Welcome to
345 Nursery School
Balham
We are an independent preschool for children aged 2 to 5 - the first steps in your child’s learning journey start here.
345 Balham (formerly Oaktree Nursery) is one of three independent pre-schools, all based in South West London. We are owner-led, and use a blend of Traditional and Montessori methods to deliver a program that is varied, holistic and child centric. Working with each child individually, we instil the foundations of EYFS, whilst fostering confidence and excitement about learning. Children leave 345 ready to thrive academically and emotionally at school.
“We are so impressed with all the opportunities you’ve provided. The standard of learning is simply fantastic.”
— Sarah, 345 parent
“The established, qualified staff team works extremely well together to support children’s good outcomes.”
— Oftsted
“A loving environment that is fun for the children but also guides them on their way to formal learning.”
— Alex, 345 parent
“The creativity is amazing and it's full of happy, smiley children. It's an asset to Balham, it really is!”
— Louise, former 345 parent
345 Balham is located within Balham Baptist Church. In addition to our two private classrooms and outdoor learning environments, we have use of a professionally equipped Church Hall, dance studio, and community café.
345’s joint Principals, Jill and Katka, are delighted to offer personalised tours of the school.
