Balham Day Nursery provides a nurturing and supportive environment and both my daughters had an amazing time. The staff are caring and the nursery manager is passionate about what she does and it's evident in the care the children.
I have two children at Balham Day Nursery and have great confidence in their safety, development and happiness. The staff are always communicative and make me feel like they know exactly how our children's day has been. The nursery is run professionally and securely.
We have been at Asquith Balham Day Nursery since 2013 when our first son started. His younger brother is there now. They both have loved their experience and we feel very happy with the service they provide.
They focus on the child's individual development in a caring, friendly and safe environment. From music and fun activities doing art and messy play, cooking and lots of outdoor adventures in the garden, social skills and sharing, to Phonics and writing, they cover it all.
Our first son was there for three and a half years and found the transition to school very good. Evidence that Asquith did a great job in preparing him for his next big step!
We would absolutely recommend Asquith Balham Day Nursery.
Balham Day nursery is a very welcoming and caring nursery it has an amazing team that has made my child feel very welcomed within the baby room I feel as a parent my child is engaged in a variety of stimulating activities that allow her to develop in the best possible way I also feel that staff interaction Is outstanding as the staff within the baby room engage with my child very well I am pleased with my child key worker as she has helped settle my child. The Manager and Room Leader are very welcoming and are both approachable with any concerns that anyone may have. They are very staff orientated as they both go above and beyond for their staff. They listen well to their staff when and If the staff members have any concerns or problems they need to discuss they also try to make the best solutions for staff and the office door is always open for staff to be able to express themselves and support staff with either their training or furthering themselves.
Great staff, very caring and know my child well. They also offer lots of extra curricular activities like Sporty Minis which is great.
They have a lovely outside space and the opening hours are very useful for working parents.
The staff are fantastic, all so nurturing and caring and management are superb and constantly looking to make improvements. My daughter is now settling in the baby room and we are delighted she'll soon be joining in the fun.
My mother came with us for the recent Christmas concert and commented that the nursery is like our extended family with so many people caring deeply for our children but also great friendships amongst the children and parents - she is right.
My son attends the baby room at Balham Day Nursery and I cannot be more happier with his progress and development since he started. He is now a confident walker. The staff always make sure there are lots of toys and activities available. He has the best keyworker a parent could ask for, she knows and understands him really well and goes out of her way to help him achieve his own individual goals and milestones. He always has artwork and crafts to bring home which makes me a proud parent and assures me that he is learning. The baby room staff team are great, they are always friendly, approachable and working to the best of their ability to make sure every individual child is safe, happy and cared for in a warm, caring environment.
Pre-school is very nice and happy with the work they are doing to help support my child with her speech. The Christmas concert went very well and the children singing along, my child is very happy and thats all that matter to me.
My daughter has attended Balham Day Nursery for over three years and my son started a couple of months ago. Both children love going - my daughter views her pre-school nursery teachers as part of her family. She loves the activities that are arranged and has many friends there. My son has allergies and the staff are doing excellent work to help manage this.
An all round excellent choice!
A really lovely and cohesive team who care for children by providing a safe and happy environment for learning and building independence.
Asquith Balham day nursery has my full recommendation.
Our daughter really loves coming here (she started at ten months and is now 1.5 years old). She loves socialising and enjoys running around in the fun outdoor areas. The staff are really excellent- very caring; they put a lot of thought into the children's development. The kitchen staff are great too- the meals are tasty and varied. My daughter loves her food and is getting really good at eating with a fork! Her speech is developing nicely and I'm so pleased that she has such a great time at nursery. She is there long hours- around 11 hours a day for five days a week- but never seems bored. I love to see her artwork too, which she takes home to show off!
The outside space is great but the best thing is the staff who care for our kids with so much love.
Always happy to send my daughter there she's well looked after. The food is great and the recipe card they send is a bonus. The garden is brilliant with lots of different areas I'm very happy.
