The Acorns Nursery School & Forest School (59 Denmans Lane)

Acorns in Lindfield is a really wonderful nursery. It has excellent staff who are incredibly caring and really happy children. The nursery has a great ethos and prepares children really well for school, both in terms of learning but, at least as importantly, in terms of confidence and peer relationships. Acorns is a very special place.

My daughter currently attends Acorns and loves it! We couldn't be happier with the care and nurturing she receives by the team, she talks all the time about her teachers and what she does at Nursery. My son also attended Acorns and he blossomed with confidence which was lovely, as he is a naturally shy child. He went to big school fully prepared and the nursery certainly did an outstanding job.

Our son absolutely loves being at Acorns - it's a great nursery with wonderful staff and surroundings. He bounds in every morning and loves telling us about his days when he gets home. There nursery has a great atmosphere and all the other children seem equally happy. There is also plenty of opportunity to be outside which is a great plus.

At the end of this academic year, our youngest child will leave The Acorns. It will be a bittersweet day: Sad because 4 years as part of the Acorns family will draw to a close but happy because our youngest child will go out into the world a strong, confident, happy child ready for her "big school" adventure. So much of her confidence and courage is down to her wonderful experience at The Acorns. The staff are kind, attentive, fun but above all just really get my children and our children realise this key fact which makes them very happy and secure. Both settings have done wonders for our children. Lindfield is cosy, creative, familiar and homely; Westmeston is exciting, free and a natural, beautiful setting perfect for adventures - they come back with mud on their wellies, colour on their cheeks and stories to share. I know I'm sentimental but our children have been so happy at the Acorns and we shall miss it very much.

My son has attended the Acorns since September. He has settled well and made friends. The staff are caring, experienced, and stimulating. They really do seem to go over & above. He is making pleasing progress but most importantly, he is happy. We couldn't be more pleased.

The staff are excellent, compassionate, caring and very creative in their activities and engagement. Every week is different. Two lovely settings. Our daughter is happy and challenged here. A great environment.

We adore The Acorns and so does our daughter. She has settled so well there and all the staff are extremely caring and kind to the children. The activities are well thought out and encourage learning through fun. I couldn't think of a better environment for small people to enter when leaving their mummies and daddies for the first time.

The Acorns in Lindfield is a friendly, nurturing environment where parents are encouraged to work in partnership with the staff to help develop their child. The planning of session content is excellent, and one term in, my daughter is looking forward to her nursery days and settling well.

My eldest daughter attended Acorns when we moved down from London. The transition to the nursery was seamless and she loved it the minute she arrived. My youngest currently attends and skips in every morning. Acorns is a magical and comforting place. The carers are all amazing and I feel totally at ease when my daughter is in their care. I would recommend Acorns to anyone.

The Acorns is a wonderful nursery where the children are encouraged to learn through play, make new friends and learn new skills. My son loves all the amazing staff and children. He has grown in confidence, learnt so many new things and especially loves the reading scheme. The Acorns is a warm and welcoming nursery; a place where all the children are encouraged to grow as individuals, embrace creativity and imagination and are prepared for the start of school life.

The Acorns Nursery School is very good for kids and I think best one in West Sussex! Good staff, great learning and outdoor playing and activities plus good care etc! I would recommend to all parents who want start nursery this year or after!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Acorns to friends!

The atmosphere at Acorns nursery in so homely and friendly for the lucky children who attend the nursery. The manager and her team are clearly passionate about what they do and this is apparent in the varied learning and play activities on offer. The children always appear happy and engaged in what they are doing. The outdoor garden is a huge bonus and an area where the children thrive. I would have no hesitation recommending this nursery!

The nursery has a very warm and welcoming environment and has certainly met all of our expectations. It is in a great setting and is like a home from home. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the Nursery to others.

The Acorns Nursery in Lindfield provides an excellent start in lifelong learning for young children. The staff are exceptionally helpful and provide a friendly and warm environment for the children. There is always a wide range of activities planned for the children and they are also taught important social skills to further their development. I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to any parent.

I am delighted that our son attends Acorns and I would recommend it to any parent.

I know that the staff provide love and care as if the children were their own. Highly recommended.

The staff work hard to prepare the children for school, whilst ensuring they spend their pre-school years having fun and exploring the world around them.

It was The Acorns who told me she was perfectly capable of using an open cup when I had previously persisted with a closed beaker, they were right.

They do lots of fun and engaging activities which help them to learn and make friends. We're really lucky to have such a great nursery.
