Abbeymore is a brilliant place for babies and toddlers under the school age, our son has been there for around a year now and we are throughly pleased by all the staff, activities and care. The nursery has amazing facilities and prides itself on great learning development through play. The outdoor place
is far larger than the surrounding nurseries we saw.
Staff make the experience great they have genuine connections and care for the children. They will go over and above to ensure everything is right.
The app is always updated with photos and progress and the teachers always give a handover at the end of the day.

Sometimes the app filled in for the day does not reflect what my son ate for the day and when I collect him to ask about what he ate for lunch as it was not record. The staff cannot tell me.
Overall my child seems to love nursery and is happy there. He goes running in. He has developed a bond with
one staff in particular.

Both of our children have been / are very happy at Abbeymore. The facilities are excellent but it is the staff that make it so special and my children have created forever bonds with the people that they have spent time with there.
As a full time working parent it is a really important to me to know
that my children are in safe hands with people who care for them. We have found that at Abbeymore.

Wow! Abbeymore is outstanding. Aesthetically & from the hearts of all who work there. My daughter has just completed her settling in period and as a parent, I cannot rate this nursery highly enough. We have transferred from another BH nursery due to a relocation and I'm so pleased we found Abbeymore.
Management have been nothing but supportive, kind, understanding and approachable.
Room staff have been outstanding and always keep you updated with pictures and feedback - so reassuring!
The children seem very happy. They have ample space to play and a huge garden that they can access at all times. The activities they undertake make me want to join in too!
I have absolutely no doubt that my daughter is in the best of hands. Drop offs still remain a little upsetting but 5 mins into her day there, she's happy and tells me so much of her day upon pickup.
I feel sad that this wasn't her nursery from when she first started.
Highly recommend. And that's coming from a 'particular mum'.

Would highly recommend Abbeymore Day nursery. The management team went above and beyond to ensure our daughter was fully settled in before starting at the nursery. The nursery is bright, clean and spacious and very well organised. Both the key staff members assigned to our daughter were exceptional
and very easy and lovely to speak with. One member of staff, in particular, goes out of her way to ensure our child's needs are met and always assures us by providing additional information when required. The management team are also very hands on in the rooms interacting and taking care of the children.

Joined Abbeymore in September 2024. The place looks amazing, feels like my child is at home - very cosy and warm with positive vibes. No feel of being at an institution. Lots of indoor/outdoor activities and great hygiene. I always find my child happy and with the same energy as I left him in the morning
and this is a good indication for me that Abbeymore is doing a wonderful job. In addition the fact that Abbeymore is open till 6:30pm, it takes away the stress of pick up
by 6pm. Sometimes traffic can be bad and knowing that 30 minutes extra is there it makes a big difference. Am super happy to have found Abbeymore for my child. Thank you Abbeymore, for all your wonder efforts in my child's development and great experience growing up.

Both our sons are currently at Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool: one in preschool now having joined at 7 months old and one in the baby room who is 15 months old. We have had a brilliant experience with the nursery. The team go above and beyond for the children and our boys have great
relationships with their key workers and other adults.
The nursery regularly hosts events for parents to attend - which has been lovely to see the daily experience offered at nursery and chat to staff and other parents.
Over the last couple of years, we've seen huge changes in the environment and it offers a calm space with plenty to keep the children occupied and exploring effectively. The outdoor area, in particular, has changed a lot and the children spend a lot of time outdoors whatever the weather.
A brilliant nursery!

My daughter has attended two Bright Horizons Nurseries. After one closed down, we transferred over to Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool. It's been fantastic so far. The staff are very happy and nurturing to the children and their needs. My daughter is always happy to go to school.
As usual, clingy in the mornings but once I leave she goes to her usual happy self playing and making friends. She's very comfortable there and talks about her friends and the garden. I especially love seeing the photos and details of the activities they do daily. The management of the branch is especially attentive and helpful.

Our first child started his journey at Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool in 2023. In that year, his speech, social skills and confidence improved greatly. So it was a no-brainer that we enrolled our second this August to begin his adventures at the nursery too.
He was so attached
to us initially but the staff worked with us to get him settled at his own pace and without distress. Already, I am beginning to see changes. He gets involved in creative activities prepared by staff and he comes home so excited and eager to put his newfound knowledge and skills to use.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.

I always feel like the staff really care about my child. I love dropping her off and picking her up, the team is always so welcoming. I have attended the parent days, I can and love being able to see my child in her setting. The updates on the app are really useful, especially at the start when you're
used to being with your child all the time I found it much easier being aware from her seeing what she was up to. We treasure all the things our child comes home with - paintings, Mother's Day and Father's Day gifts. A truly fantastic team.

My daughter started at Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool when she was 9 months old and she is nearly 3 now. She absolutely loves going in and talks about all the staff in her room. The room leader is so caring with her as well as all the other staff in her room. They always listen

Our son started his journey at Abbeymore three months ago when he was 10 months old. Since then we have so much improvement in his physical development, confidence, and social skills for which a lot of the credit goes to the team at Abbeymore. He enjoys his time there. They line some some fun and learning
activities for babies, excursions, offer different textures and tastes of healthy food and snacks, and pay particular attention to any special needs or dietary requirements. We get daily feedback from his key person on his day. Together our son and his key person have established a very good bond which has really helped him settle in. Would highly recommend Abbeymore if you are in search of a nursery that has it all covered!

We are very happy with Abbeymore Nursery. My child is now going five days a week and cannot wait to be dropped off. He always comes home with something new he picked up in the nursery, a new dance, maybe him carrying his own plate or a new sound he makes. We absolutely love seeing the pictures the nursery
uploads daily, never get enough of those! The activities are creative and educating, we feel Thomas is being looked after well and the nursery is very well set up for many things we would not be able to do at home. Observations of the individual children are also really helpful to us parents to see how our kids are doing. And it's lovely to hear when they are all clever or discovered a new skill.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.757)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.757) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.757 for Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (410 Excellents x 5) + (99 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 523 Ratings = 4.757

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 43 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 121 number of registered child places is 24.2, which has been reached with 43 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

"Education is the most powerful weapon with which you can change the world" - Nelson Mandela.

I grew up in sunny South Africa where the people are as warm-hearted as the climate. Both my parents worked in education and taught us the importance of working hard from a young age. I spent my childhood playing outside and have fond memories of climbing trees and making mud pies!

After the birth of my daughter, I developed a keen interest in how young children learn and develop. Knowledge is power after all. I enrolled on a BA(Hons) degree in Early Childhood Studies and went on to train as a Primary Teacher based in a Reception class. After the birth of my son, I worked in a private day nursery as a Preschool Teacher and later a Deputy Manager. Most recently, I have completed a Post Graduate Certificate in Early Years at the University of Reading with Early Years Teacher Status.

I live in Wokingham with my husband and two children. In my free time, I enjoy going for long walks in the countryside with our beloved Golden Retriever.

I hope to impart my knowledge and experience to my team so that each child in our setting can reach his or her full potential. My goal is to provide children with meaningful early years experiences so that they can develop a thirst for life-long learning.

Joined: 2012

In 2012, I gained my qualification in Early Years: Childcare and Education, and joined a very small private girls' school faced with potential closure. After becoming co-educational, I successfully helped build up the Early Years Centre to operate all year round with wrap-around care.

Looking for a new challenge, I was warmly welcomed to Abbeymore in November 2022. I look forward to seeing what I can bring to the Nursery in my role as Deputy Nursery Manager. I am extremely passionate about giving children the best possible start to their lives and using my experience in a school to prepare them for school life.

When not at work, I enjoy taking long countryside walks with my partner and our lovely dogs – a Border Terrier and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
