Our priority is that our children are safe, happy and are confident to explore and learn. We're privileged to play such an important role in your children's lives and we view each child as unique. This is why Abacus is a nursery you can count on. Abacus has a range of engaging areas to ensure we encourage the development of skills in all areas.
These include construction, sound, exploration, creative and many more. We strongly believe children develop more effectively through active learning, to be mentally and physically stimulated by objects, people and events. For children aged between 0 - 60 months, we're well equipped to provide support and learning for those important developmental years.

Services
100% of our staff hold the minimum qualification required by Ofsted to be solely responsible for children (level 3 nursery nurses), with many more having level 4 qualifications, others with degrees, teacher status for the early years and additional qualifications in management and health and safety.
All of our indoor and outdoor areas have been tailored to ensure we encourage the development of skills for children across a range of ages. From standard learning such as numbers and literacy to creative to relaxing areas. The early years are some of the most important in how a child learns about the world around them.
All play rooms (as well as the outside) have designated activity areas, encouraging skills in all areas of development within the EYFS. These activity areas include: creative/messy, mark making and early writing, literacy, numbers and reasoning, role play, construction, making sounds, the natural world/investigations, sand and water and relaxing/cosy areas.
Each baby/child who attends nursery will be allocated a key carer - a member of staff in their room who is responsible for their key children's overall well-being and development and sharing any relevant information with the child's parents, carers or professionals.
Key carers are responsible for ensuring that there is a strong, respectful partnership between all those involved with every child and that they form caring and supportive attachments to their key children.In addition to this, we also operate a 'buddy system'; every child is also assigned a 'buddy', who is their second key carer, who will assume the role of the key carer.

We have been awarded an updated 'Eat Better, Do Better' award from the Children's Food Trust, which involved us incorporating comprehensive criteria into our menu. We have two cooks, who between them, cover a full day, five days per week. They cook/prepare breakfast, lunch and tea and morning and afternoon snacks.

We’ve been lucky enough to have had 3 of our kids attend Abacus since 2015. The nursery truly deserves its “outstanding” rating.
The whole team from the cleaners and cooks to the management and of course the nursery staff are excellent.
The kids learn and grow all the way through in a safe and friendly environment. Especially during CV-19 their care, passion and professionalism has come to the fore.
It is a great preparation for school and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
