In a Family Environment With A Long-Term Commitment To Children

Three Generations Start Your Child’s Path To Future Success

Abacus Ark was founded in 1971 by Angela Carrington in a small room attached to a Church on Harley Street. In 1981, her daughter, Laura, came to work at the nursery. In 1981, they opened Toddlers Inn Nursery School in St. John’s Wood, North West London. 

Laura’s son, Anthony, attended Toddlers Inn Nursery School and then went on to study at Durham University, where he earned his bachelor’s and a master’s in mathematics before beginning a successful finance career. 

During a spell of volunteering at Toddlers Inn, Anthony decided to leave his career to begin Abacus Ark with his mother. The duo has been delivering quality early childhood experiences ever since.
