Little Acorns Day Nursery

follow her interests as well as introducing her to new things. Her keyworker and all of the team there are brilliant and communicate really well how things are going, with a daily update, and I can tell they really think about and care about the development and wellbeing of the children, from the things they have done and said. They have a great outdoor space, including chickens! I couldn't recommend more highly.

to how well managed the nursery is.
The facilities are great and our daughter regularly tells us about things she has eaten there which we would struggle to feed her at home. Communication is great with handovers at the end of each day.
Even after we moved farther away we continued to send our daughter here, we love Little Acorns that much.

are not too big. They are teaching as preparation for school. They are really nice people. My child was interested in a certain topic and they created a corner with that topic with posters and books. They also encourage kids to be independent.

I don’t hesitate to recommend Little Acorns.

activities, kids always coming back with art and craft stuff, and they have trainers come in to do sports and exercise sessions. Plus there’s forest school. Food is well balanced, our kids tend to eat far wider variety of things at nursery than they do at home (fussy and moany at home). When we’ve had issues with potty training and behaviour, they’ve sat and brainstormed ideas with us, then assisted with any action plans we decide upon. Extremely supportive, not sure what we would do without them!

We’ve seen our daughter progress leaps and bounds (literally) as she’s attended Little Acorns.
The different imaginative play, equipment, classes, outside time and fresh food are all outstanding— she loves to attend nursery.
We have felt supported through nap progression and potty training— we think the staff helped immensely with both. So impressed and grateful the staff also, somehow, successfully managed to keep everything going throughout the pandemic! Hats off! Would highly recommend.

be sad not to be regular visitors once our youngest starts school this year! Highly recommended.

what they preach, in fact they’ve supported me in being a better parent- by sharing ways to resolve/ support some of my sons particular needs. Staff work beyond hard, in a pandemic they were irreplaceable and the children were so happy and lucky to have such fun filled days, where interactions and friendship have blossomed. For me it’s down to the exceptional manager, no ask is too great, her truthfulness, practical nature and diligence runs through her team members. My son doesn’t want to come home! The appearance of a large house, echoes the place being a home with a wonderful garden with apple tree, trampolines, and chickens. It’s definitely a space I’d like to spend my time!

both their children there many years ago and it's reputation continues to grow.

outdoor space is excellent and all the children get to spend time outside exploring and playing.
We love Little Acorns and would highly recommend it to any prospective parents.

been absolute troopers throughout the pandemic. They have never had to shut due to covid (apart from national lockdowns) and that is quite amazing. They also are great with our daughter’s vegan diet, and really listen to us about her needs. We always have a chat at the end of each day to find out how she’s been doing, and I just really appreciate the care they take in everything they do. It is also reasonably priced compared to others and has provision for the free 30 hours which not all nurseries do. Absolutely invaluable!

son or daughter up.

For our own son, the transition to an early years setting has been tough. He has quite particular learning needs, and in his first year, both his key worker and the SENCO went above and beyond to make sure he was both progressing and happy, even attending specific CPD training to further their skills when working with his specific needs.

The level of insight they have provided in observational material and informal feedback has been spot on. It shows attentional to detail and understanding and has always been communicated in a way that is empathetic of the feelings of parents that are emotionally invested in the lives of their children.

week to teach the children things like yoga, Spanish and drama. They also take them to forest school and organise lovely trips too. It's really reasonably priced, I recommend it to everyone looking for preschool childcare.

recommend this nursery to anyone.
