Cranbrook Independent Nursery & Pre-School - Acorn Cottage

Thank you to all the amazing staff for your patience, kindness and dedication!

Our children have both been to Acorn Cottage, and our decision to move, was a very reluctant one due to family life. All the staff at Acorn, have been thoroughly supportive of our children and us as a family over the nearly six years. Acorn have provided the home away from home. The staff are interested in all aspects of the children's lives, both in school and at home. The encouragement/love/dedication and knowing each child individually is a special gift and our children have formed such special bonds with all the staff and their individual key workers there, that with their support, our children have flourished. The staff are very supportive of home life as well, and personally have found the stability of Acorn for the children, very comforting and helpful in the last 12 to 18 months. The manager and her team are amazing! There are no words to say thank you for everything over our time with Acorn, and it is a heart breaking decision having to change.

The nursery/preschool is clean and safe for kids, lots of green space outside including forest school. Equipment and games during the day are imaginative and developing for young ones. Staff are friendly and caring and involved in kids spare time (home and weekend time) asking lots of questions about what they did and encourage kids to talk a lot, kids are engaged with staff.
