of our children, parents and the staff team. See a summary of the key findings and view the full report here.
If your child has their third birthday before 31 August 2025 they can have up to 30 hours free early education from September 2025. Learn more on our Admissions page or apply online here
