A Thoughtful Start in a Loving Environment

Abacus Ark Clapham Junction is a nurturing nursery for children aged 6 months to 5 years, thoughtfully designed to support every stage of early development—from a baby’s very first steps to a confident preschooler ready for school. The nursery is led by an experienced and dedicated Nursery Manager, who personally oversees the baby room to ensure a calm, caring space where the youngest children are gently supported. The leader of the preschool room provides a rich, purposeful learning environment that helps older children gain independence, confidence, and school readiness.

Central to the nursery’s approach is the Abacus Ark First Steps Curriculum, which stands for Focus, Independence, Resilience, Social understanding, and Trustworthiness - a bespoke, child-led programme built around the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), emotional wellbeing, and hands-on discovery. Whether it’s through sensory exploration, storytelling, early literacy, or outdoor adventures, the curriculum nurtures each child’s interests, abilities, and unique personality.

Just 10 minutes from Clapham Junction station, the nursery offers a warm, home-like environment where every child is known, celebrated, and supported. Strong routines, secure attachments, and close partnerships with parents ensure a consistent, loving experience throughout their early years.

At Clapham Junction, children don’t just learn—they flourish.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I moved my daughter from another local nursery to Abacus Ark and it was the best decision I've made. I've seen what bad looks like in a nursery so can confidently say that Abacus is excellent on every level.


What makes it so special is undoubtedly the staff who create such a warm and nurturing environment.

You really feel how invested they are in all of the children and their development. And the children love them back. My daughter is always talking about her teachers and can't wait to get back to Abacus when we go on holiday. There's also complete consistency and stability in the staffing which you often don't get at other nurseries which is all credit to the management and the way they look after their staff. The facilities, activities and everything else are also top notch. I particularly like how they focus on the children's emotional skills and interacting with each other (there's a wonderful camaraderie in my daughter's class).


Very highly recommended

We had a wonderful experience with Abacus Ark! It's an excellent nursery with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's well-being and development. Our son was always happy to go in each day, and we felt confident knowing he was
in such good hands. The environment is positive, nurturing, and supportive-everything you would hope for in early years care. Highly recommended!

Abacus Ark was recommended to me by a friend and it's been wonderful.


Crucially, Abacus Ark teachers genuinely love the children, taking an interest in their development even outside of nursery, giving parents detailed accounts of their children's days, working with parents on aspects that their

children may struggle with.


A variety of activities are provided, from forest school to music classes, and parents are invited to teach the children to cook, talk about their professions, or read to the children.


The room themes change periodically, with content and decorations immersing the children in different topics, so that they get a richer experience that extends beyond mere childcare.


The nursery also took on the alphabet, numbers, writing, and bottom-wiping (yay!) with my child, taking some of the weight off us.


They could have more staff, as I noted that some best practices couldn't consistently be observed with so many children, but the care is great overall and I'm happy.

I cannot praise Abacus Ark enough, the teachers, each and every one are kind, passionate, gentle and enthusiastic!
They're forever creating imaginative play and learning schedules and my child has come on more than we could have ever hoped!
The food is nutritious and I never worry about his eating
and the teachers are always encouraging my child to take next developmental steps such as eating with utensils, sleeping without a bottle, sharing and so much more.
I honestly don't think there is a better nursery out there! The teachers are all walking angels.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Abacus Ark. My eldest has nearly completed it and my youngest has recently started in the baby room. The teachers are wonderful, the environment and support is fantastic - my daughter has made life long friends and i've never had an issue. The kids go
in smiling and come skipping and jumping out. The extra curricular activities on offer is brilliant and we love the fact that they go out on trips - a very rounded and enjoyable start to their education.

We have had a really good experience with Abacus ark. We moved from abroad at the start of last year, and our son who didn't really speak or understood any English joined the pre-school of Abacus Ark. The staff has been really amazing to help him feel welcome and it took him just a few weeks to already
feel at ease with his new friends and teacher. We were also very happy and impressed with the quality of the education provided throughout the years with a lot of very fun activities. Our daughter is also on the baby site of the nursery. So overall very positive ans I would highly recommend this nursery.

My son started at Abacus Ark at 10 months old, and now at 4 years old, I can confidently say it's been an exceptional journey. The growth in his confidence and development has been remarkable, thanks to the amazing team of teachers, some of whom will remain in his memory forever. Abacus Ark provides
a wide range of fantastic activities, such as drama, forest days, music, play ball, and yoga, all tailored to support preschoolers' growth. I was also honoured to serve as the Voice of the Room, witnessing the dedication and care the staff put into creating a nurturing environment. Everyone at Abacus Ark is incredibly helpful, and the management team ensures everything runs smoothly. I'm so grateful for the positive impact this nursery has had on my son, and I highly recommend Abacus Ark to any parent looking for a nurturing, growth-focused environment.

Abacus Ark is a really lovely family nursery. We have a 4YO and 2YO working their way from the nursery site up to preschool and over the 2.5 years we have been here it has been very happy. Consistency and stable staff/management, varied activities and diet was very important to us and Abacus ticks all
these boxes. Our eldest appears to be feeling confident emotionally and well prepared for her move to reception in the summer which is wonderful and something I'm very grateful to the whole preschool team for.

We couldn't be happier with our son's experience at the nursery. From the very first day, the team made us feel confident and at ease, and the care and dedication they show every day is truly exceptional. My son has absolutely flourished since starting - it's been a joy to watch him come out of his
shell, and his development over the past few months has been remarkable.
His primary carer has been nothing short of wonderful. She shows such kindness, patience, and understanding, and it's clear how much my son adores her. She's helped him grow in confidence and independence while always making him feel safe and loved. His language has really come on, he's learning new things constantly, and he's excited to go in every day - which says everything.
A huge thank you as well to the nursery manager, whose warmth, professionalism, and leadership create such a nurturing and well-run environment. We're incredibly grateful to have found this nursery and feel so lucky that my son is here.

I love the extra-curricular activities: Forest School, Playball, Drama and dance. It is a family-run business.
We are thrilled with the healthy menu, which excludes sugary items, unlike most nurseries and schools. This has had a positive impact on our child's. They created a second family. We will miss going there when she starts reception.

My son spent three wonderful years at Abacus Ark, and I cannot praise the staff highly enough. They are incredibly caring, thoughtful, and attentive to every detail of each child's development. Thanks to their dedication, my son is now fully prepared to start school this September.
He has developed
all the essential skills: he's independent, confident, knows his letters and numbers, listens well to teachers, and is kind and caring toward others. Most importantly, he absolutely loves going to Abacus Ark and is always excited to talk about the wide range of activities they do there.
The staff create engaging, purposeful activities that nurture every aspect of a child's development - from brushing teeth and using the toilet properly, to building fine motor skills, encouraging creativity, and sparking imagination.
We're so grateful for the positive, supportive environment they've created. I wholeheartedly recommend Abacus Ark to any parent looking for a nurturing start for their child

My son is in the preschool site at Abacus Ark, and we absolutely love it there! He is growing in confidence every day, and has a great relationship with his teachers and his classmates.
I feel confident he is being stimulated and stretched in his learning, with activity plans outlined to give us a
sense of what he'll be developing or enjoying each day, and also detailed reports provided 3x a year by his key teacher to explain how he is progressing in key areas like language, maths, social skills, physical development etc.
My son also loves the classes where external specialists come in, such as music, drama and Playball.
Frequent outings in the local area are also brilliant, as it allows my son to explore and interact with the local community. And means he's getting out and about doing more adventurous things.
He also loves "messy play" which they do every week. So much art, craft and creativity too.
Overall, we can't fault it, and couldn't be happier with our choice!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.948)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.948) out of 10 for Abacus Ark Nursery School Clapham 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.948 for Abacus Ark Nursery School Clapham is calculated as follows: ( (240 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.948
  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 Clapham is based on 21 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 95 number of registered child places is 19, which has been reached with 21 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.
