It did make me think what els may Abbs cross be doing or allowing just to keep the money flowing. My son has been at his new setting for a couple of weeks and he has settled in (no tears at the door) he was at Abbs cross for around 8 months and the tears was every drop off - as I said the staff in Abbs cross seemed lovely but you don’t really know people clearly as I would have never of sent my son to anywhere that someone like that lady could be present. She really let the place down and opened my eyes to what sort of people could be around your children and you not even know. I hope Abbs cross get her some serious training or get rid as I don’t think she should be linked to anything to do with children.

It is a pitty Abbs cross have such people working for them. I had to support a very stressed mother of a child that attended Abbs Cross nursery Rainham. It was stated very clearly that the mother had disabilities but a member of staff acted with no consideration and spoke with utter disrespect to her and about her child’s time in Abbs cross. If you enjoy being spoken to terribly and conned for your money then this is the place for you to send your child.
