Day Nurseries Owned by Acorn Early Years

When we speak to the staff, it feels like they are really invested in him.

Acorns Day Nursery is a warm and nurturing environment for toddlers. Our son joined mid April and I can't quite believe how quickly he's settled in. Every morning he looks forward to going in, he absolutely loves his key worker and the rest of the team who are all very welcoming too. It's often a struggle to collect him at the end of the day as he's always having so much fun, he especially enjoys the outdoors areas. The team do a fantastic job of keeping us updated throughout the day which gives us extra peace of mind. We were so delighted with Acorns that we've already signed up our youngest to join in January too. Keep it up team Acorn!

My son was not very comfortable in his last nursery, each time we took him there, he was always upset and crying, not wanting to stay. But when we started here, from the first day he felt more at ease, like he wanted to be here, he is always happy when we drop him off in the morning, he has fun, and has been developing well ever since. I am very grateful to the staff and team looking after him, thank you very much.

My son Atlas(1yr 7mo) started here on April 1st, 2026, and the transformation has been breathtaking. He hasn't just grown; he's blossomed into a "Version 2.0" of himself! He's gone from a quiet toddler to the CEO of the playground-running, singing, and finding his voice. His appetite has peaked, and his comedic timing during peek-a-boo is honestly better than most pros. The staff are real-life superheroes. I get a daily "Atlas Briefing" covering everything from his mood and culinary preferences to his evolving social circle. They balance deep, authentic love with a level of discipline that has seen his interactive skills skyrocket. The ultimate proof? Atlas is at the door every morning, ready to ditch me for his friends! Knowing he is safe and cherished allows me to breathe easy. This isn't just childcare; it's a second home where they take "care" to a galactic level. I cannot rate them high enough-they truly represent the gold standard of early year education

I feel so happy to have found this nursery. The staff are wonderful, I feel so comfortable leaving my 13month baby there. Its his first time going to nursery and I feel that this is a great and safe place for him to be. I could not recommend it enough.

My daughter started Acorn nursery in January and i was dreading leaving her for 3 days a week whilst I returned to work but the staff are incredible and my daughter absolutely loves nursery which has made it a breeze for me. They are so quick at updating throughout the day via the app, they encourage her to succeed to her fullest and she's thriving! I feel happy that she is safe and content. They offer a massive variety of meals/snacks and things my daughter would never usually eat at home. A special mention to Debbie and Angela in the acorn room as they are my daughter's key person and she loves them. Always happy to go into nursery and I know they take amazing care of her when she's having an off day or is sad on the odd occasion. Thank you! Jordan is also extremely helpful, anything to do with payment or general enquires the is so quick to advise and settle any enquiry we have.

Great nursery, lovely staff and there is so much for the children to do, lovely spacious outdoor areas and reasonable price. If I have another child I will send them here too, i would definitely recommend.

My son loves acorn at Westcroft during his settles the practitioners were very happy to do anything to help him feel comfortable. Since my son has started we can see a positive difference with interactions and confidence we thank all the staff who are making our nursery journey as positive and amazing as possible

My daughter has been going to nursery for round 10 months now and she has grown so much, the staff are brilliant and the children always have access to everything they need to learn. The food that my daughter has while at nursery is nutritious and top quality.

Exceptional nursery, staff are always willing and polite. Kids are always happy there and come away having learnt a lot. I have been and co ti ue to reccomend this nursery to others. I was reccomendes the nursery from others too. The nursery is always tidy in morning but after a day of kids it can need a reset as expected. The app is excellent and management always willing to help and respond quickly.

My 18-month-old started at this nursery when he was 1 year old, and he has been thriving ever since. The staff are incredibly caring and supportive, and they made his transition from home to nursery very smooth.

I've noticed a big improvement in his confidence, social skills, and development. He enjoys the activities and always seems happy and engaged when I pick him up. It's clear that the team genuinely care about the children and create a warm, nurturing environment.

I also really appreciate the regular updates, which give me peace of mind throughout the day. Overall, I'm very happy with our experience and would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

Acorn at Cold Harbour is a fantastic pre-school with extensive outdoor areas & great exploratory play. The staff are all very friendly & engaging. The app is a great tool to stay in touch/up to date.

We enrolled our child at Acorn Mulberry Bear after a period of significant change in her life. She had been at her previous nursery since she was 13 months old, and we moved from London to Milton Keynes 3 months before her third birthday. We also briefly tried another nursery after the move, but unfortunately she didn't settle at all, so we made the decision to withdraw her.

Although there have understandably been some tears at drop-off, my child is genuinely happy and settled and her confidence is already growing in a short space of time.

Overall, I'm so pleased with our choice. The team have made a potentially difficult transition much smoother for both my child and me. Thank you to all of the wonderful staff especially Abbie, Sharon & Vicky.

We've had a really positive experience with this nursery and couldn't be happier with the care our son receives. The staff are incredibly caring and patient and it's clear they genuinely take the time to nurture each child. Communication with parents is excellent - we're always kept informed and feel involved in our son's development.

One thing we especially appreciate is the effort they put into organising special events throughout the year that celebrate different cultures and events like Mother's Day. These events are not only inclusive but also give parents a wonderful opportunity to come in, take part and see our children in their learning environment, which is really special.

The staff are always approachable and friendly, making it easy to raise any questions. Most importantly, our son absolutely loves going there, which says everything. He loves the outdoor space and activities that are changed daily. Knowing he is happy, safe and thriving gives us complete peace of mind

Such a fantastic nursery. My daughter absolutely loves going and has been going since she was 1 years old. The staff are all super friendly, they care so much and bond well with their key children, they become like another family to them! The unit is so lovely, clean and full of natural toys to spark imagination. We feel so lucky to have got a place here for our second daughter on only wished we did years ago for our first.

Our little one started at Acorn Jubilee Wood last year and has been having such a wonderful time ever since. Even when she had a tough time settling in at first, the staff were incredibly patient and supportive, giving her all the time she needed to feel comfortable. What stands out the most is the level of care from the team. They've clearly taken the time to understand her as an individual, and it really shows. She goes in happily each day, which says everything. The staff are warm, dedicated, and create engaging activities that help children learn while having fun.

Overall, it's a wonderful nursery with a nurturing atmosphere. The outdoor space is a real asset, and the way children gradually integrate as they grow is fantastic for building confidence and social skills.

Just a brilliant nursery. The ethos of all the staff is superb and they are really dedicated to finding activities for the children that help them learn about the world in a fun way. The woodland garden that the children have access to helps them connect to nature and I love how the children all mix in one big room once they graduate from the baby room.

My daughter recently transferred to Wolverton Mill Nursery. We were offered lots of settling-in sessions to support her transition to a new nursery. The staff so far all seem very friendly. Kelly from the Oak Room gives a very good handover.

My daughter has settled in very well and seems to prefer this nursery compared to her last one. The Oak Room is very big and has a very nice garden space. My daughter especially loves the climbing frame with the slide.

The only downside is that it is on a higher price band compared to the last acorn nursery.

I'll be sad when my little girl leaves in September but glad I have littlest one starting!

Very happy with our experience at the nursery. Staff are friendly, helpful and good at communicating. Our daughter settled in very quicky and it is clear that she enjoys her days there and really likes all of her practitioners. The use of the app is great for photos and updates, and it is really lovely to see her developing and learning new things. Would highly recommend the nursery to other parents.
