Our little girl loves spending time at the nursery. The days are varied and staff are friendly and helpful. We've found the menu options to be great, with a wide variety that changes throughout the year.

My son is really enjoying his time at Baby Acorns. The staff are very warm and welcoming and have helped him to settle in quickly. We love reading about his day, what he has eaten and done during the day. We never worry about leaving him at Baby Acorns in the morning as we know he is in safe hands.

During the settling in days, staff were welcoming to us and our daughter. Once she started properly, the report cards are great along with the reports we got from the staff.
When our daughter hurt herself, the staff looked after her brilliantly. The food that is served surpasses our expectations and
we are pleased with the variation. Good work!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have visited 4 different nurseries in Cardiff before sending our 9-month old for 4 full days a week, but this one stood out. This is a very clean (in comparison to others) and well-organised nursery with babies up to the age of 2.5. The care is very good and my daughter loves going there. The staff
is professional and always positive. They change on average 4-5 nappies a day which I am very happy with as never had any nappy rash issues. Meals vary a lot and in 95% my little one eats everything. There is a separate cot room for little babies which was very important point on our checklist. It is quite expensive in comparison to other nurseries in the area but there is no charge for Bank Holidays like in the others.

Home from home environment, my son settled in really well. We were really pleased they offered settling before he started. Staff were friendly. The security was very good. Feedback given was 'is always personal'.

Review from Cheryl W (Mother of Child) published on 5 October 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my sons have attended this nursery. Staff are friendly, caring and although there is a big gap between our boys most staff are still there so the continuity to us as a family is really reassuring.
The nursery is clean and spacious and very homely. The garden is beautiful and they encourage the
children to grow fruits and vegetables.
Staff are qualified and they seem really happy and content which gives us the confidence leaving our little boy.
We viewed many nurseries, although this one a little more expensive I have no hesitation recommending.
The nursery cook is really helpful as our son has a number of allergies. Menus are healthy and nutritious and our son seems to eat better in nursery !
Our son is really happy here.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for Baby Acorns, Roath is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.922 for Baby Acorns, Roath is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.922
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Baby Acorns, Roath is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
