Review from Ian R (Father of Child) published on 17 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been attending Acorns for just over 6 months now and we are over the moon with how well this has gone.
The setting has a real family feel to it and they are very careful to ensure that the number of children is suitable for the size. For that reason and its fantastic reputation, getting on the waiting list as early as you can is highly recommended.
All the staff are super friendly and very open to any questions and feedback. We get regular updates throughout the day. We don't get lots of pictures (1 or 2 per week), but that works for us as we would prefer they were caring for our child rather than taking a load of picture all the time.
They put on lots of special occasions and celebrate events across a diverse set of cultures and faiths. I've had the pleasure of attending one of these events and it was great to see how happy our daughter was.

If we were to have any future children we would have no hesitation in sending them to Acorns. Thank you to the team!

Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending this nursery for the past six months, and I honestly couldn't be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, the team have been so supportive and welcoming.
She did struggle settling in for the first couple of weeks, which is completely natural, but the wonderful women there handled it with so much care and patience. They went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe, comforted, and secure. Their reassurance meant so much to us as parents, and before long she had completely settled in and now absolutely loves going each day.

What truly makes this nursery so special is the amazing women who work there. Each and every one of them is kind, nurturing, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and development. They create such a warm, homely atmosphere that makes it easy to leave your child knowing she is safe, happy, and very well looked after. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a caring, special place for our daughter!

Review from Natalie A (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Before visiting Acorn's Day nursery, I had visited other nurseries and instantly knew, they weren't where I wanted my son to attend. As my son is my only child, I wondered if all nurseries were like the ones I'd visited, that was until I went to Acorn's. The atmosphere, the staff, the family like feel and organisation was so beyond my expectations, I was desperate for him to get a place there and my gosh, I thank my lucky stars every day that he did. He's attended for over a year now and he absolutely loves it. He eats well, sleeps well there, looks forward to going in, he loves the staff. They offer the children a fabulous range of activities and help with their developmental milestones. The care and kindness my son has received is something I'll forever be grateful. I can't recommend this nursery enough.

Reply from Karen Edwards, Director at Acorns Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you for the lovely review we are delighted to have your little one and love watching as he grows into a confident learner.

Review from L T (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are so glad we moved our daughter to Acorns Day Nursery. We previously had her at another setting and after two months it was clear she just wasn't happy there.
Even during her settling-in days at Acorns, we were sent photos of her smiling - something we had never received before. At her previous nursery she was often upset and in tears, so seeing her so happy has meant everything to us.
The staff are incredibly warm, caring and approachable, and our daughter took to them straight away. The team are clearly invested in the children's development. They've already begun supporting her independence by helping her drink from a regular cup and have spoken positively about encouraging potty training, which has been such a contrast to our previous experience.

She hasn't been there long, but we genuinely couldn't be happier with our decision. Thank you for making her and us feel so comfortable and supported.

Overall Experience
Acorn has been absolutely fantastic with my son since his first visit.
I couldn't thank them enough for everything they've done.
Our key worker was amazing, kind and patient.

We've felt constantly supported and all staff members went above and beyond to make sure our son thrived and was ready for school.

It has always felt like a home away from home.

Incredible nursery, and we were very sad to leave and move onto school.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Thank you for your kind words it was a delight to have you all as part of our Acorns family! Wishing you all well for the future.

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Acorns Day Nursery enough. Sending both of my boys there since they were around 8-9 months old has been one of the best decisions I've made. From the moment you step into Acorns, it's clear that the staff are not only friendly but also incredibly supportive and nurturing. My boys adore their caregivers, which makes dropping them off a breeze instead of a struggle. It's heartwarming to see how well the staff connect with the children and foster a loving environment.

One of the standout aspects of Acorns is the variety of activities they offer. They regularly host external visitors, such as animal handlers, which my boys find particularly exciting. December is especially magical, packed with festive activities. They have nurtured my children's curiosity and creativity & I have every confidence that my boys will leave for school fully prepared, thanks to the dedicated team at Acorns.

Reply from Karen Edwards, Director at Acorns Day Nursery Ltd

We are delighted to hear that the boys are enjoying all that nursery has to offer and look forward to making more memories with them. Thank you for your lovely review!

Overall Experience

Our daughter joined Acorns when we relocated, at the age of 2, and she has loved every minute. From the moment we looked around, we knew it would be a real home from home.

The staff are all wonderful - caring, dedicated, and so hardworking. It's such a nurturing environment, while also encouraging the children to be independent.

The owner puts so much thought into the activities, including lots of lovely extras such as external visitors and experiences that make the nursery even more special.

Since joining, our daughter's confidence has grown enormously, and she is leaving so well prepared and excited for school. We couldn't have asked for a better start for her

Reply from Karen Edwards, Director at Acorns Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's always wonderful to hear that we've made a positive impact and that the little ones have enjoyed their time with us, along with enjoying all the added extras along the way. We wish you and your family all the very best for the future

I have had 3 children come to Acorns Day Nursery and I have been very happy with the care they have given to my children. I visited a lot of nurseries initially when my first was born and Acorns stood out - the children are happy and the staff really amazing. They are fantastic at preparing children for school and my boys have left nursery ready and confident to start school.

Reply from Karen Edwards, Director at Acorns Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you for your lovely words we wish you and your family all the best for the future. I am sure the boys will do well in all that they do. Don't forget to pop back to visit us we love seeing the children and hearing about their adventures and achievements.

Overall Experience

When viewing nurseries for my children, I loved Acorn's from the first visit. Both of my children have had wonderful experiences and Acorn's has been a special part of their early years. The staff are very welcoming, nurturing, and caring and the environment is like a home from home. We loved the regular observations on the app and seeing the amazing range of activities the children do. Both of my children also loved the special activities and events throughout the year- all of which were fun and enriching experiences.

Reply from Karen Edwards, Director at Acorns Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are truly delighted to have been such a special part of your children's early years journey and glad that they have had the opportunity of many of our enrichment opportunities. It has been a pleasure watching them grow and thrive nursery and we wish you and your family all the very best for the future, and hope your next adventures are just as wonderful!

Overall Experience

Our daughter joined Acorns a little over 3 months ago and we have been beyond impressed. She always comes home happy and as a first-time mum, I have found the updates and photos throughout the day to be very reassuring. Her key worker has formed a lovely bond with her and has even helped her with her first steps. The staff are all very professional and lovely and nothing ever seems like too much to ask. I would highly recommend Acorns to anyone and everyone.

Reply from Karen Edwards, Director at Acorns Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that your little one has developed such a strong bond with their key person. Building these relationships is so important, and we love being part of their learning and growth. We look forward to sharing many more wonderful moments and learning experiences together!

Review from Paul W (Father of Child) published on 27 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We've had two children go to the Nursery over the last 7 years, and the Nursery has been very much a part of our lives. Our youngest is just moving on to School, and we are so happy with Acorns for how much they have loved on both our Children.
The Nursery atmosphere is fantastic, we've never had any problems with staff or management - in fact, it's nice to have a call with them sometimes!
The staff turnover is very low, and the mix of age ranges of the nursery staff is varied. Both my daughters loved the younger staff for the 'big sister' feel and the older/more experienced staff for their motherly approach.

We will definitely miss all the staff, and are very thankful for their input into our girl's lives.

Reply from Karen Edwards, Director at Acorns Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We are truly grateful for your positive comments about our staff and the care we provide.

Overall Experience

Our daughter started in September 2023 and was made very welcome, with a well-managed set of acclimatisation days. She is very happy to go to nursery and I am very impressed with how professionally it is run. You can see from the updates that the care is very good, the children have a lot of fun and they are well looked after here. It was a little out of our way, but looking back, it is worth the extra drive for us, having visited a couple of other nurseries prior to that. I feel very informed of how my daughter's day goes and she rarely wants to leave at the end of the day! Can highly recommend this nursery!

Reply from Karen Edwards, Director at Acorns Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that your child is enjoying their time at Acorns. It's always rewarding to know that they are happy and thriving with us.

Overall Experience

We have sent all three of our children to Acorns and have been extremely happy with the care that has been given. The strength of the nursery is definitely the staff and management who are fantastic. They regularly informed us of our children's progress and used the app to display all of the fun activities they participated in. There is definitely a family feel about the nursery which is lovely at various points throughout the year have lovely events like an Easter bonnet parade, world book day picnic, nativity show etc and they always celebrate birthdays as well as religious holidays meaning our children get to learn a lot about other cultures which is great. All of our children had lots of wonderful opportunities such as French, drama, reptile visits, farm visits, and trips to the park to name a few. I would highly recommend this nursery and just want to say a big thank you to them for looking after and helping our children to develop.

Overall Experience

We have just finished our time at Acorns Day Nursery as my youngest is starting school and we were very sad to be saying goodbye. We have spent 7 incredibly happy years at the nursery with both my daughter and son, and we couldn't have wished for more. The staff are kind, caring, encouraging, enthusiastic and supportive of both the children but also us as a wider family. They have provided the best possible educational start for both children and have supported us all through some difficult times over the years. The range of experiences available to the children was excellent, from French and drama lessons to petting zoos, road safety classes and entertainers. They also got to grow and harvest vegetables and see caterpillars turn into butterflies. Every day was different and both children always came home happy and full of excitement for the next day. We love Acorns and can't recommend them highly enough.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. It has been a true pleasure to share in all the wonderful highs with your family over the years and to provide support during some of life's challenges.

Lovely nursery with a home-from-home environment.
My son has attended both the baby and the toddler room and we've been very happy with both.
All the staff have been wonderful with our son and supporting his development. They offer a wide variety of activities for the children to get involved in and occasionally have exciting visitors to the nursery such as a yearly farm visit.

As a result, we have a little boy who loves nursery days.

Our daughter started at Acorns at 6 months old and we couldn't be happier with how she has developed and she has been looked after by every single member at Acorns. She is now nearly 3 years old and runs in every morning, and absolutely loves being there. It makes us so happy to have found the perfect nursery for her. We were so impressed and couldn't ask for anything more that we have also sent our son there since he was 6 months old too. The manager makes it a home away from home, and her incredible staff do a fantastic job of making every day the best day for our children. We couldn't recommend Acorns Day Nursery enough and we are so lucky to have found it! Thank you everyone.

Both our children attend the nursery and absolutely love it. The staff are so friendly my older son looks forward to coming in, we have never had a problem with either of them getting upset going in. The nursery does loads of fun extras for the kids, they love seeing the animals come in, and watching their flowers and vegetables grow. It's such a warm environment and I have noticed their progression in speech and development since going to Acorns. The kids also love all the food they eat there and all the time they get to play in the garden.

Our daughter started in January 2023 and settled in so quickly with the welcoming, friendly staff and lovely surroundings. Our daughter has allergies and not once have we had any issues of any kind. They take it as seriously as we do and on Grandparents' Day, my mum even said how impressed she was with how they managed serving and washing up separately. The range of activities are great with lots of visiting professionals like fire services, animals, magicians etc. The staff are experienced and it shows through in the way they interact with us, as parents, and the children. 100% recommend.

I am so happy that we chose to send our daughter to this nursery. From the moment we took a COVID-safe tour of the nursery to now, I truly feel like it is a parent/nursery partnership with the children's needs at the very centre. They are proactive in linking in with the children's interests - after a conversation about where animals live, they are now building their own Savannah Desert - and they are always looking to stretch their learning in a fun and engaging way.
