A phenomenal nursery. Abacus completely changed my sons life, the level of care, cleanliness, togetherness & attention to my sons needs was honestly unmatched. I want to thank everyone at Abacus but especially Latoya, Rihanna & the amazing Ajyeiwa. Thank you for giving me the ease as a mother knowing that my child is being looked after extremely well. Keep doing great things guys!

Our daughter's time at Abacus has been the best start she could have possibly had in group childcare. The team at Brixton Abacus genuinely love and care about the children and their development and do everything to support them and their parents. From themed learning about their community, to make a very s and s the truth in their own minds they were a very good person who was rear of A NNoutside playtime, gardening, tennis, music, painting as well as potty training and healthy eating, it has been a wonderful place for our daughter and she's only left because we are moving. Would 100% recommend Latoya and team!

Our son has been at Abacus Brixton since September and he absolutely loves it. I was nervous about choosing the right nursery but Abacus was recommended by a friend and as soon as I looked around it felt far more welcoming and a much nicer environment than other nurseries I'd looked at nearby. Toyah and the team are all super friendly, trustworthy and flexible, and there seems to be a great range of activities for the children to take part in like the music man, yoga and tennis. Our son has made a huge amount of progress since starting here and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!

Our daughter has been at Abacus Brixton since it opened and has loved every minute. Her key worker Leah is the most loving and caring person and the manager Latoya has spent a lot of time getting to know the children as individuals. All the staff clearly care a great deal about the children and this is what we were looking for in a nursey. They regularly go out locally into Brixton and beyond, and have a diverse range of activities available. We continue to recommend Abacus Brixton to friends and local parents and we love being part of its community.

We moved our son to Abacus in July last year when his old nursery was really unhelpful about potty training and also had some quite strict discipline procedures they didn't tell us about. We were really nervous about the change as we thought we were perhaps making a fuss over nothing and no other nursery would be any better. But from day one at Abacus he had no more issues with potty training and, though it took him a while to settle fully, every single member of the nursery staff team were fantastic, supportive and understanding. We now have two kids there and we think we are so lucky to have found this little haven in Brixton. They do wonderful trips, both to places like the aquarium and the theatre but also to distribute harvest food in Brixton and help remove rubbish from a pond. They have lovely syllabuses they cover in a gentle, fun way. Our boys are so different but are so happy. They love Matt the Music Man on Tuesdays, Tennis on Wednesdays, yoga on Thursday and, recently, road safety on Mondays. They also get lovely impromptu Spanish lessons which are very sweet to see. Toya, Ajyeiwa, Rihanna, Jenny, Rita, Ava, Chloe. You are all wonderful, thank you so much
