Review from Sam H (Mother of Child) published on 13 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Acorns Nursery have been my guardian angels. My son started when he was 9 months old and now he is 3.5 years old. I go to work and I don't have an ounce of worry because he is loved and cared for, to such a high level. His learning has progressed through each room and I know that when he starts school
in September, he will flourish. Every key worker is friendly and professional and my son loves them all. Would recommend this nursery to anyone.

If you consistently communicate well and express any concerns they are brilliant staff that care. Please at least give this nursery at least six months before making any decisions. Get to know them, make the effort and you will see their care, hard work and efforts.

I cannot fault this nursery, my son has developed so much since he has been going. When he joined he didn't say many words but with the help of the wonderful staff, he is now an absolute chatterbox. He has learnt so much and has so much fun. He asked to go there every day as soon as he wakes up.

I couldn't ask for a better after school club, all members of staff have been brilliant with my little girl and brilliant with any of my concerns! My little girl loves it so much she's asked to go every day, it's clear to see how happy and safe she feels with all the girls which makes me a happy mummy!

Acorns is a friendly, caring and welcoming environment for its children and parents. I am delighted at the level of care my son receives, and he has come on leaps and bounds since starting there. He will really miss Acorns when he starts school, especially the girls in the preschool room.

We've had a positive experience since my son joined two years ago. They have recently been especially good as we have been struggling with potty training, the staff have really helped him understand and get comfortable using the potty and toilet. It's still a work in progress but they have been very
patient. We are also about to move into the pre-school room and they have really gently helped my son feel comfortable in the room with lots of older girls and boys. They respond to his needs, follow his interests and help him grow and learn. I would recommend the nursery to others.

We signed up our little one from recommendation from family members. We loved the cosy nursery straight away. The staff are very welcoming. They arranged the place for our little one very quickly and helped her to settle down in two weeks. There are lots of activities, however we are not happy about
the children's sleeping area, as it is together with the activity area, maybe this should be separated in the future.
Reply from Angela Hemsley, Business Support Manager at Acorns Early Years Centre
Thank you for your review. With regards to the sleeping areas, our Babies have a separate room with cots in which they sleep. When children move up to our Toddler room, the sleeping area is prepared…read more

I have been extremely happy with the care and attention my daughter receives at Little Acorns Pre school. My daughter attends the government funded pre school class 4 times a week and the private nursery class once a week both of which I feel extremely confident leaving her with the lovely staff who
treat her very well.

My Daughter started at this nursery in Sep 2015, I was so worried about sending her until I met a member of staff who made me feel relaxed and promised to keep me updated in my daughter day to day activities.
She enjoys going to nursery everyday and the lovely ladies in her room are always happy
to answer my questions and support all her needs.
I couldn't be happier and would recommend this nursery 100%.
Thank you to all the staff for their caring and support since my daughter started.
