Abacus Ark Nursery School Maida Vale

Both my sons went to Abacus Ark and they have been very well looked after by the very caring team of staff. They both enjoyed their time there and most importantly, we felt that they were safe 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 children for school really well so they both had no problems transitioning into big school. Thank you to the staff for their dedication and kindness!

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

We absolutely love Abacus Ark Nursery! They are doing an amazing job with our son. His day is full of new and exciting activities that promote his happiness and progress. They are also amazing in keeping us updated with posts on a private app about their activities. These small notifications during the day are great, especially during the integration phase, to see how happy they are and to get inspired by their amazing work. The communication with parents regarding any issue with the baby is also very efficient and they always made an effort to accommodate parents’ requests. I would definitely highly recommend Abacus Ark to any family and friends! Keep going with your amazing work! Thank you!

My son has been attending Abacus Ark Nursery for over two years, and he is so happy there it feels like a second home. Many thanks to all the staff for their hard work, love, dedication, and patience with the children. All of them are so welcoming, hospitable and well-disposed. I am happy 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 good 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 helpful in preparing children for life and for school! I highly recommend this happy and wonderful environment!

My daughter was in this nursery’s 2-3 year group. The 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 child. We had to leave due to a location issue but I highly recommend this nursery and appreciate everything the staff have done for my daughter. Although they don’t have their own garden, they took children out on daily basis to parks nearby and my daughter loves it. They also have a dedicated soft play spot where they organised parties for family and the location is very clean and well organised. Lots of activities for parents to join if you want to be more involved. So again, highly recommend, thank you for everything!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
