October 6, 2024 at 9:58 pmThey consistently have been really supportive in every aspect. My son has improved his English super fast and he consistently went to the childcare centre extremely cheerful. We absolutely suggest Abacus to parents who are looking for one who really cares about the little ones. We’re delighted with Abacus and the whole team.

October 15, 2024 at 9:19 amIt is a lovely childcare centre with really welcoming and attentive team who goes the extra mile to make sure that all the little ones receive the attention they need and sense comfortable. The management are also very nice and understanding. I would highly suggest this childcare centre! My daughter has been attending for around a year.

October 23, 2024 at 2:51 amWe were quite apprehensive about his settling-in, but the transition from home to childcare centre was absolutely seamless, thanks to the incredible team at Abacus. Over the three months, he has developed such trusting relations with the team 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 development, so that we can reinforce the same at home. Likewise, the team take on board his learnings at home. As parents, it’s so reassuring to know that he is cheerful, well looked after and has had a fantastic day when we come to pick him up. We have seen our son’s individuality develop and it’s fantastic to see him thriving at Abacus. We sense very well looked after and supported as a family and would highly suggest Abacus Ark. Our son joined Abacus Ark at 12 months old.

November 1, 2024 at 10:09 amBoth boys adore their time with remarkable and attentive educators. Our eldest has just started school and his ability to transfer and thrive is a testament to how his educators have taught. We thoroughly suggest. We have had two kids attend the childcare centre and we are incredibly cheerful with the care provided.

November 11, 2024 at 7:55 amMy son has been at Abacus Nursery for almost one year now. He is so cheerful there, it feels like a second home to him. Every day there is a new activity or journey planned. All the team were fantastic, attentive and so supportive. Our son has consistently been cheerful when arriving at the childcare centre in the morning and when picked up in the morning and when picked up in the evening. He has learned a lot. We sense very lucky that we’ve found such a excellent childcare centre with a great educational setting for kids. First of all, many thanks from the heart, for all your hard work, adore and patience with the kids.

November 21, 2024 at 8:16 pmOur daughter adjusted pretty quickly and soon came to adore going to childcare centre and seeing her educators. 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 educators’ names are heard daily in our house, their songs are sung and we adore hearing tales of forest school adventures or being taught dance and yoga moves they learned. Thankfully our son still attends the childcare centre so this isn’t the end of our Abacus Ark journey. Becoming a parent was an overwhelming, all-encompassing journey and so handing over our precious, quiet, clingy daughter to the baby room three and a half years ago was incredibly hard all round.

November 25, 2024 at 1:28 pmI was quite nervous about him going to childcare centre and leaving him but the team really put my mind at ease and have made everything so much easier. I adore reading about his day in the diary they provide and I couldn’t be happier with how he’s been getting on. All the team I have met have been incredible and are so supportive too. My son has been at the childcare centre for a few months now and I’m so cheerful with it so far!

December 10, 2024 at 10:57 amOn 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 playtime etc. The team are (without exception) super welcoming and our daughter loves her educators. 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 delight in seeing how our little girl is discovering there – from new songs, to colours, words and numbers. I would 100% suggest this childcare centre to any prospective parent. Absolutely adore this place.

January 31, 2025 at 2:27 amThey are doing an incredible job with our son. His day is full of new and exciting activities that promote his happiness and development. They are also incredible in keeping us updated with posts on a private app about their activities. These small notifications during the day are excellent, especially during the integration phase, to see how cheerful they are and to get inspired by their incredible work. The updates with parents regarding any issue with the baby is also very efficient and they consistently made an effort to accommodate parents’ requests. I would definitely highly suggest Abacus Ark to any family and friends! Keep going with your incredible work! Thank you! We absolutely adore Abacus Ark Nursery!

February 1, 2025 at 8:01 pmI 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 team! With a lot of perseverance and kindness, they managed to involve him and get him used to the big change: five days at childcare centre, 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 childcare centre. He is able to feed himself, clap and dance. I am a proud mum and thank the childcare centre’s personnel for giving me the peace of mind I need at work. I know that my baby is in secure 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 childcare centre. I wouldn’t go back and leave him with a nanny. Even the best nanny cannot compete with all activities they organise. When my son joined the baby room of Abacus Ark, Kilburn, he was about to turn 1 year old.

March 2, 2025 at 3:19 amThe 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 kid. We had to leave due to a location issue but I highly suggest this childcare centre and appreciate everything the team have done for my daughter. Although they don’t have their own garden, they took kids out on daily basis to parks nearby and my daughter loves it. They also have a dedicated soft playtime spot where they organised parties for family and the location is very spotless and well organised. Lots of activities for parents to join if you want to be more involved. So again, highly suggest, thank you for everything! My daughter was in this childcare centre’s 2-3 year group.

March 7, 2025 at 1:22 pmThe childcare centre is really well run in several regards – the team are very attentive and adaptive to each kid’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 team provided supportive advice and reassurance around our kid’s move to the toddler room and other development stuff. Most importantly, our kid has been very cheerful! Our daughter has been at Abacus Ark for a year, recently transitioning from the baby room to the toddler room.

March 13, 2025 at 8:21 pmThe team are all incredibly attentive and dedicated, and they go above and beyond to create a warm and nurturing setting.
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 consistently 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 childcare centre – it’s a place where families can come together and meet each other. The team are consistently available to answer questions and provide guidance, and they truly care about the well-being of each kid.
Overall, I would highly suggest Abacus Ark to any family looking for a nurturing and supportive setting for their young kids. It’s been an absolute pleasure! Abacus Ark Nursery School is truly an exceptional place for young kids to grow and learn.

March 22, 2025 at 5:56 pmThey both enjoyed their time there and most importantly, we felt that they were secure 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 kids for school really well so they both had no problems transitioning into big school. Thank you to the team for their dedication and kindness! Both my sons went to Abacus Ark and they have been very well looked after by the very attentive team of team.

April 3, 2025 at 6:48 amOver the last 2 years, he developed a very remarkable bond with the educators, team and his peers. Every time I pick him up from the childcare centre, he would be so excited to tell me all the fantastic things he did that day with his friends and what he learned from his educators. He is consistently excited to come back the next day! We have seen his self‑assurance and character develop over time, with the help of the lovely team from Abacus Ark. He consistently looks forward to show and tell. Abacus Ark has given the kids and the parents a sense of community, with the family brunches, inviting us to their celebration theme parties. we’re consistently updated with my son’s development, discovering 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! Our son has been in Abacus Ark for more than 2 years now and we couldn’t be more cheerful and thankful that we made the decision to choose Abacus Ark as his childcare centre.

April 22, 2025 at 2:58 pmThere is a excellent atmosphere and plenty of educational activities. They provide additional classes, such as football, music, drama and yoga. My kid started the childcare centre at 13 months old and has loved it ever since.
Sidney Frost
April 26, 2025 at 12:49 amMy kid is very cheerful there and has shown significant development in discovering and development since joining Abacus Arch a few months ago. I suggest this childcare centre to all the other parents. The childcare centre team have made an induction to daycare for my little one really nice and in a nurturing and attentive way.
Morgan Holland
April 30, 2025 at 7:38 amHis 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 playtime space opposite the childcare centre that the kids visit often. Other activities include football, yoga, dancing etc. Every time I pick up my son, he is cheerful and full of energy. He has learnt a lot and become independent and more confident with the help of his educators. 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 cheerful with the childcare centre and the team and would suggest it to other parents. My son has been at the Abacus Ark Nursery School in Maida Vale for more than a year now.

June 20, 2025 at 5:37 amThe team is really warm and welcoming with each kid. My daughter who is 2 consistently come back with new childcare centre songs to perform at home.
Even if they don’t have an outdoor space they can ale the opportunity to bring the kids out every day. I can’t suggest it more !! 5stars Abacus is an incredible childcare centre I put all my kids there and all the time had an incredible journey.

June 27, 2025 at 10:17 pmMany thanks to all the team for their hard work, adore, dedication, and patience with the kids. All of them are so welcoming, hospitable and well-disposed. I am cheerful 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 great 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 supportive in preparing kids for life and for school! I highly suggest this cheerful and fantastic setting! My son has been attending Abacus Ark Nursery for over two years, and he is so cheerful there it feels like a second home.
