We had our daughter at Weir Link from when she was 7 months old until she was 1 (she's now at Abacus). She was very happy there - settled in well and was well cared for by the nursery staff (several of whom we use as babysitters). We decided to move her to Abacus because it seemed like a more creative and stimulating environment for toddlers (for comparison, when I pick her up from Abacus the kids are doing organized activities or having free play, whereas when I picked her up from Weir Link the kids were often watching DVD's).
For me, they're like yin and yang. Weir Link is very good on the process (probably why they get the 'outstanding'). They're reliable and efficient and the staff are caring but somewhat transient. Abacus is very chaotic, but the kids seem to be thriving and the core team has been there for ages so it feels like a big, crazy, happy family.
Feel free to email me if you have any specific questions, and good luck!
