February 4, 2022 at 12:00 amSo happy I chose this nursery for my little boy, he is very happy here. Enjoys lots of fun activities. He has allergies and they are so careful which was very reassuring. The staff are all so lovely and kind. I get regular updates and pictures, via their app too which is nice, while I’m at work.

February 4, 2022 at 12:00 amI have complete peace of mind, knowing my child is safe and happy at nursery! He runs in and has thrived since starting. Being a baby born in March 2020 lockdown, he was very reserved. Now he is a happy social little boy! All the staff are friendly and go above and beyond to help.
I love how I am told each time I pick him up, how he has been and what he has enjoyed. Also, he has been difficult to feed and they always ensure he has something he enjoys. I’m very glad we chose this nursery for him and will be sending his sister when she is ready also!

February 4, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been attending The Abbey for three months and we are so impressed with the staff, the facilities, activities and meals provided for the children. It is a pleasure speaking with the team who are so caring and genuinely interested in the children and who go out of their way to make everyone welcome and supported. We are shift workers and the Abbey is so flexible and accommodates our differing childcare needs. Our daughter is so well looked after and we would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to others.

September 7, 2022 at 12:00 amOur two boys have had a wonderful time at The Abbey. The facilities are fabulous, and the staff have been great. There are a huge range of different activities undertaken, and we have also really appreciated the community spirit, including a Saturday morning sports day which was great fun. Communication is open, and there is detailed feedback about both the boys’ progress that I have really appreciated. There is a good focus/mixture between playing and learning, and I feel both my children have really progressed under their care. The environment is safe and loving. The boys seem to love the food and it’s very high quality. The cost is the most reasonable I’ve seen in the area and is good value. I would recommend The Abbey to anyone looking for a high-quality nursery for their children.

November 10, 2022 at 12:00 amI couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. The staff are fantastic, extremely friendly and very welcoming, not to mention being very dedicated to the children. Our child has developed so much whilst being at the Abbey. She loves going in and even if she has a morning where she’s not happy the staff reassure her within seconds. The nursery is always spotless and the three meals a day they get are better than what we have at home.

November 10, 2022 at 12:00 amThe Abbey is truly an amazing place. My little one started at just 6 months old, she is now 10 months and she loves it. She always has a smile on her face when I drop her off and always wants to carry on playing when it’s time to go. The whole team there are amazing she gets fabulous meals, breakfast lunch and dinner, she definitely eats them out of house and home. Every meal is spectacular and I’m jealous of the lovely food she has. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds, and I feel extremely comfortable and have no issue in leaving her, knowing full well she will be looked after and I have nothing to worry about. They handle everyone very well and are very informative and keep you up to date with everything. I wouldn’t think twice about sending my child here. Keep up the amazing work you all do.

November 10, 2022 at 12:00 amOur little girl has been going to The Abbey for the last 18 months. She previously spent a few months at a nursery in a different area but moved to The Abbey when our family relocated. I was nervous about moving her to a different nursery and wasn’t sure how she would react but the settling-in process was surprisingly easy, which I think was mainly because the staff were so friendly and welcoming. She absolutely loves her time at The Abbey and as a parent, I am happy to know that she is in such a lovely environment. The staff are very caring and have been great in helping us to guide her through some big life moments such as learning to walk, the arrival of a new sibling and potty training. Her little brother will be starting at The Abbey in a few months and I am comforted to know that he will be in safe hands.

November 10, 2022 at 12:00 amHighly recommend the nursery setting. My child has attended the nursery since he was 1.5 years old; he is now 3.5. In that time, he has really grown in confidence, and he absolutely loves attending, and the staff are attentive, caring and lots of fun. The activities are engaging for the children as well as fun and safe. Yoga is a firm favourite, as well as PE and story time.

November 10, 2022 at 12:00 amAlways friendly and accommodating, allowing me to visit the assistants and room before moving up. Talking us through each progression.
Very compassionate, understanding and supportive of parents.
We love all the photos and reports for home.
It’s great to see our little one developing and learning under their nurturing care and support.

November 10, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending the nursery for the last two years and is very happy in the setting. She has made some great friends and often asks most mornings if she is going to nursery, as she attends two and a half days a week.

November 14, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little girl has attended the nursery since she was 1. She has thrived since being there. The settling-in sessions made me feel comfortable, the staff are so nurturing. She never looks back when I drop her off in the morning and goes in very happy which is so reassuring.
They have a fun-filled day of activities and we get regular updates via their online app. It’s lovely to see what they get up to.
Highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for their child to be in a safe, loving environment.

November 14, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started at nursery later than planned due to the Covid pandemic and was very uncomfortable in new social situations; however, he quickly settled at nursery (much quicker than I thought he would!) and now can’t run in quick enough. The staff at the nursery are all friendly and welcoming and can’t do enough for him. His development has come on so much in the 14 months that he has been there. They also make sure that they keep me involved and that I know what he has been doing and how he has been, which makes me feel that he is being looked after and reassures me that he is happy there.
They provide a great range of activities for all of the children and a clean, safe environment.
I’d have no hesitation in recommending The Abbey Nursery.

November 15, 2022 at 12:00 amOur little girl absolutely loves it here. The staff are amazing and very welcoming! The manager and the rest of the team truly do a fantastic job. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering sending their child to The Abbey! Thank you, guys!

November 16, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son has been attending the nursery since he was 9 months old and is turning 3 next month. We joined right in the middle of the pandemic, and the staff coped with the restrictions so well and still managed to reassure us that all would be ok. He has thrived through attending the nursery, and all of the staff make him feel loved and happy. The management is seamless and flexible, so as a self-employed mum, this is just so valuable. They send lovely updates via an app and share all the activities with us when we pick him up. I would very much recommend The Abbey Nursery to anyone!

November 18, 2022 at 12:00 amThe ladies are very caring and supportive, during a stressful and difficult time last month I needed to change a couple of pick-ups for my son, and the staff were accommodating and kind. Thanks all for the fun and learning my boy has.

November 22, 2022 at 12:00 amSince starting the nursery in January my little girl has flourished and is coming on so much. This is due to the amazing activities that they have set out daily and the love that the practitioners show the children. They treat them as if they are their own children.

November 29, 2022 at 12:00 amMy twin boys have settled in well to the nursery since joining in June 2022. They have come on leaps and bounds with their physical development since joining and seem to come home happy and fulfilled. The staff are friendly and caring and I feel at ease knowing they are being cared for well.

January 16, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son attends this nursery and has been going for 6 months, he has come on leaps and bounds with his learning and development and that is down to the staff that look after him and the facilities that the nursery has to offer. My son is really happy when I drop him off and pick him up and if he is unsettled, the staff members will send pictures, once he is settled, via the app so I know that he is okay, which puts my mind at rest. I get monthly observations and updates too. If he is unwell or has had a bump, the nursery will call me to let me know, communication is brilliant. The manager is really supportive of my son’s individual needs and is really easy to chat to. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

June 15, 2023 at 12:00 amIf you are reading this then you are probably looking for a nursery. My advice would be to go and see The Abbey Nursery School. Have a look around and I mean look. Their walls are full of information for parents as well as being child-based displays. Their management team are great, I say this because I get the feeling that the staff all communicate well together, creating a good, positive buzz which is fantastic for the kids. My kid asks to go on the weekend he loves it that much. Their food is very varied and I’m amazed by how much my kid tries there. So many tastes and textures. I have found that the communication with the app is brilliant. I get updates on what’s happening when, such as walk to nursery week, which day show and tell is happening along with PE days and Yoga days etc. My fridge is full of artwork and activities done at The Abbey. My kid was at another nursery originally and I didn’t realise how lacking in effort and care it was until I moved them to The Abbey. Go see it.

June 27, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending since she was seven months, she has come such a long way since then and she has such a good time in the nursery. The staff are amazing with her and have got such a strong bond. Every time I enter the nursery there’s a lovely smell and amazing staff greeting you.
