August 28, 2015 at 12:00 amI was nervous about leaving my baby for the first time at nursery. However the staff were so lovely and made such an effort to her settle and reassure me. They have a number of experienced staff who are mums which makes such a difference. I’m so pleased with the care my baby receives at Abacus day nursery. They have such a variety of activities daily and as it’s a bilingual day nursery she’s learning a second language too. Gold star for Abacus.

March 3, 2016 at 12:00 amThis nursery was fabulous with my daughter who at the time was 7mths old. The staff here were so welcoming and my daughter settled here in no time even though I only needed childcare for 4 weeks whilst I finished uni. The food is made on site and my daughter loved it, they also kept a diary of what she’d eaten through the day and nappy changes etc which I got to read at home. The staff are really friendly and made me feel at ease as I was very apprehensive leaving my baby at a young age, they were very understanding when I rang everyday to check on her!
I would definitely use this nursery again… 5 star rating from me.

March 6, 2017 at 12:00 amI wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abacus to other parents. My son has been with the nursery since he was 11 months old. I’m wholly confident in the care he receives, the surroundings he is in, nor can I rate staff highly enough. Communication between nursery and parents is excellent, all meaning that it’s one less parenting worry!

February 24, 2020 at 12:00 amMy second child is now at Abacus and I couldn’t have picked a better nursery. The staff are amazing and very caring, you can tell that they love seeing the children grow up and learning with them. The activities and learning are brilliant and they always think of innovative ideas for new ways of learning.

March 23, 2021 at 12:00 amA top-class nursery. Not only does our son feel happy and safe, but his interests, talents and traits are also identified and embraced. All staff in all rooms have the perfect balance of a warm nature with professionalism. Our child thrived during their time at Abacus, which is a credit to the environments, morals, structure and ethics enforced consistently.

May 4, 2021 at 12:00 amAbsolutely fantastic nursery. I was a bit apprehensive about sending my little son to nursery for the first time after being at home for his first 16 months but the staff were very professional, friendly, and personable and answered all our questions, and were very comforting and reassuring, especially as we were unable to look around due to Covid restrictions. They have a variety of activity rooms and facilities such as a garden, soft play, and sensory rooms for the children to explore and enjoy. They do lots of fun and educational activities throughout the day and have been very proactive in trying to meet all my child’s needs. After missing my child all day, I very much look forward to getting the daily report back in both written form and verbally off staff as it gives us an insight into all the lovely, fun, and educational activities he’s done during the day as well as all the deliciously healthy, homemade food he’s enjoyed. I would fully recommend this nursery.

May 4, 2021 at 12:00 amFantastic bilingual nursery and preschool. The staff are extremely caring, professional and give great daily feedback. Abacus Day Nursery clearly invest in their team. A lot of thought goes into activity planning to give the little ones a great day. I can’t recommend highly enough.

May 10, 2021 at 12:00 amAbacus is a fantastic nursery. I was nervous to send my son to nursery for the first time during lockdown a year ago but the staff were absolutely fantastic, he has grown in confidence, language skills and has loved going there! The staff are friendly, approachable and have always been more than happy to answer any questions or worries I have had. Would definitely recommend!

May 14, 2021 at 12:00 amAn absolutely fantastic nursery which my two little girls love attending. It’s almost like a second family! They are always talking about what they do there and the amazing staff that care for them and their faces light up whenever we chat about what they’re learning at Abacus. The staff are brilliant and pay such attention to every tiny detail of our girls’ well-being and development. If you’re looking for first-class daycare in Swansea then look no further than Abacus. You will not be disappointed.

May 24, 2021 at 12:00 amMy three children went to Abacus Day Nursery and have all been very happy there. My 3-year-old loves playing with her friends and is very happy with the staff. The best things are the wonderful staff and huge range of enjoyable activities. These range from meeting dogs and tortoises to playing in the garden, soft play and messy play. The kids love getting messy and babies especially learn a lot I think. I’ve been impressed by the range of nutritious food which has helped with new food at home. The staff are absolutely lovely, flexible and have been extremely supportive during the pandemic. I would highly recommend!

May 24, 2021 at 12:00 amSo happy with this nursery. I was concerned about my little one starting as he’d not had the opportunity to mix with others due to the pandemic. I needn’t have worried as the staff are so kind and reassuring, emailing me photos regularly and always giving lots of feedback at the end of his session. They know the children so well, it’s like a big family. Such a variety of activities and healthy eating too. Gold star to Abacus Day Nursery.

May 24, 2021 at 12:00 amThank you very much for looking after our son. We are delighted with how well and quickly he has settled. We were pleased to hear that you had space for him as we knew that Abacus Day Nursery is a popular choice. I’m almost tempted to put him in more days as he seems to enjoy it so much. You can offer activities that we just don’t have the imagination resources or patience for. It’s so reassuring to see that he recognises and likes the close number of nursery nurses that care for him, there are very few nurseries that have their staff on permanent contracts! Thank you.

June 7, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son and daughter have both attended Abacus and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The nursery is warm and welcoming and the staff friendly but professional. They ensure the children undertake a wide range of activities and are provided with a range of healthy home-cooked foods. It’s never easy entrusting your children’s care to someone else but Abacus make it easier knowing they are well cared for.

July 6, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son loved going to Abacus Day Nursery and has improved a lot since. The staff there are very caring, approachable and professional. I am very pleased with this nursery and would highly recommend them!

July 7, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves going to nursery and gets very excited to go, she loves her teachers and has lots of fun. She is vegetarian, which was a worry for me initially but has been no problem as she is given a variety of nice food. My daughter is thriving at Abacus Day Nursery and is always learning something new and is very happy.

July 21, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little boy loves going to nursery! Without fail he runs out the door with a smile on his face every time I pick him up. I feel my child is safe and in good hands and feel at ease leaving him there whilst I go to work. My son has developed so much going to Abacus especially with his talking! I find it great that he’s learning as well as having fun. The nursery emails you with any updates and newsletters of the month with any topics that the children will be learning, which I love to read and find out what their room will be up to. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough and definitely wouldn’t want my little boy to go anywhere else! Thank you Abacus for continuing to take care of my boy.

November 19, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been going to nursery for just under a year, he loves it, you can tell how amazing the nursery is for children. He is confident in different playgroups and always willing to dance to nursery rhymes knowing all the actions.

November 19, 2021 at 12:00 amLovely staff! My little boy has excelled since starting in all development areas! His speech and social skills were next to none when we started and they have helped me in making him a clever confident little boy, and he always comes out with a smile on his face and is excited about all the great activities they get up to! Very supportive of anxious parents as well. I used to call all times of the day and they would always reassure me with how he was.

November 22, 2021 at 12:00 amMy 2-year-old boy started in March 2021, he really struggled at first, mostly because of lockdown and all the restrictions and his world had just been us and our home. The staff have been fantastic with him and have really contributed in building his confidence and really bringing him out of his shell. He really is a different child from what he was back in March. He loves going, loves the staff and the activities he takes part in and loves the food so much, he usually has 2 helpings! Haha. Highly recommended!

November 29, 2021 at 12:00 amLovely nursery with wonderfully caring staff. My child enjoys all the activities and the outdoor area. The food is lovely and the room is clean. This nursery was recommended to me by a friend and I would highly recommend it to others.

December 22, 2021 at 12:00 amAbacus is a wonderful nursery for my child. Its staff are well trained as well as caring and my child has come on in their development enormously thanks to their nurture and activities. We have felt assured throughout the pandemic with safety measures in place for all staff, children, and carers.

February 2, 2022 at 12:00 amAll the staff have been absolutely amazing at Abacus Day Nursery to help get my son settled in. They keep me updated with what he has done and reassure me I can call and check on him throughout the day. I’m really pleased I picked this nursery, I would highly recommend.

February 2, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child started here in September and he absolutely loves it. It only took him a week to settle in which I was surprised yet relieved about. He has come on so much since being there. The staff are very welcoming and always so lovely with him. I would definitely recommend this nursery!

March 21, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child is happy to attend Abacus. They are provided with many different experiences and encouraged to try new things. The staff are polite and will explain in more detail about the tasks my child has taken part in if asked. Any concerns are dealt with as soon as possible.

March 21, 2022 at 12:00 amAbacus have proven and shown that they care for my child, as he loves his school, Abacus sends out updates and daily reports of my child and what he has been up to, with accurate and true information, which is something I love. Thank you.

March 21, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter recently started at Abacus, she already loves going to nursery and is so happy to see her already regular nursery nurses. Never had any issues with the nursery, the staff are friendly and tell me I can call anytime to check on my daughter. The parent portal is great and such a reassurance for me that she is okay throughout the day. I’m really happy with my decision to send her to abacus and this makes me feel more settled for the dreaded return to work because I know she is in safe hands at abacus. I’d definitely recommend this nursery!

March 21, 2022 at 12:00 amMy 3-year-old boy has attended the nursery since January 2022 and since he has joined his development has massively improved. The staff are warm and friendly and always takes time to inform us how his day has been. Lovely and clean inside and lots of activities for children to do. Highly recommended.

July 1, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child loves going to this nursery and I can see the change in his confidence. The staff are always polite, friendly and professional. I love being able to view what my son is doing throughout the day via the portal and his day is full of different activities.

July 1, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little girl started at Abacus Day Nursery around 6 months ago, she absolutely loves going to Nursey she can’t get through the door quick enough in the morning. Her speech and development has been amazing since starting. All the staff are so lovely and always happy to help.

July 1, 2022 at 12:00 amStaff are constantly trying to help my daughter thrive in all aspects. Supporting me and her with potty training especially. Always contact if any issues or if she is acting out of character etc. Always able to call to check in and have the parent portal for updates if unable to call.

October 10, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little girl likes coming to Abacus and has bonded well with the other children. I do however have to point out that standards seem to be dropping and the staff turnover is concerning in a nursery environment. It is a good nursery overall but I would like to see improvements as it could be better.

October 10, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Abacus since July and the difference in her has been incredibly positive, her confidence has grown immensely and her development too. I can tell she has built some lovely relationships with the girls in her room, and with her key worker in particular. I love how we have the app which I can check in on what she has been doing during her session and also the photos they upload of her doing various activities are a joy to see.

October 12, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son settled into the nursery quickly thanks to the friendly staff. He is becoming more independent and enjoying his time more each time he attends. We couldn’t ask for a better nursery. Thank you, Abacus!

October 12, 2022 at 12:00 amWe travel from out of the area to bring our second child to Abacus after our experience with our first child attending was so wonderful. The staff at Abacus are caring and professional and have the children’s best interests at heart. Over the past 4 years, we have been pleased to see continuous improvement of the great facilities. Both of our children have enjoyed their time and Abacus and I highly recommend them.

October 12, 2022 at 12:00 amAbacus have been really welcoming to us as a family just starting the back-to-work and nursery journey. All the staff are really friendly and welcoming, the updating of the online journal is brilliant, the food they serve is really varied and balanced with different nutritious and tasty food and an absolute bonus is my boy loves his time there. We are so glad we chose Abacus.

December 13, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughters have both been at Abacus since they were young babies. The staff are all excellent and adapt to the nature of the children. They encourage independence as children get older, which increases their confidence. The girls both look forward to going to see their friends, the staff and of course the delicious food!
