They work hard to get to know each individual child and to provide a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment where they feel happy and settled.

As a new mum whos first toddler has started nursery- i have had the best team and support adapting to my childs needs and days as they accepted his half days which doesnt align with other childrens timings but have supported me so it does and what would work best for my family. I would reccomend Little Acorn to everyone. The have a diverse staff and children which makes it great for kids to get used to and understand others. I would say they dont go out much but could be due to weather and not enough pictures throughout the day to show activities done.

Our little girl has learnt so much since starting at Little Acorns. She has specific dietary needs which the nursery have accommodated without question.

My baby girl has been with Little Acorns since last September and has absolutely loved it! Seeing her smile every day, I can tell she has developed so well and built great relationships with the staff and other children in the nursery.
Thank you for your review of Little Acorns Nursery. We're so pleased that she is excited to attend every day and is doing so well holistically in our care. We truly do care about each child and do all we can to provide exceptional childcare and education.
The nursery manager is very lovely and helpful, any queries, she has always answered and is very down to earth. If at any point in the manager's absence I have had any queries/or just wanted a general chat, another specific staff member has always been there to help. The staff are lovely. Couldn't think of a better nursery for my nephew to attend!

The nursery has always been so helpful with settling my child into a nursery environment, always available to answer any queries I have, and my child has come on so well since joining Little Acorns. I feel she really enjoys spending time there, and the staff really care about how she's doing and the progress she's making. It's given her the chance to make friends and learn new things and prepare her for school life. Very thankful for all the help and guidance through nursery life.

Little Acorns and all the staff are absolutely amazing - they are so kind and caring and it has a really family feel to the environment. Both of my boys love going to nursery and my eldest's confidence has grown so much since making the decision to move them here. We get constant updates on the app with photos which is always really nice to see. Both my children always come home so happy and speak so highly of all the staff, I have no worries about the boys whilst they are at nursery and would recommend to anyone.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our dedicated team ensure that children enjoy a great variety of stimulating activities throughout the nursery day along with plenty of time out in the fresh air which is fantastic for their well-being.
They have an app where you can clearly and easily see their activities during that day (food, sleep, etc).
My child does not like to eat her food at home, but she eats everything at the nursery. I have videos from the nursery confirming this, and I'm amazed and also I know that they have everything under control. I can work without any worries because of them. My child feels loved and happy there and wouldn't change it for anything. Dreading when she has to go to school. They are also preparing her for school, writing through play, recognising her name, etc.
Amazing and welcoming staff. Nothing is too much for them, they're always keen and happy to help.

Our kind, caring team is so passionate about helping children to learn and grow, and providing a warm, welcoming and nurturing nursery environment is an incredibly important part of that.

My son has been attending the nursery since around 7/8 months, he enjoys it there and comes home happy. There are lots of fun activities to do and I get the updates on these on the new app they have which updates me on how he has eaten, slept, what he’s done basically everything. I know he’s in good hands, as I drop him off he’s comfortable going to his carers in his room. Makes me happy that drop-offs are so easy. I’m happy with this nursery and this is my second son attending here. Highly recommend!

We have been with the nursery for a few years now, with 2 children in at the same time. This nursery has a real family feel to it, and the staff go the extra mile to make you as parents and the children feel part of the family. As parents, we always have specific needs and desires for our children, and the nursery staff are always happy to accommodate where possible. I'm glad I picked this nursery for my children.
