My toddler daughter absolutely loves going to Abacus and has thrived at the nursery since she started going at age 1. The teachers, including the senior staff, are so loving and wonderful towards her and it's clear from their approach that they genuinely care and love the children in the nursery and they value their education even at very young ages. As my daughter is my first-born child, I was nervous at first about her going to nursery, but Abacus has been such an amazing place for her and she has grown in her development in leaps and bounds. Although the nursery doesn't have its own garden, this hasn't affected my child much at all as the staff regularly take the children on outdoor walks and go regularly to various places nearby (such as soft play). I feel very reassured, supported and encouraged as a mum sending my child to this nursery (and my husband feels the same). What a lovely place with such wonderful people!

Today is the last day for my son, you were his second home and I just want to thank all the staff with a special thank you to two teachers in particular. My 3 kids have been to Abacus and if I have another child without a doubt this will be the nursery that they would go to! To any new parents do not hesitate a second! Apart from keeping your child, they learn the first rules of their life, the child is fully capable of passing the 4+ to any big school. Thanks again for all the wonderful years and thank you on behalf of my kids. With my best regards.

My daughter began over a year ago, at the time I was temporarily ill with Bell's palsy which I was quite self-conscious about, however, all the nursery staff were so understanding and supportive, which was of great support for my recovery and my daughter's important settling-in period. She has gone from strength to strength at nursery, beginning in the baby room, and now in the toddler room. It has aided her development no end, the range of activities, arts, crafts and outings are wonderful and creative. Nursery makes a concerted effort to be inclusive and recognises international festivals/culture, which we love. Communication is exceptional from all staff, management, finance/head office and nursery staff with effective continuous daily updates via the app, nursery staff capture photos of activities i.e spontaneous observations, these are of great comfort to parents/carers as it's so important to be kept in the loop of everything and see your child happy. Communication re resource and maintenance updates of the building is also wonderful.

I am super happy with my daughter's progress and time spent in the nursery. She is developing better than I imagined right in front of me thanks to educators and people working there. I like the fact that she is not afraid to take initiative or ask a ton of questions while trying to figure out something. I would definitely recommend to my family or friends. Big thank you.

My daughter has attended your nursery for the past 3 years, full time. From the first day, she was welcomed by friendly, caring staff in a very nurturing environment. I was unaware of the nursery curriculum prior and have been amazed at the development of my daughter through both academic and physical activity. Thoroughly recommended.

My child has attended Abacus Ark since he turned 12 months old and he's been there for the last 8 months. It is such a fun and stimulating environment and the teachers come up with lots of creative activities to keep the children engaged and learning through play. My son really enjoys his time there and he has developed a strong bond with several of his teachers and I believe he is very well cared for and supported. My son also loves the weekly activities which include a dance class, immersive sensory music classes and soft play. He has surprised and entertained us with the dance moves he has learned at nursery several times! We are very happy we chose Abacus Ark for our son. The teachers and managers are all excellent.

My daughter has been attending Abacus Nursery since she was 1 year old. Leaving your tiny baby to the care of others can be quite stressful, but the love and attention she has received at Abacus are truly unmatched. Now 2 years old, she adores Abacus and looks forward to going there each day. Her excitement in the mornings and her contentment when she leaves demonstrate how happy she is. She is blossoming and acquiring new skills rapidly, thanks to the thoughtfully planned and engaging daily activities. The teachers and staff at Abacus are truly exceptional. They show immense love and care, and they ensure that parents are kept well-informed on a daily basis. I am now pregnant with our second and have already enrolled the baby at Abacus - that's how much we trust and appreciate the wonderful care they provide.

My daughter is always so happy to arrive at the nursery, the team is so welcome, and always in a good mood. They do so many activities, go outside, to the park etc. The app is really helpful if you want to check what your child does step by step during the day. And it's easy to communicate with the team.

Our daughter is having a lovely time at Abacus Ark. She enjoys the activities, her teachers and little friends. Daily updates via the app give us a good idea of what happens at the nursery, which we find we'll engage in the growth of the children.

My kid is always excited to go to the nursery in the morning. I pick him up smiling and happy in the evening. He is very well-fed and loved. The activities the staff arranges for the kids are very engaging and educational. My kid is learning it all in a fun playful way. 5 stars all the way!

We are extremely satisfied to have chosen this nursery! Our son started there when he was just 1 year old and is still attending now, he loves to go and asks to go even when it is closed. He has learned much from them, they organize amazing activities and keep us always updated through the app. At Abacus they really care about the kids, they love them and make them feel special. Thanks Abacus.

Abacus Ark Nursery School is truly an exceptional place for young children to grow and learn. The staff are all incredibly caring and dedicated, and they go above and beyond to create a warm and nurturing environment. It's clear that a lot of thought and planning goes into every aspect of the program, from the daily activities to the materials and resources used in the classroom. My sons have learned so much during their time at Abacus Ark, and they always come home excited to share what they've been working on. But what really makes Abacus Ark stand out is the sense of community that they've created. It's more than just a nursery - it's a place where families can come together and meet each other. The staff are always available to answer questions and provide guidance, and they truly care about the well-being of each child. Overall, I would highly recommend Abacus Ark to any family looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their young children. It's been an absolute pleasure!

Abacus is an amazing nursery I put all my children there and all the time had an amazing experience. The staff is really warm and welcoming with each kid. My daughter who is 2 always come back with new nursery songs to perform at home. Even if they don’t have an outdoor space they can ale the opportunity to bring the children out every day. I can’t recommend it more !! 5stars

The nursery staff have made an induction to daycare for my little one really nice and in a nurturing and caring way. My child is very happy there and has shown significant progress in learning and development since joining Abacus Arch a few months ago. I recommend this nursery to all the other parents.

Our daughter has been at Abacus Ark for a year, recently transitioning from the baby room to the toddler room. The nursery is really well run in several regards - the staff are very caring and adaptive to each child’s needs, and the parent communications strike just the right balance (both in terms of feedback at the end of the day and in terms of periodic photo/video updates on the app), and the staff provided helpful advice and reassurance around our child’s move to the toddler room and other development stuff. Most importantly, our child has been very happy!

When my son joined the baby room of Abacus Ark, Kilburn, he was about to turn 1 year old. I was still breastfeeding him and he was all about Mum. He played with peers and relatives but didn't want to eat or sleep with anyone else, not even his dad. Until he met two members of staff! With a lot of perseverance and kindness, they managed to involve him and get him used to the big change: five days at nursery, 8 am to 6 pm. Now he is 19 months old: in the morning he wakes up and hands me his own hat and coat, and points out his pram and door because he loves to go to the nursery. He is able to feed himself, clap and dance. I am a proud mum and thank the nursery’s personnel for giving me the peace of mind I need at work. I know that my baby is in safe hands. He falls sick from time to time, it’s normal, and you will get annoyed as a parent. But it’d be pretty much the same in every nursery. I wouldn’t go back and leave him with a nanny. Even the best nanny cannot compete with all activities they organise.

My child started the nursery at 13 months old and has loved it ever since. There is a great atmosphere and plenty of educational activities. They provide additional classes, such as football, music, drama and yoga.

My daughter has been attending for around a year. It is a lovely nursery with really friendly and caring staff who goes the extra mile to make sure that all the little ones receive the attention they need and feel comfortable. The management are also very nice and understanding. I would highly recommend this nursery!

My son has been at the Abacus Ark Nursery School in Maida Vale for more than a year now. His settling-in period was smooth and the whole team was very warm with him from day one. Although there is no garden/outdoor space, the kids visit the nearby parks on a daily basis and have a variety of activities. There is also a new soft play space opposite the nursery that the kids visit often. Other activities include football, yoga, dancing etc. Every time I pick up my son, he is happy and full of energy. He has learnt a lot and become independent and more confident with the help of his teachers. There is also a calendar via an app that is updated on a daily basis with information on their schedule, food and sleeping habits, pictures from the activities etc. I'm happy with the nursery and the team and would recommend it to other parents.

My son has been at the nursery for a few months now and I'm so happy with it so far! I was quite nervous about him going to nursery and leaving him but the staff really put my mind at ease and have made everything so much easier. I love reading about his day in the diary they provide and I couldn't be happier with how he’s been getting on. All the staff I have met have been amazing and are so helpful too.
