First of all, many thanks from the heart, for all your hard work, love and patience with the children. My son has been at Abacus Nursery for almost one year now. He is so happy there, it feels like a second home to him. Every day there is a new activity or experience planned. All the staff were wonderful,
caring and so supportive. Our son has always been happy when arriving at the nursery in the morning and when picked up in the morning and when picked up in the evening. He has learned a lot. We feel very lucky that we've found such a great nursery with a good educational environment for children.

Reply from Parent Experience Team at Abacus Ark Nursery School Maida Vale

When we receive feedback like yours, it makes us so happy. To hear that the nursery is like a second home to your son is what we strive for and what the staff put their heart and soul into. It is vital to us that children receive the best care possible in a fun, safe and stimulating environment, all based on their unique needs and personalities. Thank you for your valuable feedback and for entrusting the care of your son to us. We are so happy to be a part of his early years journey!

My daughter was in this nursery's 2-3 year group. The nursey is so warm, like a big family! My daughter went in and settled really quickly under the care of her key person. I really appreciate their personal and affectionate approach to each child. We had to leave due to a location issue but I highly
recommend this nursery and appreciate everything the staff have done for my daughter. Although they don't have their own garden, they took children out on daily basis to parks nearby and my daughter loves it. They also have a dedicated soft play spot where they organised parties for family and the location is very clean and well organised. Lots of activities for parents to join if you want to be more involved. So again, highly recommend, thank you for everything!

Reply from Parent Experience Team, Parent Experience Manager at Abacus Ark Nursery School Maida Vale

Thank you very much for your feedback. It has been our pleasure to have had your daughter under our care and to see how much she has thrived. Whilst we do have our own garden space about 5 minutes away, we also take advantage of what the wider area offers us including the wonderful grounds and resources of a nearby recreation ground and also the nearby soft play centre. Outdoor activities are vitally important for the children as well as the numerous indoor activities, including specialist music, dance, drama and yoga classes. Thank you again for your comments.

Our son has been in Abacus Ark for more than 2 years now and we couldn't be more happy and thankful that we made the decision to choose Abacus Ark as his nursery. Over the last 2 years, he developed a very remarkable bond with the teachers, staff and his peers. Every time I pick him up from the nursery,
he would be so excited to tell me all the wonderful things he did that day with his friends and what he learned from his teachers. He is always excited to come back the next day! We have seen his confidence and character develop over time, with the help of the lovely team from Abacus Ark. He always looks forward to show and tell. Abacus Ark has given the children and the parents a sense of community, with the family brunches, inviting us to their celebration theme parties. we're always updated with my son's development, learning and activities with the daily journal. Looking forward to making more memories with Abacus Ark until our son is ready for the big kid school!

Reply from Parent Experience Team, Parent Experience Manager at Abacus Ark Nursery School Maida Vale

We too have seen how your son has developed in so many ways and we love the fact that we can be a big part of his early year's journey. He immerses himself in everything with a great deal of enthusiasm. It's very important to us that parents can be involved in events that we hold and to be updated regularly. Our values including parent partnership makes for a very warm and secure environment for everyone. Thank you for your support.

My son has been attending Abacus Ark Nursery for over two years, and he is so happy there it feels like a second home. Many thanks to all the staff for their hard work, love, dedication, and patience with the children. All of them are so welcoming, hospitable and well-disposed. I am happy that my son,
now aged 33 months, knows all the colours, shapes, alphabet, animals, counts until 30 speaks English fluently (knowing that I'm Arabic) and now they're helping with potty training. The good thing I appreciate is the timetable they are offering kids since they are in the baby room: they take them to the park and the library, and they have dance, football, Yoga, and drama classes. I also like how they create activities from real life. For example, I liked when they took them to the bus station to learn everything about buses, explore the police car and speak to the mailman. This is so helpful in preparing children for life and for school! I highly recommend this happy and wonderful environment!

Reply from Parent Experience Team, Parent Experience Manager at Abacus Ark Nursery School Maida Vale

We are beyond delighted to hear that you consider us like a second home. We consider ourselves a 'nursery family' and endeavour to make all children feel safe and happy at Abacus Ark. We love our staff and continue to be awed by their dedication and professionalism and so thank you for your comments. Our full program is intended to stimulate and delight the children and it's wonderful to see how much your son has immersed himself in all that we have to offer. Thank you for entrusting the care of your son to us and we look forward to many more happy days watching him grow and thrive.

We have had two children attend the nursery and we are incredibly happy with the care provided. Both boys love their time with fantastic and caring teachers. Our eldest has just started school and his ability to transfer and thrive is a testament to how his teachers have taught. We thoroughly recommend.

Reply from Parent Experience Team, Parent Experience Manager at Abacus Ark Nursery School Maida Vale

We are delighted to have been able to care for your eldest son and now his little brother. Whilst the time seems to have gone quickly it has been so worthwhile watching them on their individual journeys. They are a delight and we get so much from seeing them immerse themselves in all that we have to offer and how they have flourished in so many ways. Thank you.

Absolutely love this place. On the downside, they have no outside space, but I now see this as a net benefit because the team is so proactive and the kids go out every day on little outings to the local park, or soft play etc. The staff are (without exception) super friendly and our daughter loves her
teachers. She cried for the first couple of weeks as it was all new to her, but she was looked after very well and now she can't wait to get in there every day. We especially enjoy seeing how our little girl is learning there - from new songs, to colours, words and numbers. I would 100% recommend this nursery to any prospective parent.

Reply from Parent Experience Team, Parent Experience Manager at Abacus Ark Nursery School Maida Vale

Thank you very much for your comments. We appreciate what you say about our outside space and in particular that we are proactive about outdoor time. In addition to what you have mentioned, we also have our own garden space, albeit off-site (about 5 minutes away) which the children love to go to every day. This and the area's wonderful recreation spots and fabulous resources are on hand to provide the children with a stimulating and healthy time outdoors. We are delighted you have entrusted the care of your daughter to us and we love seeing her grow and immerse herself in Abacus Ark nursery life every day!

We absolutely love Abacus Ark Nursery! They are doing an amazing job with our son. His day is full of new and exciting activities that promote his happiness and progress. They are also amazing in keeping us updated with posts on a private app about their activities. These small notifications during
the day are great, especially during the integration phase, to see how happy they are and to get inspired by their amazing work. The communication with parents regarding any issue with the baby is also very efficient and they always made an effort to accommodate parents' requests. I would definitely highly recommend Abacus Ark to any family and friends! Keep going with your amazing work! Thank you!

Thank you very much for your feedback. We always appreciate hearing parents' perspectives of what we're doing and the difference it's making. We are so happy that you have made the comment about happiness as that is what we strive for. It is at the heart of everything we do and it is at the very core of our values. Attaining this involves understanding children and their individual needs and personality. Communication is also critical and we thank you for your comments.

Becoming a parent was an overwhelming, all-encompassing experience and so handing over our precious, quiet, clingy daughter to the baby room three and a half years ago was incredibly hard all round. Our daughter adjusted pretty quickly and soon came to adore going to nursery and seeing her teachers.
The time has passed in the blink of an eye and this month she left a confident, articulate, funny young lady heading for "big school". It's impossible to convey in a review our thanks and pride in the team in setting our girl on the right track, other than to say we think of them as an extension of our family. The teachers' names are heard daily in our house, their songs are sung and we love hearing tales of forest school adventures or being taught dance and yoga moves they learned. Thankfully our son still attends the nursery so this isn't the end of our Abacus Ark journey.

Reply from Parent Experience Team, Parent Experience Manager at Abacus Ark Nursery School Maida Vale

We clearly remember your daughter starting with us and it has been an absolute privilege to be part of her early years journey. There is no greater happiness for us than when children leave to go to 'big' school, confident and happy in who they are. Your daughter is undoubtedly these things and whilst we would love for all our children to stay with us a bit longer, we are so happy they can move on feeling totally ready for the next stage in their lives. Thank you for entrusting her care to us and we are delighted that we can now play a part in your son's early years journey. Thank you for your support of us.

Both my sons went to Abacus Ark and they have been very well looked after by the very caring team of staff. They both enjoyed their time there and most importantly, we felt that they were safe and were loved. It is also a lifesaver for working parents as they are open the whole year except for Christmas.
They also prepare the children for school really well so they both had no problems transitioning into big school. Thank you to the staff for their dedication and kindness!

Our son joined Abacus Ark at 12 months old. We were quite apprehensive about his settling-in, but the transition from home to nursery was absolutely seamless, thanks to the incredible staff at Abacus. Over the three months, he has developed such trusting relations with the staff that he lights up when
he sees them. The activities are varied and well thought-out, and we have already seen huge leaps in his cognitive, physical, and social development. We are regularly updated on his activities and progress, so that we can reinforce the same at home. Likewise, the staff take on board his learnings at home. As parents, it's so reassuring to know that he is happy, well looked after and has had a wonderful day when we come to pick him up. We have seen our son's individuality develop and it's wonderful to see him thriving at Abacus. We feel very well looked after and supported as a family and would highly recommend Abacus Ark.

Reply from Parent Experience Team, Parent Experience Manager at Abacus Ark Nursery School Maida Vale

Thank you very much for your review. We are so glad our settling-in programme (and beyond) has meant your son has settled so well. We place a great deal of care in ensuring that each and every child feels safe and nurtured at all times. We support their individual requirements and personality and watch happily as they grow in confidence and start to explore all that the nursery has to offer. Relationships within the nursery and with parents is key to the happiness of the children and we thank you for your support. We look forward to continuing to be part of your son's early years journey!

We love Abacus Ark Nursery! The staff are amazing - they make my daughter feel so welcome and loved and it's fascinating to see how much she copies her teacher - from their manner to their dressing style! The nursery managers are also brilliant - from managing the return from covid restrictions to resource
planning as children and staff were initially falling ill more often. The admin department is really humane too. We feel like we get heard individually even though they are a part of a chain of nurseries! So glad we go to Abacus Ark at Maida Vale. Highly recommend it!

We have absolutely loved our experience at Abacus Ark. It has been a caring, supportive, and stimulating environment for our child. We appreciate the variety of activities: books, legos, tuff table, painting; trips to the garden or soft play; drama and music teachers. As parents, we found communication
easy and helpful (through the app, email, and in-person meetings), and we loved the flexibility of the "core day" schedule option. Most of all, we've been so impressed by the attentiveness of the teachers. Our child's needs changed over time: at the start, he was anxious to be away from home, and they gave plenty of extra 1-on-1 attention. Later, they knew how to help him gain more confidence and independence. Most recently, as his verbal skills developed, they made sure to facilitate time with the older toddlers, enabling him to form some very close friendships. Our child has thrived at Abacus, and I cannot say enough good things about it.

Reply from Parent Experience Team, Parent Experience Manager at Abacus Ark Nursery School Maida Vale

We really appreciate your comments. It's a pleasure to care for your son and we too have enjoyed seeing his confidence and independence grow.

We have always loved this nursery since our first child joined. They are caring and attentive. The activities are well planned and each day they employ an outside teacher to come in and do something specific with the children such as yoga, music, dance, and football. They also celebrate all faiths and
occasions in equal measure which the children thoroughly enjoy. Also, they teach the children in line with the early years guidelines. My children were always very happy there and I have always been very happy with Abacus Ark. There is no outdoor space at the nursery but every day the children are taken on an outing for a walk or to their local ‘garden’ not far away. This is a pleasant change of scene for the children and in my view a bonus. I would highly recommend this nursery, preschool and the staff there as my experience has been so good! They also take part in a Forest School once a week. The food is fantastic too. Thank you, Abacus Ark!

Both my son, and daughter previously, have been to Abacus Ark Nursery School and we have always been extremely happy. The staff are kind and caring towards the children and our little ones have always said how much they enjoy going. Both children have made great progress here and have had a tremendous
headstart for reception. The nursery is flexible to parents, we always pick up early and it’s never an issue and they proved through Covid that they understood our needs by reducing fees and still providing online classes and the option of purchasing food. I would (and have) recommended Abacus Ark to any parent who is looking for a nurturing nursery and preschool, I feel safe with my children in their hands.

My daughter's first steps into the nursery from day one of settling and beyond to current - all went well with her transitioning to this current day. Her very own journey, progress learning speech, behaviour and general learning and development, through her interaction with the other children and making

She loves the music, drama, and to sing a song along with all, the yoga classes and football.

Abacus Ark Nursery School is a good choice for a working mother. The teachers are very lovely and kind. The team react to parents' queries quickly. Children can stay here for a long time during the daytime and the nursery never closes for a long time. Everything is very good except it would be good
if my toddler's nappy could be changed more frequently. My child will be 3 years old, an age at which other children might know how to use the potty before he knows it. It would be good to change his nappy more frequently.

(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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 19 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.
