Bright Horizons Balham Day Nursery and Preschool

We are very happy with the preschool room. Our daughter took a while to settle in, being totally new to a nursery setting, but the kind and attentive approach that is shown by the whole team has worked wonders. She is now comfortable and confident in a large group and I'm sure her transition to school will be much easier with the foundations laid here. The staff and management really care and go above and beyond. Our family love this nursery!

He is happy and sociable and has made lots of great friends there.

My experience with Asquith Balham so far has been very positive. They offer a safe, welcoming environment, with a great array of activities - both educational and fun! We have seen a great response from our boy, who clearly enjoys his time there and has become more outgoing and adventurous. The staff are warm and welcoming and clearly love their jobs and, most importantly, the children. Looking forward to more fun times in 2017!

My son attended Asquith Balham since he was 6 months old, until 4 years of age when we moved from the area. We have been so pleased with the love, nurturing and fun that he has had whilst there, it made choosing a new nursery very hard as we loved Balham so much and it set a very high standard. A special mention goes to our son's key worker, always so happy to see him and available to discuss what activities they'd been doing. The room leader is also excellent we miss them both. We have found all the staff and support staff very attentive and friendly. Another mention is the manager, the nursery has got even better under her guidance, organising special events that parents and children have enjoyed and helping to build a great sense of community. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery.

I am a grandmother of a child within the nursery and I feel that the nursery is adequately staffed and well run. The nursery has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I feel my grandchild is very happy, well looked after and engages in a variety of activities that are set out by staff which help her progress.

Overall I am very happy with the service provided by the nursery.

My 1.5-year-old son has attended the Asquith Balham Day Nursery for one year now. He has been very happy in the baby room and I am entirely satisfied with the care he receives there. He has flourished in the environment and is a well socialised and happy little boy who enjoys his time at nursery.

My grandchild currently attends this nursery and it is lovely to be invited to so many of her events and parties. The children are always happy and I am always made to feel very welcome. The manager is very friendly and the teachers are always happy.

My 2-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter attend this nursery. My 3-year-old loves preschool and is really prepared for school life. My oldest daughter went through this nursery as well and was super confident when she went to school. I work full time so I need to be confident in my childcare arrangement and I have complete confidence in the staff. If I am unhappy with anything, I can talk to staff and they accommodate my children's needs and the staff genuinely care about my children's well-being. My children are blossoming in this nursery and are safe and happy which is all you can ask for.

I love Asquith Balham Nursery. I feel completely at ease when I drop my son off in the mornings, knowing he is with people who care about him and go out of their way to keep him safe and comfortable. He genuinely loves the nursery staff and sometimes cries when it's time to go home! If I could rate the staff any higher than 'Excellent', I would. Without hesitation, I would recommend this nursery to anyone and will be sad when the day finally comes for us to leave.

My son has been at Asquith Day Nursery for a year and a half and he loves it there, the care providers are all lovely and informative at the end of each day. The managers are also great, very helpful and know and engage with every child. It has great outdoor space and a lovely homely feel about it.

After spending one month at a rival nursery we quickly moved our son over to Asquith who moved heaven and earth to accommodate us at short notice. The manager and her team are attentive, friendly, caring and dedicated professionals. We are so impressed with our son's continued development and happiness at the nursery, so much so that he often does not want to come home. We would not hesitate in recommending Asquith to anyone.

Asquith Balham is a brilliant nursery. My son has been going there since he was 1 year old. The staff are caring and great at both stimulating the kids and focusing on their development. My son loves going there and my daughter will soon join him.

We have been at Asquith Balham Day Nursery since September 2016, following our relocation from Australia. The settling in period, allowed us all to get to know the staff in the baby room and our son's key worker. Building this relationship gave us confidence that he would be safe and happy in a caring environment where staff provide a wide range of activities designed to stimulate and stretch him. The welcoming greetings and daily feedback from the lovely staff also reinforce our confidence that our child is well cared for.

The facilities are always clean and activities well laid out and our energetic boy absolutely loves the baby garden.

In addition, the manager's passion is evident in the way she always goes the extra mile to assist us with any queries and the organisation of wonderful events, such as the Christmas party. These have allowed us to get to spend quality time with the staff and other parents.

We would definitely recommend Asquith Balham Day Nursery.

My two children attend Balham nursery (4 year old girl and 7 months baby). They are both very happy there. The staff are extremely caring with the children and very welcoming. The nursery being in a big house and the team being so warm, it feels like leaving your children in a home, which is great.

Childcare is generally extremely expensive but here at Asquith Balham I feel that it's worth it. My child is nurtured, socialised, loved and educated here. I feel happy and reassured every day I drop him off and whenever I collect him I'm totally convinced he's had a great day in all aspects. The staff seem to be all happy here too, and this translates to the children. Facilities are fantastic, it's always clean and tidy as much as a space constantly under attack from an army of little ones could possibly be and the staff make a huge effort to update you always on your child's progress. Criticisms? None spring to mind.

My daughter is very happy at the nursery. The manager plans so many events that we attend. The Christmas party and concert were amazing. We brought the grandparents to the summer party. Lovely spending time with the teachers.

My son has attended the nursery since he was 1 and it has been such a wonderful experience for both he and I. The fun, education, friendship, care & love he (and us as parents) has received has been wonderful and I would not have him anywhere else. This has been invaluable especially as I work 5 days a week knowing that he in his home away from home with people who love him like their own.

It is an extremely supportive and fun environment and we have been very happy. Settling in worked really well at the beginning of the year and it has been great to see the team get to know and nurture my son since then. The office is also very supportive and helpful.

Excellent friendly nursery and always going the extra mile.

Smiles and good customer service when arriving and picking up our daughter.

Key worker friendly always well staffed. Never feel like there are too few supervisors vs babies.

Food seems to be of good quality and that is very important and reassuring.

Very well designed and interesting garden that our daughter likes to play in.

Would recommend to friends and family.
