Day Nurseries Owned by Abacus Ark Ltd

They really nurture independence and brave behaviours in the children.

I can't recommend this nursery enough. My little boy has attended the nursery since he was 1 and after the initial settling in period, he has always ran in smiling, being embraced by the warm, friendly and energetic staff each morning. Miss Sarah and the rest of the staff are always open to answering any questions and (suprisingly!) never seem flustered or make you feel rushed. This has been so reassuring day to day and I feel very lucky to feel so confident that my son has the upmost care and is having fun! I've just had my second child, who I will be sending to Abacus once I return to work. Thank you team Abacus!

Our daughter started at Abacus Ark 3 months ago (from another nursery setting) and she has simply thrived. Her speech has come on incredibly, her gross motor skills and confidence with things like slides are vastly improved and most importantly, she has developed such a bind with the team and runs in every morning so excited to see them and all that the day will bring. We couldn't be happier.

Our daughter has been at Abakus Ark Wandsworth since she was 11 months old, and she is now about to turn three.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found this nursery. Over the last two years, our daughter has developed so much, and the range and quality of activities they provide has been outstanding. The staff are exceptional: kind, caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. You can really see that they care deeply about each child.

For us, Abakus Ark has felt like a second home. It has exactly the warm, nurturing, home-from-home environment you would wish for your child at such an important stage of their life.

The management has also been amazing throughout: supportive, professional, and always approachable. We have nothing but good things to say about the nursery and would highly recommend it to any parent!

The teachers and staff members are incredibly caring and attentive.

I was very nervous as this was my son's first nursery, however the teachers and management made me feel reassured and fully supported.

The growth my son has shown since starting at the nursery has been amazing. He looks forward to going in every morning, which says so much. They offer a great variety of activities for the children and communicate very effectively with parents. We are constantly kept up to date on his progress and daily activities.

I could not recommend the nursery highly enough. A massive thank you to all the staff at Abacus Ark for their wonderful support.

Our son has been in Abacus Ark for 14 months now and we have nothing but praise for them. The transformation we have seen in his development and social skills has really impressed us. The staff are so friendly and patient and the nursery manager really, truly cares.

One recent example is his potty training the last month. It has involved many, many accidents but not once have we been made to feel bad for it. The staff have persevered and he is finally there.

He is so well supported by his teachers, he gets to learn Spanish on Tuesdays and loves sports on Thursdays. He can now say Hola and Adios very confidently and can finally kick a ball!

The manager is always available for support and she has a heart of gold. The whole team are wonderful - my son loves each and every staff member and especially He loves the food, the activities and the routine. We cant wait to watch him progress to Preschool and beyond. Thanks for everything! We love abacus ark.

Abacus Ark is a truly special place. From day one, my son - who started at 11 months and is now 2 - felt confident and at ease, and that says everything about the environment the team has created.

The care of the teachers is remarkable. They are all incredibly professional, empathetic, and warm, and they play a key role in making the nursery feel like a second home. My son is always happy when I drop him off in the morning, and just as happy when I come to pick him up in the afternoon - which, as any parent knows, is the best reassurance you can ask for.

What also sets Abacus Ark apart is how much they care about parents, not just children. They go the extra mile with activities and training sessions to support families along the way.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Abacus Ark to any new parent looking for a nurturing, professional, and caring nursery.

My daughter has been coming here since the age of One. Oh my days, she has grow in so many ways- and it takes a village to raise a child. Abacus Ark at Maida Vale have been on that village for us as a family, linking in and cheering her on as she develops. There is genuine care for the children here. My daughter has been shaped ,guided and loved by her 'Aunties' interactions as she navigates some of the milestones. As a father I has appreciated the feedback and non judgemental advice given, especially when I have asked about how they have dealt with my daughters warts and all moments. I just love interacting with the team, and have a high opinion of them because they are professional and also approachable. The team also need to be looked after, as i have seen how tiring and challenging it can be for them - so please dear parent who reads this- remember that a little bit of love goes a long long way for the team because they are really lovely and genuine. Take good care of them!

We have been so impressed with Abacus Ark Earlsfield. The settling in period was really thoughtfully planned and made our child feel at home from day one. All the team are so kind and communication is great. There a daily activities and outings which have really helped our child's confidence grow.

The nursery is excellent.

The staff are superb. They're informative, professional and kind. We feel that our daughter gets the best care and her development has accelerated positively since joining the nursery.

Abacus Ark Nursery Clapham has been such a great addition to my daughter's care and learning since she joined in Dec'25. We couldn't recommend them enough. We have also experienced first hand the level of care they have shown our daughter through unwell times and from this it really showed more trust from us in them. Great staff and a great nursery.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at the Abacus Ark Wandsworth nursery. Since starting, our daughter has had the most wonderful time - each day is filled with a wide variety of engaging, stimulating activities that have clearly supported her development and confidence.

What stands out most is how happy and settled she is. She goes in each morning with a smile and comes home just as content, which gives us such reassurance as parents.

The team are truly exceptional - warm, caring, and incredibly attentive. They keep us well informed about her day and progress, and it's clear how much genuine care they have for every child.

We feel very fortunate to be part of such a nurturing and inspiring environment, and we would wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to other families.

Our twin boys (age 3) have been attending Abacus Ark since January and we LOVE it! The staff are so kind and nurturing, the space is immaculate and the communication via app works really well. Our boys especially love the huge Soft Play area, walks to see the ducks and trips to the park for sports - it more than makes up for there not being outside space which I know does give some parents pause, but honestly the set up is brilliant.

We were especially pleased with the recent 'parents evening' where our boys' key worker spent well over an hour chatting with us. She had lots of great ideas for continued development and was also really open to our feedback in return.

We can't recommend it highly enough!

Lovely staff, lovely facility. They take great care of the girls, and work so hard to help them to develop language, writing, social, sports skills. They take the girls out for walks, trips, and keep them on their toes! The girls love it.

Our daughter has just joined at the nursery and we are so happy with the level of care and compassion that goes into her everyday wellbeing. She settled well and has made such special bonds with the team in her room.

My son has been attending the nursery for almost two years, and throughout this time we have never had any issues. He is very happy there, and the daily activities organised for the children are excellent. Soon he will be moving on to Reception, so we will truly miss the nursery.

Our little one absolutely loves Abacus Ark! He is always excited to go in the morning and comes home happy, content, and well-fed every single day. We love that he gets a mix of outdoor adventures, creative sensory activities, and genuine learning. Since starting at Abacus Ark, he has truly been thriving. It's such a relief to know he's in such a nurturing and fun environment!

We feel so lucky to have found Abacus Ark as our son's first nursery. From day one, the team made us feel welcome and reassured, and they've supported him with so much patience and kindness. It's been lovely to see him grow in confidence, independence, and social skills since starting.

The staff are consistently professional, supportive, and approachable, and it's clear they really know the children as individuals and genuinely care about them. We also really appreciate how educational the nursery is. There's a great balance of learning and play, with thoughtful activities that keep him engaged and developing.

A special mention as well for the food: it's fresh, varied, and clearly well-prepared, which gives us real peace of mind.

Thank you to the whole Abacus Ark team for everything they do. We're genuinely grateful and would highly recommend to other parents.

We're so happy we chose this wonderful small nursery! The team are incredibly friendly and provide such thoughtful, creative activities. Since joining at the end of 2025, my son has learned and grown so much.

The whole process, from initial enquiry to enrolment, was seamless. The nursery manager has been amazing at answering all my questions and offering reassurance including extra updates phonecalls and photos (I'm a very anxious mum-not so much now thanks to the team!!)

He runs into nursery every day, and that fills me with so much joy each morning. Wednesday (soft play day) is his absolute favourite. And he adores Dance lessons too. Thank you to the entire staff team for everything you do - we're so grateful!!
