Acres of Fun Day Nursery

come back dirty, red-cheeked from being outside and with a smile on their faces - perfect. What's more, you can be confident that they have eaten a well-balanced meal to keep their bodies fuelled for the next "adventure". When things haven't gone quite to plan Acres has been prepared to listen to concerns and has reacted appropriately, in my book the sign of an institution that really cares about the service they are offering.

she was happy at nursery. All of the staff are lovely and very informative when it comes to childcare. They support your style at home, as we did baby led weaning and they helped us to persevere with that at nursery too. We also love the online diary tool where you can see pictures of them doing activities and can see all the fun they are having. I also like that they link this to their Early Years Curriculum, so you get a good idea of how they are developing. Lastly, the grounds themselves are great and there is so much outside space for the kids to run around, along with the animals they keep on site too. I would recommend this nursery to a fellow parent in a heartbeat.

he is thriving in such an interactive and creative environment. I particularly love the vast outdoor space, every day when I collect him he is outside running around in the fresh air. Sometimes he doesn't want to leave. Thanks to everyone at Acres for making it a home away from home for my child.

has helped him develop into a bright inquisitive and cheeky young lad. The facilities and activities put on at Acres are just amazing, there is always something exciting happening and well thought out and planned days. The grounds are stunning with plenty of focus on outside play, which is just so important for young children. Then there is the food, seasonally varied menu, all home cooked on site with local quality produce - breakfast, 2 hot meals and snacks - and from the tasters we have had - all delicious. I could not have been happier with what Acres has offered our son. Thank you to all the team, you all work so very hard to give the kids the best experience possible.

been great: enthusiastic, proactive, swift to provide feedback, good-humoured and above all, kind.

It was the emphasis on outdoor and sociable activities at Acres of Fun that sold it to us in August 2014. I would stick by this. Just as important has been the range of activities, including French lessons, ballet, football, gardening and cooking.

It will be a real wrench for my daughter, and for her parents, when we get to the end of her time at Acres in August 2018. The Acres team have done a flawless job and I would recommend Acres of Fun to anyone.

various activities including swimming in the summer, planting vegetables, football and ballet. She and I have made some great friends and we’ll both miss Acres when she starts school in September.

quality home cooked food, all prepared from scratch onsite - I wouldn't send my children anywhere else!

time Mum I have found it quite hard leaving him, however, I feel completely at ease now due to the fantastic staff.
Thank you, I cannot wait to watch my child grow with your setting.

are exciting and help him learn; he has grown in confidence and formed close attachments to lots of the staff, especially his key workers. The staff are professional and understanding, showing flexibility to ensure the children feel at home. The grounds and garden areas are superior to any other nursery we looked at -each room has a private garden just for those children and then there is a huge garden. I like that all the children can be outside at the same time. The food is varied and interesting. Our child has an allergy and the nursery is so good at providing for him. He is very happy at nursery and I think it’s down to the excellent quality of care and provision at Acres.

the nursery, we couldn't think of her going anywhere else. The staff are so knowledgeable, really take an interest in our daughter and her development and offer us so much advice on a daily basis. The facilities are unrivalled in terms of the space for the children to run around and enjoy the outdoors. Every day, rain or shine the children are outside and enjoying getting muddy, learning about nature or the animals and letting off some steam in the garden or woods. We love Acres of Fun and can't recommend it highly enough.

trained when she was 1.5 years old. Her key worker encouraged her to go on the potty when she felt she was ready for it! Now at pre-school she enjoys every minute! Their environment around the nursery is excellent with the fairy house, their park etc... Highly recommended.

and I specifically like that they spend a fair amount of time exploring and enjoying the outdoors. The nursery staff are excellent and caring, to both of our children and both enjoy attending. They are also accommodating where additional days are required etc.
I would highly recommend.

varied from the fundamentals to football training, ballet and learning French. I put particular emphasis on how the staff encourage empathy, friendship and the all-important manners. Their Ofsted report says it all.
I believe when our children get excited about attending nursery and preschool that is a very good gauge as to the true nature of Acres of Fun.

life skills and the rapport with the staff team who are dedicated to the needs of the children.
