Our daughter has been attending Abigail's since she was 9 months old and she absolutely loves it. She always comes home tired but happy, and it's lovely that we get photos of her during the day to see what she's been up to. Being at nursery has undoubtedly helped her social development and increased
her confidence, and the staff members form real bonds with the children meaning that you can trust your child feels safe and supported.

Our child has been attending Abigail's for around 4 months. Since starting he has thrived with the staff and other children. More often than not he brings home crafts or a painting. He loves the staff and they always go the extra mile to make sure that his routine is respected, his nappy and face are
clean and he is in clean clothes. They do a range of activities and offer meals that our little boy loves.
Abigail's gives me the freedom to work and not have to worry or feel as guilty for leaving my young child at nursery. The staff are like family to our child now.
Our only downside would be the price - but this is no reflection of the nursery as they do keep it as low as possible. It would be good if Wales would follow the same as England's recent free childcare scheme.

Abigail's Nursery has enabled my son to flourish! He cannot wait to go to the 'big house' every morning and play with his friends. He loves the staff, and as soon as they open the door to welcome him his smile says it all!

I'm a new(ish) mum who grew up without any children around, ever. I feel so clueless and out of my depth most of the time, but I know my son loves his time in Abigail's. His speech has improved so much, and he is always excited to go. Being beside the train station is fab too, both for travel and he
loves to wave as the trains go by!

Both of my children have attended Abigail's, and I simply wouldn't have put them anywhere else. The staff knows all the children, even those they don't directly work with, and you can tell they genuinely care for the children. They are focused on providing the best learning experiences for the children
throughout the year, providing additional experiences such as Father Christmas visits, festival activities, and sponsored walks. The rooms are a child's dream, with lots of equipment to explore and play with.

I was so nervous to return to work and trust others to care for my baby. I visited Abigail’s Day Nursery for a look around and fell in love! Every single member of staff smiled and said “hello”. The children were so happy and engaging in fun activities. The environment was very natural and has adopted
the curiosity approach. I knew immediately that Abigail’s was the place to send my baby.
Now that my baby is at the nursery, she comes out smiling every day and I am regularly sent photos and updates of what she has been up to on the app. The staff members are always willing to help, listen and offer advice. Everybody is approachable.
Abigail’s is truly a wonderful nursery that I would recommend to anybody!
I know that I will continue to send my child to Abigail’s for years to come because it feels just like a warm and welcoming family.
Thank you to everyone at Abigail’s for your commitment and support.

Both my daughter and son have attended/attend Abigail’s and had fantastic experiences there. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They keep in regular contact and update often. There are so many activities for the children to take part in and each week they come home having experienced or created
something new. They also sing lots of songs and play in the garden as often as possible as well. The staff still remember my daughter and often ask after her, even though it’s been almost four years since she attended as well. I would highly recommend Abigail’s to anyone looking for a nursery for their little ones.

Abigail's is home from home. We moved home and my son had to change nurseries, he's settled in so quickly because of the care and love everyone has shown him.
I am so grateful to all the team. He's coming home saying new words and learning new things every day.
It's a testament that he goes running
in every time. Abigail's is wonderful.

I cannot recommend Abigail's Nursery enough! My child started at Abigail's at the end of 2021 and still attends. I found it very difficult leaving him following maternity leave but communication and settling-in period with the staff completely put me at ease.
The children are involved in so many lovely
activities throughout the day and wellbeing is always at the top of the list. The app which allows you to track what your child is doing and eating throughout the day is wonderful and the meals are a lovely variety of healthy dishes.
The staff are all so lovely and very approachable. All go above and beyond with the children.

My youngest has started recently and the staff have been so supportive and helpful with settling in, they have accommodated my many phone calls and have reassured me and supported us in this transition. My older child also attended Abigail’s and absolutely loved it, I couldn’t have asked for anything
more than knowing my child is happy and cared for throughout the day.

I highly recommend. My baby was 7.5 months old when he started attending Abigail's nursery. He had no sleep routine and didn't take a bottle so I was very worried. The nursery staff saw me a few times before he started, making sure I was not too worried and that they would take the best and gentle approach
to these points. They tried multiple bottles and cups to make him take milk and were open to so many suggestions. He is now really confidently eating solids in the nursery and has naps without a problem. In general, I thought the staff made this place. He loves going to nursery, smiles when I drop him off and is very tired and happy when I pick him up. Staff always know exactly what he was doing during the day and they spend time talking it through. I really feel like they go out of their way to make both baby and mum happy and well looked after.

My son attended for around 10 months. He was initially quite shy and nervous to go into the nursery but the team were amazing and he settled right in. His confidence and social skills have developed and I’m really sad that due to circumstances changing, he no longer attends.
The team were really helpful
and friendly and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery!

My child attends Abigail's Day Nursery for two days a week and has a fab time. The staff are great, friendly, very responsive to questions and proactive in asking whether we would like them to adapt routines as needs change (length of naps, move from bottles to cups etc). We're given a detailed overview
of their monthly planning which always includes alot of variety linked to a core theme. We're also updated through the Famly app with their meals, naps, nappy changes and photos of their day. They have indoor and outdoor activities and also take kids out on mini-trips. There's alot of tie in with national events, most recently Children's Mental Health Awareness Week and Random Acts of Kindness Day, where they took the kids to give out presents and little bunches of daffodils to the shops and people's home which was lovely. It's a great fit for us and makes us feel a part of the community.

Both of my children attended/attend Abigail’s and we’ve had a wonderful connection to the nursery for over 4 years now. Leaving your child with someone new is daunting but from day one I have always felt my children have had the best care possible, nursery to them is a home from home. The wonderful
staff make each day special and it’s amazing seeing the updates throughout the day. I adore the way Abigail’s treats each child as an individual and caters to their needs/personalities and truly helps the children to shine and grow. My eldest learnt so much there which put him in good stead for school and my youngest is now coming home each week having learnt something new, it’s truly the best nursery!

I don’t have enough words to recommend Abigail's Day Nursery. I used this nursery for the first time in 2015 and they’ve been so amazing, helping me and the baby settle in the new environments and keeping me updated with my child’s progress. I’ve returned to this nursery in 2022 with my boy and helped
him settle (he is a Covid baby), he was very shy and wasn’t happy to be surrounded by new people, but the staff gave time and love to help him. He is a new child. Thank you very much!

Very happy to recommend Abigail's Day Nursery. My daughter has been going since she turned 1 and the staff are outstanding, we have been so impressed with how the staff are so personable and really get to know the child. Communication with parents is very good and the activities covered are both educational
and fun, you feel like your child is having a good all rounded experience with plenty of fun and creative activities. Food is nutritious and staff go out of their way to ensure your child gets the support they need and all their needs met in a person centred way. Brilliant location too.

When I was looking for a nursery for my first child, Abigail's was the only nursery that I visited where I instantly felt comfortable and knew I’d be happy for him to attend. All the children looked happy and the nursery was spotless. The staff were all really friendly and I liked that they do so many
activities with the children. Second son now attends and is always happy to go. The staff are amazing and he often talks about them at home. 10000% recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.929)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.929) out of 10 for Abigail's Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.929 for Abigail's Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.929

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Abigail's Day Nursery is based on 13 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
