Hi,

At Bright Horizons in Balham (formerly Teddies Nurseries), we always strive to provide the highest quality care and education to all of our children at the nursery. If you do have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact either your key carer, or myself and we can discuss these with you.

Thanks
Zoe Avery
Nursery Manager

My kids (4 and 2yr) go to Abacus on Cavendish road. I couldn't recommend it more. Great staff (both for toddlers and pre-schoolers) and easy-going manager. Lots of activities organized and children are really well looked after. Staff treat them as they were a big family.

Hi - do any of the nurseries mentioned, or any others in Balham, cost less than £70 a day? The best ones I've seen seem to be around this price, which seems very expensive. If anyone knows of good nurseries in the balham area less than £70 a day I'd be really grateful to know.

If you are looking for a Nursery School, I can't recommend Oaktree on Ramsden Road highly enough.

Both of my children went to Teddies, one from 4 months and one from about 6 months old. They stayed until the week before they started school. They both loved it, we loved it and we all have many happy memories and great friends because of it!

Of course there were things along the way that made me think 'I would have done that differently' but over the 6 year period that we were there it was a truly positive experience.

I would be the first to recommend it to anyone

Hi, do any of your babies currently go to Teddies? I started a few settling in sessions and am not hugely impressed but maybe i am overly concerned. Any thoughts would be helpful
thanks

My son started Second Steps nursery when he was 20 months and absolutely adores it. You can really see that he is learning there ( singing alphabet, counting on his own etc) while as the same time, having a whale of the time. He kisses all his carers good bye every evening, and is desperate to go every morning, so can't really recommend it highly enough. I know they do morning and afternoon sessions, and is on Ravenslea Road. Good luck with your search.

Hello, I run Little Starlings. We are a pre school in Ouseley Road SW12 and offer 2 hour sessions and you can choose as many sessions per week as you like.
Please feel free to give us a call on 07801 865526 or look at our website

Thank you

My son is at teddies and have had no problems. he loves it there !! staff really friendly and children very happy

I certainly know lots of families with children happily at Noah's Ark, Wainwright and Marmalade Caterpillar. I know a couple at Woodentops too, but I don't know them as well. No experience of Teddies, I'm afraid. We're really lucky, there are SO many good ones in the area. A lot depends on the waiting list and how you feel when you visit it really. Good luck.

Teddies in Balham is fab, many of our customers are happy with them.


hope we was of help

My son is at Marmalade Caterpillar on Boundaries Road and my daughter will start in September. They have to be two to start.

We absolutely adore it. I really can't praise the staff enough. From day one my son has been excited about going and runs in with a huge grin on his face each morning.

Think the waiting list is long though.

My daughter goes to teddies on Balham high road. She absolutely loves it there and I highly recommend it!

No Worries Cornish Mummy! She will be 2 in August so she could start in September - Thanks for the recommendation as I live quite close to the Wainwright Montessori.

Sorry, I just read that your daughter is only 16 months so sorry if my post isn't relevant to you. Hopefully it will help someone else who is looking!
