Overall Experience

After a bad experience with both a nursery and a childminder, I was hesitant to send my daughter to another nursery. After meeting the staff at ABC I was put at ease. My daughter has additional needs and the nursery has supported her through the last 2 years bringing on her speech and confidence. My

only regret is that I didn't send her there first.

Reply from Elizabeth Smith, Manager at A B C Day Nursery

Thank you for your review, it was so lovely to see your little one's character grow and grow. It was lovely to see the friendships she made and she always made us smile. Make sure you drop in and visit soon.

Highly recommend ABC Nursery, a lovely family-run business that cares immensely for the children and is always striving to get the best out of the children. I've used them from 2007-2010 and then from 2020-2024. Both were very positive experiences and wouldn't send my children anywhere else as they've

given them the best start in life ready for school.

Reply from Elizabeth Smith, Manager at A B C Day Nursery

Thank you for your kind words, and I'm so pleased to hear of your positive experience during your children's time at ABC. All the best to you both and your girls. Keep in touch.

Overall Experience

I have two children and both attended this nursery 7 years apart. This nursery is outstanding. They go above and beyond for your children and both have been ready for school by the time they have finished- they both started at 9 months old up until just under 5 years old. They have been extremely well

looked after and have learned so much from their experiences and from the staff taking care of them. They have been taught, through play, all about numbers, shapes, and phonics- the nursery does its best to give children the best start in life and they ensure lots of fun is had too in all manner of different activities. Both my children have loved this nursery and have been very sad to leave.

Reply from Elizabeth Smith, Manager at A B C Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review, I'm so pleased you have been happy with the service over so many years. As a family-run business, we like to keep standards high and ensure every child has the best experience. Stay in touch and all the best.

Overall Experience

ABC Nursery has been a complete God send.
My daughter has been going full time for over 3 years, since she the age of 1. They consistently deliver not only a wide range of activities but the staff’s care and patience have had such a wonderful influence on my little one. She loved the staff and ate

really well! Her communication skills, social skills, motor skills came on leaps and bounds. She’s made great friends and I trust the staff implicitly, it takes the weight out of leaving her in their care.
Not only are all her needs met, her behaviour improved, I felt really supported as a parent.
Extra parties and celebrations were organised, well over and above what you may expect, the care and generosity were overwhelming! Christmas parties, Easter celebrations, coronation tea party, just amazing!
Updates and photos via the online group are lovely, you’re made to feel part of their day- I’ll miss it so much now she’s moving on to school. They gave her such a lovely start - thank you!

So much learning has come from here. All the rooms are lovely and food is enjoyed and plenty of choices

From the first day until the last day and all of the days during the Covid-19 pandemic, the management and staff at A B C Day Nursery went above and beyond to ensure that our little boy was made to feel welcome. He learnt so much during his time at A B C, and we were all so grateful for the friendships

that were forged.
Thank you for everything.
We all miss you and wish you every success in the future, and know that you will support the foundation of many little ones to come.

Overall Experience

I'm so pleased with my son's time at ABC nursery so far! His social skills have come on leaps and bounds, along with all the experiences he has gained alongside his peers which is difficult to offer at home. I was very nervous leaving my son at 8 months old in the care of another but the nursery were

absolutely wonderful in offering a settling in period before leaving him for a full day. The staff obviously care so much for the children and it is a lovely environment for the children too.

Reply from Elizabeth Smith at A B C Day Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. settling in sessions are very important and often the children are fine but its very important that parents have that time to build up that trust and friendship with the staff.

What a fantastic nursery A B C really is! My son has attended for over a year now and has come on leaps and bounds. My son really struggled with his speech when he first started, the staff have worked tirelessly with him to improve his speech and other things, and now he has a fantastic vocabulary and

is so much more confident. The staff are all lovely and welcoming, the whole place has a family feel to it and is a lovely safe and clean place for your child to grow up in. A B C is by far the best nursery around. If you’re looking at sending your child to nursery then definitely give the manager and the ladies at A B C a thought.

I have nothing but praise for the A B C Nursery. The staff are not only friendly and polite but very welcoming to new parents. It can be daunting leaving your child at such a young age (mine was nine months old) but they made us feel very comfortable and secure. The activities that the children do are

lovely, there are music lessons on a Monday that my son loves, along with lots of painting and creative activities. The outside garden area has recently been done out and the kids go out in it every day. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience

My son has been in the nursery for a year, starting as a 2-year old. He had difficulty settling in but the ladies helped him considerably to feel welcome and safe. Eventually, he started loving it there and during the summer break holidays, he was asking several times when he could come back. Now as

a 3-year-old he enjoys it even more, although management could be more flexible with the hours offered. I do not like the system of 2.5 days a week. When I asked if this can be maintained, I was given an answer that yes but only if I want my 3-year-old to be staying with 2-year-olds :( not really a lot of choice. My second concern is TV and iPads. Are they really necessary for such small children? They have enough TV at home, I believe.

In spite of those two concerns, the staff is caring, kind and really dedicated. I always felt well-informed and most of all my son loves it. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

Reply from Elizabeth Smith, Manager at A B C Day Nursery

Thank you for your review, due to the high demand for the three-year-old spaces for the 2017/18 and the new 30-hour funding coming into place, we had no choice but to offer the sessions over 2.5 days. We like to offer flexible places but this wasn't possible for the schoolroom intake this year as we had so many existing parents wanting places for the new term. This was the only way I could accommodate everyone. Concerning the iPads/tv, these are monitored and educational apps are purchased for the children to extend their learning.

I definitely recommend A B C Day Nursery, I've had an older child and 8-month-old who is now 2, attend and both thrived in the setting.

I find the staff caring and approachable, I love the venue and think they've got it right with the different rooms and age groups.

The garden has just had a

refresh and is now an all year round space which is perfect.

Their daddy also attended the nursery 30 years ago and it's still run by the same family, proof that they're doing something very right.

Two of my children attended this nursery when we moved to Bearwood. All of the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly and made great connections with the children and their older sibling. They really took the time to treat each child as an individual. Having used other nurseries previously I can

A B C Day Nursery is a nursery I have and will continue to recommend. My first daughter went from 9 months and is now 6 years old and my second daughter has just started and I wouldn't have sent her anywhere else. The staff are all warm and friendly, they go out of their way to understand your child

as an individual and support them throughout their time at nursery. The nursery is always introducing innovative play and educational sessions with babies and children. My daughter was confident, sociable and also learnt a lot at nursery and talks positively of her time there now. My baby daughter has settled in well and already seems to be enjoying her time there too.
