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, joined the nursery, and in 1981, they opened The Toddlers Inn Nursery School in St. John's Wood, North West London.
Laura's son, Anthony, who attended Toddlers Inn Nursery School, 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 love and attention your baby receives from their responsive care-givers is essential for their development, and provides them with the warm comfort and sense of security they deserve. Happy times in their earliest years will shape them for a lifetime. Our Happy Family Guarantee gives your family the flexibility you need.
Your toddler learns through play-based activities like sorting, storytime, and scribbling. Our Happy Family Guarantee means you can take two weeks to decide if this is the right home-away-from-home for your toddler. Take this two-week settling-in period to make the most informed decision possible. Limited-access entryways, privacy fences and surveillance cameras keep your child safe at all times in our care.
Your child flourishes with the materials and guidance they need to make sense of their environment. Through self-led, play-based activities, they start grasping the fundamentals of maths, science and literacy. Your child is gently encouraged to take steps towards their independence as they learn in collaborative group settings.
Qualified and experienced teachers pay close attention to your child's learning progress, ensuring they've mastered academic skills like pre-writing, reading, maths and science, so they're as prepared as possible for starting school. Your child develops the practical life skills they need to become independent and tackle future challenges.

We were very fortunate to get into this garden! We were looking for a nursery during the lockdown period and most nurseries did not let go inside, and how can you choose a nursery? When I met and made a virtual tour of the nursery Abacus Ark(Maida Vale), my heart suggested me that it was the one. After communicating with all the nurseries around, I can say with accuracy, in this nursery your child will be in good hands! There is very clean, teachers are just wonderful: caring, kind, creative and positive! Despite the fact that they do not have its own territory outside, they are constantly walking
