It’s definitely worth having a look around.
I was really concerned as I knew I had to go back to work but wanted my daughter to be happy.
Acorn did a home visit which not a lot of nurseries offer, which was great. They met my daughter in her own environment and gave her a hand made booklet with pictures of the staff and the nursery before going there. I spent time with her there and she now attends 4 days a week and has settled and is really enjoying herself. Best decision I made in choosing Acorn as I can concentrate on going back to work knowing she is happy.
My daughter loves going to the Acorn Day nursery. She enjoys forest schools. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The feedback from my daughter's very likely. The family app they use is clear and informed.
Take great care of the children during the summer holidays and found new and exciting ways to keep them entertained.
The nursery and its staff are fantastic. The activities and support on offer mean my daughter really enjoys her time there. Fantastic!
My daughter is very happy here, there are lots for her to enjoy, she thoroughly enjoys forest schools. The staff are welcoming and friendly, the feedback from my daughter's day is excellent, the family app they use is clear and informed I am able to view all observations of my daughter and how these link to the early years foundation stage.
Acorn Nursery is amazing. My son and I have been so well cared for and supported since day one. Every need has been met with genuine love, care and professionalism. I can't fault the service or management and only have praise for their conduct. The facilities on offer are wonderful, especially the outdoor space. The Forest School sessions are brilliant and staff are incredibly enthusiastic and goodnatured. We have been blessed with the perfect pairing of key workers who are nurturing, gentle and accommodating. The meals are freshly made, varied and healthy and his mealtimes are social and organised. My child has been able to develop and learn at his own pace throughout our time here and has grown in confidence immensely. I feel secure in his learning progress and that he is now 100% ready for school. I would like to thank all the staff that have been a part of our journey and wish them continued excellence.
The app is a lovely touch and reassuring when away from her and worrying if she’s eaten enough or she’s had a nap. The app makes being away from her easier.
Fantastic team at Acorn! Our boys have settled so quickly and are always happy to go! We can't thank them enough for making the transition to nursery so straight forward for us all!
My daughter has been coming to this nursery since she turned 1 (she is now 4), and she loves coming here. The staff are all welcoming, caring and loving and she has built fantastic relationships with all her key persons throughout the years. The nursery itself is lovely and has a wonderful outside area. She enjoys the extra activities the nursery put on for the children (e.g. Forest School) and I thank all the staff for playing their part in nurturing and developing her as a person. 10/10 A+
My daughter has been attending the setting for nearly two years now. My daughter has attended a couple of nurseries now but I’ve found Acorn Day Nursery suited her so well and she loves going! She has thrived into such an independent, happy, loving child with the support of the setting. Her development is encouraged through well-planned activities and supported by the care and attention the team gives her. The environment is very spacious with lots of resources. The children have access to a large garden all year round and in the pre-school room, they go on regular forest school trips. The nursery often holds events, inviting parents and families to participate and encourage lots of parental involvement. Such as a fantastic Mother’s Day tea which was held recently. The staff accommodate my situation so well which meant I was able to attend with my daughter! They went above and beyond so I could enjoy a precious moment with my daughter for which I can’t thank them enough!
At first, she used to cry when I left but now she settles so well.
Workers are amazing, great value for money as everything is included in the price.
The staff there are just so friendly, lovely and completely on your side! They are so accommodating and genuinely care about each and every child they have in their care - you can see this instantly the minute you step into the building!
It really does feel as though the girls that work there do not see it as a ‘job!’ They actually love what they do!
They’ve just put on the most amazing Mother’s Day breakfast and afternoon tea! Not only on one day but two! It was so lovely and they couldn’t do enough for us mums/grandparents!
Thank you!
You all rock!
A very happy parent of two very happy children having had an awesome start to their lives with the support of this truly fantastic nursery! Don’t ever change team Burton Latimer!
Special thanks particularly to certain senior practitioners, EYP's and administration staff.
My son settled in so well when he started the nursery at 8 months old. He is always so happy going there as everyone is so friendly. All the staff in his room know him very well, are caring and make him feel special. The nursery is well resourced and regularly has special events to include the family. It has a great outdoor space, has chickens and forest school sessions for older children. Communication is fantastic with the family app and at handovers.
This is a fab nursery. Both my twins have been at Acorn for over a year and both love it. My little boy has special needs and they have been amazing with him. Me and my husband can not thank Acorn and the staff enough they really have made a difference with our twins as my daughter has made so many friends and gets so excited to go to nursery.
Very friendly staff. Safe control at front desk too. Better than our previous one on security. Great food menus for the children. Our son always comes home with a smile and lots to tell us about his day too.
Very rarely do I see my children as happy as I do at nursery. The nursery feels like a big family where children are happy to communicate with all staff and their views are considered. Arrived to find my children had experienced a wonderful day, making gifts and decorations for my wedding. The day our children leave will be a very sad one for the entire family. Thank you for taking the children's whole well-being so seriously and helping them grow into lovely little people.
We are so happy that our daughters started at Acorn Nursery in 2014, a really good decision.
When we pick them up, they are very happy and excited telling us about all the activities they have done.
They have grown in confidence massively and built great friendships.
The activities they do are innovative and create a fun way to learn and develop. They get lots of outdoor play and activities outside nursery like Forrest school, walks to the supermarket, post office and park.
The staff are so welcoming every day, very friendly and professional. My daughters will miss them.
They leave to go to school in September and I want to say big thanks to everyone at the nursery.
Our daughter has thrived since starting at Acorn nursery a year ago. She has integrated well into the different rooms as she has moved up, all with great support from all members of the nursery team. All the staff are so friendly and happy to help where possible. They have been a great support to us, and it shows they genuinely care about all the children and their individual needs. My daughter is so happy to go to nursery, and when she talks about nursery at home with such happiness it makes us happy to know she is safe, having fun, learning, and becoming more of the little character she is already!
The food is all freshly made and there is a variety of different meals that I can see on the menus. The staff always let me know what she has been doing in nursery and how she has been.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to friends and family.

Deputy Manager and Forest School Leader. Lucy joined Acorn in March 2022 as the Out of School Manager at Barton Seagrave. Lucy still oversees the out of school club as well as her role at Burton Latimer.
Every day at nursery is very varied and different. One of the key points Jo likes about her job is seeing the children progress through the nursery, growing into unique and confident little humans. She also covers the kitchen and the rooms when required, adding variety to her role
