About ABACUS ARK LTD
Abacus Ark was founded in 2012 by Anthony Ioannou, inspired by a long family tradition in early childhood education. His grandmother, Angela Carrington, opened Toddlers Inn Nursery School in St John’s Wood, where his mother Laura later helped expand the family’s vision for nurturing, play-based learning. It was also where Anthony began his own early years journey – an experience that shaped his understanding of the power of care, curiosity, and community.
