and learning to prepare the children for school. All aspects of care are exceptional, down to the carefully curated food menu and themed weeks every term, and thorough updates and reviews throughout the term. Thank you Acorns!

leads with love, and it's clear that each member of the team shares her passion for nurturing young minds.
The environment is both loving and secure, making it the perfect place for little ones to grow. Learning here is exciting and fun, we hear all about our daughter's adventures as she chatters happily about them on our way home each day. Whether it's exploring the outdoors, diving into creative play, or discovering new concepts, the team ensures every day is filled with curiosity and joy. We're so grateful for the care, attention, and heart they put into everything they do.

a 'home from home' for them. Nutritious home cooked meals are the icing on the cake!

I mean instantly - at their settle sessions neither of them wanted to leave! They have both grown so much in such a short space of time. This is entirely down to the brilliant, warm and engaging teachers, the focus on the early years curriculum and the beautiful homely environment management and the team have created at 59. The boys run up the drive every morning at drop off and are excited to share everything they've been learning at the end of the day.

education focus and since my daughter turned 3 she has been part of their reading scheme. She has dedicated reading time with a staff member each week with written comments so that we're able to follow her progress.
We couldn't be happier with The Acorns and we plan to place our younger child there too.

celebrating our national festivals at the nursery which is amazing!
My child is bilingual and she has been wonderfully supported in her speaking journey. She is part of the reading scheme where they read books in English both in the setting and we do the same at home. This is one of her favourite avtivities!
She developed amazing friendships at the nursery which I hope will be long lasting.

environment for the children to explore, play and learn. Our daughter looks forward to her nursery days as much as she does being at home. Which is a true testament to the environment that Acorns has created. Where learning and fun go hand in hand!

with the positivity of the staff and how they genuinely do care about my child's well-being and development.
They have helped me with her journey through potty training and getting dressed and undressed.
She now has friends who she talks about when at home and has a nurturing approach to her peers that has come from being around the nursery ethos, as she is an only child.
I cannot stress enough how great this place is!

focus on phonics and educational content such as different cultures or dealing with emotions, plus plenty of time for fun and games and loads of outdoor time. Unlike with a lot of other venues, we are confident that every member of staff at Acorns is very experienced and has been there a long time which is very reassuring. The staff all seem to have genuine care for the children and this shines through at every pick up and drop off and the way that our son interacts with them. We are confident that the staff at Acorns have the experience to deal with a whole range of different children and needs to prepare them for the next stage which is extremely important in these early years.

at a million miles an hour constantly creating games and storytelling, this again has been encouraged and supported in a safe space, which is just amazing to see.
Every activity is sooo cleverly thought out by all of the teachers prior and both my bubs can tell me about what they learned that week. It's also wonderful for them to show their Nannie and grandad their art work in the library when they visit one day a week (they do not live locally and it's a mini view into their world at nursery)
We are very lucky to have found a nursery and both bubs have loved every second of going.

of care and we were given so much information on settling in. When I pick him up we always have a good chat and catch up on what they have done in the day.
The activities are varied and well planned out and organised. Meals are great and we get given so much information about the plans each term which is so reassuring to be so well informed.
Can't say much more than We really love it!

created.
The activities are thoughtfully planned, engaging, and tailored to help the children grow and explore at their own pace. I also appreciate the open communication with the staff-they truly make us feel like part of a family.
Knowing my son is in a place where he is happy, safe, and learning so much brings me immense peace of mind. Thank you, The Acorn for everything you do-you are incredible!

about them outside of the nursery. My child is displaying positive behaviours which are supported by everyone around her. The staff ask termly for targets to work with and she has hit every one of them. My child is showing clear understanding of phonics after such a small amount of time and such a young age, thanks to the nursery. The large book has helped myself and my husband support her through her learning. My child eats a range of healthy foods and is closely monitored for her behaviour with others and this is modelled by the staff there. This is by far the best nursery locally, it hits all my criteria, which was a very extensive list!

each child and they get the best out of them. My daughter is genuinely excited about going to The Acorns every day, which was not the case with her previous nursery. The staff are kind, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. They take huge pride in their work and the children are, in turn, proud to belong to The Acorns. The food is home-cooked every day and the environment is delightful. The garden is simply magical. The love and attention that has gone into the space here means the children get so much joy from it. The curriculum planning is second to none. I am blown away by how much my daughter learns. She has great fun and has developed strong relationships. It is the best!

the site. When it comes to meal times, it’s lovely that all of the children sit together and eat like they are at home. Having my son in a home environment was important to me as he goes to nursery multiple times per week and I wanted it to feel like home away from home. Staff are very caring and my son has a lovely time at The Acorns with the other children. He enjoys the food and activities offered and we always pick him up clean and happy!
