Day Nurseries Owned by Little Acorns Child Care Ltd

I cannot say enough about how brilliant this nursery is for my child. They have been absolutely fantastic! From the staff in the room right up to management. My child absolutely loves coming to nursery and tells me about all they learn during his day. Sometimes it's a struggle to get him to leave haha!!

The free flow indoor and outdoor and the Forrest school creates such great opportunities and experiences that make it so enjoyable for him.

The staff are kind, caring and really make an effort to know each child individually.

Keep up the good work. You are all a joy and we really thank you for everything you do day in day out to support, care and educate mine and other peoples children.

A warm and loving environment so spacious and an amazing outdoor space where children can play with themselves and enjoy every bit of activities.

Brilliant weekly curriculum and fun learning activities.

The team at Little Acorns are brilliant, they are really flexible and accommodating and nothing is too much trouble. Our son loves the team and looks forward to going in, he has extra care needs and all of the team go above and beyond to ensure he is really well looked after. I couldn't recommend the nursery and the team enough! - Great parking too.

Our experience within the nursery has been brilliant the staff are so thoughtful and attentive to our son. He has grown in confidence, social interaction and his communication skills are great we cannot thank them enough. We've seen our son join in activities and smiling that's all we can ask for also making friends. His emotional welbeing and understanding about feeling happy or sad by focusing on colours has helped him to know why he feels like that. The food is nutritionally brilliant he always likes to try new things I would definitely recommend Little Acorns.

Everything is clean and tidy also the management are great really nice people. They really care about the children and safe guarding is brilliant with necessary steps in place too keep the children safe at all times.

My son is very happy to go into the setting in the mornings and always wants to go back to nursery it's definitely a good setting to be in. I would definitely recommend this nursery. So much for children to do there and the garden is so big and spaced out.

My son has been attending Little Acorns since September 2025, and I couldn't be happier with the care he receives. He has additional needs and specific dietary requirements, and the team always goes above and beyond to cater to his needs and wishes.

A huge shout-out to Mary, Anjula, and Mishelle for their constant support, and to Patarica, who is no longer there but played such a big role in making sure my son's requests were always listened to. Grace is new but already doing an amazing job, and Lisa has been fantastic in managing my son's diet, fully understanding what he can and can't have. There are too many wonderful staff to mention individually!

I know my son is in safe hands at Little Acorns. Since starting in September, he has come on so much, and I feel completely assured every morning when I drop him off that he's not only well cared for but also having fun. Thank you to the whole team at Little Acorns for everything you do.

My toddler has been attending since December 2025 and he loves it here and is always excited to attend. The staff are caring and professional, always making sure our child feels safe and loved. The activities are engaging and help foster growth. The communication with parents is brill and we always feel well-informed. We couldn't ask for a better environment for our child. The nursery and back garden is very spacious as well which is great for playing. Thank you for everything. I highly recommend this nursery.

I'm very grateful for everything they do and would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

As a first time mum to a one year old and very anxious and nervous about putting her into a nursery due to her constantly being poorly with her (health) and both off us having attachment issues Iknow she a happy little soul in the nursery setting with the pictures I get sent. The staff are really reassuring and helpful and if they're any concerns they will contact you and always keeping you update about you're child

My little boy is truly reaping the benefits of being in Little Acorns' care, and it's lovely to see how happy and confident he's becoming. I'd highly recommend Little Acorns to any parent looking for a supportive and caring nursery environment for their children.

We know the nursery has faced some challenges in the past, but for us it's never impacted the care our children receive. Since the new management took over, things have clearly moved forward, and the team continue to do an excellent job looking after the children. It's a warm, nurturing setting, communication is great, and both our kids are thriving. We're really grateful for everything the staff do and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Little Acorns to other families.

The manager, Patricia, is wonderful and has really made an improvement. You can see the dedication she has for her role and the nursery. Overall we are extremely happy with the quality of care and attention the staff provide.

We struggled to find an appropriate setting for our youngest and had previously selected a nursery where the manager was rude and where our son never settled. Days before I was due to end my maternity leave, the nursery manager informed us that our son wouldn't be able to start due to him not settling in. In a panic we called Little Acorns that day and the area manager invited us in for a settling in session. We noticed that our son settled immediately with the staff and the other children. We now joke that he selected his setting for us. He's thriving at Little Acorns and has become such a confident toddler!

Would highly recommend

Thank you Little Acorns

The area manager jannette what a fantastic job she has done and continues to do for little acorns! I can not fault the woman or the nursery under her leadership! My oldest is autistic and she was absolutely amazing, helped me in any way I needed her to and still does now even after my children have left. My child would not be where he is now if it wasn't for jannette and little acorns staff and I cant thank them enough! My children both thrived in this setting

We made the choice to remove our child due to our poor experience, and after 2.5 years he left today to go to a different pre-school. He did not even receive a goodbye card.

We have had countless poor experiences including things such as; multiple changes in management that have left us as parents extremely concerned; multiple concerns around potential safeguarding issues; extremely poor communication from the area manager including the feeling of being lied to; upsetting concerns regarding my daughters happiness and wellbeing whilst on site. Specific examples of some of these things include, my daughter being left alone in a room so staff could answer the front door, staff not knowing where my daughter was when parent arrived to collect, my daughter being left without a key worker, my daughter having daily access to an iPad where she watched things such as an animated cartoon tv series, massive increase in accidents, often very poor first aid response, my concern that appropriate comfort not always offered after hurting herself, appropriate information about my daughters allergen not being kept on file. Please also see review on another review platform.

The new area manager put fees up TWICE in 2025 with nothing extra despite promising new activities.

Any communication with the area manager and owner has been awful and they've laughed at parents and staffs concerns. We've been ignored and patronised, including with how the new unqualified staff have limited communication skills to be able to communicate with children and parents, especially around medication, allergies, accidents and emergencies. Currently they have ignored every email to myself and other parents, still with no explanation of what happened and how they were supposed to rectify these safeguarding issue.
