When we moved to the area our main objective was to find the perfect nursery for our boy. We visited many but Abbeymore stood out and we felt right at Home. Settling in was hard but but the ladies did everything to make sure our boy ( and mommy and daddy) were happy. My son eats lovely meals, has fun in the garden and does awesome activities. He has learnt so much already. I feel confident and happy dropping my boy off in the morning knowing he is in safe hands. Thank you to Maria and all the lovely ladies that take care of our boy each day !

My son transferred to Abbeymore a few months ago, following us moving house and relocating from another nursery. We're really pleased with Abbeymore. Our son has settled in well, enjoys the activities and loves the garden time, especially the pre-school garden which is a good size. This week he has made some pizza at nursery and loved it! Staff are friendly and he has made good relationships with several of the staff.

Great experience with the nursery, excellent empathic staff, good facilities (well maintained too), very approachable and helpful. Overall really happy. A note the food is also good, varied and nutritious - Peeta. I saw a positive.change in my child's demeanor and willingness to go to nursery when he moved to preschool, showing the staff works wonders supporting the children with the room changes and adapting the activities to a new stage.

I have been happy with the nursery as my child is well settled now and everyone in the team is very caring and loving. Also the activities designed have helped my child with her development and readiness for school

Abbeymore is a brilliant place for babies and toddlers under the school age, our son has been there for around a year now and we are throughly pleased by all the staff, activities and care. The nursery has amazing facilities and prides itself on great learning development through play. The outdoor place is far larger than the surrounding nurseries we saw. Staff make the experience great they have genuine connections and care for the children. They will go over and above to ensure everything is right. The app is always updated with photos and progress and the teachers always give a handover at the end of the day.

Sometimes the app filled in for the day does not reflect what my son ate for the day and when I collect him to ask about what he ate for lunch as it was not record. The staff cannot tell me. Overall my child seems to love nursery and is happy there. He goes running in. He has developed a bond with one staff in particular.
08 July 2025
We couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are warm, attentive, and truly care about each child's development. Our little one is always excited to go and comes home happy and full of stories. A nurturing, safe, and fun environment - highly recommend!

Both of our children have been / are very happy at Abbeymore. The facilities are excellent but it is the staff that make it so special and my children have created forever bonds with the people that they have spent time with there. As a full time working parent it is a really important to me to know that my children are in safe hands with people who care for them. We have found that at Abbeymore.

Wow! Abbeymore is outstanding. Aesthetically & from the hearts of all who work there. My daughter has just completed her settling in period and as a parent, I cannot rate this nursery highly enough. We have transferred from another BH nursery due to a relocation and I'm so pleased we found Abbeymore. Management have been nothing but supportive, kind, understanding and approachable. Room staff have been outstanding and always keep you updated with pictures and feedback - so reassuring! The children seem very happy. They have ample space to play and a huge garden that they can access at all times. The activities they undertake make me want to join in too! I have absolutely no doubt that my daughter is in the best of hands. Drop offs still remain a little upsetting but 5 mins into her day there, she's happy and tells me so much of her day upon pickup. I feel sad that this wasn't her nursery from when she first started. Highly recommend. And that's coming from a 'particular mum'.

My daughter has been attending the Abbeymore Nursery for over a year. We are impressed with the different kinds of activities that our child engages in. We get regular, detailed feedback on her cognitive and social skill development which we really like. I would recommend this nursery to others!

Would highly recommend Abbeymore Day nursery. The management team went above and beyond to ensure our daughter was fully settled in before starting at the nursery. The nursery is bright, clean and spacious and very well organised. Both the key staff members assigned to our daughter were exceptional and very easy and lovely to speak with. One member of staff, in particular, goes out of her way to ensure our child's needs are met and always assures us by providing additional information when required. The management team are also very hands on in the rooms interacting and taking care of the children.

Joined Abbeymore in September 2024. The place looks amazing, feels like my child is at home - very cosy and warm with positive vibes. No feel of being at an institution. Lots of indoor/outdoor activities and great hygiene. I always find my child happy and with the same energy as I left him in the morning and this is a good indication for me that Abbeymore is doing a wonderful job. In addition the fact that Abbeymore is open till 6:30pm, it takes away the stress of pick up by 6pm. Sometimes traffic can be bad and knowing that 30 minutes extra is there it makes a big difference. Am super happy to have found Abbeymore for my child. Thank you Abbeymore, for all your wonder efforts in my child's development and great experience growing up.

The manager and the team have really brought new life and energy to Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool. The girls in Lillies are wonderful - so caring, calm and patient with the children and my son has such a wonderful week. I also love following what he's doing on the app - the photos of his day always make mine better!

We have had a good experience with Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool. My child is transitioning to a new room and that came with some challenges. I was able to arrange a meeting with the necessary staff to help with this transition and to make it as smooth as possible.
13 November 2024
I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough! From the moment I enrolled my daughter, I felt confident that she was in good hands. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive, always going above and beyond to ensure that every child feels safe and loved. Every time I drop off my daughter, I see her smiling and excited to be there which reassures me that she is happy and thriving. I am so grateful for the nurturing environment they provide. If you are looking for a caring and supportive nursery, this is the place to be!

Both our sons are currently at Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool: one in preschool now having joined at 7 months old and one in the baby room who is 15 months old. We have had a brilliant experience with the nursery. The team go above and beyond for the children and our boys have great relationships with their key workers and other adults. The nursery regularly hosts events for parents to attend - which has been lovely to see the daily experience offered at nursery and chat to staff and other parents. Over the last couple of years, we've seen huge changes in the environment and it offers a calm space with plenty to keep the children occupied and exploring effectively. The outdoor area, in particular, has changed a lot and the children spend a lot of time outdoors whatever the weather. A brilliant nursery!

My daughter has attended two Bright Horizons Nurseries. After one closed down, we transferred over to Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool. It's been fantastic so far. The staff are very happy and nurturing to the children and their needs. My daughter is always happy to go to school. As usual, clingy in the mornings but once I leave she goes to her usual happy self playing and making friends. She's very comfortable there and talks about her friends and the garden. I especially love seeing the photos and details of the activities they do daily. The management of the branch is especially attentive and helpful.

Thank you Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool team for supporting and being passionate for my son whilst encouraging the parents. I'm glad that I chose Abbeymore. I would like to suggest labelling the names of children on their clothes to avoid misplacing in future.

Our first child started his journey at Bright Horizons Abbeymore Day Nursery and Preschool in 2023. In that year, his speech, social skills and confidence improved greatly. So it was a no-brainer that we enrolled our second this August to begin his adventures at the nursery too. He was so attached to us initially but the staff worked with us to get him settled at his own pace and without distress. Already, I am beginning to see changes. He gets involved in creative activities prepared by staff and he comes home so excited and eager to put his newfound knowledge and skills to use. I would definitely recommend this nursery.
