My son has been going to Little Acorns Nursery since he turned 8 Months. I couldn’t thank the staff enough for taking good care of him. His development has been outstanding. They do different activities with them every day. The nursery provides a variety of food and caters to all needs
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our team is so passionate about providing exceptional care and education. They work hard to provide a great variety of fun, engaging activities alongside our specially-designed education programmes.
Little Acorns has cared for my niece since she was 9 months old and now she is off to school in September. It will be a bittersweet goodbye to the nursery that has provided such a loving, warm and welcoming environment for my niece to learn. Her confidence has grown and have worked on getting her ready for “big school”. They eat well with a range of foods offered with regular updates on how she has eaten on the app. Observations and reports are of a very high standard and nothing is ever too much for the staff. The staff have become like family and are often a part of our role-play at home. Highly recommend this nursery and I will definitely be bringing my baby here one day.

Our daughter is thriving at Little Acorns Nursery. She is given so much love and care from the staff. She speaks about them at home often! She’s made lots of friends, both staff and children. She’s happy to be dropped off in the mornings. They provide her with a lovely routine, lots of activities and yummy food which supports her development. All the team are always smiling and welcoming. Thank you for all your energy, support and excellent care you give. You all do an amazing job.

They are incredibly passionate about helping children to learn and grow and build warm, supportive relationships. We are so pleased that we have helped your little one to thrive and that they are enjoying their time at nursery.
Little Acorns has a warm, open, friendly environment - the preschool room have faced a lot of changes and still manage to have a smile on their face and keep the children as their main priority! My daughter is now 4 years old and has been here since she was 8 months. She has made unbreakable bonds with so many staff members and children in her class. She has flourished and grown into a bright and independent little girl!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our team is so passionate about providing exceptional childcare and education. They work hard to provide a supportive, nurturing environment where every child can thrive.
My daughter has been attending the nursery since September 2022. Very friendly members of staff who make my daughter feel at home. My daughter always comes home happy. It’s great to have feedback every day during pick-up. One friendly suggestion will be regarding communication from the management which sometimes can be a little slow. Overall, I am very satisfied with the service so far. Thank you.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's so great to hear that your little one is happy here! Our friendly team work hard to provide a supportive, nurturing atmosphere where all children can thrive.
The nursery staff are caring and always keep us informed with a detailed handover. My son enjoys the activities and they are always accommodating for ad hoc days when needed. They are good at taking on feedback and acting upon it too. Keep up the great work!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our friendly team works hard to provide a variety of fun, engaging activities alongside our fantastic education programmes. Effective communication with our families is so important in maintaining a strong partnership between home and nursery.
This is such a lovely nursery. Our daughter has been coming here since she was 15 months old and has spent time in both the baby room and the toddler room. She has flourished since being here and has a lovely relationship with her key worker. She is now nearly 2 and absolutely loves going to nursery. We really can’t fault it. The staff are so friendly and attentive and they make such an effort to get to know the children. We are very happy.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's lovely to hear that your little one is flourishing with us! Our specially designed education programmes aim to nurture, inspire and empower children to develop a variety of skills and positive behaviours.
The preschool seemed chaotic, there was no attention to detail on my son and how he is developing. It felt like a playgroup rather than a nursery based on educational requirements.
Some staff were very nice and can't fault them but do believe there needs to be more training involved.
Happy to discuss if required.

Both my grandchildren attend this nursery and since they have started at around six months old in the baby room they have blossomed their way through until preschool receiving quality care and routines carefully thought through.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated. Your feedback has been passed on to the nursery management team.
My son struggled to settle into nursery at age one but has come leaps and bounds since moving to the eighteen months to three years class. He is happy because the key workers invest time to build rapport and are always communicative upon collection proving insights into the day and discussing any concerns. I believe this class is a little too large and the children would benefit from having a smaller class. The food offerings could be better and more varied/innovative. But these are minor tweaks. Sending my little one to Little Acorns is definitely one of the best things I did. Look forward to him progressing to preschool here.

My baby is 7-months old and I was very nervous about leaving him for the first time. The staff at Little Acorns Nursery are fantastic and have put me at ease with regular updates and tips to help him settle. The resources are fantastic and the garden looks great. I can’t wait to see how they support my son's development over the next few years. I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Our daughter attends Little Acorns Nursery and she absolutely loves it. The staff are all very friendly and they have created really fun and engaging environments for the children to grow and develop. I would recommend it to others.

Since starting, the app updates have become more frequent which my husband and I appreciate, to give us peace of mind. My daughter has made lots of little connections to her peers at nursery and she often doesn’t even want to come home! I would highly recommend Little Acorns Nursery.

The staff are very polite and welcoming. Wouldn’t wish for a nicer place. My granddaughter was well taught ready for her going to school with this being in place her school have commented on how far advanced she is. This could only mean they helped her along the way. My grandson also attends the nursery and is doing very well. Well done to all staff.
Thank you kindly for taking the time to review your nursery; it is very much appreciated. Your feedback will be passed on to the nursery management team.
Overall the nursery is very well run and a great place to send our son. He thoroughly enjoys being at nursery and he has a close bond with all of the staff. There are lots of activities that he does throughout the day to keep the children entertained and preoccupied to which we receive updates about on an app. The only critique I have is that we would like to receive more frequent updates but I understand that this isn’t always practical due to the administration involved.

We've only had great experiences with our nursery. Our daughter loves the creative activities and personalised care. The staff are friendly and enthusiastic, the facilities clean, and the outdoor space is great.

Both of our grandsons went to Little Acorns and they both love it there (the eldest one is now at school). We often collect them and find the staff always very caring and give a full explanation of what they have done during the day as well as what they have eaten. There always seems to be changes in the rooms and new activities to keep the children interested and there always seems to be money being spent as we've seen with improvements to the garden and building extension since our first grandson started going.

My child absolutely loves going to Little Acorns. She has been attending Little Acorns since she was eight and a half months old and now she is two and a half yrs old. All the practitioners are lovely, approachable and really care about the children’s well-being. I get detailed information about what she’s eaten, what she’s been up to that day and they will always notice any new skills she learns and are so praising when she does this, which my daughter thrives from.

We are happy with our choice of nursery.
Our child is thriving and developing many news skills in a nurturing environment.

Very poor nursery. Only still sending my eldest child due to him having all his friends and his attendance at the nursery for the past 2 years. Only sent my son because of his room leader. Once he finishes her class he will be getting removed from the nursery and going elsewhere. Pre-School is supposed to get kids ready for school however, my son has not been taught any phonics or writing, or numbers since joining. He is self-taught at home. Staff are very poor and room leaders are on their phones rather than looking after children. Poor hygiene, kids always coming home with food around the face. Food choice is very poor and does not cater to all religions/beliefs. No nutritious meals are provided. Toys are brought once every year yet charged for toys monthly. Never been on any school trips. Would love to see the balance and profit and loss sheets for this business as it's a business, not a nursery.
Thank you for your feedback, we can reassure you that we are taking your concerns seriously and we have escalated your comments to the relevant nursery management team. If you would like to discuss further, please contact us on 0800 028 4500.
