I'm really impressed with how my daughter has come along since attending the nursery. She is a lot more confident with other children than she was a year ago. She loves all of the staff and the other children and tells us about everyone and her day when she gets home.

My partner and I are very happy with the level of care that is provided at Acorns Day Nursery for our son. All of the staff are welcoming and the children are greeted with lots of smiles. The nursery is bright and inviting with all of the children's artwork and creations displayed throughout, the garden
is a lovely big size with lots of space for children to run around and explore. Since attending the nursery our son is very happy and sociable with other children. He also loves coming to the nursery to see his new friends.

Lovely family atmosphere where everyone knows all the children and everyone is well cared for. I've been very happy with it . There is a lovely outdoor space which is absolutely fantastic in the summer and lots of activities for when the weather is less good.

What can I say, this nursery is absolutely amazing. Both my children attended this nursery before moving onto school. The staff are wonderful and my boys loved them all, both my children developed skills I believe are down to the high standard of skills the staff at Acorns have. If you are stuck in
finding a nursery for your child/children, Acorn's girls are just fantastic.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
On this day a parent came in for a tour of the nursery but she had her dates mixed up. The manager came to the door and pointed out that it was on the next day that she had her appointment and apologised and told her she won't be able to give her a tour on this day as everyone was on their duties caring
for the kids, and if she had to take someone out at such short notice it would be against their rules, which I thought was a great feeling knowing that the safeguarding of the kids was the staffs main priority.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.940)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.940) out of 10 for Acorns Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.940 for Acorns Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.94
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acorns Day Nursery is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
