Hi, my daughter was there for pre-nursery (the year before K1) - Royal Ascot.

She hated it. There were lots of homework and the teachers were strict. Having said that, however, students at the school do get into very good primary schools later.

We switched her to Anchors in Taipo and she absolutely loves her current school. Anchors is much brighter and the teachers are friendlier. Anchors is becoming very popular since the new campus opened at Constellation Cove.

I've heard good things about KCIS from a friend who sends both of her kids there.

I've never heard of Abacus, I'm afraid.

There's also a good school called Zebedee (english kindergarten) that's newly opened in Taipo. My friend is sending her son there and they are so happy with the school. Small classes and qualified loving teachers. What more can you ask, right? ;-)

Good luck. It really depends on what you're looking for. Maybe visit the schools to get an idea.
