I spent a lot of time visiting nurseries in the area before choosing Abi Nursery for my nine-month-old daughter, and it was the only one that really stood out.

Many of the nurseries I visited felt quite similar — some had very little outdoor space, some had no proper garden at all, and a few were in buildings with limited natural light. In several places, the baby room felt like an afterthought rather than a space genuinely designed for very young children.

Abi Nursery felt different straight away. It’s new, modern, and calm, with a Scandinavian feel that’s very intentional and well thought through, especially for babies. The baby room is light, nurturing, and designed with children’s needs in mind.

The garden was a huge factor for me. After seeing so many nurseries that don’t have proper gardens and sometimes have to take children out to parks along busy roads, it was a relief to find a nursery that has everything on-site. Abi’s garden has real trees, a bit of muddy area for the children to explore, and so much outdoor activity space. Plus, they’ve put safety surfacing under the grass, so it’s all designed with child safety in mind.

I met Abi herself during our visit, and she was incredibly knowledgeable and reassuring. It’s clear that safety and security are a top priority for her, and that the whole nursery has been designed with children’s wellbeing at the centre and they cook all their own food on-site and have a great kitchen.


Most importantly, my daughter has settled in wonderfully. She’s happy, has made new little friends, and I get daily updates on her progress through the Blossom app, which I really appreciate.

If you’re looking at nurseries locally, I’d really encourage you to go and visit Abi Nursery and see the difference for yourself. You’ll honestly feel it as soon as you walk in.
