Our 1-year-old son settled quickly and now loves it here. The staff are wonderfully caring and attentive and if we have anything to raise they are quick to respond. We love the updates we get every day on the app about the variety of activities he does. We feel he is well known as an individual and
that they make an effort to help him in the areas he needs to develop (e.g. movement). We are very happy to drop him off here each day knowing he will have fun and be well looked after.

Abingdon Kindergarten is a great nursery; it has a small family feel to it and the staff are enthusiastic and dedicated. My children go in excited every morning and come out with smiles on their faces every evening. The staff work hard to build close bonds with the children and are really able to ignite
a love of learning in the children especially in the pre-school room. Their excellent handling of changes in procedures due to COVID has not affected the children or impacted on their daily experiences and illustrates just how well the nursery is run and managed. I would highly recommend Abingdon Kindergarten.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.682)
Overview of Review Score
The Review Score of 8.7 (8.682) out of 10 for Abingdon Kindergarten Ltd - Long Furlong is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 5 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:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.661 for Abingdon Kindergarten Ltd - Long Furlong is calculated as follows:
(
(41 Excellents x 5)
+
(16 Goods x 4)
+
(2 Satisfactorys x 3)
)
÷ 59 Ratings = 4.661
b) 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 4.021 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Abingdon Kindergarten Ltd - Long Furlong is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i)
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)

= 3.5
ii)
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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.521
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

I have had a strong footing and a keen interest in the early years and child care for over twenty years. During this time I have developed a belief that children should have access to the outdoors as much as possible, this is where they flourish.
Following my own interests in the outdoors has led me towards forest school and more recently permaculture. Taking inspiration from these two areas and mixing them has led me in the past to creating outdoor curriculums that produced excited, emotionally intelligent learners that were ready to move onto school for the next stage in their learning journey.
My creative background has allowed me to look at problems I have faced with an open mind and look outside the box for the best possible solutions.
I look forward to showing you around our beautiful nursery! Call us for a tour!

Hi my name is Jess. I have worked in childcare for 14 years and I have a huge passion for helping children learn. Seeing their happy little faces everyday brings me pure joy! Sensory play is one of my favourite things to plan for our children and finding new ways to develop and stimulate children's senses in their day to day learning is one of my talents. I love planning and organizing events with our parents and teaching children about different festivals, as well as creating an environment rich in culture through out the year. My two favourite celebrations is Halloween and Christmas. I would love to chat to you and get to know how I can introduce your favourite cultural festivals to our nursery!
