What Our Parents Say
"I cannot praise Abbey Wood Grange Day Nursery enough. My daughter started when she was 1 years old and has just moved up into the toddler room, I am truly amazed at her development since starting nursery, she has become such a social butterfly and her skills have come on massively. She enjoys going to nursery every week and I'm always impressed at the amount of activities they do with her, the setting is always welcoming, staff are all friendly and the nursery is always kept clean. I couldn't be happier with the nursery and thank you to all of the staff for looking after our daughter! "
Overall Experience: 
"Abbey Wood Grange is a lovely nursery, both of my daughters attend […] My eldest who joined the nursery at 9 months, is now 2.5 years and has been through the rooms, now in the toddler room, loves nursery. The toddler room is a great size, overlooking the garden with the outdoor play area, she loves the romp room which they go to at least once a week and each day she comes home having done a different activity - dressing up, colouring, painting, creative play, learning about emotions, it's fabulous. We love Abbey Wood. "
Overall Experience:
"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. "
Overall Experience:
"We knew the moment we set foot in this nursery that it was different to all the others we viewed because the whole atmosphere was so bright and cheery, and everyone we met seemed genuinely happy to be there, staff and children alike.
The managers are lovely and really hands-on and have day-to-day involvement with the children, which I think is important. The carers are fantastic and really engage with the children well, from everything we've seen both in the baby and toddler unit.
We honestly couldn't be happier with the nursery, and our daughter loves it there despite initially being a very clingy baby when we first enrolled her.
The extended opening hours and proximity to the station make commuting into London really easy too. "
Overall Experience:
"My daughter attended Abby Wood Grange from 9 months old until she started school. She was always happy and went to school well prepared. My toddler son now attends and I have seen him grow socially and he is always happy. "
