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

Fantastic nursery, setup, day to running and staff are fantastic! My daughter has been there 6 weeks and very much a mummy’s girl so expected her to take a lot longer to settle. She already loves attending Acorns all down to the staff that look after her - really have made the going back to work process for mummy a lot more stress and worry-free knowing she’s settled and happy!

Overall Experience
Acorns, and in particular Acorns Whitchurch, was recommended to me when I had my first child in 2014. Everybody I spoke to seemed to recommend this nursery. I visited and didn’t even go to see anywhere else. It was exactly what I was after with the bonus of such strong recommendation.
One of the difficulties I came up against recently is the need to have an odd extra day. I appreciate this is something a business cannot always guarantee, especially as the nursery runs at capacity. However, being as Acorns has multiple institutions they were able to arrange a place elsewhere. The staff were complete professionals and very welcoming to my child.

The investment in their staff is also very apparent.

Overall Experience

My little girl has been going to Acorns for 9 months now and I have been thrilled with her care. The staff are wonderful and she is thriving there. She has some intermittent health needs and the staff are confident and competent dealing with these so I can happily leave her without worrying while I am at work.

The team have been great with settling in and supporting our daughter as she started nursery when I returned to work. The team are very supportive of her individual needs and carefully hand over at the end of each day. They were also very supportive when I found it hard to leave my daughter for the first time.

My little one has recently started nursery and I have seen such a difference in a few short weeks. Staff are so great with him and the other babies and always have time to discuss his care. The nursery is always clean and tidy and I feel confident leaving him there for the day.

Review from Tim S (Father of Child) published on 13 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Acorns Whitchurch is a fantastic nursery. Our daughter was looked after by many wonderful caring and friendly staff. She thrived and we felt she was in safe hands from a young age which was very reassuring. At the first session when she was seven months old, we felt the staff really listened to and understood our daughters individual needs and allayed any concerns we might have about her sleeping, feeding and general happiness. Staff are amazing during inevitable periods of attachment issues but the team are flexible and helpful and do extra things to help with tricky morning drop-offs. At pick up we were always greeted by a happy busy little girl. The range of activities are excellent with a real focus on building early skills and experiences. We loved parent's evenings seeing pictures of what she had been doing and read the one to one observations the staff had made every day. Excellent value for money, with food and nappies included. We will definitely use Acorns again.

Overall Experience

Acorns Whitchurch is excellent. My daughter started at 9 months and the settling in process was brilliant. The staff are attentive and caring, the environment safe and stimulating and I am always impressed by the wide range of activities they offer. The menu is varied and nutritious and I particularly like how the food is always cooked from scratch on site. My daughter has attended for 2 years now and has a lovely relationship with the staff. I always feel well-informed and reassured she’s happy. I thoroughly recommend Acorns Whitchurch.

Review from Kate M (Grandmother of Child) published on 1 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My granddaughter started at Acorns, Whitchurch, as a baby and is now 3 years old. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff who have been incredibly supportive towards my granddaughter and indeed us as a family. They have been so accommodating, friendly and caring towards us all as a family and we will have very fond memories when my granddaughter finally moves on to primary school. I should like to take this opportunity to thank the managers over the past 3 years and all the staff who care for the children.

I’ve been really impressed with the team at Acorns, they worked so hard to settle my daughter in nursery when she first started and have been amazing ever since. I wouldn’t want to entrust her care to anyone else. They keep my daughter engaged throughout the day with a wide range of activities and I know she has always been well fed. Thanks for all your hard work and loving care Acorns!
