About this London Nursery

Description

Abacus Ark Wandsworth is a warm and inspiring day nursery providing high-quality childcare and early education for children aged 6 months to 5 years within the tranquil Riverside Quarter.

With beautifully designed learning spaces and a caring, experienced team, the nursery provides a safe, nurturing, and homely environment where children are encouraged to explore, grow, and thrive. Strong partnerships with families and a carefully planned settling-in process help children feel secure and confident from the very beginning. Government-funded childcare options are also available for eligible families, supporting the needs of working parents.

The nursery follows a blended pedagogy approach, combining elements of the Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies within the EYFS framework. This child-centred approach promotes independence, creativity, curiosity, and hands-on learning through meaningful play, exploration, and nurturing relationships.

At the heart of the nursery is the Abacus Ark FIRST Steps Curriculum, supporting the development of focus, independence, resilience, social understanding, and trustworthiness. Daily activities are thoughtfully planned around children’s interests, encouraging confidence, creativity, and a genuine love for learning while preparing children for a smooth transition into school.

The nursery offers a largely all-inclusive experience designed to support busy families, with fees covering enriching learning opportunities, extracurricular activities, nappies, wipes, and essential daily care items.

All meals and snacks are provided daily. Children are offered breakfast each morning alongside two healthy snacks throughout the day. Lunch and tea are freshly prepared each day by food partners, Lune & Wild.

Children benefit from daily access to an on-site soft play area, supporting physical development, coordination, and social confidence through active play. Regular outdoor walks and visits to nearby Wandsworth Park also provide opportunities for fresh air, exploration, and outdoor learning experiences.
