Abacus Ark – Wandsworth and Clapham Junction
Level 3 Early Years Apprentice (Training with Swift Childcare)
Abacus Ark operates two welcoming nurseries in Wandsworth and Clapham Junction, caring for children aged 6 months to 5 years in nurturing, thoughtfully designed environments. The Wandsworth setting, located in the Riverside Quarter, blends Reggio Emilia and Montessori influences with enriching spaces, on‑site soft play and regular outdoor adventures. The Clapham Junction nursery, just a short walk from the station, offers a calm, home‑like setting led by an experienced team who support children from babyhood through to confident school readiness. Both nurseries follow the Abacus Ark FIRST Curriculum, which builds focus, independence, resilience, social understanding and trustworthiness through child‑led, hands‑on learning. Across both sites, strong routines, skilled practitioners and close parent partnerships help every child feel known, supported and able to flourish.
