Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since our child started they have been happy and content at Acorns and as a parent i'm reassured everyday that they have fun, are happy and are loved by the staff there.
Everyday on collection we get a rundown of their day and also updates on the app. Especially when starting out this was incredibly
comforting.
The staff all know the needs of each child and can tell if they aren't acting like themselves. Then tailoring their approach to the needs of the day.
I couldn't be more pleased with Acorns.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team and experience at Acorn Emberton has been amazing. As a first time mum returning to work I was nervous leaving my little boy in the hands of someone else, however, I needn't have been nervous! The team were not only amazing with my son, but with my husband and I with helping the settling in
process and the adjustment for all of us. They are warm and welcoming every single day. Every staff member knows his name, his likes, dislikes and how he engages. Staff make a personal effort to build relationships and I feel like they are genuinely interested and care. They have made the transition super easy for all of us, and I cannot thank them enough for everything they do.
We are expecting our second and I can't wait for another little human to experience the Acorn world. Thank you all so much for everything you do.

Our son attends the Nature Kindergarten at Acorn Emberton and has really grown in confidence and loves his time there! We specifically chose this setting because the children are outdoors at all times all year round, the very best place for them to explore, play and learn! The field has so much space,
different areas to explore, and the equipment and activities on offer are great! All the staff are friendly, fun and caring, and communications from them are good, either in person at pick-up/drop-off or through observations/updates. We are also impressed with the variety of nutritious meals/snacks provided.

My daughter joined Mulberry Bear at the age of 11 months in January. She was very unsettled initially and now she absolutely loves going to nursery and adores all the staff. We are so grateful to the team for the efforts they put in settling her and providing her a safe and comfortable environment.
The nursery offers many outdoor activities, tours in the greens, messy plays, music and lots of reading. My daughter has learnt and grown so much since joining the nursery.
The food they provide meets the nutritional needs and they never miss to offer the kids extra if the ask for it.

Our daughter has now been at Acorn for five months and she absolutely loves it. It's so lovely knowing that every day she goes in she's going to have the best day filled with great and varied experiences. It's a big thing trusting others with the care of your child, but we as parents have felt very
supported and reassured by Acorn throughout. We were very impressed with the gentle and flexible settling in period, and want to particularly thank Tom for being so supportive to us as a family during this. The nursery's communication is fantastic, and we've felt reassured by their strict policies surrounding things like them administering antibiotics. The app and being able to see what our daughter eats, nappy changes, sleeps etc in real time is very comforting. Along with Tom, we want to do a big shout out to Emily, Cornelia and Ellie, who are brilliant, and our daughter talks about them a lot at home, as she clearly loves them. Thank you to everyone at Acorn, the nursery is brilliant.

My 2 year old has been with Acorns for just over a year now and he loves it. He does 2 full days a week and loves his key worker Helena. Since moving up to the squirrels room this summer, his development has come on leaps and bounds. His speech is much more, his creative play, and his eating and drinking
habits have improved. He loves being outdoors and the garden and nature kindergarten is great for him to explore and play. He's had many trips out which he loves and staff are great at sending updates and pictures each week. They keep you informed of everything from food intake to nappy changes and are currently assisting us with starting potty training on nursery days. We have regular catchups to discuss his development and are always eager to see if there's any areas or issues to work on with him. We're pleased to have found this nursery for our boy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with the care our little boy receives at Acorn at new bradwell. All staff genuinely care about the children and everything they do is for the children's benefit.


It did take a while for my son to settle in as he started at 13 months old, but now at 17 months old, he is really

happy going in the morning and has really bonded with his key worker and other members of staff too.


We receive regular updates throughout the day and it is so amazing to watch him develop. We would 100% recommend this nursery to friends or family.

Acorn Day Nursery (Cold Harbour)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at cold harbour in January 2025, after we had setbacks from another setting after they found out she potentially had additional needs.


The staff at cold harbour took that all on board and did not let it impact a single thing. She has even started doing things she would never approach

a year ago.


Although there has been a reasonably big staff turnaround, the staff have remained consistent with the care provided and kept parents updated at all times.


Cold harbour have a fantastic sized garden, and even better, a nature kindergarten! My little girl absolutely LOVES it up there.

My daughter started here in October and has taken very well to her key workers. She has lots of fun with all the creative activities available at the setting and often enjoys listening to stories read. She has also started to try new foods.
