Abacus Day Nursery and Pre-School, Newbury | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

We’ve had a great experience with Abacus Day Nursery, I highly recommend it!
Our daughter settled in really easily and she feels very happy and comfortable there. The environment and facilities are great, with lots of space, many toys and a lovely large garden. I was really impressed with the variety of activities the children do every day, from cooking classes to French lessons. Children are very stimulated and have lots of fun!

Choosing a nursery for our daughter during a pandemic was extremely hard, understandably restrictions meant that we were only able to meet 1 member of staff and view the facilities after hours. I felt that I was handing my child over to perfect strangers without seeing how they interact with other children. However, we met Emily, the nursery manager, and saw the facilities available and decided to go ahead and secure a place.
After 2 x 2 hour settling sessions, our Daughter started 3 days a week at the beginning of March 2021, this is a child who’s entire life has been subject to social restrictions and not overly socialised! Within 3 weeks she was reaching out for the staff at the door and happily being handed over, the team in the Nest (under 2s) have been so compassionate and understanding that the transition going back to work, which gave me sleepless nights, has been so much easier than I could have imagined. I am so happy with out decision and thankful for the staff.

Great nursery, my son loves it, he’s been going since he was 1. Happy we chose it and although we now drive all across town to get there we would never think to move him. He has learned lots of things, activities are really interesting, and the food great!
