We are so grateful and happy with Abacus Ark across both our daughters. We joined Abacus Ark St John's Hill when our original local nursery closed down during lockdown and Abacus Ark was one of the few that stayed open for key workers. And we feel so fortunate to have found them! We now have a younger
daughter (18months) who started in the baby room at 1-year, and our older daughter (now 5) started there at 3 and recently graduated from the pre-school room. Both our kids have such different personalities and both absolutely thrive in the school - a testament to the incredible teachers, classes, activities, and learning and social environment they have. The management have also done an outstanding job of building a true sense of community across the parents/kids/teachers. It has the perfect blend of feeling incredibly professional with a family/community feel. My husband and I often comment in our house how lucky we were to have come across the school and to have our kids there.

Thank you very much for your review. We are so pleased that you are happy with how your daughters have thrived at the nursery. We have loved having your older daughter and now your younger daughter. It's wonderful to see how much they have enjoyed coming to nursery. We appreciate your comments about the family/community feel at the nursery. This is something that we feel very strongly about and believe that a nursery really thrives when the community is a part of what we do. Thank you for your support!

My 18-month-old twins have been at Abacus Ark for six months now and couldn't be happier. They absolutely love the teachers and the activities and are learning like crazy, almost every day they come home with new words, new skills, new favourite games, and activities (they both seem to love yoga and
regularly sing to us on the way home). They're also amazing eaters now after going through a brief picky phase at 12 months, I think because the food they get is so good and so varied. We're so grateful for the wonderful care they receive and so happy we found this wonderful place.

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

Thank you for the lovely review. Your two little people certainly enjoy their time at the nursery and we love having them with us, too. It is lovely that they are singing on their way home to you! We are currently looking at putting some of our songs onto the website so that families can learn the songs and sing along with their children.

My 2-year-old has just started nursery for the 1st time and is obviously finding the separation from me difficult, but the staff are so warm and welcoming and reassuring (to both my daughter and myself!). My daughter tells me who has read her a story, and who she had cuddles with when she gets sad.
And when she’s telling me, I can see that she’s really alright there and beginning to feel settled. The online learning journal allows us to see her updates - it’s really reassuring to see her happy and stimulated in the classroom. Not just sitting there missing me!

My son has been at Abacus Ark for the last 18 months and has just moved into the pre-school room there. We have nothing but praise for the setting and the staff, and we feel so lucky that we chose it out of many local options. Our son has grown immeasurably in confidence and independence since going,
and it is joyful to hear him excitedly recount the goings-on of his day with his friends. I'm sure there are a lot of similarities between (most!) nurseries, in the type of activities the children do, etc, but what sets Abacus Ark apart for us is the level of passion to provide beyond the basic 'childcare' responsibilities: there is a genuine commitment to each child's overall wellbeing. We love that it is a family-owned and run business (the owner and manager's own children attend!) which I am sure is what helps them successfully build the culture of real community with both parents and local businesses. If you're reading this, don't hesitate to register your little one!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Abacus Ark. My son has been attending the nursery for over 2 years and we are having a wonderful experience at every stage. He's always welcomed and farewelled by professional and caring teachers, all members of the staff know his name, even if they are not in his room.
It's a family-run business, a safe, calm, and friendly atmosphere, many activities like music, rugby, yoga, drama, cooking, and most importantly lots of fun. The small garden is a plus, and they often go to the park. The children learn something new every day, physically, emotionally, they are motivated, understood, and helped to develop friendships and confidence. Parents are kept updated daily through an app, in addition to lovely and colourful newsletters. During the pandemic, Abacus Ark dealt immaculately and supported families through online classes and many other activities and prompt communication. My son is very happy there and so we parents are.

My daughter attended Abacus Ark from age 9 months until she started school in September 2021. She attended full days five days a week. She was always happy at this nursery. The care and education she received was excellent. Activities were very varied including languages, song, sports, and art. The
staff were excellent and always informed us of her learning milestones and gave us tips on things to work on at home. Potty training was a breeze with the help of the teachers. Management were excellent with communication, especially during the pandemic lockdowns. Without the nursery staff and management's hard work and diligence, I don’t know how we would have survived it. My daughter's “graduation” from nursery was a very special day for us and was actually quite sad as it was the end of her time at Abacus Ark which was a place that provided a community to our family for over four years. I could not recommend this nursery more highly.

Both of my daughters attended Abacus Ark, my eldest having recently graduated after being there since she was 8 months old. I can honestly say that her 4 years at nursery helped to shape her into the little girl she is today. Confident, capable, and full of enthusiasm for starting school. I will forever
be grateful to the team at Abacus Ark for making that transition so smooth. The staff all go above and beyond to help the children and are one of the nursery's biggest assets. Over the years my girls have formed wonderful relationships with all of their key teachers which they maintain today. The nursery setting is also lovely. It’s cosy but perfectly set up and the rooms are cleverly placed to help children transition from one to the next. It’s also a fab addition to have outside space in such a central location. Abacus Ark are truly fantastic and I'm so glad my girls had the opportunity to go there!

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

It has been lovely for us to get to know your daughters and thank you so much for entrusting them to our care over the last few years. It was very satisfying for the teachers to say goodbye to your eldest daughter as she went off (very ready) to her ‘Big School’. Our teachers work so hard to maintain high standards in all areas of our children’s development and it is so lovely to see this reflected in your review.

I can not possibly say enough positive things about Abacus Ark Nursery. As a mother you only want the best for your child and hands down Abacus Ark is the best. Teachers are caring, creative and always warm to the children. They have structure to their week so there is consistency for the kids and the
parents. With music, drama, yoga, cooking and even rugby my kids are always learning something new and staying active. The nursery management genuinely care about what parents think and feedback is always welcomed and appreciated. Abacus Ark is 10 out of 10!

Thank you for the lovely review. We love the enthusiasm that your little ones have for everything we do. Your little pre-schooler is certainly developing lots of confidence, partaking in all our activities, and growing in independence that will set her up for when she moves on to her reception class.

Our son feels safe and happy at Abacus Ark Nursery. Which for me is perhaps the most important aspect of nursery - security and well-being. The teachers are affectionate, focused, smart, and thoughtful. He has fun, is learning, and eats well. The children are entertained and their appetite for curiosity
satisfied. The nursery smoothly introduced our boy into potty training and I like the celebration of national and international festivities. The activities are sporty and creative. The owners are hands-on, and have a progressive attitude and maintain a healthy relationship with parents. There are external workshops designed for the parents providing a wide variety of courses ranging from nutrition, sleeping advice, education, schooling, etc. They are continuously looking to build upon what is an impressive child and parent experience. We are very happy with our child’s progress.

Our teachers and management are passionate about creating a nurturing environment for all members of the family and that's why it's great to get feedback such as yours - thank you! Your son certainly has a lovely time when he comes to nursery. He is very sociable and really immerses himself in the activities on offer.

We have two daughters (2 and 4) at Abacus Ark and we couldn't be happier with how the nursery has been throughout their time there. From being slowly and lovingly settled in as 1-year-olds, to our oldest graduating into pre-school, Abacus Ark has provided excellent care and early years education to
both girls. Through a hugely tough pandemic, the nursery were compassionate and communicative towards parents. The breadth of activities in the setting is fabulous, and beyond what we would expect from an early year setting. But most importantly, our children are super happy there and can't wait to see their teachers every day.

The Covid protocols have been challenging for the staff – but luckily has not hindered the children’s enjoyment of their time at the nursery. We are very lucky that we have such a dedicated team of staff to make sure the children have the best environment to learn and develop.

Abacus Ark is truly an outstanding nursery. My son has been attending the nursery for more than 2.5 years since he turned 1 year old. All the staff who have looked after him are so caring and professional. The care and love the children get from the staff is just incredible. The children learn so much
and there are activities like singing, dancing, yoga, rugby, etc going on. Such a lovely atmosphere at the nursery. My son has so many good friends at the nursery and they have formed such an amazing bond. He knows all the teachers and children in all the other rooms as well. The staff really go the extra mile. We are really extremely lucky to have Abacus Ark within walking distance from our house and Clapham Junction station. The parents get updates and pictures via an app and the teachers give the parents a good summary of the day. All the interactions I had with the team (from the first visit, settling in, finance, management, etc) have simply been brilliant and smooth.

We looked at several nurseries in the area before deciding on Abacus Ark for our daughter, and I could not be happier with our decision. We now have two children at Abacus and both are thriving there. All of the staff know all of the children so well and genuinely care about them. Equally, the children
adore the adults. It has a real family feel to the nursery and through Abacus we have built up a great network of friends in the area. In addition to this, I am confident that my 4-year-old who will be starting school next September will be very well prepared. The teachers at Abacus have supported her to gain confidence; helped her to build strong relationships with her peers and have already started teaching her to read and write in a way that she finds enjoyable. The drama, yoga, rugby, cooking, and multitude of other activities they get to participate in each week are just a bonus!

Thank you for such a positive review, Liza. The Preschool staff are carefully chosen for their ability to prepare the children for school, and they really are so good at doing this! It is so lovely for us to see so many siblings coming through the nursery. It really does add to our ‘family feel’ that we are so wanting to maintain. We are so pleased that you chose us!

Our daughter started at Abacus Ark when she was 9 months old and has just graduated at 4 to go to school. We’ve had a fantastic experience with the nursery at every stage. The nursery has some truly wonderful teachers who have learning and development as a priority but are always delivered with fun.
Our daughter has built a strong bond with a number of teachers and still asks to see them. She’s also made lifelong friends. The children do lots of different activities like cooking, drama, and yoga. Our daughter has been encouraged to develop her love of music and dance, imaginative play and she’s also made good progress with key milestones such as her reading and phonics and writing her name. There are also regular trips out. The nursery staff were also great during the pandemic doing their best to continue with weekly online activities and maintain a supportive community feel. This is a lovely nursery with a personal touch and we are sad that our daughter’s time here has ended.

Abacus Ark Nursery is a fantastic place to take your child during the first few years of their development. It has a great ethos, excellent facilities, dedicated staff, and most importantly, a fantastic leadership. This was never more important than during the beginning of the Covid pandemic when Abacus
Ark Nursery was one of the few that really cared about children's welfare. They managed to offer a great and safe service despite the obvious risks. They even pioneered the use of Covid rapid antigen testing for children and staff. I would recommend Abacus Ark Nursery to all parents interested in a "normal" and "fun" approach to child development, so difficult to find nowadays.

Abacus Ark is fantastic. We initially chose the nursery because the children all seemed so incredibly happy and chatty when we visited.
Our daughter started there when she had just turned one, and the staff took huge care to settle her and make her feel happy there.
She has formed exceptional bonds
with several of the staff and the other children and happily skips in to see them. She also chats to us non-stop about her friends and the activities she does at nursery. Judging by the energy we see at pick up/drop off, the other children love it too!


We are thrilled with our decision to send her there.

Abacus Ark is an outstanding nursery which I have no hesitation in recommending. Our little boy has been there since he was a baby and is now in pre-school. Every member of staff is so kind, warm, professional, caring, and hard-working. They are constantly coming up with new ways to entertain the kids
and for pre-schoolers, to get them ready for school. Our little boy does classes in yoga, cooking, rugby, drama, music, Spanish and that's before all the arts and crafts/play/reading, etc. Also should mention that the management of this nursery is fantastic. They are so friendly, helpful, organised and super-efficient. When Covid/lockdowns hit we were bowled over at how quickly they adapted and how informative the director was. Also, invoices are always prompt and correct (we do extra hours sometimes). Finally that it is very clean, has great food, outdoor space, near the common/playgrounds where they often go. Everything you could want - I couldn't recommend it more highly.

We were touched by the support we have received from parents during this pandemic period and it's because of this positive partnership that we have been able to continue as we have.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.723)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.723) out of 10 for Abacus Ark Nursery School Clapham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 4.828 for Abacus Ark Nursery School Clapham is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.828

  • 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 4.895 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Abacus Ark Nursery School Clapham is based on 17 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 95 number of registered child places is 19. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 19 = 0.895
