Great nursery all around. The staff are very attentive and caring. Both of my children attended this nursery, and I never considered any other. The children are well supported in their development. The building and the garden are amazing - I don't know any other nursery that can boast such a setting.

We've had a really positive experience with this nursery so far. The environment is always clean, well organised and feels very welcoming for children. There are lots of engaging activities planned throughout the day, which keeps the children stimulated and learning through play.
The staff are friendly and attentive, and it's clear they genuinely care about the children in their care. It gives me peace of mind knowing my daughter is in a safe and nurturing environment where she can explore, learn and have fun. Overall, I'm very happy with the nursery and I have recommend it to other parents.

Our daughter absolutely loves coming to this nursery. The staff are always so friendly, welcoming, and clearly care a lot about the children. It's lovely to see how happy and comfortable she is there each day.
The outdoor space is fantastic and gives the children plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy being outside. It's clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating a fun and safe environment for them.
We're really pleased with the care she receives and would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.
Such a lovely review, the staff will be so pleased to read this. Thank you!
My child started here in December and immediately I felt at home at Acorns (Henbury).

Lots of my friends send their children here too and all have the same experience.

The staff at Acorns is more like a family to me. Each individual person makes a clear effort to connect with the children, each other and you as a parent. I personally enjoyed getting to know them during pick ups and drop offs and I always got a positive, engaged and switched-on attitude from everyone. There can be changes, observations and or questions that as a nervous mum one wants to make and the managers have always been there to discuss and make adjustments happen and or explain the context. My daughter was at Acorns since she was 11 months old until she was 3 years and a couple of months - and if we were not moving countries she would've stayed until preschool. I miss the staff, the smiles, the stories they would tell me of my daughters day and personality. They make Acorns a wonderful place. Special shoutouts to Natalie, Siobhan, Kristy, Mary, Lauren, Violeta, Manhar, Tracy, Ruby, Aneesha, Chloe, Savannah, Charlie, Leanne, the gardeners and the fruit delivery guy!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review, it will mean the world to all the staff.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Acorns Nursery Henbury Hill.
Our son joined in February 2024 and moved to full time in August. From the very beginning, the team were incredibly understanding when we had to delay his official start date due to illness. That compassion and flexibility set the tone for everything that followed.
The staff are kind, supportive, highly skilled, and clearly experts in early years care and development. The activities are thoughtful, engaging, and genuinely lovely. The meals seem wholesome and nutritious.
Most importantly, our son absolutely loves his time there. He is happy, stimulated, and thriving. We never have any worries about the standard of care.
The culture, policies, and facilities are all excellent. The nursery has genuinely exceeded our expectations of what childcare can look like, and we feel very lucky to have them as part of our our support network.
Thank you to the whole team for everything you do!

The staff are friendly, helpful and open. My daughter is always excited to see them when I drop her off. They have a great building with lots of outdoor space and they always make an effort to come up with new and seasonal activities for the children to do. I feel they make a real effort to involve parents with daily updates, regular parent evenings and stay and play sessions.

Our son has been with Acorns Henbury Hill for nearly two years and it's the most wonderful place. The staff are absolutely lovely and our little guy adores them. The site is wonderful, large and airy and there is tons of outdoor space. They are out in the gardens in all weathers and there is so much to do. We used a different nursery for our first child and that was pretty good, but Acorns has been another level. The combination of the staff, environment, site and effort everyone there makes. We couldn't recommend it highly enough.
Very happy with Acorns. Aware of what other nurseries offer and appreciate the variety of experiences available to the children. Great debriefs at the end of each day and feel like the staff really care. Thank you.

Friendly staff who always have a smile on their face. Know all the kiddo's names. Personalised service. Very happy. A wide range of activities is offered to the kiddos. My only wish is that they spent more time outside, hopefully, they will now the weather is getting brighter.

I never worry dropping my child off at Acorns Henbury Hill. He goes in with a smile and comes home with smiles. The staff are approachable and informative and the open door policy is very reassuring as a parent. The facilities are excellent and offer the children a wide range of activities.

My son has been attending the nursery for around two years. I've been super impressed by their warmth, positivity and engagement. I trust my son being there 100% and he enjoys his time there.

My child has been attending Acorns Henbury Hill, Bristol since last January and he absolutely loves it. From the moment we stepped into Acorns Henbury Hill, Bristol we felt that it was the right nursery for us. Our son immediately bonded with his key workers and he absolutely loves the daily routine and activities. Getting the observations throughout the week gives us insight into how he spends his time and all the lovely educational activities he takes part in. The staff and all the management team are really amazing and always so helpful and supportive. Both inside and outside facilities are awesome, the setting is always super clean and the meals provided are very healthy. I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone! It's ten out of ten!

I started working for Acorns in May 2017. I enjoy building and construction with the children, especially enjoy watching the children problem solve when engaging in the activity.
I am currently completing a degree in early years and childhood studies, which I am really enjoying. I have a little girl who used to attend Acorns, she is now in school and in my free time I enjoy spending time with her and travelling.
