We couldn't be happier with the nursery. We love the app to keep us updated and see photos of our little boy enjoying himself. All the staff are friendly and professional. We love the fact the nursery are outside whatever the weather and enjoy lots of messy play!

Review from Lezelle H (Mother of Child) published on 22 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son absolutely loves the nursery. The team is brilliant and throughout covid, they have been great. Every day is so exciting with the variety of activities and him getting ready for school in September. The food they do is amazing, forest school is another big plus as my son just loves being outside and especially the hot chocolate in the colder months. They have a very big garden for playtime where they can spend a lot of time outside running themselves ragged playing with their friends. I would definitely recommend the nursery for anyone looking for a great setting for their little ones.

Acorn is an excellent nursery. They cover so many topics and events. Everyone is included. My daughter loves going to 'school' and has learnt a lot whilst attending. Very good set up and communication between practitioners and parents/children is fab!

Overall Experience

My second child is currently at the nursery, he gets so much out of it and is happy. We love how the staff, even those not directly related to our son's care make the effort to get to know him and notice him as an individual. Our son prefers to do his own thing a lot of the time and we have appreciated how the nursery have provided extra encouragement to get him involved in group activities. We are extremely happy at this nursery. Thank you to all the staff at Acorn!

Review from Louise S (Mother of Child) published on 22 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been at the nursery for a year and a half now and he absolutely loves it! His confidence and independence have come along fantastically, and Acorn have been a major part of that. The staff are so amazing with the children and really love and care for them. We have absolute confidence and trust in them. Leaving our son in their care is a really positive experience and we have no concerns at all. I think our son will be sad when he has to start school in September and leave them! Would 100% recommend them to anyone!

Overall Experience
Both of my children have attended Acorns in Burton Latimer and I couldn’t be happier with the care they provide. Everyone that works at the nursery is helpful and supportive and it’s obvious how much they all care about the children which is really reassuring and comforting.

The days always seem filled with fun for the children and I think it’s great they get to spend so much time outside and exploring.

Overall Experience

Acorns have been absolutely amazing especially during this challenging time with covid. I feel my little boy is safe in the environment they set while ensuring he still has lots of fun. The staff always have a welcoming smile on their face and my little one loves going to this nursery. He has been going to Acorns for 2 years and I know he will be really sad when he has to leave to go to school. I would highly recommend Acorns to anyone.

Review from Cristina D (Mother of Child) published on 29 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Acorn in Latimer is a fantastic place for my 2 and a half year old son. Staff are caring and always in a good mood. My son always comes out happy and very chatty about his great experiences during his time there. Communication with staff and management is easy, accessible and productive towards my child's development. I feel Acorn is like a part of our family and, for me, that means very much. I like it because they encourage outdoor play and they do forest school and all playing materials are from natural resources.

Review from Victoria G (Mother of Child) published on 28 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Two of my sons have been to Acorn Day Nursery in Burton Latimer, one of which is still currently there. Both of my boys have had problems with speaking for which they have had grommets fitted. The care and dedication of the staff to help them learn how to talk and preparing them to be ready as much as they can for school is outstanding. The communication through the parent to nursery app is wonderful and amazing to be kept up to date on their progress. My son who is currently at nursery can sometimes get upset going in which isn't nice to leave him however a member of staff always gets in touch either by phone call or a message through the app which is wonderful. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming and truly adore all of the children. Such a fantastic team that provides great experiences for all children.

Review from Sachideo B (Father of Child) published on 28 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff members make this nursery a great place for the development of my boy. The setting is very safe and when you walk in the building you can instantly see all the efforts made to develop the imagination of your kids. My son really enjoys the forest school. This nursery does not only help to develop the education mindset but also developing my son's social skills and educating him about the environment. Learning about the planet, recycling and the damage of plastic. Listening to him give me reassurance about the future. Staff are always happy to give person-centred support to both family and the kids. Staff make extra efforts to understand and celebrate different cultures and festivals. I was really proud when the staff made lamb and decorations for the Diwali festival. As a parent, this Nursery represents everything I would love my son to enjoy. Will surely recommend this nursery to every parent.

Staff are so polite, helpful and friendly. My child loves going to nursery and always comes out happy and messy (a sign she’s had great fun!). She is fed well during the day and she’s never short of activities to do. We love receiving photos of what she’s been doing during the day!

My son is so happy attending Acorn nursery Burton Latimer. He has been there for 3 years and in this time has grown in confidence. They do so many different activities that are fun and educational. The care and provision he receives is excellent and they keep me well informed of his development and any concerns they have. They are very approachable and accommodating and have, where possible allowed me to book additional sessions to fit in with changing times.

Overall Experience

Acorn is a really great environment for my child. We really notice the development in her social skills and confidence every time we pick her up. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, even during these unusual times. We have signed her baby brother up to start in September as well, and would thoroughly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a warm and caring environment for their little one.

I have two children attending the Nursery and both started in September 2020. The nursery is a lovely setting with lots of activities for the kids to get involved with. In two months my kids have grown with the help of the friendly staff. My two are always talking about how nice they all are. The staff do a fantastic job, I highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

My twin girls have been at Acorn for over 3 years, I’ve never had a single complaint. It’s a lovely nursery, the staff are extremely helpful and the girls absolutely love it! My favourite things about Acorn is the girls are able to take part in lots of outdoor play, forest school and have a varied diet plan. Throughout the whole pandemic, the nursery have done everything possible to keep the setting open for key workers, help financially to people that were not key workers and keep as much normality as possible to the children’s day to day lives. I couldn’t thank them enough.
