Overall Experience

We have been absolutely delighted with Acorns House since day 1. The staff have been so supportive and kind towards my son. He struggled with separation anxiety initially and the staff went above and beyond to get him settled and happy. He how love nursey and the variety of food and activities on offer is fantastic. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Acorns House to anyone looking for a nursery.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending Park Grove Acorns since she was just 7 months old, and I truly can't recommend it enough.

The staff are incredibly helpful, caring, and attentive, which has given me great peace of mind from the very beginning.

Communication between the staff and myself has been excellent-they always keep me informed and are happy to discuss anything when needed.

Overall, a fantastic nursery that I highly recommend.

Overall Experience

Great staff - everyone (regardless if they look after him) knows my son by name and show genuine interest in him. Good range of activities, nice outdoor space. Lovely menu. A good amount of info given about my son's day (food, activities). He is understood as an individual and celebrated.

Review from H M (Father of Child) published on 4 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with Acorns house. At just eleven months old, our baby is always happy to go into nursery and he has really bonded with the staff, who know him so well already. It's clear how much care and attention he receives, and the thoughtful activities help him thrive. It's a real comfort to know he is settled, loved and understood. The staff are professional yet warm, and their communication is fantastic. The nursery itself is always spotless and well organised. Creating a safe and welcoming space for children, we feel very lucky to have found this nursery and couldn't recommend it more highly.

Review from L C (Mother of Child) published on 31 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

This nursery has been the best decision for our child. We were so apprehensive before he started, and have been nothing but completely satisfied. They look after all his needs, playing, sleeping, feeding and offering comfort, but also take such a strong role in his development. It's more of a 'school' led approach, and it's so fab to watch him learn and grow, but also see how pleased and loved the teachers see him and learning and love it. Do not hesitate to send your child here!

Review from E M (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My child has recently changed rooms, and the staff have been very good at communicating how she has settled in. She has settled very well and enjoyed lots of opportunities such as painting, playing outside and drawing. She enjoys her days at nursery and making new friends. The staff are very attentive and kind. They are great at passing on information about her day.

Overall Experience

We have loved our time at Acorns House. Truly caring staff that we've gotten to know over our time there, a warm and nurturing environment, outdoor space and a nutritious menu. We've been at Acorns House since our daughter was 11 months old and she has grown into a kind and confident little girl in the pre-school who happily walks up the steps into nursery at every drop off. We have loved the open afternoons for parents and grandparents, and our daughter really enjoyed their recent trip out to the theatre. They were very supportive with our potty training journey too. I don't know how we're going to find something similar when we move out of the area - Acorns House has set an incredibly high bar. We are going to miss the Acorns House team so, so much. I couldn't recommend highly enough.

Review from K A (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child is due to leave at the end of August to go to Reception. She has been at Acorns Park Grove since she was 9 months old and has loved every second! She has experienced and learnt so much during her time there, and been cared for by such friendly and approachable people. There is always a good variety of activities to do, access to an amazing outdoor area and lots of resources. Sometimes we struggle to get her to leave at pick up! She has formed strong bonds with her group leaders, who I know she will really miss. Management have always been so accommodating of when we have needed to change our days.

We're so lucky that our daughter has been able to attend Acorns and I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for warm, fun and caring childcare.

Overall Experience

Acorns park grove are the best! The girls are amazing! I was apprehensive when my son first started and they reassured me and talked through everything with me! The first few weeks of him starting I would ring to check in and they were so kind and talked through his morning/day with me. When my son started he didn't talk much and I feel now he has come on so much, he doesn't stop talking and his confidence is through the roof and I feel like that's on the girls for helping him come out his shell and spend time with him! He has some many friends in there now and so nice to hear his stories. He's always the last to leave as he loves it so much!! Couldn't recommend enough. Thank you!!!

We are very happy with the care received the quantity and quality of activities and resources is amazing. The smaller groups and dedicated spaces really form close bonds between the children. There are a lot of skills our son has learned at nursery that have impressed his new school very much.

Leaving my son in this nursery, it is leaving in peace of mind. I know my son will have a cuddle when sad, will be entertained and stimulated, will have fun and be happy. Everyone is kind and understanding. I know my requests will be fulfilled and my son is safe. I could not be happier with Acorns Park Grove.

Overall Experience

We are very happy with our choice of Acorns House (city centre) nursery. They are very personable, ensure a review of our sons day at every collection, and are always transparent with any issues or accidents. The menu is varied and our child seems to enjoy as he usually eats everything. We are especially happy with the story time and learning activities, as well as the crafts. We'd like to see the educational and outdoor learning continue and increase.

Her start at nursery wasn't the easiest and the nursery were so supportive every day. They helped me transition back to work and made me feel confident that my daughter was well looked after. My daughter has so much fun every day and all the different activities are amazing for her learning. She has had the best start in life at Acorns House. Every individual care worker is exceptional.
