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!
Creating a warm, nurturing,...
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.
It truly means a lot to hear how happy and settled your daughter is at our Wandsworth nursery - that sense of comfort and joy each day is exactly what we strive to create for every child. We're so pleased that she's enjoying...
My son has been attending the nursery for almost two years, and throughout this time we have never had any issues. He is very happy there, and the daily activities organised for the children are excellent. Soon he will be moving on to Reception, so we will truly miss the nursery.
We're so happy to hear that your son has enjoyed his time at the nursery and that you've felt supported throughout the past two years. Creating a warm, engaging environment where children can thrive is exactly what we strive for...
We're also very impressed with the variety of activities provided and the quality of the food. Communication is excellent; we always feel well-informed about his day and his progress. It's such a comfort knowing he is in safe, ccapable hands!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're absolutely delighted to hear how well your son has settled, creating a warm, nurturing environment is so important to us.

The Abacus Ark Team
Our experience with Abacus Ark Wandsworth for the last 3 years (with more than one child and going through all ages/rooms) has been amazing. Staff is dedicated to providing the children with environments and activities that foster their development and curiosity. They also work with parents as partners in care and have great communication. My children always have a great day filled with fun and are eager to go back to nursery.

My youngest is still at the nursery and enjoying it just as much as her sister.
Staff are incredibly caring and management is competent, professional and highly communicative. We had dietary requirements and they were accommodated very well. We would highly recommend Abacus Ark.

We're so happy to hear your eldest felt well prepared for school both academically and socially, and that her transition was seamless, that's exactly what we aim for. It also means so much to...
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!
We're so pleased to hear how confidently your daughter settled into our baby room and that the care, creativity and individual support from the team made such a positive difference to her development. Creating a nurturing environment and...
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.

I am very happy I chose Abacus Ark for my child 2 years ago. Staff is professional, friendly and so creative. My kid is very stimulated and has learned so much. There are many initiatives to involve parents as well and there is a lovely softplay area that can be also hired for events. The fees are also fair. We are so satisfied that we chose to stay with Abacus even after moving slightly farer from the area. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a safe and nurturing nursery!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're so pleased to hear that your child continues to thrive with us and that our team's professionalism, friendliness and creativity have made a real difference. It's wonderful to know that the learning environment, family involvement and...
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.

Over her time here, she has grown in confidence, made lovely friendships, and discovered a real love for learning and exploring.
The nursery has always felt warm, welcoming, and safe, and we've been kept informed and involved every step of the way. As she moves on to primary school, we know she is ready for this next stage because of the brilliant foundation she's had here. We couldn't have asked for a better start to her early years

Knowing she feels ready for primary school is the best feedback we could receive....
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!
Thank you so much for sharing such a lovely review. Its been a joy to watch your daughter grow and flourish since her very first days in the baby room. Were so pleased to hear she feels happy, safe, and engaged in her time with us. Our team works hard to create a warm, home-from-home environment,...
I concur with the many other positive reviews for this wonderful nursery. Our son has been there for 3 years and we've had the most wonderful time at AA. 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!
Thank you for your kind words and for being part of the Abacus Ark family over the past three years. Its been a joy to watch your son grow, and were so glad our team made a lasting connection with your family. Well miss you and wish you all the best as he starts school!Warm wishes,The Abacus Ark Team
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!
Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. It truly means the world to our team to hear how much youve valued your daughters journey with us from such a young age. Watching her grow and flourish into the confident little person she is today has been a joy and a privilege.Were especially...
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.
Dear Megan,Thank you so much for your beautiful words and for being part of the Abacus Ark family for over five years-it's been an absolute privilege to be a part of your children's early years.It means the world to us that, even after moving across Putney, you chose to stay with Abacus Ark.

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.
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.
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.
We couldn't be happier with Abacus Ark. Our daughter started at 12 months and is now thriving at 20 months. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive to her health needs, and always goes the extra mile. Communication is excellent with almost instant updates of everything they do, what she is eating, sleeping etc. She loves the activities, the multilingual environment, and we love the peace of mind knowing she's in such good hands.
