My son currently attends this nursery and I couldn't be happier. The staff are so attentive and caring. They have a Key Person and Buddy system, which means there are 2 Key People who know him and his routine/needs well and we always have a point of contact should we have any questions.
The rest of the room staff are also great with him and everyone in the building says hello or good-bye to all the children which is lovely to see.
My son absolutely loves going, he always has a big smile when he realises where we are and goes straight to staff with arms open which makes leaving him so much easier for me.
The food is great and cooked fresh, and is varied so my son gets to try different foods to home with lots of fruit and veg.
The outdoor space is amazing and they do lots of little trips around the local area such as to the library or shops! I can't wait for him to reach the big room so he can try Forest School too.
I couldn't have picked a better nursery, I highly recommend.
So far as my daughter coming home, and talking for hours about how much fun she had with the other children and the wonderful teachers in her class room. Her speech has rapidly improved, she feels confident and every change is handled so delicately for her.
As she is moving up to the next class, and my littlest joins her new class, they've honestly made it so much easier for them and for me. With great feedback, focus on their likes and dislikes and they feel like an extension of the family at this point.
Highly satisfied with Acorn Day Nursery. Our child is consistently developing & learning well within the setting. The staff are incredibly helpful with any queries we may have & provide excellent personalised care for our child based on individual needs. Plenty of outdoor play in a large garden & little day trips out for the children including Forest school. Our child is always happy after a day at nursery & our second child is joining Acorn this year too & we couldn't be more pleased.
We honestly couldn't be happier with this nursery. From the very first day, the staff have been so welcoming, caring, and friendly. making both my child and me feel completely at ease. They treat every child as an individual, and it really shows in how happy and confident my little one has become since starting here.
The activities are always fun, creative, and my child comes home excited to tell me what they've been doing and is learning so much without even realising it. The nursery has a lovely atmosphere and the best garden for the children with so much to do! My child loves going to forest school & on trips to the garden centre on the bus, litter picking around the area & the farm!
I feel so lucky to have found the nursery. I would highly recommend it to any parent.
What a great nursery! Our child has had the best experience here. The staff are amazing - caring, supportive, and always adapting to each child's needs. There's plenty of playtime, garden fun, and lovely trips, including regular visits to the park. It's such a warm and nurturing environment, and we couldn't be happier!
He has learnt so much by being there.
They have really helped him with his speech as we have now learned that he is autistic and learns in a different way. They have helped with a speech and language therapist in nursery and also helped with getting his EHCP sorted in time for school.
They have been so good at looking after him and helping him learn new skills.
The outings they had were great such as the park, forest school, walks, going to the fire station and also having a fire engine and police cars to the nursery.
So many different things they get to experience here.
They have been amazing for my child, helping when we are going through a difficult time and a SEN diagnose. They have just been amazing and my child is super happy being there! They started at the start of the academic year and they are doing extremely well!
We can't wait to continue to watch him grow.
I have had 2 sons go through the rooms at the nursery and have always been blown away by the care and consideration of every member of staff within every room.
My youngest son has special needs, he is unable to walk or talk, and the nursery goes above and beyond. Implementing things that help him, seeing his external professionals within the setting, helping with his EHCP and recruiting a 1:1 carer for him. They also have a fantastic sensory room for children to have calm and quiet when they need it.
The nursery has a forest school setting, goes out in the community, has a fantastic outdoor area for play and has a lot of wooden Montessori play within the nursery setting. They also have great options for food.
I cannot rate this nursery highly enough. 5 stars is not enough.
I was really nervous about sending my little boy to Nursery when I returned to work after maternity leave. He was a late developer in terms of his physical development so I knew it would be a battle and take someone special to be able to cater for his needs. Every member of staff has been great at supporting us and my little one but in particular, is a key person in the Acorn Room and has gone above and beyond. We get regular observations and updates and nothing is too much to ask. With the help of his key person and the physiotherapist, my little one is now meeting all milestones and has developed a strong attachment to his favourite key person. I honestly don't know what we would have done without Acorn Nursery and would recommend it to everyone with little ones.
Since my little girl started nursery we have found all of the staff so friendly and supportive. We get regular updates throughout the day via the app and also an in-depth handover of the collection. We are so glad we moved nurseries.
Acorn Day Nursery has been amazing at helping our little girl settle into her two days at nursery. Even when she is sad on drop off they cheer her up and get her smiling. The staff have been brilliant from the start. The app is super useful at keeping us updated on her day, including her food, nappies and sleep as well as observations of her activities.
Grandchild is happy to go there and appears happy. Lots of activities.
A variety of food is given for meals and snacks.
Communication via the app is excellent and easy to use.
Fantastic nursery! Never had any concerns leaving my daughter in their care! She is always happy to go and always learning something new! All staff and facilities are brilliant! Not a single fault with anything!
The outdoor area is amazing! Would recommend the nursery 100%.
As I am unfortunate to live some distance from my Granddaughter, I am absolutely delighted to be able to be part of the updates from the family group that the nursery uploads on a regular basis, along with the pictures which make it extra special. This allows me to see what she is up to on a daily basis and see how much fun she is having. The activities vary so much, both indoor and outdoor, allowing the children to develop all of their skills. She cannot wait to get to nursery in the morning and is never ready to come home, it is lovely to see her interacting with all her peers and also enjoying her one-to-one time. She has developed so much during her time at Acorn. The dedication of all the staff is second to none. Well done everyone and thank you for being part of her early years.
I have always been impressed with the outstanding care that Acorn provides. All three of my children are currently attending or have attended Acorn from the age of one and they have thrived in this nurturing environment. The dedicated staff are not just caregivers but are genuinely passionate about early childhood development. They create a warm, supportive atmosphere where my kids feel safe and valued. The activities are well thought out and stimulating, ensuring that every child is engaged and excited about learning. I highly recommend Acorn Nursery to any parent looking for a top-notch early education experience.
The love, attention and care they show to the children is fantastic. My little one started at 10 months, now coming up to 16 months and he always comes out very happy.
Acorn Day Nursery has supported my daughter since she was 8 months (she is now 3 years and a half and about to go to school). My daughter has had a number of intolerances starting from when she was born and they have supported her with every single one. Adding to this, they've been extremely supportive in my daughter's most recent medical investigation, providing great SEND support and informal conversations about where to go next and what to do. They create a bespoke learning environment for the children, adapting and creating activities for children's individual interests. They have a forest school that they are able to go to and the children are outside in all weather. The resources they have enable all children to do this. The staff are friendly, polite and my daughter loves every single one. I'm super nervous about her next steps at primary school as they are going to have big boots to fill!
A very good nursery, lots of outdoor time, huge range of activities. Admin staff are particularly helpful, responsive and efficient. Low staff turnover. Varied menu, staff friendly and know children well.
