    Two years on it is like a second home to him. Never did I imagine we’d have to weather a pandemic together. The management and team at the childcare centre have been incredible throughout and have adapted so well. Updates throughout the pandemic has been outstanding and the safety but also the emotional well-being of the kids has been a priority. The pandemic aside, the childcare centre provides an incredible inclusive setting for kids to develop and thrive. My son has been attending Abbots Hill Childcare centre since he was 9 months old.

    They consistently offer a range of activities for the kids each day and I’m continually pleased with how attentive they are to the kids. I’m so pleased my son attends Abbot’s Hill childcare centre as he’s consistently super cheerful! I’ve been particularly impressed with how well the childcare centre has dealt with the pandemic this last year, constantly reviewing policy and adapting where needed but consistently putting the safety of kids and parents first! The team at Abbot’s Hill Childcare centre are very expert and attentive towards all the kids.

    Our journey of the childcare centre has been stellar and our son has thrived, both physically and emotionally, in the nurturing and stimulating setting created by the team. We were particularly impressed at the way in which the childcare centre has responded to the challenges caused by the pandemic and have been reassured throughout by the precautions taken to keep everyone healthy. I would not hesitate in recommending the childcare centre to others or sending other kids there. Our son has attended Abbot’s Hill childcare centre since he was a year old.

    At the start, our daughter took some time to settle in and the team were outstanding in making her sense cheerful and comfortable as well as regularly updating me. Now she can’t stop talking about childcare centre, her friends and educators. She is really excited to see everyone each morning! We have seen remarkable development in all aspects educational, developmental and personal with our daughter and hope to send our son too this year! We have been very pleased with the level of care and attention to detail our kid is receiving.

    Our daughter has thrived in this attentive and nurturing setting. The team are so welcoming and compassionate, consistently have time and work collaboratively with us as parents.
    Not once has our daughter not wanted to go to childcare centre and she speaks so excitedly about her day when we pick her up.
    Our other daughter starts at the end of the year and we can’t wait to see her delight in everything her sister has so far. Well done to everyone at Abbot’s for making this such a fantastic little community. This is a fantastic childcare centre and we couldn’t suggest it more highly.

    Choosing Abbots Hill Day Childcare centre was by far the best decision we made. Our girl, who has been in stepping up for almost a year, has come leaps and bounds and the team are consistently welcoming and consistently smiling. We were ecstatic when a space became available for our son to join footsteps and at drop off he walks in and goes about his childcare centre day as if it’s his second home so I know he is cheerful there. The childcare centre management are also a remarkable team and again consistently available to help with any questions/ advice needed. Being able to see how my kids spend their day and how they are developing according to the EYFS via the online app is also a huge plus and allows us to focus on specific areas at home. I cannot suggest this childcare centre enough. We moved our daughter from her previous setting as I just wasn’t cheerful with the structure in place for ‘discovering and development’.

    She has loved her time here and we couldn’t be happier. All the team are expert, attentive and you can tell they really delight in working with the kids. We can’t suggest Abbot’s Hill Childcare centre enough. We adore this childcare centre, my daughter is in Stepping Up now and we will be so so sad to leave the childcare centre.

    The team, at all levels, are compassionate, supportive and put the welfare and happiness of the kid ahead of all.
    My daughter has some additional movement needs, which the team are consistently considerate of, building her self‑assurance and offering in-depth and careful feedback to me. This has been incredibly supportive and made home/school consistency incredibly easy.
    The facilities are outstanding and team are consistently making improvements to ensure the best possible journey and outcomes for each kid. My daughter is excited to go to childcare centre in the morning. I would highly highly suggest Abbots Hill to any parent. This is an outstanding childcare centre.

    I have consistently found the team extremely expert, highly customer focused and willing to offer help and advice. They are all to a person constantly thinking and working for the best interests of the kids in their care.
    I particularly like and appreciate the time they set aside at collection time to discuss with each parent/relative face to face the activities, mood, eating behaviour and assistance offered that day or session. This is further supported and supplied with a hand over sheet.
    I can honestly say that every member of team and management I have met or spoken to are highly expert in their approach to kid care.
    The site itself is, without doubt, the best-equipped childcare centre I have come across.
    I would highly suggest this childcare centre to any parent. I am the grandfather of a kid at this childcare centre and deliver and collect him on a regular basis.

    I would 100% suggest this childcare centre to other parents. Our daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at childcare centre and we adore seeing updates on her discovering journal throughout the day.

    The team are all fantastic and consistently cheerful to see her, the childcare centre itself is consistently spotless and we only ever get smiles from our daughter when dropping her off. We adore receiving updates on her development and are so pleased with how far she has come along since she started. The updates with parents is excellent and we are encouraged to tell the team what she has been doing at the weekends so they can talk to her about her experiences and practice any new achievements when going back on Monday. The meals provided by the lovely cook are consistently nutritious and healthy, security is great and the team clearly delight in their roles. We couldn’t be happier and would highly suggest every aspect of Abbot’s Hill Childcare centre! We are absolutely thrilled with how well our daughter has settled in to Abbot’s Hill Childcare centre.

    I’m so glad we got space for her as it was fully booked when we moved into the area. She enjoys playing with her little friends and enjoys the ballet and music classes. The garden is beautifully looked after and secure to playtime there. My daughter loves this childcare centre.

    The team are consistently welcoming and genuinely care. My son has been going to this childcare centre since the age of 6 months and he is now just a little over 2 and I have never had any issues. The parents evenings are informative and really give the parents a chance to discuss development, and the updates on the app as well as the pictures make parents sense they are missing less of those special moments and have regular updates of how their kid is progressing. This childcare centre maintains an outstanding level of kid care, offers a nutritious and varied menu, encourages as much outdoor playtime as possible and really celebrates different events and cultures across the board.

    Our daughter loves attending and we really delight in hearing updates about her day and looking at pictures of her engaging in different activities and happily interacting with the team. Updates from the childcare centre has consistently been outstanding. Settling in was a bit different for us due to lockdown but childcare centre team really made the effort to get to know our daughter and she settled in really quickly which is a credit to the team and their nurturing yet personalised approach. Thank you for all that you do! We are so pleased that we found Abbot’s.

    All activities, standard of teaching and professionalism outstanding. Very cheerful with my kid’s welfare and development and would thoroughly suggest the Childcare centre. Members of team genuinely care and are diligent and efficient in everything they do. The way the childcare centre and all team have worked and handled Covid lockdown conditions selflessly is beyond outstanding! Well done and thank you to all. Standard of care and compassion exemplary.

    We were so pleased with the level of care my daughter received when she attended 2016 – 2020, so we were really cheerful that we managed to secure a place for my son. He has settled in so well and runs into childcare centre smiling and laughing. It really does have a ‘family’ sense. The range of facilities is stellar and he enjoys all of the activities the team work so hard to offer. His walking, speech and eating have all come on ‘leaps and bounds’ since starting in September. My son recently joined the childcare centre.

    The team are stellar, they have got to know our daughter so quickly, their updates is excellent – they will call about any concerns, email response is very speedy, and they give a nice update at the end of the day. Our daughter speaks so fondly of her key worker (our extended family even know about her). The team have picked up on development areas well, and that one on one advice and attention is impressive when they are managing many kids. I cannot suggest Abbot’s Hill childcare centre enough, the playtime activities are varied and the kids go for walks in the impressive grounds. The picture updates during the week are so fantastic. My daughter joined Abbot’s Hill childcare centre a few months ago after we moved to the area and comes home so cheerful, talking about her enjoyable day.

    My daughter has been attending the childcare centre since January this year and we couldn’t be happier with every area within the childcare centre and the care provided.

    They provide outstanding care for my daughter. They have helped so much with her development and suggest activities we can do at home. I drop her each morning knowing she is going to have a enjoyable-filled day in a secure attentive setting. I could not suggest this childcare centre highly enough.

    All the team are welcoming, expert and experts in their field, dedicated to the kids’s welfare and development. My little boy is so cheerful at the childcare centre and consistently excited to go. We are very lucky to have a childcare centre of this quality. I couldn’t be happier with Abbott’s Hill childcare centre.
