Nurtured @ Packmoor staff are fully committed to providing a ‘home from home’ environment for children to enjoy. The setting welcomes children from 3 months to 5 years old and aims to provide all children with high-quality care in a warm, safe and friendly environment with a variety of stimulating resources.
The nursery has an enclosed garden with safety flooring and a variety of age-appropriate outdoor resources. The nursery also has a CCTV system installed throughout the premises.
The staff follow the 'early years foundation' stage framework to support early learning experiences, and this is backed up with lots of practical hands-on activities for children in all age groups.
However, they are about more than just covering the curriculum; it’s about teaching children to share experiences and building confidence.
Staff hold appropriate early years qualifications which give children the care and inspiration needed to thrive in a rich and fun learning environment.
The nursery cook prepares freshly cooked meals on the premises daily. Individual dietary needs are also catered for.
All staff are trained in paediatric first aid, food hygiene, safeguarding, manual handling as well as plenty of other ongoing training to support the delivery of the 'early years foundation stage'. This ensures that parents have peace of mind when leaving children in the nursery. The nursery also participates in the 'Stoke speaks out', communication and language screening program.
The nursery has strong partnerships with parents and staff keep parents updated about each child's day on a daily basis.
Funded places are available for 2, 3 and 4 year old’s.
Abacus will provide all children with the opportunity to make friends and gain the confidence to make the move up into the first year at school and beyond.

My 3-year-old daughter has been attending for almost a year now. My daughter is a SEN child, the SENco and setting have been brilliant with her. They understand her extra needs and make provisions for her such as a sensory area and a quiet place for her to go when she needs to regulate, but most importantly allow her to be herself. They work well with other professionals who my child is in regular contact with and will advocate for her needs if needed.
Thank you so much for your kind review it is so lovely to read! We are so glad you are happy with the service we provide and how you recognise how the team goes above and beyond, we look forward to sharing this with the team, thank you again!

My little girl has been attending Abacus since February 2024. She absolutely loves it there and has formed a lovely relationship with the staff. There are so many activities done with the children and the meals are brilliant and varied. The staff are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble and they're always really pleasant. The app is also updated frequently throughout the day so I get to see how my little one is getting on.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are so pleased you are happy with the service and care provided at the site. The staff will love to hear your comments which we will feedback with them, thanks again!

Great nursery, easy to park, staff always welcoming, and fab handovers, so much patience with myself at handover times. My daughter has really progressed through nursery and loved spending time with the staff and friends at Abacus. No complaints from me. The nursery has been through a tough time this year which didn't affect me or my daughter, but I believe with the particular member of staff stepping into the manager role, and the staff working together, it has taken a turn for the best! The new manager is a fantastic manager. Thank you to all the staff at Abacus for making my daughter's experience of nursery good and looking after her from such a young age.
Thank you for your lovely review, it is really appreciated!
Would 100% recommend Abacus Day Nursery to anyone my little boy had the best time, made lots of wonderful memories, and also made lots of new friends. The nursery itself is fantastic but the staff are even better.

You know your child is going to a friendly, fun environment when they race to the door each morning excited to go. Our son's speech, development, and confidence have flourished since he attended Abacus and that is all down to the staff's wonderful manner and care. The staff draw on your child's likes and hobbies to support their development and they always have a smile on their face. It's a lovely setting for any child to attend!

She is so happy with all of the activities she does, all the messy things she adores and is always coming home with creations from the day.
I can't thank the staff enough for helping shape her ready for school, in particular all of those who have been involved with her directly through the rooms.
I am sad knowing her time with you is coming to an end but she will have the memories you helped create forever.

I was so anxious about him starting this journey but even through the challenging times of him getting upset I always felt so reassured that he was in the best hands. He now goes in with a big smile on his face and enjoys every moment of his time there. A special mention to the ladies in the stars room who have been nothing but exceptional. I honestly can't thank you enough and would recommend Abacus to anyone!
My daughter has attended this nursery for close to 2 years now, we have always been happy with her care, in particular as she has a medical condition. The curriculum itself and activities provided have improved massively over the past 6 months and our daughter is showing great progress. All the...
The current management goes above and beyond to ensure the whole nursery is run to the best standard and that the parents and children are happy. Thank you so much for your hard work and care.

Our boy has been going to Abacus for 18 months now, this has been the best decision we have made. His vocabulary and social skills have improved no end. He enjoys going and drop-offs aren’t a big drama due to how safe secure and happy the team there have made him feel. The array of activities and time invested into the children is a credit to the nursery and the staff who provide and work with the children daily. Communication from the office is spot on. If we decide to have another child, Abacus will be top of our list of nurseries to go.
I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Abacus Nursery. My daughter has been attending for nearly a year now. The improvement in her speech and her ability to count is outstanding.

Our son settled into the nursery quickly thanks to the friendly staff. He is becoming more independent and enjoying his time more each time he attends. We couldn't ask for a better nursery. Thank you, Abacus!

We travel from out of the area to bring our second child to Abacus after our experience with our first child attending was so wonderful. The staff at Abacus are caring and professional and have the children's best interests at heart. Over the past 4 years, we have been pleased to see continuous improvement of the great facilities. Both of our children have enjoyed their time and Abacus and I highly recommend them.
My little girl likes coming to Abacus and has bonded well with the other children. I do however have to point out that standards seem to be dropping and the staff turnover is concerning in a nursery environment. It is a good nursery overall but I would like to see improvements as it could be better.

Thank you for your review and feedback which we very much value. We are very happy that your daughter enjoys coming to Abacus. With regards to the staff turnover, this is due to approximately 25% of our staff team taking maternity leave in a very short period of time with only one member of staff leaving for a career change. This has meant that we have a number of new staff members join our team who have settled into the nursery very well.
My little girl started at Abacus Day Nursery around 6 months ago, she absolutely loves going to Nursey she can’t get through the door quick enough in the morning. Her speech and development has been amazing since starting. All the staff are so lovely and always happy to help.

Staff are constantly trying to help my daughter thrive in all aspects. Supporting me and her with potty training especially. Always contact if any issues or if she is acting out of character etc. Always able to call to check in and have the parent portal for updates if unable to call.

My child is happy to attend Abacus. They are provided with many different experiences and encouraged to try new things. The staff are polite and will explain in more detail about the tasks my child has taken part in if asked. Any concerns are dealt with as soon as possible.

Abacus have proven and shown that they care for my child, as he loves his school, Abacus sends out updates and daily reports of my child and what he has been up to, with accurate and true information, which is something I love. Thank you.

All the staff have been absolutely amazing at Abacus Day Nursery to help get my son settled in. They keep me updated with what he has done and reassure me I can call and check on him throughout the day. I’m really pleased I picked this nursery, I would highly recommend.
