Day Nurseries Owned by Acorn Early Years in Northamptonshire

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.

I have recommended acorn to my friends who also send their children there now I could not sing their praises enough

The staff are always thinking of new ways the children can learn through play and make the whole day so much fun for my babies!

Forest school provides the children with the adventure they need, and a garden provides opportunities to run around and explore. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Stanwick Acorn nursery to others.

I can't recommend Acorn enough, they really make the children feel part of a big family!

The staff are kind and engaging and we get very regular updates of what the children have been up to, alongside more detailed assessments with areas we can collectively support for further development. It feels like the staff are all fully invested in our children alongside us, and we are so grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery!

Two of our children have been through Acorn nursery in Stanwick, we have had a great experience throughout, staff are brilliant and kids love the forest school experience. Plenty of trips to the garden and local park. Would recommend wholeheartedly.

My daughter is our first child, so choosing a nursery was something very new to us. Acorn worked really well location wise for us and because we knew the staff are so friendly, we never looked anywhere else to send her.

In her first 3 months she has settled better than expected and she has shown really good development. Her carers are so good and we always get feedback when we pick her up. The online update system they have is very useful too.

Our little one has been attending this nursery for around 9 months now and he is absolutely thriving!

He started at around 9 months old and the nursery have given him every opportunity possible to help him develop socially, emotionally and physically. I cannot fault the team at all with everything they do.

We love how frequently we get updates, pictures and messages from staff showing us how he is doing and providing details of every little developmental milestone along the way.

He eats well, sleeps well and often comes home with signs of a good day on his clothes from either messy play activities or outdoor adventures!

At first I was very wary of leaving my baby with anyone other than family but I knew he had to go to nursery when I went back to work. Acorn at Brafield nursery is fantastic, the staff in the baby room are lovely and made me feel completely at ease leaving my baby, they sent lots of pictures, and made his journey of settling in a breeze. He absolutely loves going there and that is all down to the amazing staff. The ladies in the office were also super helpful in setting up everything needed like invoices, the app etc. Acorn nursery I would definitely recommend to any new parents.

Acorn Nursery are outstanding in the care and attention they provide for our children. There are opportunities each day for the children to explore outside in safe environments, village walks and forest school activities. The meals provided are balanced and full of nutrients. The staff are all absolutely lovely and our children settled really well from a young age.

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.

Acorns is a wonderful, caring nursery with brilliant outdoor learning (we love the forest school element) and a lovely range of activities and meals. Our daughter loves it here and has made a lot of great friends. We feel totally reassured knowing she's in such a safe, nurturing place.

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.

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 :)

We absolutely love this nursery and everything they do for our boys. It truly feels like a home from home. Every single member of staff is so kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the children. We especially love the outdoor element - both of our boys thrive being outside, and the addition of forest school for our eldest has been amazing. He has absolutely loved the campfires and outdoor adventures. It really is such a lovely nursery, and we feel incredibly lucky that our children get to go here.

My son currently attends this nursery and I couldn't be happier. The staff are so attentive and caring. They have a Key Person and Buddy system, which means there are 2 Key People who know him and his routine/needs well and we always have a point of contact should we have any questions.

The rest of the room staff are also great with him and everyone in the building says hello or good-bye to all the children which is lovely to see.

My son absolutely loves going, he always has a big smile when he realises where we are and goes straight to staff with arms open which makes leaving him so much easier for me.

The food is great and cooked fresh, and is varied so my son gets to try different foods to home with lots of fruit and veg.

The outdoor space is amazing and they do lots of little trips around the local area such as to the library or shops! I can't wait for him to reach the big room so he can try Forest School too.

I couldn't have picked a better nursery, I highly recommend.

As she is moving up to the next class, and my littlest joins her new class, they've honestly made it so much easier for them and for me. With great feedback, focus on their likes and dislikes and they feel like an extension of the family at this point.

Highly satisfied with Acorn Day Nursery. Our child is consistently developing & learning well within the setting. The staff are incredibly helpful with any queries we may have & provide excellent personalised care for our child based on individual needs. Plenty of outdoor play in a large garden & little day trips out for the children including Forest school. Our child is always happy after a day at nursery & our second child is joining Acorn this year too & we couldn't be more pleased.
