About this London Nursery

Description

Abacus Ark Earlsfield is a warm and welcoming day nursery providing high-quality childcare and early education for children aged 6 months to 5 years in a nurturing and inspiring environment.

Nestled in the heart of Earlsfield, the nursery offers excellent convenience for working families, located just a short walk from Earlsfield mainline station with quick connections to Clapham Junction and Waterloo. Strong partnerships with families and a carefully planned settling-in process help children feel safe, secure, and confident from the very beginning. Government-funded childcare options are also available for eligible families.

The nursery follows a blended pedagogy approach, combining elements of the Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies within the EYFS framework. This child-centred approach encourages 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, combining structured learning with opportunities for exploration, creativity, and social development while preparing children for a confident 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.

Thoughtfully designed indoor learning spaces provide children with opportunities to build confidence, resilience, and independence through engaging, personalised learning experiences where every child feels seen, heard, and valued.
