Abacus Ark Maida Vale is a nurturing nursery for children aged 10 months to 5 years, set in the heart of Kilburn High Road. The nursery provides a calm, welcoming atmosphere where every child is encouraged to learn, express, and grow at their own pace.

Drawing inspiration from both the Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies, the setting places great importance on enabling environments—beautiful, engaging spaces that promote independence, creativity, and meaningful exploration. Children are seen as capable learners, supported to take the lead in their development through hands-on, purposeful play.

Central to the approach is the Abacus Ark FIRST Curriculum, which nurtures each child’s development in five key areas:
Focus, Independence, Resilience, Social understanding, and Trustworthiness. Through carefully planned experiences, consistent routines, and strong emotional support, children develop the confidence and skills needed not just for school—but for life.

With a dedicated team, inspiring spaces, and close family partnerships, Maida Vale offers a thoughtful and enriching early years journey.

With thoughtfully designed spaces, engaging activities, and a dedicated team, Maida Vale provides a meaningful and confident start to each child’s early years journey.

We are delighted with the Abacus - the team and the service they provide. Our son has thrived there since joining, and the staff have been incredible. They are friendly and professional and clearly care for the kids. They keep us up to date with lots of photos and videos of what the kids get up to and
fill their days with a good balance of familiar routines and new experiences. They're very creative in how they design activities, and the music and drama classes are a particular hit with our little man! It's a huge source of support to us knowing our son is safe, happy and growing with Abacus.

We love Abacus Ark Nursery! The staff are amazing - they make my daughter feel so welcome and loved and it's fascinating to see how much she copies her teacher - from their manner to their dressing style! The nursery managers are also brilliant - from managing the return from covid restrictions to resource
planning as children and staff were initially falling ill more often. The admin department is really humane too. We feel like we get heard individually even though they are a part of a chain of nurseries! So glad we go to Abacus Ark at Maida Vale. Highly recommend it!

We have absolutely loved our experience at Abacus Ark. It has been a caring, supportive, and stimulating environment for our child. We appreciate the variety of activities: books, legos, tuff table, painting; trips to the garden or soft play; drama and music teachers. As parents, we found communication
easy and helpful (through the app, email, and in-person meetings), and we loved the flexibility of the "core day" schedule option. Most of all, we've been so impressed by the attentiveness of the teachers. Our child's needs changed over time: at the start, he was anxious to be away from home, and they gave plenty of extra 1-on-1 attention. Later, they knew how to help him gain more confidence and independence. Most recently, as his verbal skills developed, they made sure to facilitate time with the older toddlers, enabling him to form some very close friendships. Our child has thrived at Abacus, and I cannot say enough good things about it.

We have always loved this nursery since our first child joined. They are caring and attentive. The activities are well planned and each day they employ an outside teacher to come in and do something specific with the children such as yoga, music, dance, and football. They also celebrate all faiths and
occasions in equal measure which the children thoroughly enjoy. Also, they teach the children in line with the early years guidelines. My children were always very happy there and I have always been very happy with Abacus Ark. There is no outdoor space at the nursery but every day the children are taken on an outing for a walk or to their local ‘garden’ not far away. This is a pleasant change of scene for the children and in my view a bonus. I would highly recommend this nursery, preschool and the staff there as my experience has been so good! They also take part in a Forest School once a week. The food is fantastic too. Thank you, Abacus Ark!

Both my son, and daughter previously, have been to Abacus Ark Nursery School and we have always been extremely happy. The staff are kind and caring towards the children and our little ones have always said how much they enjoy going. Both children have made great progress here and have had a tremendous
headstart for reception. The nursery is flexible to parents, we always pick up early and it’s never an issue and they proved through Covid that they understood our needs by reducing fees and still providing online classes and the option of purchasing food. I would (and have) recommended Abacus Ark to any parent who is looking for a nurturing nursery and preschool, I feel safe with my children in their hands.

My daughter's first steps into the nursery from day one of settling and beyond to current - all went well with her transitioning to this current day. Her very own journey, progress learning speech, behaviour and general learning and development, through her interaction with the other children and making
friends, and nursery staff my daughter always mentions names of all, (she’s so happy), as are we her parents in knowing also that she is daily in a safe environment. The activity, she enjoys the walks to the park or on the bus and daily play and not forgetting the breakfast lunch, and snacks throughout. She loves the music, drama, and to sing a song along with all, the yoga classes and football. The reporting log system that is in place for Mummy and Daddy (we much enjoy) alongside the photos of my daughter's steps throughout to keep up to date on all. A big special thank you to all the staff who works endlessly to ensure that everything is set for the children, your kindly ways love, and patience.

Abacus Ark Nursery School is a good choice for a working mother. The teachers are very lovely and kind. The team react to parents' queries quickly. Children can stay here for a long time during the daytime and the nursery never closes for a long time. Everything is very good except it would be good
if my toddler's nappy could be changed more frequently. My child will be 3 years old, an age at which other children might know how to use the potty before he knows it. It would be good to change his nappy more frequently.

My nephew has been attending Abacus Ark since July 2020, and has come on leaps and bounds. He always looks forward to nursery school and has learnt incredibly fast since starting. Staff are incredibly friendly, who are always willing to go the extra mile, I feel completely included in his learning journey

All the teachers at Abacus Ark understand my son’s personality very well, so my son really enjoys going to the nursery. They set various dairy activities for the babies to learn such as dance class and drama class, which is nice. It’s enjoyable to see my son’s pictures and videos via an app. Overall,
we are very happy with all the teachers' support.

My daughter has progressed so much in the last year and that’s thanks to the staff at Abacus Ark. Initially sending my daughter I was quite apprehensive being the first time I’ve left her anywhere without being present, but seeing how much she enjoyed her first few days was so reassuring. The staff
always keep you updated with the progress of your child whether this is face to face, parents' evenings, or via the online learning journal. They have so much to offer in terms of the facilities/activities they provide for the children and helping to build their confidence along the way. The children also have classes based on different cultures/religious festivals across the year. My daughter is currently at the potty training stage but with the help and guidance from the teachers within 2 weeks she's confidently using the potty without being told to use it. I would definitely recommend Abacus Ark!

Our daughter has been at Abacus Ark Maida Vale since September 21, following a very sudden closing of our previous nursery. We were very anxious about how our daughter would deal with the change, but she has thoroughly enjoyed every second and that is all down to her amazing teachers. We are regularly
updated on the daily activities, there are parent evenings and most importantly, I feel that the team genuinely care about the children and are invested in them. It's a shame we didn't find Abacus earlier but I'm so glad we are with them now!

Abacus Ark is an absolute godsend. I'm generally not a person to post reviews unless I've had an extremely bad or great experience. I'm glad this review refers to the latter. We were referred to the nursery via a friend and my son has attended the nursery from 2 yrs old and is now turning 4. From the
very start, the nursery has been great. My son had been living abroad in his early months and coming back to the UK and settling into a new country and language was a massive challenge. But this was massively helped by the support and care of Abacus Ark Maida Vale. Their support, interaction, and communication has been consistently really good and helped my son to flourish into the young happy, capable boy he is today. Thank you very much Abacus Ark Maida Vale.

My daughter started at Abacus Ark at 14 mo. I visited many nurseries in the area but immediately felt Abacus Ark was the right fit after my introduction meeting when I felt the sense of a nurturing, happy and safe environment. I am glad that I trusted my instinct because the nursery has exceeded my
expectations. Our daughter adores the teachers and is always excited to attend. The staff are incredible and professional – from the teachers who are extremely kind, loving, fun, and thoughtful to the manager who quickly responds to any questions/concerns of mine and keeps parents well informed. The children go on daily outings to the nearby church gardens or park, participate in a variety of classes (drama, music, dancing) and arts and crafts. We enjoy seeing the daily updates on the nursery’s mobile app. We have seen our daughter become more confident and independent the past few months. Her communication, social and imagination skills have significantly improved and overall, she is happy!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started going to Abacus at 3.5 years old after we moved from Spain - during a pandemic. He did not speak a word of English, had no friends for months because of the circumstances. He changed from day 1, became much happier, singing and sharing all his learnings. 2 members of staff, in particular,
were super kind to him, making lots of efforts to make sure he understood and to understand him. He progressed quickly thanks to the happy and dedicated teachers, he made friends and became fluent enough so that when he started school 8 months after it was really fluid and easy for him; it was a perfect step for him to transition to big school. My daughter started at 14 months in. The baby room and all the teachers made sure she was nurtured and cuddled since the beginning, so now that she speaks, she lists all of them with a big smile, and she runs to them when we arrive. She does fun things, learns a lot, and is just happy to go.

My daughter started nursery when she turned 2. She settled in very quickly, which came as a surprise as she was not used to new people (covid not helping). The lovely team members did an amazing job at making her feel comfortable. All of them are really excellent, warm and professional, which is the
most important thing to me. The nursery itself is not the most spacious one but very well organised and equipped. I highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son joined this nursery when he was 2 years and 2 months old. He just finished as from 2nd of September he joins reception in a nearby school. I can't say any bad word about this nursery to be honest. My son was happy there and loved his teachers extremely. The nursery is very clean, brand new inside,
the food was healthy, there were no sweets which I think is good too. When I left my son on daily basis I could feel safe and without any worries that I left him there. He was there on full-time from 8 - 4.30 so it was a long day for such a small kid. What I most like is my son became so cultural and polite. I do know that it is work partly from his teachers. Whenever we talk about some sentences he said, 'I know mummy Miss told me this'. He always mentions them.
Whenever we are getting off the bus he said loudly, 'thank you, driver', etc. They did a wonderful job as teachers and I highly recommend this place for your kids. I was also told about this nursery by a friend.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.912)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.912) out of 10 for Abacus Ark Nursery School Maida Vale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.912 for Abacus Ark Nursery School Maida Vale is calculated as follows: ( (219 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.912
  2. 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 Abacus Ark Nursery School Maida Vale is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
