Abacus Ark Nursery School Maida Vale

I would highly recommend the nursery in all aspects to any family!

My little one has been attending Abacus since 11 months old and she is 22 months old now. I always have lovely and reassuring chats with the staff and I can see how much they look out for my daughter. They always phone if there is an issue or they want me to be aware of something - and I am extremely grateful. Thank you to Abacus staff who keep my little one entertained, hug and rock her gently when she is feeling less than her usual self and is upset, and communicate with me and my partner. It is so reassuring and lovely. At the end of each day I often have a bounding, cheeky little one, happily running up to me and wanting to show me around the nursery...or steal their equipment / books. Sorry Abacus ;) - Thank you for taking such good care of our precious girl. :)

My toddler daughter absolutely loves going to Abacus and has thrived at the nursery since she started going at age 1. The teachers, including the senior staff, are so loving and wonderful towards her and it's clear from their approach that they genuinely care and love the children in the nursery and they value their education even at very young ages. As my daughter is my first-born child, I was nervous at first about her going to nursery, but Abacus has been such an amazing place for her and she has grown in her development in leaps and bounds. Although the nursery doesn't have its own garden, this hasn't affected my child much at all as the staff regularly take the children on outdoor walks and go regularly to various places nearby (such as soft play). I feel very reassured, supported and encouraged as a mum sending my child to this nursery (and my husband feels the same). What a lovely place with such wonderful people!

With my best regards.

My daughter began over a year ago, at the time I was temporarily ill with Bell's palsy which I was quite self-conscious about, however, all the nursery staff were so understanding and supportive, which was of great support for my recovery and my daughter's important settling-in period. She has gone from strength to strength at nursery, beginning in the baby room, and now in the toddler room. It has aided her development no end, the range of activities, arts, crafts and outings are wonderful and creative. Nursery makes a concerted effort to be inclusive and recognises international festivals/culture, which we love. Communication is exceptional from all staff, management, finance/head office and nursery staff with effective continuous daily updates via the app, nursery staff capture photos of activities i.e spontaneous observations, these are of great comfort to parents/carers as it's so important to be kept in the loop of everything and see your child happy. Communication re resource and maintenance updates of the building is also wonderful.

I am super happy with my daughter's progress and time spent in the nursery. She is developing better than I imagined right in front of me thanks to educators and people working there. I like the fact that she is not afraid to take initiative or ask a ton of questions while trying to figure out something. I would definitely recommend to my family or friends. Big thank you.

My daughter has attended your nursery for the past 3 years, full time. From the first day, she was welcomed by friendly, caring staff in a very nurturing environment. I was unaware of the nursery curriculum prior and have been amazed at the development of my daughter through both academic and physical activity. Thoroughly recommended.

My child has attended Abacus Ark since he turned 12 months old and he's been there for the last 8 months. It is such a fun and stimulating environment and the teachers come up with lots of creative activities to keep the children engaged and learning through play. My son really enjoys his time there and he has developed a strong bond with several of his teachers and I believe he is very well cared for and supported. My son also loves the weekly activities which include a dance class, immersive sensory music classes and soft play. He has surprised and entertained us with the dance moves he has learned at nursery several times! We are very happy we chose Abacus Ark for our son. The teachers and managers are all excellent.

The teachers and staff at Abacus are truly exceptional. They show immense love and care, and they ensure that parents are kept well-informed on a daily basis. I am now pregnant with our second and have already enrolled the baby at Abacus - that's how much we trust and appreciate the wonderful care they provide.

And it's easy to communicate with the team.

Our daughter is having a lovely time at Abacus Ark. She enjoys the activities, her teachers and little friends. Daily updates via the app give us a good idea of what happens at the nursery, which we find we'll engage in the growth of the children.

My kid is always excited to go to the nursery in the morning. I pick him up smiling and happy in the evening. He is very well-fed and loved. The activities the staff arranges for the kids are very engaging and educational. My kid is learning it all in a fun playful way. 5 stars all the way!

Thanks Abacus.

Overall, I would highly recommend Abacus Ark to any family looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their young children. It's been an absolute pleasure!

Even if they don’t have an outdoor space they can ale the opportunity to bring the children out every day. I can’t recommend it more !! 5stars

The nursery staff have made an induction to daycare for my little one really nice and in a nurturing and caring way. My child is very happy there and has shown significant progress in learning and development since joining Abacus Arch a few months ago. I recommend this nursery to all the other parents.

Our daughter has been at Abacus Ark for a year, recently transitioning from the baby room to the toddler room. The nursery is really well run in several regards - the staff are very caring and adaptive to each child’s needs, and the parent communications strike just the right balance (both in terms of feedback at the end of the day and in terms of periodic photo/video updates on the app), and the staff provided helpful advice and reassurance around our child’s move to the toddler room and other development stuff. Most importantly, our child has been very happy!

My daughter has been attending for around a year. It is a lovely nursery with really friendly and caring staff who goes the extra mile to make sure that all the little ones receive the attention they need and feel comfortable. The management are also very nice and understanding. I would highly recommend this nursery!

My child started the nursery at 13 months old and has loved it ever since. There is a great atmosphere and plenty of educational activities. They provide additional classes, such as football, music, drama and yoga.

When my son joined the baby room of Abacus Ark, Kilburn, he was about to turn 1 year old. I was still breastfeeding him and he was all about Mum. He played with peers and relatives but didn't want to eat or sleep with anyone else, not even his dad. Until he met two members of staff! With a lot of perseverance and kindness, they managed to involve him and get him used to the big change: five days at nursery, 8 am to 6 pm. Now he is 19 months old: in the morning he wakes up and hands me his own hat and coat, and points out his pram and door because he loves to go to the nursery. He is able to feed himself, clap and dance. I am a proud mum and thank the nursery’s personnel for giving me the peace of mind I need at work. I know that my baby is in safe hands. He falls sick from time to time, it’s normal, and you will get annoyed as a parent. But it’d be pretty much the same in every nursery. I wouldn’t go back and leave him with a nanny. Even the best nanny cannot compete with all activities they organise.
