About Us

Our Childcare Team

Abbey Wood Grange has a dedicated and experienced team. Our highly trained practitioner’s have been very carefully selected for their passion, professionalism and natural affinity for childcare.

In order to maintain this level of quality, standards and performance are continually monitored.

How We Support Our Parents and Children

Trust and Safety

Separation Anxiety

We understand those first goodbyes can feel tough, for both children and parents. That’s why we support a smooth and gentle settling-in process, built around dedicated key workers who help your child form secure relationships. These early bonds help your child feel safe from day one.

Cost and Value

We provide a clear and comprehensive Fees and Brochure page where you can see exactly what’s included, such as meals, nappies, and varied, enriching activities. We also offer a helpful Child Funding guide to assist you in understanding funding options and eligibility.

We keep things safe as well as sparkly.

What Our Parents Said...

“I highly recommend Abbey Wood Grange. My son has attended for over 2 years and loves it so much that he doesn't ever want to leave! It is like one big family, and that is down to the amazing staff. Everyone there works so hard to make sure your child has the best experience possible. It is run so well, and the communication is brilliant. My son is well prepared for school life, and I can't thank everyone at Abbey Wood Grange enough for the last 2 years.”

“All the staff at the nursery have been really great at looking after and teaching both my children so much. They come home having learnt so many things I didn't know they would be taught, whilst playing with friends. I had no concerns sending my baby into the pink room and watching them develop as they've moved up has been a joy. A recent change to the menus has gone down a treat too! I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for somewhere fun and caring with great facilities.”

“I have two children at Abbey Wood Grange and they are very happy there. The nursery is great at developing children. My eldest daughter is a confident child, who has made friends and will be ready for school in September. My youngest has settled in well and the nursery is great at supporting her needs eg she is a fussy eater. I would recommend this nursery.”

“A fantastic place. You initially worry when you first hand your child over to someone else, but we could not be more comfortable than handing our son over to Abbey Wood. He has a fantastic active day every day and loves attending. I could not recommend Abbey Wood or the staff more highly!”

“I highly recommend this nursery. All the staff are friendly, hard working and caring. Both my children have attended since they were 10-months old and have thrived in all the different rooms from the lovely baby and toddler room to the tweenie rooms. My children look forward to going to nursery and love the outdoor play areas.”

“Our son has attended for almost 18 months now and he has thrived in the environment created at Abbeywood. We have had consistency with his key workers which is so important for us and him, he really loves going in each day. During these covid times, the communication from management has been exceptional and we have been comforted by the measures that they are taking to ensure the nursery stays covid free. We will be sending our second son here soon and would recommend highly to anyone.”

“Fantastic nursery, I have been so pleased with the care and support that Abbey Wood Grange has given my daughter over the last year. They have helped her progress her new skills and have always been supportive as she’s learned. Lots of long term staff which is a testament to the great atmosphere that Abbey Wood Grange has. Would and have recommended Abbey Wood Grange to family and friends.”

“We are very happy with Abbey Wood Grange. All the staff are amazing and communication is brilliant. Our daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery and enjoys a huge variety of activities both inside and outside. The facilities are great and well kept.”

“Both my son and daughter have attended Abbey Wood Grange from 1 year old and 5 months (now 5 and 4 years old) and have loved attending this great nursery. From seeing them progress through the different stages you can see a great connection between the staff and the children and my children have both been extremely happy here. Thanks to all the management and staff for making this nursery such a wonderful place.”
