Abbey Wood Grange Day Nursery

Our children attend the nursery one day a week and have settled in well. They have recently moved up to the next room and the welcome they have received there had been great. Within 2 weeks they have stopped crying on drop off. They always seem to have had a good day and I like the variety of activities that they do. The staff in their room and the office staff have always been very friendly and helpful.

I have previously reviewed the nursery when my son was younger, however, I have been so impressed with the transition from nursery care to Pre-school care at Abbey Wood that I wanted to leave another. My son has recently moved into the final class at Abbey Wood 'Woodlands' and the difference in structure has been great and a very smooth transition. I was particularly impressed with the nursery's communication to parents as to the changes that would be made and the information given with regards to preparing for school and I can see that my son is thriving on the different learning activities that have been implemented. I have always liked the environment at Abbey Wood throughout the years but even more so now that updates have been made to the classrooms and building as well as the level of communication with parents. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery for babies all the way up until school.

I good highly recommend Abbey Wood Grange.

My son started attending in March 2016 at the age of 1 and has now moved up from baby to toddler room. So far Abbeywood has been brilliant. The staff are fantastic, eager to help and extremely caring towards the children- sensitive to the routines our son was used to as a baby and also our own preferences, whilst also aiding his growth and teaching him new things. We have seen him develop so much and his confidence has also grown. The outside space and facilities like the romp room are also excellent. My son is extremely happy there and I'm sure this is because he doesn't get bored- loves the activities and the romp room as well as socialising with both the staff and kids. We have not worried about him or the level of care and attention he will get, whilst at work and have so far not been wrong about trusting Abbeywood with our most precious thing in the world. I am now expecting my second and will definitely be using Abbeywood again for childcare on my return to work.

My son has Asperger's and the nursery could not have catered better for him. His keyworker helped him with potty training by creating a 'toilet story' and putting his favourite pictures in the toilet cubicle. She also made up a box of alphabet activities especially for him, to serve as a distraction when he is dropped off and distraught to see me leave. This worked a treat! My son finds it difficult to eat at a table with other children, so they set him up at a table on his own, but then gently helped him make the transition to eating with others, by asking two of the quieter children to join him at the table. It worked! All the adults take a great interest in his happiness and general progress. They are all conscientious, warm, caring and insightful regarding his needs. The fact that the nursery has a soft play room in the basement is also a great bonus!

My daughter attended Abby Wood Grange from 9 months old until she started school. She was always happy and went to school well prepared. My toddler son now attends and I have seen him grow socially and he is always happy.

My baby has just started nursery. I was anxious that he won't settle as he is only 7 months old. He settled very quickly and doesn't cry when I leave him or collect him. The nursery staff are approachable, always caring and very helpful. There is a newsletter at the end of the month with photos and an email to keep us updated of next month's events. I am also impressed by the nursery's facilities and does not hesitate to recommend them.

Our daughter is very happy at Abbey Wood - we have no worries whatsoever! The staff are all so friendly, approachable and always go out of there way to help and genuinely care for our daughter. We feel at ease leaving her for the day for nursery and are so pleased that are youngest daughter will be starting there too soon!

A very caring and friendly nursery, where my daughter loves to go. Very helpful staff, great facilities and excellent food. My daughter is currently in the baby room but will be moving up to the toddler room next month. The baby room has two lovely cosy rooms where they play and can go outside on toys. Really impressed with the way the staff update you on your child's day and if ever a problem they call you straight away to let you know.

Excellent nursery. Overall standard is excellent, learning is excellent, care is excellent, staff is excellent, management is excellent, safeguarding is excellent, facilities are excellent, resources are excellent

The nursery is very good and the staff are very professional and friendly. My daughter seems to enjoy herself and likes the staff. I would like to see more fruit as a pudding option instead of sugary yogurts and flapjacks etc. But generally very happy with the care.

Abbey Wood Grange continues to be a happy and wonderful environment for my child. The staff are always helpful, approachable, friendly, positive and evidently fantastic with the kids. My child's development is being invested in with great care and an individual approach and we are very happy with the nursery!

Both my children have attended Abbey Wood Grange since the age of one. My husband and I chose this nursery as we were impressed by the spacious outdoor facilities, the friendly and warm nature of the staff and the many varied activities on offer. The staff are always warm and welcoming and genuinely care about the children - it is a happy place and I have always felt comfortable leaving my children there, knowing that they will be well looked after. The staff work really hard to put on lots of fun activities for the children - from daily arts and crafts activities to the annual sports day, Tilgate park outing and Christmas fayre. There is always lots going on at Abbey Wood and the management are very good at keeping parents informed via weekly emails with photos.

My son has been attending since he was 1, (he is now 2 1\2). We have found he is learning very quickly from singing the alphabet to nursery rhymes and his vocabulary is constantly increasing which all credit must be given to Abbey Wood Grange. The most important thing though is that he loves going to nursery and is always happy when we pick him up.

This is my second child at the nursery and I have found the nursery to be very caring and I have a lot of trust in the staff they hire. During the 4 years that my children have been at the nursery, I have seen very little staff turnover and the staff seem happy and always show a lot of love towards the children. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone needing childcare whilst they go to work.

My daughter went to Abbey Wood grange a few years ago it was lovely then all the staff were brilliant and i love the space the gardens and outside play areas, so this year looking for a nursery for my son and youngest daughter I came and looked around again and it was brilliant to see all the same staff I knew it was the perfect setting for them they love it and learn so much.

My two kids has been going to Abbeywood Grange Nursery for over 6 months now. They have both settled in quickly which help re assured me as their father that they ok. A lot of this is down to friendly stand caring staff. They informed me at each pick up what they have been doing through out the day. They have been very accommodating if I needed to book them in for extra days or change the times.

My son loves it - staff are very friendly and uniquely a range of ages. The nursery takes education seriously but is also lots of fun. You get a weekly email updates from the nursery, with pictures too.

My daughter has been attending Abbeywood since she was 1 and is now in the pre school. She loves going to nursery, we have never had a problem with her not settling and she has built great relationships with the staff who are all friendly and approachable. They have wonderful play/learning facilities both inside and outside with a large garden full of activities for all ages. There is an indoor romp room with soft play which my daughter thoroughly enjoys. All classrooms are well equipped with age appropriate toys etc. All round a great nursery.

I couldn't recommend Abbey Wood highly enough.
