Abacus Ark Wandsworth is a warm and inspiring day nursery providing high-quality childcare and early education for children aged 6 months to 5 years within the tranquil Riverside Quarter.
With beautifully designed learning spaces and a caring, experienced team, the nursery provides a safe, nurturing, and homely environment where children are encouraged to explore, grow, and thrive. Strong partnerships with families and a carefully planned settling-in process help children feel secure and confident from the very beginning. Government-funded childcare options are available for eligible families, supporting working parents.
The nursery follows a blended pedagogy approach, combining elements of the Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies within the EYFS framework. This child-centred approach promotes independence, creativity, curiosity, and hands-on learning through meaningful play, exploration, and nurturing relationships.
The Abacus Ark FIRST Steps Curriculum supports the development of focus, independence, resilience, social understanding, and trustworthiness. Daily activities are planned around children’s interests, encouraging confidence, creativity, and a love for learning while preparing children for school.
The nursery offers a largely all-inclusive experience, with fees covering enriching learning opportunities, extracurricular activities, nappies, wipes, and essential daily care items.
All meals and snacks are provided daily. Children are offered breakfast each morning alongside two healthy snacks throughout the day. Lunch and tea are freshly prepared each day by food partners, Lune & Wild.
Children benefit from daily access to an on-site soft play area and regular visits to nearby Wandsworth Park, supporting physical development, outdoor exploration, and active learning experiences.

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 50 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
This nursery applies up to 8 funded hours per day, stretched across 50 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.8 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.

We can't recommend Abacus Ark enough! They have made our son's transition to nursery life so easy, and he is so happy and thriving there. All of the staff members are incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming-you can truly tell how much they care about the children. So much thought and creativity goes into the daily activities they put on, and we love the really detailed updates we receive about what he gets up to each day. A special thanks to Miss Charlotte and Miss Skye who have been amazing.

Our daughter has been at Abakus Ark Wandsworth since she was 11 months old, and she is now about to turn three.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found this nursery. Over the last two years, our daughter has developed so much, and the range and quality of activities they provide has been outstanding. The staff are exceptional: kind, caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. You can really see that they care deeply about each child.
For us, Abakus Ark has felt like a second home. It has exactly the warm, nurturing, home-from-home environment you would wish for your child at such an important stage of their life.
The management has also been amazing throughout: supportive, professional, and always approachable. We have nothing but good things to say about the nursery and would highly recommend it to any parent!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at the Abacus Ark Wandsworth nursery. Since starting, our daughter has had the most wonderful time - each day is filled with a wide variety of engaging, stimulating activities that have clearly supported her development and confidence.
What stands out most is how happy and settled she is. She goes in each morning with a smile and comes home just as content, which gives us such reassurance as parents.
The team are truly exceptional - warm, caring, and incredibly attentive. They keep us well informed about her day and progress, and it's clear how much genuine care they have for every child.
We feel very fortunate to be part of such a nurturing and inspiring environment, and we would wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to other families.

Our daughter started in the baby room and quickly and confidently found her feet, with the support, nurture and creativity of the staff team.
We appreciated the dedication to her individual needs, and found the feedback on her development really encouraging and insightful.
There's a wonderful team and family feel to the nursery especially with the Room Reps, instant messaging groups, and regular socials for the family. This promoted a great sense of belonging and contributing to the health of the nursery. The senior leadership- Owners and Managers were all super approachable, available and hands-on, demonstrating a genuine commitment to the children in their care.
We left after 15 months because we moved out of the area. Finding a new nursery was the biggest challenge due to having had such an excellent experience at Abacus!

My experience with this nursery couldn't be better. The staff are friendly, attentive, and caring, and my daughter has formed lovely bonds with her teachers. The facilities are well maintained, including a new soft play area available to families on certain times. They introduced a curriculum focused on strong values and effective learning, encouraging children to explore and grow. An app keeps parents updated with photos, incidents, and development reports. The catering service was recently improved to offer a healthier, well-balanced menu. The transition was handled thoughtfully, with events for parents, feedback sessions, and menu adjustments based on what children enjoyed. The nursery also organises charity events, showing real community spirit. Communication is excellent-management keeps parents informed and responds to concerns.
With opening hours from 8am to 6pm, it's ideal for many families. Overall, the nursery is well managed, structured, and committed to high-quality care.

We've had a wonderful experience with Abacus Ark Nursery School in Wandsworth since our son started at 8 months old. The entire team made the transition smooth and reassuring for both us and our child. Every staff member is warm, patient, and genuinely passionate about early childhood care. The nursery offers a rich variety of age-appropriate activities that support learning, creativity, and social development. Our son has thrived in this nurturing environment, gaining confidence, curiosity, and independence. Communication is excellent-staff regularly share updates, insights, and sweet moments from his day. We especially value the inclusive approach, including the use of multiple languages like Spanish, which has enhanced his early language skills. The nursery is not only safe and well-organised but also full of love, laughter, and learning. We feel so lucky to have had Abacus Ark Nursery School in Wandsworth as our son's first learning environment and recommend it wholeheartedly.

My daughter started in Abacus Ark when she was 10 months old and she settled quickly and well in baby room. The staff are friendly, hardworking and patience with the children. They have created a lovely home environment in the nursery, where I know my daughter is safe. Parents are welcome and nursery organise special activities for both such as Mother's day, Easter, Father's Day or a trip to the zoo in Battersea. My daughter is happy and engaging with activities where they support her to develop some of her milestones and makes her first steps into independence. There are good communication with parents via their app with information about her routine as well as photos updated every single day. The nursery offer extra curricular activities to the children providing a range of learning opportunities such as Music, Drama or Hartbeeps (multisensory and musical classes) and my daughter love it. Thank you so much for everything you do to stimulate her learning!

To the points other parents have made in their reviews, I can only add that the staff almost become a part of our families, such strong is the connection they establish with not just the kids, but also their parents. We will really miss them when our son moves to school this September. Sincere thanks for all that you have done for us and our little ones!

I have just wonderful words to spend for the nursery and staff. I saw my daughter growing up and improve day by day since she was 7months old until now that she is 3y, thanks to them. Great knowledge and empathy is what makes this nursery fantastic!

We have been parents at Abacus Ark for over five years and we couldn't be more grateful to have found this amazing nursery and community for our family. We started in the baby room pre-Covid so in some ways it feels like a lifetime! The staff have always been so lovely - some of whom we've known this whole time. While we moved to the other side of Putney a few years ago, we continued to send both of our children to Abacus Ark as there is nowhere else that is as nurturing and offers so many extracurricular activities to enrich their learning. They also do a great job a creating a community within the nursery with weekend social events for parents to meet and children to play with their friends.
Our kids have grown into confident, happy little people and we will forever be grateful for the love and care they received at Abacus Ark and how well they've been prepared for school.

Overall Experience
Abacus Ark (Wandsworth) is an all-around great nursery, we have both children attending now. Our eldest will be leaving next year and will be very sad to go. The staff are great, the activities are fun and engaging, and there are lots of outdoor outings! I would highly recommend.

My two daughters attend Abacus Ark Wandsworth and both love it. Our eldest has been with them since she was a baby and I couldn't be happier with the nursery. She goes in every day with a beaming smile on her face! The staff are all so wonderful, committed, and kind, they care for the kids they look after! The nursery listens to the parents and goes above and beyond helping to support the children's developmental needs. They offer lots of extracurricular activities included in the price and plan their weeks so that learning is focused, varied, and engaging. My youngest has a condition and they went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with her care plan and even took on extra staff training to make sure she had the safest and most supportive care possible. She's already developing so much since attending! I highly recommend the nursery and will be sad once we leave.

I'm so glad with this amazing place. Staff are wonderful, professional and very friendly. Nursery manager informs us of any news. My son started the nursery at one year old and he is now in preschool. He loves to come to the nursery each day and is learning new things. Two weeks ago he came home with a new song in Spanish that he learned in the nursery and we sang together on our way to the nursery.
Nursery has plenty of extracurricular activities each day such as music, forest school, play ball, drama and yoga. Last week they had a trip to a botanical garden where they invited parents and it was a great experience to see them in action. Abacus Ark was the best option.

Abacus Ark: the best choice for our family. We couldn't be happier with our experience at Abacus Ark. Both of our children have thrived there since they were 1 year old. What sets Abacus Ark apart: -Amazing teachers: the staff are exceptional. They're not only dedicated and caring, but they're also incredibly creative and fun. Our children absolutely love them! -Fantastic extracurricular activities: the variety of extracurricular activities is impressive. Our kids are exposed to everything from music and art to sports, languages and forest school. -Multilingual environment: we love that they foster a multilingual environment. It's been so beneficial for our children's language development. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, and the communication with parents is excellent. We always feel well-informed about our children's progress and daily activities.
If you're looking for a nurturing, engaging, and enriching nursery, I wholeheartedly recommend Abacus Ark.
