Review from Clare H (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Abbey Wood Grange will take excellent care of your child. Our daughter arrived aged 2 and is now prepared for school. Whilst at Abbey Wood Grange she’s received so much love and support from the excellent staff and carers. She loves the toys, the craft, the playground, all the activities, the special trips, and the sausages. Abbey Wood Grange is also super convenient if you commute to London. We couldn’t recommend it more.

Overall Experience

A home from home environment with kind and professional staff. My twelve month old daughter attends the nursery and she loves it. There are plenty of activities to keep the children entertained inside the nursery as well as excellent outdoor areas to which the children are safe and have lots of fun. The staff are professional and friendly and have exceeded my expectations to the excellent care they have provided for my daughter. Would highly recommend Abbey Wood Grange to any parent looking for child care.

Overall Experience

My son has been at the nursery for just over a year now and he loves it so much. Starting off doing just a few hours a week to more now, the staff have treated him and me so kindly, always greet us with our names in a morning! Haven't a clue how they remember everyone's names but that's how personal they are. Staff so friendly and always there to help and guide with everything, eating fads to potty training! I know every time I drop him off he will have an amazing day and the mum guilt fades away!

Review from Alison B (Mother of Child) published on 11 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Abbey Wood Nursery for 17 months and during that time she has thrived. She was previously at another nursery where she wasn’t settled. She now loves going to nursery and her days here are so action packed with activities, she has so much to tell us each day. The facilities are excellent, particularly the outdoor space and the downstairs “romp room”. The staff are really welcoming and fully engaged with the children. They also make an effort to know all the parents too. I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

Review from Natalie R (Mother of Child) published on 10 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have two daughters and both have attended this nursery. One left around 10 years ago but my youngest is still there. When choosing a nursery Abbey Wood was the first choice and to be honest I could not be happier. I needed to feel comfortable leaving my daughters whilst I was at work, and without a doubt, this has always been the case.

Both my daughters enjoyed the time at the nursery and my youngest has needed some extra some support during the time she has been there and she has received this. Everyone has always been willing to help and go the extra mile to support my daughter! I always recommend Abbey Wood Grange whenever anyone asks me!

Review from Rebecca P (Mother of Child) published on 10 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My twins aged 2.5 have been attending Abbey Wood Grange Day Nursery since September 2017. After working in nurseries for years I have very high expectations of what I wanted for my children and Abbey Wood Grange Day Nursery have gone beyond the expectations! My children are happy and thriving, the staff are welcoming and friendly and provide the children with a fantastic variety of activities. My children are always eager to get to nursery in the morning and always welcomed so lovely into the room!

Management is approachable and ensures they make an effort to know all the parents and children, they are so helpful and knowledgeable and really ensure all parents thoughts and views are taken into account!

Review from Tara T (Mother of Child) published on 23 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Abbey Wood Grange Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery with great facilities for children of all age ranges (<5 years). The staff are wonderful. They are engaging and caring and together with their modern facilities, this fosters the perfect environment for the development of the children.

The management are very understanding and accommodating. Perhaps most importantly, the personal care is second to none. My son has been attending Abbey Wood Grange Day Nursery for over 2 years now and I have no worries leaving him there and he absolutely loves it!

Overall Experience
My experience overall is good, I judge mainly by how my daughter is. Dropping off is never a problem and she talks a lot at home about her friends and the Teachers. I'm very interested in the learning side and can evidence activities done and set are all to aid the child.

The Tapestry system which is a recent edition I'm in favour of and my daughter eats well-balanced food.

Overall Experience

My son is 13 months and has been at Abbey Wood for nearly 5 months now and we have been extremely happy. The staff and facilities are excellent and he settled in very quickly. It is not easy having to go back to work and find childcare, however, the staff made the transition seamless and have an excellent rapport with my son.

Review from Anne W (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We knew the moment we stepped foot in this nursery that it was different to all the others we viewed because the whole atmosphere was so bright and cheery and everyone we met seemed genuinely happy to be there, staff and children alike.

The managers are lovely and really hands-on and have day to day involvement with the children which I think is important. The carers are fantastic and really engage with the children well from everything we've seen both in the baby and toddler unit.

We honestly couldn't be happier with the nursery and our daughter loves it there despite initially being a very clingy baby when we first enrolled her.

The extended opening hours and proximity to the station make commuting into London really easy too.

Since joining Abbey Wood, my daughter has developed in so many ways. She is more confident and balanced and looks forward to going to nursery every day. My daughter loves the teachers very much and the teachers are very approachable for parents.

Overall Experience

The staff are always friendly and helpful. The care they provide for my daughter is second to none. With the early opening of 07h30 it allows us just that bit more commuting time in the morning. The have a variety of activities that my daughter really enjoys. My daughter has attended this nursery for about a year and a half now and I would highly recommend them.

Review from Adele S (Mother of Child) published on 17 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Abbey Wood for about 18 months and in that time I have watched her grow with confidence. The staff are always professional and treat both us, as parents, and our daughter with respect and kindness. They organise a lot of activities to keep the children stimulated and entertained. They encourage children to explore and learn at their own pace with a number of different approaches. Every query has always been handled efficiently and because of this I trust they will make the right decisions for her during the course of the day. The meals and snacks that are provided are always fresh, healthy and diverse.

Review from James W (Father of Child) published on 22 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been very happy with the nursery. It is an independent nursery which we liked as it didn't feel like just another nursery. The staff are always very friendly and we like the facilities compared to other local nurseries, especially the large garden and soft play room.

The admin side does not feel necessary like a polished system but works effectively none the less. From our experience, they keep to their child care policies which is reassuring.

Review from Guillaume P (Father of Child) published on 21 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The first baby room had a great carer who seems caring and spares no energy looking after the babies. However, the next room my son was moved into left much to be desired. The carers there were quite apathetic and would just sit while children cried. Fortunately, my son could be moved quickly to the next age-range room where carers feel competent and caring once again.

I'm overall happy with the nursery, but it would be even better if the level of care wasn't so unequal between rooms.

Review from Hayley (Mother of Child) published on 7 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has loved Abbey Wood Grange ever since starting 2 months ago. She is happy to go in every day, always smiling and waving at the staff.
The staff are kind and always know her by name, they are helpful when you phone up and happy to answer any questions or concerns.

She gets a good variety of food and what she has eaten is recorded daily in her book.

I love the way the nursery keep you informed with newsletters and pictures so you can see what the children have been up to. They also make a lot of effort to take part in activities for charity/days such as Halloween/Christmas by having the children dress up, have special meals and do different activities.

Overall Experience

My daughter enjoys her days at Abbey Wood, making friends and learning important life skills. The nursery arranges a wide variety of activities for the kids. There are lots of events for celebrating every holiday.

The location is great (2min away from the station). Food served is healthy. The nursery teachers are approachable and caring. All in all great place for the little ones.

Review from S C (Mother of Child) published on 7 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The first key carer is caring and nice to him. However, I feel that a few of other carers were not patient with him as he was crying when trying to settle into the new environment at the beginning, especially when he was teething too. When he was moved to Lemon room, where I did not feel he was cared as much as he was in pink room. Also a few times I was told that carers were just sitting there doing nothing when children were crying. Management seems to be doing their jobs to reassure parents, but I did not feel some of the carers were cooperative. Trying the Lylic room and hoping things work out.
