345 Balham’s parents are key to our community. From coffee mornings in the on-site café, to our seasonal events in the Church Hall, we want parents to feel involved their child’s time at nursery.
Parents are actively encouraged to share their child's experiences outside of school so that we can further develop their interests. We use the Tapestry app so parents can receive updates, and engage in one to one contact with their child’s key person.
We understand how important it is for nursery to make life easy and happy for the whole family. Our early drop off and varied after-school classes can offer a longer day’s provision, whilst providing highly enjoyable learning opportunities for your child.
