Individualised Assessments Ensure School Readiness
Qualified and experienced teachers pay close attention to your child’s progress and ensure they’ve mastered academic skills like pre-writing, reading, maths, and science. Your child’s school readiness begins here!
Practical Life Skills Teach Independence
Your child develops the practical life skills they need to become independent and tackle future challenges. From tidying up and washing their hands to playing and sharing with others, they build skills that increase their sense of self-esteem and responsibility.
Strong Parent Partnerships Provide Family Support
Bring any questions or concerns to your dedicated Parent Experience Manager. Their tasks include ensuring your family’s needs are met, addressing issues promptly, and providing whole-family support.
Support Your Child's Success In These Unique Ways:
An osteopath makes sure your child's growth is on track and connects them with other health services to address possible developmental lags.
An active parent business community gives you a network for personal and professional support.
Parent-teacher meetings 4 times a year target learning milestones and areas for improvement, ensuring your child is on the path to school readiness.
The Happy Family Guarantee Gives You The Time You Need
A Happy Family Guarantee provides a 2-week trial period to make sure that school is the right choice for your family. Selecting a preschool should feel relaxed and comfortable, and you and your child should be satisfied with your decision.
A Focus On Safety Protects Your Child
Your child is safe as can be with eagle-eyed teachers keeping a close watch. Tall privacy fences bar street visibility, security cameras monitor the campus, and limited-access entryways ensure your child is in a secure environment.
Eco-Friendly Food Programme Emphasises Healthy Choices
Your child enjoys healthy dye- and preservative-free meals that keep them fueled for playtime and early learning. A zero-waste kitchen programme mitigates environmental impact while teaching conservation and environmental stewardship.
Enrichment Activities Build Mind-Body Connections
Your child learns balance, coordination, and creativity through music, dance, and yoga. Kids love playing team sports like football, where they practice teamwork, build motor skills, and have fun.
Parent Communication App Keeps You Connected Daily
Your child’s day is just a click away, thanks to a mobile app packed with info about their progress and daily learning. Feel like you’re a part of the classroom when you see pictures, videos, and messages about their day.
OFSTED Rating Indicates Exceptional Quality Care
An OFSTED rating of “Good” recognises a high-quality curriculum and experienced teachers. This achievement reinforces a commitment to giving your child the best start possible so they can succeed and thrive.
what parents are saying...
This nursery is simply outstanding, fantastic staff, caring, enthusiastic, my son has been at this nursery for over 1 year and he loves the setting and the staff. He has learnt so much. the setting is a true reflection of a private nursery. The staff are always exceeding expectations above all my son is in a secure, loving environment.
It’s difficult to put into words how outstanding this nursery is. Both my children have been extremely happy at Abacus Ark (3 year age gap). The love, care, fun and nurturing they give to the children is better than you could ever wish for. The teachers genuinely have fun with the children, and each child is nurtured in the way that suits them best.
Prior to Abacus Ark, I had visited a couple of schools in Maida Vale that were deemed to be the best. However, in my opinion, they did not compare to this nursery. The teachers at Abacus Ark are loving, energetic, and work extremely hard to cater to the interests and needs of each child. The teaching is of a high standard and they truly prepare all of the children for the next stage of education – primary school.
Abacus Ark is an excellent nursery. My daughter started when she just turned 1. All the staff made us feel welcome and really good. Her key teachers took time to reassure me because I was worried. My daughter never cried and knew that her teachers would take care of her with smiles and cuddles. She learned and grew a lot with Abacus Ark. She goes to the library, to the park, she has music and dancing classes and now she is a pro at football. I truly recommend this place.
We love Abacus Ark!! For parents.. the staff are amazingly organised, helpful and friendly. Luckily our son feels the same way and can't wait to go! He's progressed so much in just a few months! Can't recommend enough!
I have had both of my children go to this nursery and I'm honestly going to be so upset when they leave. Abacus Ark gives off such a wonderful, loving vibe, every child is looked after and loved like the individuals they are. They are supported by such a wonderful group of staff, with such passion for each of the children. The facilities are great - security is very reassuring and nothing is too much trouble for them. Can't recommend enough.
Our children attended Abacus Ark and we would highly recommend it. It is a very nurturing place with a very dedicated and caring team. The children have great memories from their nursery, where they evolved into confident beings and created great friendships.
My daughter has been at this nursery since 2 years ago. Her home language is not English, so she had an anxious feeling at the beginning stage. However, all the teachers of this nursery are wonderful, professional, not rude and very active with the children. My daughter has good confidence with all the teachers.
Both my daughters have been to Abacus over the last several years and we have always been delighted with every aspect of the nursery. The environment is lovely and there is plenty of outdoor activity in fine weather. The staff are amazing with children and parents and there is a real sense of the children being individually nurtured to build their skills, confidence and esteem.
Abacus Ark has become part of our extended family - seeing the broad smile of the kids when they join their peers and teachers is priceless (!!) There are three things that for me make them unique: (1) the staff, warm and full of energy (2) their support, personally to understand the challenges of rising my multilingual kids, (3) the app they use to feedback you weekly with photos and videos on your kids learning journey - sharing achievements and way to engage with them in order to extend learning at home. It's been already 2 years and so far so good!
Brilliant nursery overall, very warm and welcoming staff that builds an excellent rapport with children. Use of the web app to update parents with comments and photos is a big plus. Shame the nursery does not have its own outdoor space but compensates for this with regular trips to the nearest garden space, parks and libraries. … Overall great, especially the lovely teachers. Good management.
This is a great nursery. My two kids come here and I have been pleased. The value for money is also brilliant compared to local ones. The staff are wonderful and positive. My kids have settled in amazingly and I think this is not only down to their personalities but also how safe and welcome they feel at the nursery. … I think the initiatives with partnering with local businesses such as the gym, library visits etc is also brilliant. Overall, very well done to everyone at Abacus Ark nursery. A big thumbs up.
Excellent staff, wonderful caring environment. My son was happy and confident and always learning. He is now one of the most confident children in his new school.
I am very pleased with the education provided to my daughter. It was very wholesome, not only academic but also the arts and sports as well as etiquette and boundaries. All of the staff at Abacus Ark, Maida-Vale have always been welcoming and I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to anybody in or around the area.
My daughter is almost 3 years old and has been attending Abacus for the past 6 months. I cant recommend enough. The staff is so welcoming and smiling all the time. They give you great and precise feedback at the end of the day. It feels like a small family. My little one is rushing to go to nursery in the morning and I can feel the progress she has made by listening to her singing all the songs and stories she learns, colours, shapes and independent playing time as well.
