Recommendation for nurseries in Balham/Tooting/Wandsworth? Thanks 🙏

Our LG is at N-Family Balham and we couldn’t be happier! Stunning building, big garden, only 1.5years old so everything still new. Love the staff. Only negative is it’s closer to Clapham South than Balham (unless you’re near Weir Road) 😊

I’m also around this area and due in June. Would love to hear some recommendations too. @Caelyn do you mind me asking what the waiting period to enrol & fees are like? I think we can do the tax subsidising through the government but the whole thing confuses me! We are also looking to move (hopefully similar area) but worried about waiting lists if I only put my name down start of 2024 as need to have nursery from July 2024 (no other options/family nearby).

@lauren when we enrolled there wasn’t a wait list - we want to increase our LG from 3 days to 4 and she’s now on the waitlist for the extra day. We secured her spot in the April and she started begin July. There is a enrol fee and another start up fee which gets deducted off your final month fees. We looked at 4 nurseries in the area, including N, all the fees were really similar (£1350-ish) for 3 days - N was very slightly higher. But the fees at N include everything, other than a change of clothes, you don’t provide anything 😊 Happy to chat directly if you have any other questions 😊

My kiddo is in Bright Horizons Looking Glass Toothing Bec, I cannot recommend it enough. They actually care.

Apples and Honey Nightingale is great, and it is also inter generational. We are having a good experience there and the facilities for the children are amazing
