October 14, 2019 at 12:00 amAbacus have been amazing. The team have looked after our little girl perfectly and prepared her for the reception class at school. It’s a lovely home from home atmosphere and the outdoor space is great.

January 31, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter started nursery at 4 months old, she suffers from reflux so can be a handful to settle. Abacus have adapted to her amazingly, supported us in getting her reflux under control and made us feel like part of the nursery family from day one. Considering the age of our daughter and the complexity of her needs we are over the moon with the care provided and are looking forward to the years to come. Our daughter is offered home-cooked meals blended up for weaning, lots of activities even at her young age.
Thank you Abacus!!

January 31, 2020 at 12:00 amAs a first time mother, I was very anxious about leaving my child at a daycare and getting back to work. Abacus helped and ensured they accommodated my timings and helped me reassure he was in safe hands. Our son loves and enjoys the nursery I have always been at peace even on days he isn’t in the best of moods he will be taken care off.
The day is filled with multiple activities and he enjoys them thoroughly the staff is very friendly and caring. I would recommend this nursery. And yes they are very supportive with additional days and schedule changes.

February 27, 2020 at 12:00 amTo have to go back to work full time with no support structure is extremely nerve-racking, however, I have had complete comfort at leaving my son at Abacus from day 1. They have been amazing with him and the support we have received. They are all always so friendly and willing to give my little boy cuddles. My son has grown leaps and bounds since he started. He loves school and it makes us so happy. I cannot speak highly enough about this amazing school and wonderful staff.

March 17, 2020 at 12:00 amSince our son has been at the nursery, he has thrived. He is supported with his emotional needs and since a recent diagnosis, his health needs have been supported immeasurably. When discussing the diagnosis, the first thing his keyworker said was ‘how can we help?’ Thank you!

March 17, 2020 at 12:00 amThis nursery is excellent, our daughter goes for 3 days a week and absolutely loves it. She has thrived since starting at 9 months old. Her confidence has grown and her vocabulary has come on massively. She has made lots of friends is always talking about them and her keyworker even when she hasn’t been. Would highly recommend to others.

March 17, 2020 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery and staff!
Our daughter started at this nursery in January 2019. It was difficult to leave her but the staff were fantastic with her settling in sessions, very caring and supportive putting us both at ease. She loves going to nursery and often mentions the staff when at home. Her keyworker has been fantastic, very friendly and easy to talk to as are all the staff members. The app is great for keeping you regularly updated with what your child has been doing throughout the day, what they’ve eaten, what sleep they’ve had and the excellent activities they’ve taken part in, the photos we get show us just how much she’s enjoying herself. The meals they are given are healthy and homemade, our daughter often eats seconds. Activities are fun and varied, the active music sessions and French with madame are a particular favourite hers.

August 18, 2020 at 12:00 amI cannot thank Abacus enough for all they have done to continue looking after my little boy throughout all of lockdown. As a key worker myself, the service that was provided was invaluable, allowing me to continue going to work. A particular big thanks must go to three members of staff in particular who kept things going through what was a hard time for everyone. You are all stars and deserve every bit of recognition and thanks you receive.

August 18, 2020 at 12:00 amWe are exceptionally grateful to Abacus Nursery for taking our son in at the last minute when his original nursery was unable to support key workers. Our son has the best time at the nursery and loves the variety of activities and food. His skills have jumped ahead in recent months since his start date in March. He bangs on the car window, points and gets excited nearly every time we pull up to nursery. The staff are also incredible with him, exceptionally friendly and supportive.

August 28, 2020 at 12:00 amOur little boy absolutely loves his time at Abacus. He has only recently started but has very quickly settled in. The staff gave been really welcoming and the facilities really help him investigate and plat at his own pace, but develop at the same time. He comes home each day really content and tired from the day’s activities. The meals provided have really helped him try a wider variety of finger foods, in particular, and he has been less fussy with fruits!

October 9, 2020 at 12:00 amJust want to say Abacus is indeed a well-kept secret in Newbury. I started taking my daughter there in July and I have seen her develop so quickly. She is happy, social and able to interact well with others. She’s had lots of diet restrictions due to allergies and the team have been very accommodating and helpful to ensure she still gets healthy and nutritious allergen-free meals. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I will recommend if you live or work in the area – or if you need to use their services. Thanks to all the team.

November 18, 2020 at 12:00 amAbacus Nursery is the best nursery I have ever sent my children to. The staff are very dedicated, committed and approachable and nothing is ever too much trouble. They are very child centred at Abacus Nursery and have shown real compassion and understanding about my child’s individual needs. The staff are always smiley and the communication between the nursery and parents is amazing. My son loves attending the nursery and his development has skyrocketed since attending there. They always carry out loads of activities and learning experiences with the kids and I really can’t find anything to fault them on.

November 20, 2020 at 12:00 amAbacus Nursery is amazing. Communication is great and they are very dedicated and very approachable – they have been amazing with helping me sort out my son’s next steps. And are always happy to accommodate any changes we need to make. They are always smiling and ready to help – and have the children’s best interests and individual needs at heart. My son loves being here!

March 23, 2021 at 12:00 amChoosing a nursery for our daughter during a pandemic was extremely hard, understandably restrictions meant that we were only able to meet 1 member of staff and view the facilities after hours. I felt that I was handing my child over to perfect strangers without seeing how they interact with other children. However, we met the nursery manager and saw the facilities available and decided to go ahead and secure a place. After 2 x 2-hour settling sessions, our daughter started 3 days a week at the beginning of March 2021, this is a child whose entire life has been subject to social restrictions and not overly socialised! Within 3 weeks she was reaching out for the staff at the door and happily being handed over, the team in the Nest (under 2s) have been so compassionate and understanding that the transition going back to work, which gave me sleepless nights, has been so much easier than I could have imagined. I am so happy with our decision and thankful for the staff.

May 10, 2021 at 12:00 amWe were very apprehensive about sending our little boy to nursery with him being a ‘lockdown baby’ as he’d never been left alone with anyone other than ourselves and his nanny. All the staff at the nursery were so understanding and ensured that we were supported all throughout the transition period, and did everything they could to help us feel comfortable whilst we worked with them to get him settled in. Communication is great, and we are kept updated on his progress every step of the way. The app is fantastic and a great way to keep parents up to date throughout the day, without the need to call in and check how the little ones are doing in the beginning! He has now been at the nursery for nearly two months and really enjoying it. We have noticed that since attending nursery his social skills and speech are coming on in leaps and bounds and his confidence is building every day! We are so pleased with the care provided by all the staff, and really couldn’t be happier!!

October 13, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter loves going to nursery here and it’s clear to us how beneficial to her development attending has been. The staff are all really lovely, caring, and helpful; the nursery manager particularly has gone out of their way to be very helpful to us and our daughter absolutely adores her key people.

July 18, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child loves coming here, she has a great time and always goes in with a big smile on her face. Everyone who works at the nursery is so friendly and welcoming. I love receiving the updates throughout the day showing what activities they have been doing.

February 3, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son absolutely loves this nursery, he is always so happy to go in and the staff are so warm and welcoming. They send out regular updates throughout the day which is great to see. The activities they get up to are very varied and the food they are given is always very nutritious and they are really respectful of diet preferences. Management have always been very responsive in emails and very helpful.
