Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with our experience at this wonderful nursery! From the very beginning, the team has been warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. It's clear that the staff truly love what they do, and that makes all the difference.
Our child has grown so much in confidence, independence, and social skills since starting here. The activities are creative, engaging, and thoughtfully planned, giving the children opportunities to learn through play in a safe and nurturing environment.
We especially love the opportunity for forest school in Mighty Oaks. It's such a fantastic experience for the children to explore nature and develop practical skills outdoors. Seeing our child come home excited about this has been so special.
Communication with parents has been excellent. We are kept informed of daily activities, milestones and any updates.

We wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, stimulating and loving environment for their little one.

Overall Experience

We have absolutely loved our experience at The Acorn Nursery. The staff are genuinely like sunshine each day, greeting every child with such warmth and care. The nursery has a wonderful community atmosphere and feels very inclusive. We especially love the range of activities and clubs on offer, as well as the lunch options provided. We were also thrilled to see that there is a piano and singing in every room. It truly feels like an extension of your family, which is exactly the kind of nurturing environment children aged 2-4 need in their early years.

Since the Acorn first opened its doors over twenty years ago, its vision has been to provide a sanctuary in the heart of bustling Notting Hill for children and parents alike.

We like to think of the Acorn as a home from home. A safe place where your children can take their first steps into independence, and where you, their parents, can be supremely confident that they are cherished, secure, stimulated and, above all, happy along the way.
