Day Nursery Owned by Little Acorns Child Care Ltd in Greater Manchester

effectively on the event of an emergency, Eg allergens.
The nursery say they are open with communication and welcome parents to contact them, but they delete and block parents who raise a concern. They failed to share the new ofsted report (rated inadequate) and when parents asked, they were blocked from the social media page with their comments deleted.
No transparency from management and beyond patronising in their responses to complaints/reviews. Back to blaming the former staff for parents experiences as its easier than them admit they were wrong and put children in a dangerous position.
The new area manager put fees up TWICE in 2025 with nothing extra despite promising new activities.

pushing for unqualified staff to be left unsupervised with our children.
Our SEN child is now regressing due to such extreme change in routine and has left him struggling
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.

created a lovely bond with her keyworker! Then one day while at work I was getting repeated notifications from the nursery app about staff leaving all in one day?! Concerning for any parent I would say and who wouldn't have questions? There was no explanation behind these resignations other than management/owner issues. Area manager was questioned as to what was happening but she buried her head in the sand and ignored all our concerns. We pulled our daughter out & have seen the recent ofsted inspection at nursery with new staff that is rated inadequate & that staff basically do not acknowledging children when they try to interact but would rather chat amongst themselves and wonder around

this setting is beyond a joke and allows unqualified members of staff into the nursery without informing the parents of the change. When safeguarding concerns were raised, these were brushed off.
Parents were not introduced to the new staff or even aware of who would be coming in. A post on the nursery app from a new worker was the first introduction parents got and it was asking for pictures of the kids/parents.
Almost 40 children were pulled out of this nursery at the end of May due to the safeguarding concerns.
The positive reviews are about the staff that have now all left - please remember that.

questions, we were met with vague or no answers. After withdrawing my son, I received no communication-just removed from the app with no word from the area manager or owner. The positive reviews reflect staff who have now left to protect the children. A recent visit showed only one unqualified staff member left alone with children-completely unacceptable. This nursery has become unsafe, unprofessional, and poorly managed. It should not be operating under these conditions. For the safety of your children, I strongly urge you to stay away.

was leaving with no other job to go too being forced out by the area manager. This was due to how it was being ran by the area manager and wanting to bring in people who arent qualified or speak/read our language to look after our children. My partner has a life threating allergy that would not be able to safe guarded from
When confronting the area manager who ignored all the parents on the app she laughed and blamed the staff, some who have been there over 10 years. We was given no option to pull out our child. The ratios the management was happy to leave the children in is unsafe and illegal ,as they wouldn't tell OFSTED or parents who was actually working to look after the children.

who is looking to put their children into nursery.

who works there as they all work as a team each member in each room so it makes it so much easier for transition. This is what I liked most about the nursery as my child's feelings mean more than anything else! It's home from home for my little girl! The manager is so accommodating and will help as much as she can when help is needed. I would highly recommend any mother and child this nursery! Keep up what you guys are doing you are all a dream.

an goes above an beyond in there roles!
An incredible little nursery

thought about changing nursery! The staff are amazing and are so helpful whenever it's needed!

lovely and our little boy has an amazing relationship with each of them, my only wish is I would have started him there sooner, grateful to all the staff.

amazing. We will miss you all.

sad to be leaving for the next adventure.

all through his time here. A truly family feel permeates the whole setting and I know I'm leaving my little one in good hands.

care, attention and positivity. My daughter now cannot wait to get out of the car to get into nursery which speaks volumes. Within weeks of my daughter starting at Little Acorns she has come on so much, her speech is improving and she is learning new things every day, coming home and telling me what she has been up to at nursery. The nursery has a huge outdoor area which is perfect as my daughter loves the outdoors. I feel so lucky to have found a nursery with such a wonderful and happy environment for my daughter. My youngest daughter starts in a few weeks and I know she is going to be just fine here. Thank you to all the staff for looking after my girls I will be forever grateful.
