Review from Zara E (Mother of Child) published on 4 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm really happy with this nursery, I always find the staff so positive, helpful, easy to approach and to talk to. They're always so enthusiastic and these are things that are very important to me. I know my son loves coming here and he's made such lovely friendships not only with the children but also
with the staff. The facilities always look great, the food that I see from the menus sound brilliant and healthy. I love the app that we have that they use to upload photos and their learning progress. It's great to be kept in the loop and have updates that we can see and be involved with. And I find this has improved since last year when I found there weren't many updates being provided and I really missed being able to see what they get up to whilst they are there. But I've found over the last 6 months this has got better so I hope that continues as I love to see it. Keep up the great work everyone, you are doing fantastic.

Review from Frederick H (Father of Child) published on 4 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter benefits massively from the support she gets at nursery. The team treat her as an individual and it’s clear that they really care about her well-being. From this support, she is able to comfortably operate within a group environment as well as taking time to explore things by herself. During
our regular feedback sessions, we identified her speech as an area of concern and one of the members of staff took it upon herself to provide us with additional reading support and actions we could follow to help improve this. It was incredibly helpful and could see instant improvements. During a global pandemic, the team at Acorns must give themselves credit for the way they have operated and continued to develop our little humans.

We have been delighted by the care provided by Acorns nursery Aviva. Our daughter loves attending. They make so much effort to with activities, observing all major cultural events. Nursery is clearly a fun and stimulating environment. I love the fact it is a home-from-home environment and the care
provided for each child feels very individual. The building is very clean and they always have beautiful displays in the entrance according to the season. The food choices are excellent and the staff are lovely - they have such enthusiasm and are very approachable. We are extremely happy with the nursery and would highly recommend it.

This is one of the best nurseries in the locality. All staff are so friendly and they take personal care of each child. My daughter enjoyed nursery so much and always want to be there even on weekends. The food is good and a very clean nursery. They do so many activities to nurture the overall development
of kids. I am really happy and satisfied with the nursery and looking forward to having a similar experience with my son too.

Acorns Aviva is a great nursery. I know my son is in safe hands and he loves going. Nothing seems too much trouble and all the staff are welcoming and friendly. My son has a food allergy and the chef and the team go above and beyond to make sure he doesn't have anything he shouldn't.

This is such a lovely nursery that offers an excellent standard of care. Both of my children love coming here. There are lots of interesting activities for them that are fun and educational. Delicious and nutritious meals. And the staff really care about the children and help guide them through key
milestones. Couldn’t be more pleased with this excellent nursery and I would definitely recommend them.

Such a lovely little nursery, with kind and caring staff who have been amazing during the Covid-19 pandemic. The care is second to none. The activities they provide I can’t rate highly enough. My niece loves coming to nursery and its lovely to see how much she enjoys it when I pick her up.

My child has the best experience in the nursery. He absolutely loves it here. The activities are stimulating and fun, the outdoor space is fantastic. He eats better here than what he does at home, which is reassuring as he’s a fussy eater. The management team are fantastic and solve any problems. I
can’t recommend this nursery enough.

It's always nerve racking leaving your child at nursery when they start for the first time. It was made more difficult with the pandemic but everyone at Acorns Aviva are so lovely. They made us and my son feel really welcoming. I really like that the nursery provide healthy meals for the children. They
are always very welcoming when seeing them at the beginning and end of the day and always greet you with a smile.

Couldn’t ask for a better nursery, the staff are fantastic and my little girl loves spending her days there. The staff are so kind and always there to offer reassurance and advice. My little girl has come on so much since attending nursery and her little character is shining through. This is all down
to the manager and her team.

I cannot rate Aviva Acorns highly enough. My daughter is so happy there and I am 100% confident that they are caring for her as well as I could hope for. The staff are fantastic and are always available to talk to if I need to check on her. She is thriving in their care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Extremely convenient to use due to it being at work and very reasonably priced, however that is secondary to the excellent care our child (and elder child now in school) receives. My son always comes out happy and having a good day and makes some really good bonds with the staff, especially his key
worker. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

The staff at Aviva Acorns are all excellent. They take such great care of the children and put so much effort in and it is never too much trouble to serve breakfast for latecomers or to coax on new shoes. The activities are very enriching and creative, watching eggs hatch and caring for chicks, building
'hot air balloons' for a fiesta in Bristol and the art the children make is very imaginative. The food menu looks fantastic and smells lovely in the mornings. It is well balanced and staff make the effort to give lots of encouragement to help them try new things. The kids are really well behaved and staff seem to keep very good discipline.

Our second child attends Acorns nursery within the Aviva centre and we are as happy with it as the first time. We cannot fault any aspect of the nursery. All of the staff are just wonderful and our children are and have been, very pleased to attend the setting, which is all we can ask for.
The quality
of care is outstanding and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone that is able to get their child in there. Well done ladies.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.962) out of 10 for Acorns Aviva is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.962 for Acorns Aviva is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.962
  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 Aviva is based on 13 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 33 number of registered child places is 6.6, which has been reached with 13 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.
