Abbotswood Pre School and Day Nursery

My son goes to Abbotswood pre school and has recently finished his Forest school 8-week period. He has had the best time there and learnt so much. Abbotswood itself is an exceptional setting for enabling children to be outside and learn about nature, but the addition of the forest school has been amazing, I honestly can’t believe how much he has learnt over the past 8 weeks, he looks at the trees and plants and sky differently and it curious to look under stones, find mushrooms and flowers and look for animals foot prints. His ability to remember the different fungi like ‘Witch’s butter’ and point out different noises he thinks he can hear like chuntering squirrels almost brings a tear to my eye. Its quite literally everything I would want my child to learn and be a part of at a nursery / pre-school setting . Other than yesterday, I think every session he's had , the rain has been biblical . I have been amazed how resilient the team have been to not let the whether get in the way of the delivery of the program, if anything to use it as a tool to learn more and always with big happy faces and tired feet at the end of the day. I really hope the forest school continues to be such a strong asset and resource at Abbotswood, and that children continue to loves and learn so much from it.

A wonderful, outdoor nursery experience for both my children. All the staff care deeply and I have always felt very happy knowing they are extremely well cared for with lots of opportunities for learning and growing as little people.

Such a wonderful company! They were our first client we supplied children's outdoor furniture to, a bespoke preschool mud kitchen with island table and toddlers hut, completely designed and built to order. The staff were so welcoming when we arrived on site, took us through all the safety information and got us set up where we would be working and installing. Everyone was very friendly, they were great at fencing off our area to keep the kids at a safe distance and then feeding back to us after we left on how the children and staff liked the results. We're very much looking forward to working for Abbotswood again! Thank you so much too Lou and Hannah, your vision for the nursery is fantastic and we love the level of attention you're giving your site and the children's facilities. Sam and Aaron x

Our son has been attending since July last year and we are absolutely in love with the nursery and their incredible staff! They really embraced his medical diet and made us feel at ease with how he would get his meals each day! Their communication is brilliant and we love receiving daily updates with what they’ve been up to! The staff really are the gem of the nursery! They show great care for the children whilst also developing all their skills. We have seen a huge difference in our son both with his physical development and his confidence levels since joining! Couldn’t ask for more :)

When people talk about ‘finding their village’ in the early years of parenting, I can honestly say we found ours in Abbotswood. I couldn’t recommend the nursery enough. Aside from their beautiful setting and constant investment in improvements to the grounds and buildings, the staff here are second to none. They treat our children like their own - showing so much passion, care and concern for their well being and being a constant source of comfort and support for both my son and daughter. We have noticed such an increase in their confidence since starting at the nursery and love how much time they spend outside in nature as well as building skills that foster their independence. We feel so lucky to have found Abbotswood and are really grateful for the positive impact the staff have had on our children in these early stages of life.
