Can't speak highly of Abigail's. My daughter is currently in the baby room. She settled well after a few months. The staff have been great at listening to us and I feel like a team with the staff in helping her grow and learn. They keep you well informed through the app. They do lovely activities with
the children. I can't wait to see her grow through the rooms.

Amazing nursery definitely worth the price you pay for it. The girls and managers go above and beyond and make you feel really comfortable. If I have any issues you can contact them via the app or in person. They take the kids out and do all sorts of fun activities, having the ice cream man round. Or
even the local police to visit the children too.

My daughter has been going here just under a year. She loves it, always gets to do fun activities. I always get an update on her day when I pick her up, and the staff are always really friendly. They use an app to update you through your the day on food, naps and toileting, and you get updates on the
activities they are doing and some pictures.

I can't recommend Abigail's Day Nursery enough! My two eldest boys attended Abigail's Day Nursery three days a week from the age of one, until they started nursery school and for a short while we also used their wrap around service which was fantastic. My youngest who is eighteen months is currently
there and has been since he turned one, I had no doubt in my mind that he would also go to Abigail's Day Nursery once I returned to work. The staff are fantastic, so friendly and caring. I feel so happy leaving my little one with them as I know he is well looked after and are very happy that he is having lots of fun. The facilities are great, such a lovely building with lots of space both indoor and out, it is a great location too. The food is all homemade and very nutritious. My youngest has food allergies with egg, gluten and wheat and nothing has been too much trouble for them in terms of his dietary requirements. The management and cook were more than happy to ensure he has a varied diet while ensuring they met his needs.

Abigail's Day Nursery has been absolutely outstanding with looking after my child in this pandemic. I have felt that I have been able to leave my child safely at the nursery through these tough times. My little one always comes home with a smile and says how he has had such a lovely day there. I would
100% recommend this nursery to anyone I know and the staff are all amazing.

My daughter has been attending Abigail’s since she was 10 months old and absolutely loves her time there. Staff are fantastic and show so much care and attention to each and every child. The range of activities my daughter undertakes daily are superb. My daughter has recently joined the Owls group (preschool)
and is relishing each and every day. The Owls group is also great preparation for when school begins. I am extremely happy that I chose Abigail’s for my daughters early years' childcare. I certainly feel I have given her the best start. The nursery offers outstanding communication to parents and nothing is ever too much. The recent addition of the app has been amazing as I can check on my daughter and get insights into her day whilst I am working. The care and dedication shown at Abigail’s is second to none and we will all be extremely sad when the time comes for my daughter to attend full-time school.

I first used Abigail's Day Nursery for my son when it first opened in 2013. He absolutely loved it there and stayed until he was of school age in 2017. When I had my daughter in 2019, there was no question as to where she would be going to nursery. She has been there since December 2019 and enjoys every
minute! The staff are all lovely! They’re so kind! My daughter absolutely loves it there and I do not worry about her while she’s there as the staff are just so amazing with her! I can’t recommend Abigail's Day Nursery enough! Thank you ladies for everything!

My daughter currently attends and loves her days at the nursery, she's always busy doing a wide range of activities and bringing home lots of crafts. It's a fab nursery with lots of space and a lovely garden. The staff are amazing and so caring.

Great nursery and would highly recommend it to anyone. The staff are very helpful and friendly providing us with great updates and pictures on our child's day. All 3 of my girls have attended Abigail's and all have loved their time here. They built up great relationships with the staff never moaned
about going and miss them when they leave.

Abigail's is fantastic, my son has been going since he was 8 months old now nearly 5, my daughter also goes there now as well. The staff are fantastic, friendly, helpful and really care about the children. They are always happy to help the range of activities on offer for all age groups is brilliant.
I couldn’t recommend them any higher.

I’ve had two children in Abigail's over the past 4 years and have constantly been impressed with the level of care they give to the children. After viewing a few nurseries in the local area I knew immediately when viewing Abigail's this was where I wanted my child to attend. Would highly recommend it
to anyone looking for a nursery.

The nursery offers a range of activities and foods at mealtimes. The price is competitive and affordable in my opinion. They now have an app which is great to see my daughter's day to day life at nursery. The staff are always welcoming and helpful.

This is a brilliant nursery. I looked at a few in the area before selecting Abigail's for a number of reasons. The location is so convenient, an open car park at the front. The building is so colourful inside, clean and warm and so many rooms for different age groups and activities. They were cooking
lunch while I was there; everything from scratch. The staff were so warm and welcoming and the children were having an absolute blast. I signed my son up there and then. It’s been 7 months since and it’s only improved! The feedback we have throughout the day is now communicated through an app, we get pictures and videos of our son during the day which is so comforting. The meals are always varied and provide a good balance. Even during this pandemic, this nursery and its staff have gone above and beyond to keep things going, with updated risk assessments sent out to parents throughout. I can’t recommend it enough, just great value for money and I know my boy is safe and happy!

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.
