Abacus operates with a strong inclusion and equality policy, ensuring all children have opportunities to flourish. The facility is equipped with dedicated spaces for different age groups, including a self-contained baby and toddler room with a spacious playroom, a separate sleep room, and a dining area that doubles as a messy play zone.

The nursery also incorporates unique approaches like "Hygge" in "The Snug" room, a calm space with natural resources for quiet exploration, and embraces "The Curiosity Approach" to foster children's natural inquisitiveness, promoting a "home from home" atmosphere where every child can reach their full potential. They also prioritise parent partnerships, providing regular updates and information on children's progress and development. Our ethos We aim to provide a caring, safe and stimulating environment where children can play and learn. Where each child can be embraced and encouraged to develop their own unique self. We offer a variety of resources but understand that children learn best through play and interaction, so no opportunity is wasted! Our mission is to provide a ‘home from home’ environment where children’s needs come first. Staff work in partnership with parents/carers and outside agencies (when required) to ensure that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential, in fun and safe surroundings. We believe that safeguarding each child whilst at nursery is at the centre of our care.
