Our Story


Family run since 1989.

Abacus nursery was established in 1989 in the home of the founder in Drewstead Road, Streatham Hill. Our home from home ethos was established as children were cared for by our founder’s biological *Nanny* and taught by her mother a qualified reception class teacher. The blueprint and identity was established quickly as being a caring and warm and homely environment where children’s outcomes and learning were at the forefront of our organisation’s goal. We have since opened additional locations all within easy distance of each other to stay local and community focused! Each site is run with the same family ethos which we believe is why many of our dedicated staff have been with our organisation for many years!

How have we evolved?

We believe in traditional teaching practices however we have embraced holistic ways of learning through our Arts offer, Sports aswell as a keen love for natural play which is embedded in our curriculum.
