About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Our son has attended ABC since he was 9 months old until last month, when he left to start primary school. We couldn't have asked for a better start for him and we're so proud of how nursery has benefited his all around development. All of the staff worked very hard to keep the days engaging, exciting and inclusive for all. It felt like every week there was a new theme, event or project happening. The nursery is also family run, so you know the safety and wellbeing of all the children is top priority you have a direct line of communication. Overall, we would recommend this nursery to anybody in Bearwood or immediate areas if you want a local, trusted and committed nursery for your own children.
Thank you for your lovely review its been lovely seeing your son develop and grow through the years at ABC, All the best

ABC is a fantastic nursery and I would highly recommend it. My daughter has attended for the past 2 years, starting when she was around 10 months old. All the staff are caring, attentive and professional. It's very well run, with staff going above and beyond to provide a broad range of activities and experiences for the children. The manager Liz supports parents with thought and care through her flexibility e.g. if we've needed extra days on a short term basis. Nothing is too much trouble. Our daughter has grown in confidence, made lovely friends and flourished in their care. What I like most is how the staff focus on the children rather than completing reports on apps. The scrapbooks and paper based learning journals, as well as efficient verbal feedback and the occasional photo via a messaging app, give parents all they need to know. Overall, an excellent nursery. Thank you ABC!
Thank you for your lovely review, wishing you all the best in your new home
We highly recommend ABC Nursery. The team are caring, enthusiastic, professional and consistently accommodating. All staff whom our son came across with, provide an excellent level of individual attention, creating a warm and supportive environment where children can develop confidence,...
What impressed us profoundly is that the nursery also places a strong emphasis on children's nutrition, providing healthy, well-balanced meals which includes many dishes that are cooked from scratch. Portions are generous, and children are offered more food when needed, which shows the care and attention given to their individual needs.
Liz has clearly worked hard to maintain a nursery with high standards, a friendly atmosphere and a strong focus on each child's wellbeing and development.
Our experience with ABC Nursery has been extremely positive, and we would confidently recommend it to other families.
Jetsan's mum ( attended the nursery from 2024-2026)
Thank you for your lovely review, it has been a pleasure having Jetsan at the nursery. All the best
An excellent family-run nursery which I have been using for over 10 years. The staff are very professional and caring, all my children had an amazing time attending it. It has been great preparation for school as I have seen my children develop and grow their confidence while attending.

Both of my children attended this nursery from when they were 9months old, dating back to 2020.
The staff/manager are all amazing and it was incredible to see how much my children were learning and growing whilst having fun.
All areas of the nursery are clean and they have a variety of different foods which is well balanced. The care in which my children have received is amazing and you can see the relationships between the staff and children are so close.
The staff/manager go above and beyond with the children and always at pick up let you know how their day has been.
The children have a variety of activities and have such fun in the summer with staff having water fun ! I am sad to see my last child leave this nursery :(
Thank you for your lovely review, its been lovely to see your two children grow up and their personalities grow. All the best and keep in touch

This nursery has felt like an extension of family life for my daughter. The staff are so in tune with each child and their unique needs. My daughter speaks often about how much she enjoys going. As a full time working mum it has given me such peace of mind knowing how well she is looked after. I see investment in the facilities for the children and creativity in celebrating their milestones. The staff are approachable, friendly and caring. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

This is an amzing nursery. Very caring, supportive and approachable staff. My son started at 2 years old and wouldnt interact with anyone, wouldnt talk or ask for help either. He has left this year to go to school full of confidence, made friends, and speaking to staff. The staff meet childrens individual needs, and put their all into what they do. The children do a great range of activities indoors and outdoors, and also provide them with fun days with splash pads and water play, graduation days, and parent stay and plays. They have outdoor people come in to do activities, such as disco duck, spanish, and mini athletics which my son loved doing. I honeslty dont think I could have found a better nursery for my son to attend. Staff always keep you updated on your childs progress, written and verbally, and provide photos of what your child has done throughout the week. Its 100% one of the best nursery's around!
Thank you for your lovely review, it was great to see your child thrive and grow in confidence. All the best and keep in touch
Amazing nursery! wonderful staff and amazing management. my child blossomed so greatly with the help of this nursery. up to date setting and staff really put your mind at ease. children are well looked after in their care

My son was admitted in this nursery when he was 2.5 years old. We continued here for an year. After that, we relocated to India as I got a job in India. This is an excellent nursery. My son has a problem in social interaction. The nursery helped him in all possible ways to overcome this and always supported him. Whenever we became worried about our son, they came up with valuable inputs. The staffs are excellent and very caring. My son used to enjoy his time there. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your kind review, wishing you all the best with your new life in india

My children have thrived here. Staff are warm, loving and genuinely delight in the children. They go above and beyond and individuality is valued and celebrated. They work really hard to provide a stimulating and educational environment whilst embracing continuous provision, curiosity and play. I felt like they really knew my children. Genuinely so sad that my era of nursery is over as ABC are a real staple of the community, but my girls have started school as happy, confident children who have been given the best start. Liz - manager - has always tried to accommodate individual circumstances and always goes above and beyond for her staff / the community. Can't rate them highly enough especially in a tough economic climate / chronic underfunding.
Thank you for your Kind words, we are so pleased the girls have started school so confidently. make sure you stay in touch
The staff are wonderful, the experiences they get are fantastic and Liz always goes above and beyond to make sure parents...
The staff are wonderful, the experiences they get are fantastic and Liz always goes above and beyond to make sure parents are involved and the children get wider experiences- for example a yearly Christmas party, a yearly community trip as well as disco duck, hands on animal experiences and in her last year my daughter learned Spanish through singing.
We are so pleased we chose ABC! Thank you!
Thank you for your lovely review. its important to us as a setting that we can offer as many experiences as we can to all of the children

After a bad experience with both a nursery and a childminder, I was hesitant to send my daughter to another nursery. After meeting the staff at ABC I was put at ease. My daughter has additional needs and the nursery has supported her through the last 2 years bringing on her speech and confidence. My only regret is that I didn't send her there first.
Thank you for your review, it was so lovely to see your little one's character grow and grow. It was lovely to see the friendships she made and she always made us smile. Make sure you drop in and visit soon.
Both my children have used this nursery with the youngest just leaving to go to school. The staff are amazing and so caring towards the children. The nursery is full of fun everyday. I would recommend this nursery one thousand percent. They put me as a mother as ease leaving my children knowing...

Thank you for your kind words, and I'm so pleased to hear of your positive experience during your children's time at ABC. All the best to you both and your girls. Keep in touch.

I have two children and both attended this nursery 7 years apart. This nursery is outstanding. They go above and beyond for your children and both have been ready for school by the time they have finished- they both started at 9 months old up until just under 5 years old. They have been extremely well looked after and have learned so much from their experiences and from the staff taking care of them. They have been taught, through play, all about numbers, shapes, and phonics- the nursery does its best to give children the best start in life and they ensure lots of fun is had too in all manner of different activities. Both my children have loved this nursery and have been very sad to leave.
Thank you for your lovely review, I'm so pleased you have been happy with the service over so many years. As a family-run business, we like to keep standards high and ensure every child has the best experience. Stay in touch and all the best.

My daughter has been going full time for over 3 years, since she the age of 1. They consistently deliver not only a wide range of activities but the staff’s care and patience have had such a wonderful influence on my little one. She loved the staff and ate really well! Her communication skills, social skills, motor skills came on leaps and bounds. She’s made great friends and I trust the staff implicitly, it takes the weight out of leaving her in their care.
Not only are all her needs met, her behaviour improved, I felt really supported as a parent.
Extra parties and celebrations were organised, well over and above what you may expect, the care and generosity were overwhelming! Christmas parties, Easter celebrations, coronation tea party, just amazing!
Updates and photos via the online group are lovely, you’re made to feel part of their day- I’ll miss it so much now she’s moving on to school. They gave her such a lovely start - thank you!
Thank you for such a lovely review, we are so pleased to hear that you had such a great experience at ABC. Stay in touch and all the best at big school.
My daughter has been here for a couple of years and she absolutely loves it, great place, lots to do, friendly staff and they always go above and beyond to keep the children happy with entertainment on special occasions, parties etc. Would highly recommend.

Thank you for your kind review; we like to keep things fun, as this is what makes the memories for the children. All the best.
From the first day until the last day and all of the days during the Covid-19 pandemic, the management and staff at A B C Day Nursery went above and beyond to ensure that our little boy was made to feel welcome. He learnt so much during his time at A B C, and we were all so grateful for the...
Thank you for everything.
We all miss you and wish you every success in the future, and know that you will support the foundation of many little ones to come.
Thank you for your lovely review. Covid-19 was a tough time for all, but it was our aim to keep it as normal for the children as possible. Keep in touch, and all the best.
