“My little boy absolutely adores Abacus, he has so much lovely things to say about his teachers and has made many friends which he loves to talk about. He is quite a shy boy and around new people but they have helped him as an individual and now he is more open around them. We enjoy looking at his Tapestry file and are always updating for his teachers to see too. He always comes home and tells me he’s had a good day and never once had a bad day. All the teachers are amazing and never go without smiling. He’s currently singing the Christmas song ‘Christmas Pudding’ and he just bursts with pride knowing he knows the whole song thanks to Abacus. I could never put into words how lovely the staff really are, they are simply the best!”

“Both our boys attend the pre school and they absolutely love it. We’ve seen huge improvements with their vocabulary, counting and interactions with other children. The staff are fantastic so friendly and helpful. Cannot say enough good things about this pre school.”

“My son started to attend pre school in March this year just after his 2nd birthday. He was very attached to me and didn’t like it when i left him alone. His speech wasn’t good and it did need to be improved. The abacus team have been brilliant with my son. Since March he has made friends for life, he loves going 3 times a week and would go more if he could. He can now tell me on a daily basis and everyday what they do something different which he loves. I personally love the pre school and the staff are always happy to see my son and also greet us as soon as they see us. They keep us informed through the newsletter and texts with upcoming events.”

“I just wanted to give some feedback on my child’s time so far at Abacus.

He started back in January 2015 at 2 years old. I have to say that it has been noted by myself and other parents that their has been many improvements made during that time. The setting as a whole has evolved, the garden area is beautiful and inside I feel there is more structure to classroom with various areas for the children to learn and play together.
The interaction between the staff is a joy to see, you can sense their bond as a team. His key worker has a wealth of knowledge and has always made herself available to speak to when I have had questions or asked for advice.
It’s a wonderful feeling to know that when I drop my child off at preschool he is going somewhere that he and I feel he is safe and secure.
He regularly talks about his day and his “ladies” as he lovingly refers to them. I know that his developmental needs are not only being met but excelled in a way that I wouldn’t be able to do myself.
We have conversations about the topics he learns at school, ranging from healthy eating and exercise, to safety, the workplace, relationships with friends to animals and plants. Also his numerical skills and literacy awareness are impressive.
I have been given access to Tapestry which is a wonderful addition and gives me the opportunity to feel part of his preschool experience.
The staff arrange excursions and events throughout the year within the school and with the local community. The local businesses and emergency services are often involved and there is a real awareness of what Abacus are striving for and achieving with their children.
Thank you for all you have done and continue to do.”

“I’ve been really looking forward to coming into pre-school to have an opportunity to see our son playing with his friends,to observe his learning and watch his social/interactive skills outside of his own environment. He has settled really well and I’m so proud of him, there are lots of toys and areas of learning to keep him entertained and I could see first hand how much he is enjoying his time at pre-school! Well done all and thank you for inviting us to stay and play.”
