Day Nurseries Owned by Acorn Early Years in Buckinghamshire

I couldn't be happier with Rowan's. I instantly felt the warmth, positivity and genuine care throughout the nursery. It's clear, that the kids are at the heart of everything they do. The team is truly passionate about creating a happy, nurturing and inspiring environment. The leadership team is exceptional. Rita, manager, and her deputy Chloe have created a wonderful environment where children feel valued, supported & encouraged to thrive. Their dedication shines through in everything they do, from the experiences they provide to the strong relationships they build with families. A special mention has to go to my son's key person, Shabreen, who has been absolutely incredible. She has built such a beautiful bond with him and he absolutely adores her. The progress he has made since joining has been absolutely amazing. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Rowan's. The passion, commitment & outstanding care shown by the whole team is incredible. I would highly recommend it to any family.

My 2 year old started here earlier this year after we moved to Milton Keynes. Since the beginning they've been absolutely amazing. He struggled to settle at the beginning because there were too many changes for him at the same time, and they were so kind always letting me know how he was when I messaged. He settled quickly after that and now he absolutely loves it! Sometimes doesn't even want to leave. I love the staff there, the environment and I love that I get to see throughout the day what he eats, etc through the app. My soon to be 1 year old is starting there soon, and it helps knowing he'll be in good hands! Highly recommend!

We are absolutely thrilled with this nursery. My daughter has been attending for over two years now. She can take time to settle in new environments, but the staff's dedication and care truly helped her feel at home, and now she is always excited to go in the mornings! She has made lovely friends and really enjoys the meals, though the one thing I wish they offered is a halal food option. The staff are incredibly caring and friendly, always making the children feel special-getting a simple sticker from them absolutely makes my daughter's day. They regularly organize engaging new activities, and one of our favorite features is the on-site forest. The frequent forest trips on the minibus too are such a wonderful, unique experience for the kids. I highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter Brooke has been going to this nursery for 2 years. She is profoundly deaf with a lot of additional disability/health issues. This nursery has given my daughter immense confidence and has been absolutely brilliant with her. Brooke is now starting reception thriving with confidence because of how much love and care the workers give to the children at this nursery. Heidi taught the children BSL so my daughter felt included to play with others. My youngest daughter will now be going to this nursery because of how amazing this nursery is. The safeguarding is top notch. The staff go above and beyond with a smile on their face even in extreme hot weather this year! Thanks for everything you have done for Brooke. We really appreciate it :)

We are extremely happy with this nursery and the care our child receives. The staff are exceptionally kind, caring, and genuinely invested in each child's individual development. The environment is always safe, clean, and welcoming. Our child has thrived here, particularly with the imaginative outdoor activities and structured learning that completely prepared them for the transition to school. The communication via their daily tracking app is exceptional. I highly recommend this provider to any parent looking for a safe, enriching environment.

Great staff, a small-family feel, beautiful location and facilities. My daughter has been attending for over 1 year and has a fantastic time. She takes part in a variety of activities, a highlight being Forest School and great updates by the staff sent via the app daily. Very happy and will be sending my second daughter next year.

Initially he was put on squirels as he was on less than 3 yrs and then we had month break due to vacation, later on he was not settled in the nursery after returning from vacation, so the staff was moved him to Oaks room, which was a game changer and was groomed well and special mention to Elice who is primary care taker for my son. He has been very comfortable going to nursery, enjoying the activities and making new friends. Also all the oaks staff were patient and supportive and helps us with detail feedback by the EOP when we pick up our child. Also their activitities for children invloving more closeness to nature stand out the reason we have chosen Acorn for my kid.

Clean and safe environment for kids. Lots of space indoor and outdoor for group and individual play. Staff are well trained and very supportive. They also provide freshly cooked nutrisious food. My 3 year old boy love to go to nursery and playing with friends.

The activities are great: they go to the park, they feed the chickens, they do a lot of water and messy play etc The whole approach is child-led and they respect parent's choices all the way (about potty training, naps, etc). The app is updated throughout the day to keep parents at ease and very often we receive updates with pictures. The safeguarding is on point. When our child was sick her temperature was checked several times, several people are aware, parents are called before any medication is administered. Everything is recorded on the app and traceable. Overall a great place for children but the main quality is the staff. Every one knows our child name and she knows everyone that works there. It's been over a year and we are extremely satisfied. It's a great place.

Great nursery, and I would recommend it to any parent looking for a caring and supportive environment for their child. The staff are all friendly, welcoming, and approachable, and they take the time to get to know each child as an individual.

Thank you to the entire team!

We couldn't thank them enough for looking after our little one the way they do.

We are very grateful for the positive impact Acorns Nursery has had on her early years and would highly recommend it to any carer looking for a caring, professional, and engaging nursery environment.

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.
