Review from Pamela G (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter is attending since January. She was under 1 when joined and never been away from me for more than 1 hour so the first few days were really hard but the team at baby acorn is truly the best with small children and after a week she was already settled and started to enjoy her time there. My little one loves the different activities and I can tell by her smiley face on the pictures they regularly post on the app. I really appreciate the fact that they serve fresh and nutritious food, the daily updates and how caring and attentive they all are. Bay acorn is in my opinion the best nursery for little ones.

We are so pleased with the care our child receives at the day nursery. The staff, especially Claire, are incredibly nurturing and attentive. It's reassuring to know our little one is in such safe and loving hands. The environment is stimulating and allows for wonderful developmental opportunities. We highly recommend this establishment to any parent seeking exceptional childcare. I cant thank them enough for all they have done for our little one over the past few months.

Review from George P (Father of Child) published on 19 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our experience with Baby Acorns has consistently been excellent. Our Son has been attending since he was about 6 months old, for over a year now - and it has been fantastic for him. The staff continuity has been excellent, the level of care superb - and we've seen him develop skills and confidence linked to his activities at nursery which has been great. All of the staff are very caring and in particular Sophie, his key worker, has been brilliant - and very patient! I would recommend Baby Acorns without hesitation.

Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with the care our daughter receives from Baby Acorns. The nursery is warm and welcoming, and has a home from home feel to it. The staff are very professional, and we are always kept up to date with what our daughter has done throughout the day. The management team are always on hand to answer any questions we may have, and no job is too big for them. We feel very safe leaving our daughter here, and she always comes home well cared for and happy.

Review from Jennifer L (Mother of Child) published on 28 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with Baby Acorns and everything about the nursery. Our daughter has been there for 9 months now, and we knew from the first time we visited that it was the one for her.
All of the staff are so incredibly caring and really take the time to get to know each child. The facilities are lovely and they have everything you could think of to make the environment fun, interesting, safe and cosy.
Our daughter loves being in a group with other children she knows and moving from room to room with them as they grow. You can see real friendships forming and brilliant relationships with staff too. The app is great for keeping up to date with how her day is going, and we love getting photos and things to take home that she's made during the week. The special events and theme-days are a big bonus, and make going to nursery feel exciting!

We were worried whether our very attached little one would be suited to a nursery, but baby acorns has genuinely been a game changer!

Review from M M (Mother of Child) published on 26 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My experience with this nursery since has been wonderful. The transition for my child was handled with so much care and patience, which really put my mind at ease as a parent. The staff are consistently welcoming and provide detailed updates on my child's day, from what they've eaten to the new skills they are developing. I've noticed a significant boost in my child's social confidence and language skills. The environment feels safe, stimulating, and genuinely nurturing. I would highly recommend this nursery to any local families looking for a supportive start for their little ones. The range of activities available is impressive, and I love that the children spend plenty of time engaged in creative play. The facilities are always clean, bright, and well-maintained. Communication from the management team is professional and transparent most importantly my child goes in happy

Review from Andrew W (Father of Child) published on 16 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A very caring and well-run nursery. Our child felt at home here very quickly and we felt very reassured they were getting good care and were enjoying themselves. Regular updates via app on what they were up to, their meals, naps and nappies which is helpful when planning evenings. A daily summary of the day's activities, which were partly structured, varied and fun. Good communication at all times. A really good facility with a great garden. At the top end of local prices, but worth it.

Overall Experience

All three of my children have attended baby acorns and have loved it. They settled in well, made friends and loved all the activities. We have had every trust in the staff and watched our children thrive. There is a common sense approach to any day to day challenges and the nursery have always been accommodating with any additional support. I would certainly recommend Baby acorns, and I know the grandparents have been impressed too. Thank you to the managers, and the rest of the team.

Review from Matilda G (Mother of Child) published on 18 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both our children have been at Baby Acorns and absolutely loved it. I feel confident and happy every morning that my youngest - who is still there - is going off to have a great day and so does she. The nursery works really hard to communicate with parents both the fun things and any challenges eg toddler behavioural issues. The range of activities (creative, educational, yoga!) is always changing and they have lots of time outside when the weather permits, the garden is one of the reasons we chose the nursery in the first place - so much space. Above all it's the people working at baby acorns who make is so special, both in the care for the children and positive energy that amazingly seems to persist all day long until pick up time. We are so happy to have found this nursery for our kids' first years.

Review from H A (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Baby Acorns has been amazing for my little boy. The care, dedication, and warmth shown by the manager and her fantastic team has been outstanding. Their passion for early years education shines through in everything, and I couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact they have had on my son's development.
The indoor and outdoor activities are brilliant. There is always something engaging and stimulating for the children.
The food is fresh, nutritious, and delicious. It's reassuring to know that my little one is getting healthy, balanced meals every day.
The communication with parents is excellent. The team keeps me well-informed and involved, and they go the extra mile to arrange activities for parents to attend, making me feel like a real part of my son's early learning.

My son has come on leaps and bounds. I will always be grateful for everything Baby Acorns has done for him. If you're looking for a nurturing, fun, and well-run nursery, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Overall Experience

Baby acorns has been a joy to take my daughter to. The staff are the loveliest people and we couldn't be happier that she is spending a few days with them every week. We love how happy the staff are to tell us everything she has been up to in the day. Our only issue is that the parking can be frustrating.

App not used much. Acorns elite nursery!

Overall Experience

We are really happy with the care that Baby Acorns offers our son, he is really happy there. I was very anxious at the start but they helped him settle so quickly and now he loves being dropped off. The environment is so warm and cosy and the food is excellent. Our son has come on leaps and bounds with confidence since starting to play with other children and the staff treat them like they are their own. It is on the more expensive end of the scale for the area but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. They do so many activities with them too - far more than me at home! A lovely nursery.

Review from Lisa H (Mother of Child) published on 14 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter loves her days at nursery here. I can see how much she is thriving and gets from her time with the team. I can't praise their care enough.
Staff are so friendly and caring. Always going that extra bit further to make me as a parent feel settled leaving my baby and my daughter just adores them.
Always a warm welcome. Very clean, bright and great facilities inside and out for the children. My daughter is engaged and learning (without realising it) every day. Great activities planned (you can tell time and effort is put into the planning).

My daughter definitely enjoys her meal times as well, always well balanced and a great variety of food. Location is also very convenient. Great nursery, I highly recommend.

Overall Experience

All aspects of the Baby Acorns experience have been excellent. The organisational aspects (email correspondence, contacting for illness, newsletters) are superb. The attentive care our daughter receives with the team is second to none. They were extremely supportive of both us as new parents and our daughter during the settling-in stages too. The team are so lovely at pick up and drop off and always gives us a personalised update of the day. Our daughter is blossoming into a wonderful little human in their care and we couldn't be more happy with the service the team provide.
