Review from Jo G (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has attended Acorns Whitchurch for nearly four years and I have been incredibly happy with the care he has received there.
He has always had attentive care workers who know him well and I have always felt confident in the ability of all staff members.
The curriculum has always been clearly outlined and links to home are encouraged but never forced. He has been given countless opportunities to participate in a vast array of activities to educate and stimulate him in a fun way.

The menu is varied and encourages the children to try new food. And the cakes are amazing!

Overall Experience

My daughter has just moved groups and the staff have really put her at ease and looked after her, as they always do. It is a lovely nursery with great outdoor space and the children do so many varied activities. It’s really welcoming, especially with the open door policy. The staff are very caring and really invest in the children.

I have two children in Acorns Nursery in Whitchurch. I am very happy with the nursery in all aspects. The staff are fantastic and I have no issues. If I ever need to ask for anything it is no problem and my children are happy there.
They complete lovely activities, I particularly like the new way to connect with the nursery through Capture and love receiving updates.

Thank you.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Acorns for over two years and I cannot rate the nursery highly enough. All of the staff are incredibly kind helpful and supportive. The activities that they do look like great fun and we get regular pictures and updates sent through. The garden is brilliant and the children love being out there. I think the best praise I can give is that my daughter is always excited to go in the morning.

Overall Experience

My daughter joined Acorns Whitchurch when she turned one and she instantly loved it there. She has been attending the nursery for almost a year now and looks forward to it every week. She has developed so much during that time, thanks to the variety of activities the nursery provides. Everyone always comments on how good her speech is and I know a lot of that is down to Acorns. She has developed such strong bonds with many of the staff at Acorns, all of whom are wonderful. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough!

Overall Experience

Acorns Whitchurch has made sending my daughter to nursery such a smoother transition than I anticipated. The staff made both my daughter and myself so welcome during the settling in sessions and I have continued to feel so at ease knowing I am sending her to a kind, caring and highly professional nursery. The daily feedback forms are really helpful and informative to give parents a good understanding of what your child has been doing that day. The staff take the time to talk it through with you and are always so friendly when dropping off and collecting your child. My daughter has settled in really well to Acorns Whitchurch and we have been so pleased with all the learning opportunities and experiences she has been given since going there. My daughter's key workers, in particular, have been fantastic and have made us as parents feel so happy knowing that she is being well looked after and cared for.

Overall Experience

Both of my children have attended Acorns Whitchurch over the last few years and I can honestly say I could not have chosen a better nursery to trust with taking care of them. It can be really difficult to find somewhere you're comfortable leaving your children, but Acorns Whitchurch has helped make it a much easier experience and an extremely fulfilling and enjoyable one for the children. I'm grateful to everyone who has helped take care of them and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Acorns to any parent or carer. The facilities and the care they provide is second to none.

Review from Lyndsey B (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been at the nursery for almost 2 years and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I have really seen my son develop and I’m really impressed by the range of activities the children get involved in. My son's key workers are really friendly and genuinely seem interested in his development.

It is more expensive than other nurseries, however, the combination of staff, facilities and range of meals and activities makes it worth every penny!

Overall Experience

All staff are approachable and happy to help. We are always made to feel welcome when dropping off and picking up, and it's never an issue if I want to give a phone call during the day to check how my son is getting on. There is always a range of activities available through the day, and I've enjoyed attending parents evening and events at Christmas, Mothers day etc which give a great opportunity to spend time at the nursery seeing what the children get up to. Very clean and well maintained.

Review from Elen J (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our little boy has been going to Acorns Whitchurch for around 3 years. He has had the best care from the first day he started, he is so happy at nursery and the staff show him so much encouragement and really have taken the time to get to know his personality and make sure that every day is fun as well as having opportunities to learn and grow. I would highly recommend to any parent. When I drop my son off at nursery I always know that he is being cared for and loved just like when he’s at home. We now have another little boy and I know when the time comes to go back to work, the team at Acorns Whitchurch will make the transition easy for him and me!

Overall Experience
Both my children have loved nursery and are always happy going and unhappy to leave. I don't have to worry about my children at all as I know they are in excellent hands and communication is awesome. I have been extremely grateful for all the work they do developing their skills. Boris is such a hit that they are trying to convince me to get a tortoise.

Thank you.

Amazing nursery, where the staff are caring, friendly and full of fun.

The children have a ball!

My little boy has been there since 6 months old and it is like a family. He has such a wonderful time and as parents we are so happy we managed to get him into somewhere where he is so happy.

Review from Catherine M (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff working at Acorns Whitchurch are fantastic. They are always happy and exude a positive attitude. The care which my child has received has been fantastic. Having a milk allergy, I was concerned that my child might encounter some issues with food along the way but the nursery has gone out of its way to ensure that she is catered for and included in all events where food is concerned.

The outdoor space is lovely and I am glad that it is utilised frequently. I would highly recommend Acorns Whitchurch to others. Keep up the good work.

Review from Annalise D T (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since starting the nursery last year, my son has massively benefited even though he's only in for 1 day a week. The staff are really lovely, easy to talk to and very good at keeping me updated on my child's progress. He's a lot more outgoing since starting nursery and I know he's well looked after because he always gets excited to go back every week. I am sent regular updates of what is going on regarding my child's time in the nursery and the staff are very good at answering any questions I have. The building itself is spacious and is equipped with good quality resources to enhance my child's learning and imagination. I can't recommend it enough.
