I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The staff are amazing with my daughter and very welcoming. My daughter is always happy coming to nursery and loves bringing home her artwork each day to show us all. I am so happy that I chose this nursery.

Review from Jodie B (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little one has just started here (three weeks in now).
I’ve been so impressed with everyone. Even the people working there who don’t look after him seem to know his name! There’s a really friendly feel there.
I viewed another couple of nurseries and neither were anything like this one.
My LO’s key workers are amazing. He seems to have warmed to them very quickly which I love. I don’t feel worried at all leaving him.
I love all the things he makes each day he’s there. And the feedback sheets! Great idea.

Thank you so much everyone there. Also to the manager and the management team as they’ve all been so helpful and inviting.

Our second son has started at Acorns in January and yet again we have had an outstanding experience. The staff care for our sons as if they were their own and we can not fault the care and experiences our boys have.

The staff are consistently friendly. When we moved nurseries six months ago the staff made the transition as painless as possible. My daughter loves going there and has enjoyed the trips as well as the learning.

Overall Experience

Acorns Whitchurch is such a lovely nursery. The staff are all so warm and kind. They have become an integral part of our lives and I trust them implicitly in the care of my child. They recognise personalities and encourage individuality whilst miraculously maintaining structure to the day and teaching the children about themselves in the world. Couldn't recommend more!

Overall Experience

I could not be happier with this nursery. My son is so happy here. The facilities are wonderful, clean and fun for the kids. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the place is run well. Every time I pick up my son from nursery he greets me with a huge smile and I just know he has had a happy day. Thank you to all the staff at the nursery.

Overall Experience

What a better recommendation when our daughter said her little brother has to attend this nursery as well, as they are the best. She attended Acorns for 3 years and our son has been going to Whitchurch since September and he loves it. He is having so much fun while learning so many things. The staff is all amazing! Can't thank you enough Acorns Whitchurch!

Overall Experience

Excellent nursery. Caring and compassionate staff that do over and above for every child. As a parent, the staff have made the experience of leaving my child to go to work a very reassuring and easier experience. My two children have both adored the staff caring for them and their nursery experience.

Review from Sian I (Mother of Child) published on 4 December 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter joined Acorns in June this year and struggled to adapt at first. However, as a result of excellent facilities, management and more importantly kind and enthusiastic staff (especially those who are in the caterpillar group), she has flourished. She is now happy coming to nursery but has also much more enthusiasm at home, due to the new skills she has gained and the new experiences she has encountered.

Review from Elizabeth H (Mother of Child) published on 4 December 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has attended Acorns since April 2019 and we as a family, could not be happier with our choice. The nursery was recommended to us by a number of work colleagues who have used the nursery over the years. As first-time parents we were nervous about the approach to starting nursery and settling in, Acorns staff did all they could to support and settle our son.
The care provided to the children and array of activities is all you could hope for from someone else caring for your child. The staff really are a fantastic asset to the nursery. There have been occasions we have collected our son outside of ‘normal’ collection times when parents are not necessarily expected. We have seen at these times the same care and gentle dispositions as when parents are expected.

We would not hesitate in recommending this nursery.

Overall Experience

We have used Acorns for seven months now and couldn't be happier with the care of our son. The environment is always clean and the staff are friendly and caring. They offer a range of activities and a variety of opportunities for learning. They offer a healthy varied menu and a safe environment. We are so pleased we chose this nursery and are delighted with how well our son has settled in. Very happy!

Review from Naomi T (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All staff have been very welcoming when my 2-year-old daughter had to move nursery due to the closure of her previous one. Despite only attending the nursery one day a week, everyone knows who she is and they are quickly getting to know her. The facilities are fantastic and she always comes home telling stories about her day (even if she does cry every morning).

Review from Nikki M (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am impressed with the day to day running of Acorns Whitchurch. I have recommended the nursery to other parents in the area. All the staff are professional and the nursery is clean. My child is always very happy to attend and has forged excellent relationships with their peers and with the staff who care for them. As a family, we enjoy the parent/nursery link that is provided, so we have an insight into our child's day and their social and educational development.
Our child has been at Acorns Whitchurch for over 12-months, I have been satisfied with the new management and feel that, if I ever wish to speak to a member of staff or a senior manager they are all very approachable and that any concerns are dealt with efficiently.

The warmth and empathy from your experienced nursery nurses is something that makes this nursery so special. I enjoy chatting with key workers upon collecting my child and it is evident that they genuinely care for my child. Which is so reassuring as a parent.
