Day Nurseries Owned by Acorn Early Years in Bedfordshire

Acorn Nursery at Sharnbrook has been absolutely amazing with both my boys (an acorn, and an oak). From the beginning they've been extremely supportive of how I wanted to parent and raise my boys. I have every trust snd faith in the team and I know my boys are safe, well looked after, and engaged in the best ways. They have great relationships with their key people and the wider team as a whole.

A fantastic nursery!

She really is looked after as one of their own which is so comforting to know, I never have a second thought about whether she is happy and enjoying herself as I know she is loving every moment.

We are incredibly grateful for everything the team at Acorns has done for our daughter and cannot recommend the nursery enough.

What an incredible nursery. I am so happy that I chosen this nursery for my son. He is so happy. You can see the difference in his development, the staff is so attentive and helpful. They really try to do the best for your child. Love the variety of activities that they do, so much spending time outside! They try to do different activities every day which helps with their creativity. Love the variety of food, so many new flavors for little ones!

Over the past 7 months, he has thrived. The activities are so varied (so many different opportunities to explore messy play, painting, reading, sensory, outdoor play and more!). The staff are so sweet and caring, but very professional, I can tell that he enjoys being with them. I feel comfortable and confident leaving him at Acorns, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

We couldn't recommend the nursery enough and feel lucky we have a space there.

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!

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.

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 couldn't be happier with our nursery! Our son is in the youngest class (Acorns) and from the very beginning, the nursery employees have all been warm and welcoming. It can be quite a scary transition for a parent but the ladies there were reassuring and understanding. He has settled in really well and has loved his time there so far, forming a lovely bond with his key worker Connie, who is incredibly warm, enthusiastic and caring. They have a varied and stimulating range of activities for the children, including lots of outdoor and nature-based play, which was important for us. Communication with parents is excellent, we are notified regularly regarding his day, including what he has eaten (their menu is incredible!) and photo updates! They also monitor his learning, development and communication, holding regular meetings with us and encouraging our participation. We honestly feel so lucky to have found such a caring and supportive nursery and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Acorns Day Nursery (Sharnbrook)

My son started in the baby room in September this year, prior to him starting a home visit was carried out which was really great as it gave the opportunity to meet his key worker and felt very personable. His lovely key worker welcomes him at the door in the morning warmly which has really made his transition easy and he is always happy to go to nursery. During his time there we are kept up to date with what he has eaten and his nap schedule. Regular posts show lots of lovely photos of the wide range of learning experiences that Acorns offer. I was offered a parent meeting after his first few weeks at Acorns and feedback was given around his develop which was helpful. I have been really impressed with the high level of standard of care that he has been given. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I love that they have a heavy focus on sustainability and time outdoors - every time I pull a muddy top out of his bag it makes me smile as I know how much fun he's had!

Parents are also brought along for all the adventures through lots of daily photos on the app. This is so wonderful to be able to see during the day, as well as being a tool to help create conversations around their day at nursery. Parents are also encouraged to share their happy milestones from home too, as well as being invited in to take part in events within the nursery.

The staff at Acorns Sharnbrook are so kind & helpful. Our daughter loves it here and is so excited to go to nursery everyday. She always comes home happy and can't wait to tell us everything she's done in the day.

Since starting the nursery in January our son has had such a wonderful experience. It took him a while to settle with drop off's, but staff have been amazing at helping our son settle in to the nursery whilst reassuring us daily. We love the forest schools element. Our son loves being outside and the staff are great at making it an adventure, being outside in nature and participating in different activities. We couldn't be happier with our choice in the nursery, the kind, caring nature of the staff have helped us all with the transition into nursery. We can't thank Acorns Sharnbrook day nursery enough for all they have done and continue to do!

My son has attended this nursery since September and I honestly couldn't be happier with how well he has settled in, all the staff are fantastic so kind, caring and nurturing, my son is very fond of them all he is always speaking so highly of them. There are lots of different activities and fun things for the children to do, they have great outdoor space which is full of lots of things for the children to do. The food is very healthy and nutritious even my fussy little boy enjoys the meals and majority of the time eats everything. The nursery setting is located in a lovely place very safe and secure. They have an app in which they do daily updates of what the children are getting up to, what they have eaten etc. Every parents wish is to know their child is in safe hands and being well taken care of and I don't have to think twice about this. Thank you so much to all the staff at Acorn Day Nursery for taking care of my little boy on a daily basis your all doing an amazing job.

Acorn Day Nursery at Sharnbrook. My son has been going to Acorn Day Nursery in Sharnbrook since he was 11 months old. His key worker and the team were brilliant at getting him to settle in quickly and were so lovely when he wasn't well. We've really noticed his development advance since he's been going and he loves all the activities and the food.

I cannot thank all the staff at Acorn enough, specifically those in the Squirells room. They have been understanding and very kind during my daughter's transition into childcare. Nothing was too much trouble and they were fantastic with communication throughout the day. They didn't rush us to increase our hours and made sure our timetable suited my daughter's progress above all. She is now absolutely thriving, no tears and cannot wait to go to nursery and have fun. 5-star experience, fantastic team!

My daughter has been going to Acorn at Sharnbrook now since May and she's developed so much. The staff are lovely and I love the fact you can keep track of what she has been up to during the day, what has been eaten and just a general overview of her being happy. The staff always respond quickly to any questions and I love the atmosphere there. They are able to get stuck in, mucky, explore, dance, exercise and have quiet time too. It's a fab place and my eldest went there before as well.
