The nursery is beautifully decorated, well equipped and very homely, offering a nurturing environment which allows children to learn through exploration and play.

They follow the Early Years Foundation Stage with a particular focus on a child-centred approach nurturing each child's needs, interests and learning styles enabling them to become independent learners and reach their full potential.

Review from Joanne M (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We sent both of our children to Acorns Day Nursery and would recommend the service to anyone looking for a nurturing, supportive and loving environment for their children. Our children had the most positive experience which helped them for the next stages in their lives. The daily programme is inventive
and creative meaning the children are constantly stimulated and learn lessons that are the foundations for all of their future experiences.
The team is attentive and knowledgeable and always happy to offer support to both children and parents. I am very happy with the experience and support we had as a family over a 5 and a half years period.

My son has been going to Acorns for over 2 years and has a great time. The team are knowledgeable, kind and friendly. They do a wide variety of activities and I like that they use the online journal so I can see what he's been up to.

We are pleased with the level of care our son is experiencing at Acorns Day Care in his first year. He is happy and enjoying his time at the nursery. The environment is safe and the staff are friendly and caring. Looking forward to seeing my son enjoying Great Oak now!

We couldn't have asked for a better nursery. It has a real at home feel, the staff are fabulous and so caring. Our daughter has really flourished in the time she has been there and has come on leaps and bounds. Definitely the place for us and so worth it.

Our daughter has been going since the age of 10 months, she's now 2yrs 6months. We were recommended to go here by neighbours who equally found Acorns Day Nursery to be a great place to send their kids.
Overall we're very happy with everything and would have no hesitation in recommending them to friends
and family.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Or 4-year-old son has been at Acorns for over 2 years now and we have been happy with his development, the surroundings and the staff there.
The only slight concern we have is that the food I think could be better as they provide very basic meals generally.
We will be sending our younger son there
also in due course.

We have been very happy with the nursery. All of our children have attended and loved going there. They are encouraged in all aspects of development and we have an excellent relationship with the staff. Regular electronic updates keep us informed of their daily activities along with conversations with
the staff.

I can’t say enough how great all the staff and team are at Acorn Day Nursery. They make you feel comfortable and like nothing is too much to ask, especially as a working single mum. They have been a great addition to my child's learning development and her becoming the character she is. They always
keep you update with information of what events are coming up and on the parent app of what your child is up to on the days they go, which is great and puts your mind at ease knowing your child is learning and having great fun at the same time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two children have been going to Acorns Day Nursery for nearly 18 months and both are extremely happy. To be able to drop them off in the morning and leave knowing they are happy and don’t even know I’ve left is such a reassurance when leaving them for work! They talk about their friends and staff
regularly at home which shows me how comfortable they are at nursery. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and I’ve had not one complaint since the day they started. Very pleased with my choice of nursery, having viewed all nurseries in the area this was the only one I felt comfortable to leave my children!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.946)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.946) out of 10 for Acorns Day Nursery Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.946 for Acorns Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (193 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.946
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acorns Day Nursery Ltd is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
