School Reviews

Read all the latest reviews for Abbot’s Hill School from a range of independent publications who review the best private schools in the UK.

“A school with a friendly, personalised and holistic approach set in beautiful surroundings. One parent told us, ‘We deliberately chose Abbot’s Hill because they understand that happy children who have fun learn better – and when we say that now at dinner parties, we get the looks of, “Oh, have we missed something?

“Friendly atmosphere” and “sense of community” are recurring themes from parents and pupils. Small size of school, year groups and classes mean every child is known. Friendships extend to across year groups and pupils talked of new pupils becoming ‘welcomed’.

“The atmosphere in the school is happy and purposeful, yet relaxed and distinctly unpressurised.”

This is not a pushy school but gently encouraging and appears to nurture confidence, independence and leadership in a way that can’t be faked.

We’re so proud to share some exciting news…

Abbot’s Hill Day Nursery has been recognised as a Top 20 Rated Nursery in the East of England!

We had a vision: calm smiles, everyone looking at the camera, award held perfectly…
Reality: one upside down logo, three children mid-giggle, and at least one determined to face the wrong way.

Honestly, we think this version sums us up much better!

This award means so much to us, as it reflects the care, dedication, and passion our team brings every single day, and the wonderful children and families who make our nursery such a special place to be.

Thank you for being part of our community and for your continued support.
