The nursery is very much at the heart of the community in Whitchurch. The children enjoy lots of visits from local visitors such as fireman, policeman, dentists and visits to the local care home for singing sessions are always eagerly anticipated by the residents.

Overall Experience

Acorns Whitchurch is a fantastically run nursery. They have often gone above and beyond in the care of my child. The communication to parents has been exemplary and all staff from care staff to management are extremely approachable.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Acorns Whitchurch since January 2019 and we can't thank the staff enough. The staff have been kind, caring and thoughtful to us through what has been a difficult transition for us and our daughter. She now adores going to nursery and participates in many activities I wouldn't even consider doing at home! The nursery is very clean and the menu is very appetising. We recommend Acorns Whitchurch to everyone!

Overall Experience

This is such a wonderful nursery and I cannot recommend it enough. The staff are always so helpful and every week my daughter comes home with new paintings, drawings etc. I cannot thank the staff enough for how much they have helped my daughter settle into nursery life and it is wonderful to see my daughter happy and content when I drop her off.

Review from Ketan M (Father of Child) published on 30 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son is about to graduate from Acorns Whitchurch in July, but has had 2 stints at the nursery. He started in the Babies room, before moving to the Toddlers room. We spent some time in a different city and had to take him out of nursery, which was difficult since the nursery set a high bar. We've since returned to Cardiff (Feb 2019) and have him back there until he starts Reception.
As a baby and toddler, I can say without hesitation, that we always felt he was looked after and later entertained. Our son was always happy and engaged with the surroundings and his peers. We have to concede that it was the environment at nursery that taught him to walk and explore, as well as giving him confidence. He made some friends, one of which is still present and they still play together.
The staff have always been warm and welcoming to us during drop off and collection.

We'll be hard pushed to sway away from considering Acorns Whitchurch when we feel the need to enrol our daughter.

Overall Experience

Whitchurch Acorns is a warm, welcoming nursery with lovely caring staff. Both of my children have attended nursery here (my daughter still attends) they started as babies and went right through to graduation. It is lovely to see how much they learn and enjoy nursery is amazing and makes my day at work easier knowing they're having fun. They make friends and have very special bonds with the staff who are always smiling and happy. My son still talks about the girls and they ask about him from time to time as well.

Acorns Whitchurch is fantastic. The staff are friendly and caring and the nursery is extremely well run and organised. My son is very happy there and enjoys going. My other two daughters were also very happy at the nursery and have fond memories of their time there.

Thank you Acorns.

Overall Experience

Both of our children attend Acorns Whitchurch, our son since he was 10 months and daughter since she was 23 months old. The progress we’ve seen is incredible, the nursery has done a lot for their social skills and our daughter has become a lot more confident in her speech. The staff are very friendly and I feel very comfortable knowing my children are in safe hands whilst we’re in work. They carry out a variety of different activities each day and always have paintings/baked goods/artwork to bring home. We would recommend this nursery to anyone.

As a parent of a child with some additional needs, I cannot praise the staff at Acorns Whitchurch enough for their cohesive approach in helping my child to progress. He is very happy there and now runs through the door, excited at the prospect of a day in nursery. Thank you Acorns Whitchurch!

We have been taking our daughter to Acorns for the last six months and have recommended to many of our friends, who now also attend. There is always a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and you can see that the children are at the heart of everything that is done there.

Very professional staff and beautiful homely setting for the nursery.

Our child has settled really well since September and usually has something to bring home - photos/art and craft. Quality of food and variety also seems to be of a very high standard.

Overall Experience

This nursery is amazing, we have used it since our eldest was 8months, she’s now nearly 4. Her 1year old sister now goes there aswell. The staff are all so caring and lovely. The facilities and food is amazing, the girls probably eat better at nursery then at home. The staff have been so supportive with our eldest’s illnesses, which has been really appreciated. Can’t speak highly enough about Acorns Whitchurch. I thank them all for all their hard work

Overall Experience

I highly recommend this nursery, my daughter has been going to the nursery for a little over 1 year now she started at the age of 1 and I feel tremendously comfortable with the care the staff give my daughter, she is always happy going in to nursery with a smile on her face and comes home with an even bigger smile. The staff are amazing at their jobs and give me feedback each day I pick her up. My daughter loves messy play and is very proud when she comes home with artwork. What I love about the nursery is that they set home links every week giving me the chance to bring nursery life at home.

Overall Experience

Both of my children attended this nursery until preschool from babies. I have been extremely happy with the care that they have received. The facilities are excellent and the staff are always friendly and caring towards the children. My children are happy going to nursery and have always been happy and content upon collection. I am sad that they have to leave but glad that they have had the best start to childcare in a group setting. Special thanks to the staff.
