About this London Nursery

Description

Abacus Ark Southfields is a family-run nursery providing exceptional childcare and early years education for children aged 6 months to 5 years.

Opening in early 2027, our beautiful new purpose-designed nursery on Pirbright Road will offer a warm, home-from-home environment where children feel safe, valued and inspired to learn. Guided by our unique FIRST Steps curriculum and Reggio Emilia-inspired approach, we nurture curiosity, independence, resilience and confidence through engaging, play-based learning.

Ideally located just a short walk from Southfields Underground Station, our nursery is perfectly placed for busy families. Children will benefit from three dedicated outdoor gardens, providing exciting opportunities for exploration, active play and outdoor learning every day. We're also just a short walk from Coronation Gardens, allowing children to enjoy regular visits to one of Southfields' beautiful green spaces and further connect with nature and their local community.

With inspiring learning spaces, nutritious meals prepared by our in-house chefs, and a passionate team of early years professionals, we're committed to giving every child the very best start in life and preparing them for a successful transition to school.
