Abacus Ark Nursery School Earlsfield

As Ivy's grandmother, it's been wonderful to see how much she has grown in confidence at nursery. Ivy can be quite shy and often likes to play alone, but recently she has really come out of her shell. She's talking more, getting excited to see her little friends and loves messy play, soft play and exploring outdoors. We love the daily feedback from the teachers and the app, which lets us see photos of Ivy throughout the day. There's something truly magical about seeing your grandchild growing, learning and enjoying herself. A special thank you to Lael, Rowan, Amy and Kria for their care and encouragement, and a particularly big thank you to Abbie for making such a positive difference. Seeing Ivy so happy and confident means the world to our family.

We have absolutely loved our time at Abacus so far. The staff are so caring and fun and so reactive to what you need from them. I honestly can't believe how much my daughter has come on from being there. It's also a really friendly community

Couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough!

The teachers are absolutely amazing - so kind, friendly, caring and attentive. From the very beginning, my daughter has absolutely loved it, and it's been so lovely to see how happy and settled she is there.

The soft play is an added bonus, and all the external music sessions and entertainment activities are a massive plus too. There's always something fun and exciting for the children to enjoy.

But what I love most about this nursery is that it genuinely feels like a family. You can really feel the warmth, care and personal touch of a family-run business, which is something that can be hard to come by these days.

We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery for our daughter. A huge thank you to the whole team for everything you do!

We cannot speak more highly of Abacus Ark Earlsfield it is so fantastic for our son and family. All the staff are so caring, enthusiastic and loving. Communication from them is top class and we always feel in the loop on all updates with regards to our son and the general running of the nursery. The updates on a daily basis are unbelievable and so invaluable to see lovely pictures and know how our son is getting on. The staff are so creative and there is constantly fun activities on offer which have been so well thought out and structured. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to friends and family in the area.

They really nurture independence and brave behaviours in the children.

Our daughter started at Abacus Ark 3 months ago (from another nursery setting) and she has simply thrived. Her speech has come on incredibly, her gross motor skills and confidence with things like slides are vastly improved and most importantly, she has developed such a bind with the team and runs in every morning so excited to see them and all that the day will bring. We couldn't be happier.

We have been so impressed with Abacus Ark Earlsfield. The settling in period was really thoughtfully planned and made our child feel at home from day one. All the team are so kind and communication is great. There a daily activities and outings which have really helped our child's confidence grow.

Our twin boys (age 3) have been attending Abacus Ark since January and we LOVE it! The staff are so kind and nurturing, the space is immaculate and the communication via app works really well. Our boys especially love the huge Soft Play area, walks to see the ducks and trips to the park for sports - it more than makes up for there not being outside space which I know does give some parents pause, but honestly the set up is brilliant.

We were especially pleased with the recent 'parents evening' where our boys' key worker spent well over an hour chatting with us. She had lots of great ideas for continued development and was also really open to our feedback in return.

We can't recommend it highly enough!

Lovely staff, lovely facility. They take great care of the girls, and work so hard to help them to develop language, writing, social, sports skills. They take the girls out for walks, trips, and keep them on their toes! The girls love it.

Our daughter has just joined at the nursery and we are so happy with the level of care and compassion that goes into her everyday wellbeing. She settled well and has made such special bonds with the team in her room.

Abacus is a fantastic nursery & our son loves it there - the staff are so attentive & caring - you can tell through every interaction that they genuinely have the best interest of the children at the heart of everything they do. The communication is excellent - regular & thorough updates every day on the app & quick responses to questions when we have them. 0 complaints so far - love it!

Fantastic experience. The staff are very caring and professional. They are wonderful at communicating. Our little boy is so happy and absolutely thriving. It has been great value for money and we have no complaints.

From day one, we've been consistently impressed with Abacus Ark Earlsfield. The team were wonderfully supportive during those early transition weeks-comforting our teary son at drop-off and sending us reassuring updates soon after to say he was already smiling and running around happily.

That level of care has never wavered. The staff are incredibly professional, sharing regular updates and photos throughout the day and providing thoughtful, personalised feedback at pick-up about his meals, naps, activities, and little moments that make up his day. The nursery offers fantastic activities, delicious organic meals that give us confidence he's eating well, and an environment in which our son is truly thriving.

Since joining-and now having just turned two-his speech has come on brilliantly. He talks about his teachers and friends all weekend and can't wait to return each week.

We couldn't be more delighted with the team and special thanks go to Caryn, Abbie, Sadie, Hannah, Alex and Amy.

Abacus Ark Earlsfield has exceeded our expectations. The staff are extremely caring and dedicated. They have really leaned in to the needs of our son and have been very happy to adapt to his needs. Our son has been attending the nursery since July and he is thriving. He is very happy to go each day and has made special relationships with numerous staff members who all know and care for him so well. It is so comforting to receive personal feedback daily which picks up on our son's specific character traits showing how well they know him. The photos and app updates are a great way of keeping up to date and any msg we send the nursery is responded to very quickly. We couldn't recommend the nursery enough

An amazing nursery, our toddler has come on massively since she started and we're so impressed. The staff are so caring and attentive, there are constant activities and outdoor time, as well as music classes and organic food daily. Your are guided through the onboarding period with updates and extra pics that really ease your mind as parent. Your child is in the best possible care at AA Earlsfield.

Our son has been at Abacus since April 2024 and we have kept highly recommending the nursery to other parents. We initially started at Clapham and did the opening at Earlsfield as we were convinced we wanted our son to stay with the Abacus staff.

As expat parents with little support, Abacus is incredibly important to us. We actually trust them more than anyone else to take care of our son and can see everyday how Abacus help him thrive.

There is a true sense of care and efficient communication with parents. For example, the team has been amazing at supporting us with potty training. Similarly, there were happy to adjust anytime our breastfeeding journey evolved. We are now at a time where we truly value the effort put in offering diverse and developmentally appropriate activities.

My daughter has been going to Abacus Ark for the last 3 months, and has settled in very well, thanks to the caring and supportive staff. She absolutely loves it, and is really excelling there.

The staff are so kind and seem to genuinely love their jobs. They make such an effort to know every childs' little personality. They give a lovely rundown of their day at pick-up

The rooms are very big and get lots of daylight. They have great activities for the children - sensory baby and development classes, Music classes and they go on at least one outing daily.

We couldn't be happier with Abacus Ark and are so happy to have found such a nurturing and loving setting.

We are over the moon that our daughter attends nursery here. Everyone who works there is absolutely wonderful and clearly cares so much for the children. Our daughter took a little while to settle but they were so patient and gave her lots of cuddles and support to help her through. She now jumps out of my arms to get in there. They put alot of thought to the structure of the day and what the babies can learn, as well as things like trips out and music classes.

My daughter has attended the nursery since its opening in February 2025. She absolutely loves it there - adores all the staff and has a fabulous time with all the activities and the outings they take them on. I've noticed a huge improvement in her developmentally since joining : both physically and verbally and she seems to be excelling whilst there.

The staff make an effort to regularly update parents on the activities via the app and also provide you with a detailed run down of their day at pick up.

Whilst there's no outside space, the rooms are very spacious and the children go on at least one outing daily. The food on offer is also great - very varied and nutritious. Staff and management are also always happy to receive feedback or suggestions and implement any requested change quickly.

Overall we are thrilled our daughter attends Abacus Ark.

We absolutely love Abacus Ark! Our son has been going for 4 months now and has the best time. It's clear that he's so well looked after and cared for, and the staff are amazing and super communicative. His key teacher always goes the extra mile and is such a warm and friendly person who lights up my day every time I see her. She is a superstar!

As a nursery they seem very well organised. It's clear a lot of love and care goes into planning the activities each week and we always receive lovely updates and photos of what they've been up to. I was initially worried about the lack of outside space but they do a big outing each day which means they're able to explore a lot more (vs a lot of nurseries that have tiny outdoor spaces and rarely go out).

I couldn't have asked for a better nursery experience for my son and would recommend this nursery to anyone.
