Choosing a nursery is a big decision, but Acorns Stanwick has been the perfect fit. The staff provide a gentle, nurturing atmosphere that has really helped our son thrive. We've been particularly impressed by the outdoor-focused activities, which we feel are so important at this age. Seeing him engage
in important learning and play outside is wonderful for his development. He always tells us about the Forest School.
They do so many activities across all the rooms and the children love them .
The staff are professional, warm, and clearly dedicated to what they do.
Our son always goes in the nursery with the biggest smile on his face in the mornings .
Couldn't be more happier with the choice we made 3 years ago when our little man started this nursery.

Our son Reuben has attended Acorns in Stanwick since he was an infant. 3 years down the line and we cannot recommend these guys enough. Reuben loves it and the staff are lovely.


Reuben gets all the emotional and educational support he needs. We love that they spend a lot of time outside and that

all the toys are made of natural materials and not cheap plastic.


They are also open during term time so we dont have to worry about taking time off or child chare during these periods.


Being a not for profit organisations the fees are also affordable.

We are extremely happy with this nursery and couldn't recommend it more highly.
The staff are kind, patient, and genuinely care about each child's wellbeing and development. I especially love that the children are taken outside every day, whatever the weather, and the forest school is absolutely amazing.
It's wonderful to see how much confidence, independence, and curiosity this builds in the children. The environment is safe, welcoming, and stimulating, with plenty of activities that support learning through play.
Communication with parents is excellent, and it's so reassuring to know our child is happy, settled, and well looked after every day.


Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you all put into caring for the children's.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Acorn nursery at Castlethorpe was our primary choice for a nursery, following it's own reputation as well as recommendations from friends who had also sent their children here. We knew from the moment we first visited the nursery that it was where we wanted our daughter to go, and we could not be
more pleased with that decision.


Our daughter settled in immediately thanks to not only her key worker (as well as all staff) making it a warm, friendly and happy atmosphere. The range of activities that they have for the children is truly amazing as well as safe and appropriate ventures out of the nursery.


She has since progressed into the Squirrels and continues to flourish thanks to the amazing work of the staff and the set-up in place to progress her development, education and imagination

Reply from Linda Crawford, Administrator at Acorn Day Nursery (Castlethorpe)Thank you for the lovely feedback Your daughter is a pleasure to have in the nursery and all the staff enjoy spending time with her.

Our little girl started attending this nursery from November 2025. The nursery is a friendly, inclusive, caring environment with a fantastic ethos. Our daughter has settled so well and is incredibly happy there with the support of the caring staff, wide range of sensory activities, messy and outdoor
play.
The staff took time & care to really get to know our child when she started & provide person centred care, individual to her needs and routine.
The communication with care givers is excellent and helps to provide reassurance and an open culture.
The food prepared by the chefs is healthy and varied as well as clearly being delicious as our child eats so well there.
We couldn't recommend the nursery enough and feel lucky we have a space there.

The nursery has been the best transition for my son. In such a short space of time his confidence, social skills and communication have really grown. He's happy arriving in the morning and on collection he is full of excitement to show and tell me about his day.
This is all thanks to the love, care
and support that the team show him during his time there. The ethos is what we truly love about Acorn, continuous access to the outdoors, free choice and activities that encourage independence whilst offering a natural environment. The staff have been nothing but welcoming and already you can see the clear bonds and relationships my son has with them all.

My son has been attending this nursery for quite a few months now. He absolutely loves attending, wakes up every morning asking if it's a nursery day so he can go and see his friends (staff included). His confidence has grown so much since coming and it's lovely to see. The staff are lovely and it is
very clear that they care about the children. I am also updated on what my son is doing during his time at nursery through the app. He is also given a wide variety of food, including some things meals that he hadn't even tried at home. I could not recommend this nursery enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 3yo & 1yo have been at Acorns since they were both 5months old. The care is excellent. Communication is great, whether face to face, messaging or through app updates.
They bonded really well with their key practitioner but I also love that all the staff regardless of whether they are the designated
practitioner or not are really invested in the children.
They are always coming home with crafts they have made with a really wide and inventive range of materials especially for special occasions eg Mother's Day. They spend a lot of time exploring the outdoors in the garden and wider grounds and have a strong eco friendly ethos which they teach the children.
The menu is healthy with variety of dishes on a 4 week rotation and full changes every term. My 3 year old is far more encouraged to try new things alongside his friends than he is at home!
I'll be really sad when they have to leave to start school, it's been a real foundation and second home for them and I'd be lost without them!

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My daughter has attended the squirrels room and is now in Oaks - she absolutely loves going to nursery and her confidence has just come on leaps and bounds since attending. I was so nervous sending her to nursery but after viewing and meeting all the staff all
my fears disappeared and I'm so so glad I chose this one. Every single member of staff I've come across is absolutely lovely and you can tell they truly love and nurture the children. They get to explore so much - one of the reasons I chose this nursery was for the forest school aspect as my daughter loves being outdoors and I'm so impressed with how much the children learn and get to experience, the crafts they get to do etc. The app updates are extremely thorough and really shares an insight into what the children get up to in the day. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and am looking forward to my son attending this year :)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter goes to Acorns nursery in Sharnbrook, she's in the youngest room and has been absolutely loving her time there. She's settled in so well, and a big part of that is down to the fantastic staff. Everyone we've met has been warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in the children. It's clear
how much effort they put into creating a nurturing, fun, and reassuring environment each day. We always feel confident that our daughter is in safe and caring hands.
We've also really appreciated the recent updates to the nursery. The new outdoor play area looks brilliant, and we're excited for her to have the chance to explore it. Inside, the refreshed layout works nicely, and we especially love the addition of the sensory room. It feels like a thoughtful space where children can engage and interact in a calm, enclosed environment suited to their needs.

I could not be happier with our experience at this nursery. The staff are incredibly caring, patient and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing. It's clear they know each child as an individual and the relationships they build are so reassuring.


The environment is wonderful - a perfect mixture

of calm and chaos. One of the things I love the most is how much time they spend outside. Whether it's playing, learning or just fresh air, they make the most of every day and our child absolutely thrives because of it.
There is always so much fun happening, from creative activities to imaginative play, messy play, reading. Our child gets excited to show what they have been doing that day on each pick up. The team listen and want to learn about new developments your child has had and will encourage further learning.We are truly grateful for everything the team does. It's a fantastic nursery and would highly recommend to any family.

We absolutely love this nursery and more importantly, our little one loves it too. It is a lovely environment, a calm and friendly atmosphere and the staff are amazing. They do so many different activities with the children, take them on trips and always make learning fun. The chef also does an amazing
job cooking fresh food each day. Our little one has developed so much since being here and we're so glad we chose Acorn for him to grow in his first years. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, caring, all round fantastic setting for your child.
