Our daughter started nursery in September. We were worried about the transition as she is very clingy to me (mum) and had never really been away from me. We could not have been more impressed with how the staff welcomed her, got her into a routine and supported with our requests and home routine. She loves nursery, smiles when we talk about it, and runs in on her own in the morning. We are very happy parents to know she’s happy while she is away from us!
My daughter started at Acorn Day Nursery New Bradwell in January and has settled amazingly! All of the staff are fab and have helped my daughter integrate into the rest of the group with ease. We love how it is free flow and how our daughter has the opportunity to interact with younger children as she is due a new sibling in the next few weeks. All in all, I cannot fault the care given to our daughter and how with regular updates from the nursery, I too have transitioned well.
All the staff are friendly and engaging and above all, patient. They have helped our son progress massively and achieve things he otherwise would not. He loves all the staff and is always talking about them.
Great nursey, my son also went here too, then went up to foundation one in New Bradwell School.
The staff and response time to any messages has been amazing. My kids love it and never want to come home, which made me feel so much better about their long days while Im working!
Cannot thank you enough! Lovely ladies!
This is a brilliant nursery that tends to my child very well and keeps me updated even throughout the sessions on what my child is doing. The staff are always caring and understanding when dealing with my child. The staff make me feel comfortable at pick-ups and drop-offs.
I find Acorn in New Bradwell lovely so far. The staff in Millers are so welcoming and understanding as well. And made me and my son feel happy with being apart for the little time he's at nursery. My son has only started in September but so far he really enjoys it and made some little friends. He really loves 2 members of staff, in particular, they are wonderful with him.
An absolute outstanding nursery. We have four children and they have all attended Millers, time for twos. Our third child is also autistic and has many special needs. The staff, especially his keyworker supported his needs, in a most fantastic way. He was walking and extremely happy by the end of the year. Thank you so much ladies. We really appreciate everything you have done for our children and us as a family. Our youngest child joined Millers in September of this year and is extremely happy. He wants to leave the house ten minutes early just so he gets to the nursery ASAP.
Our daughter was made to feel so welcome at breakfast and after-school club and so were we. When we drop her off, she enters with a smile and when we pick her up she is so engrossed in playing with other children, running about outside or participating in arts and crafts. Communication with parents is fantastic too.
My daughter has been with Acorn from Nursery and loves the holiday club now that she is in the school. I can honestly say she looks forward to half term to attend the club, she always comes home having done a fun activity during the day and is excited to return. A lovely caring team who genuinely loves spending time with the children and bringing out the best in them.
The boys thoroughly enjoyed their time at the Easter holiday club. I looked forward to the wonderful things they created whilst there. The staff are amazing and so supportive with all the children. Great value for money.
My sons (8 and 5) both attend this holiday club on a regular basis and they absolutely love it. In fact, when informed they would be doing only half days, they complained and asked for full days. The staff are friendly and flexible, food is good (so I'm informed) and the variety of activities on offer is brilliant. The administrative team are extremely accomodating and helpful, and the fees are very competitive. All in all, thoroughly recommended (by me and my boys)!
My children attend the holiday club and always enjoy the range of activities on offer. The food is good and the staff very friendly and helpful! My sons are 7 and 5 and enjoy playing with children aged 4-11 and always talk about their new friends!
My daughter attends during the school holidays and loves being there. Every day my daughter comes home telling us of all the activities she did throughout the day. She gets so excited and can't wait to go back. My wife even got told off for picking up early! Staff are all friendly and it's clear they listen to the children and help them feel very welcome and safe. We've since mentioned to other parents and they too have booked for a trial and are very happy with the service provided.
My son was full-time with the nursery team from the age of one when I returned to work. The team were so amazing and made the transition for me back to work as easy as it could be, it was so reassuring to know he was well cared for. He was always happy and well-occupied with educational and fun activities. He then attended the F1 and F2 classes so we enjoyed the hybrid care offered by the team. Now my son is in year 1 we have enjoyed the benefits of breakfast club, supper club, and holiday club. The team are so warm and supportive and I always feel happy knowing he is in such good hands. Holiday clubs are really fun and he loves the variety of seasonal activities on offer. The team always make a huge effort and there are a big variety of things for the kids allowing them to mix with different ages. Would highly recommend the fantastic team at Acorn.
Great nursery. My eldest boy has attended the nursery before going to school he absolutely loved the nursery. My little boy runs in every morning since he is 7 months old and he loves to go there . Amazing staff with so much heart and caring mindset, they are really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. They always keep me informed about daily activities. He is very well looked after and as a mum, I feel happy knowing that he is feeling comfortable and that he is enjoying every day. Thank you all for your hard work!
My son has been attending for over 2 years and he is extremely happy in the nursery. My son is always so excited to go to nursery and I get lots of updates on what he is up to by sending me photos, videos, and progress plans. The staff at Acorn are lovely and friendly and have made me very comfortable and reassured that my son is in safe hands. Personally, I highly recommend Acorn Day Nursery (New Bradwell) to all families and friends.
My daughter goes to this nursery and is always so excited when she gets there in the mornings. All the staff are so lovely, my daughter has so much fun here and she always has a smile on her face when I pick her up. Very happy and pleased to have been recommended this nursery by a friend.
We’ve had a great experience with Acorn nursery in New Bradwell. My eldest son attended the nursery before going to school and he loved it. My youngest son has started attending recently and the staff have made sure that he settles in well. The administration team are also great and quick to get back to me. Thank you, everyone.
Acorn nursery is absolutely fantastic, my daughter loves to go there. Management and staff are amazing, they take good care of the children and are very helpful. Different facilities and activities to support children learning are available.
