My little one has recently joined Acorns nursery and I cannot praise the staff enough. They greet my little boy with warmth every morning, and arrange lots of fun activities throughout the day. It's very comforting to know he's looked after by caring and approachable people.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review.
The team at Acorns are fantastic. We feel so comfortable leaving our son with them and he absolutely loves his time there. The range of activities they do is great and the food is always really well received
Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review, it means the world to the team!
My child has been at Acorns Llanishen for almost two years and we have had a wonderful experience with the setting. The staff are exceptional, they do a very varied selection of activities and games with the children and lots of arts, crafts and messy play. The menu is very healthy. Communication is great and they regularly share photos and updates. My child has thrived there. He has developed a wonderful relationship with his keyworkers and loves going. I would recommend it to anyone.
Wow! such a lovely review, thank you for taking the time to write this.
We have been using Acorns Llanishen for the past 10 years for all 3 of our children, and we have always been very satisfied with the standard of care. All of our children have settled well and made great friendships there. The staff are very kind and warm, and the activities and opportunities given are fantastic.
The staff, facilities and food are fantastic. Our daughter has been attending since she was 6 months old. Acorns have helped her flourish. The progression and development the nursery has facilitated has been a joy to watch and has delivered real value for money. We would have no hesitation in sending out the next child there, which is the highest praise you can give.
- The car park is tricky! The road is very narrow and bumpy, and the car park is pretty tight. I've been waiting over 20 minutes at pick up before.
- The staff can be dubious about talking to talking to taking the younger ones outside. There have been multiple occasions where they have been stuck indoors all day for no obvious reasons.
- Some people abide by the illness policy, whereas there's a complete disregard from others, which is really frustrating!
That's all we need to know.
His happiness and well being are obviously of paramount importance and I can not emphasise enough how much the staff go above and beyond.
There is aways plenty going on, the staff and management are phenomenal and dedicated to the children and parents.
When picking him up, we get a little handover of how he is doing that day and all the activities he has been upto which we then chat about on the way home.
If anyone is thinking of putting your child in nursery then this is definitely the one.
I am incredibly grateful to have found Llanishen for my daughter. From the moment we enrolled, the staff has been nothing short of amazing. They are warm, caring, and genuinely passionate about fostering each child's growth. My daughter has blossomed in their nurturing environment, gaining confidence, independence, and a love for learning. The nursery offers a perfect balance of structured activities and free play, which encourages creativity and social skills. I truly appreciate the open communication and regular updates from the staff, ensuring we're always informed of her progress. It's evident that every child's well-being is their top priority. I'm so thankful for the supportive, positive experience at Llanishen and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, stimulating, and caring environment for their little ones. Thank you to the entire team for the wonderful impact you've made in my daughter's life!
Our son has thrived during his time here. The staff are exceptional; they are always friendly, approachable, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure the children are happy and well-cared for.
The nursery offers a wide range of activities that support children's development. The environment is always clean and tidy, with learning materials displayed throughout the nursery, celebrating various cultural events throughout the year.
The staff know each child well, including their likes and dislikes, which makes for a truly personalised experience.
Overall, I highly recommend Acorns to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their child.
Both my daughters have attended Acorns Nursery in Llanishen. They both have thrived in nursery. The nursery has really been a home away from home for them. The loving culture created by the staff at the nursery is second to none. We are also very pleased with the activities organised by the nursery at each stage, which have been extremely beneficial to our children's development. Our eldest daughter is now in school and doing very well, thanks to a large extent to the excellent foundation she brought from Acorns Llanishen.
The nursery is clean, bright, and filled with thoughtful learning materials. The activities are always well planned, fostering creativity and learning, while also allowing plenty of time for play. What stands out most is the individual attention each child receives, ensuring they feel valued and understood.
It's clear that the team goes above and beyond to create a supportive, caring atmosphere. Our child has grown so much in their time here, and we feel completely confident in leaving them in such capable hands. We are incredibly grateful for all the love and care our little girl has received over the past 3 years. Highly recommend!
Acorns Llanishen is fantastic, the choice of food my child has is nutritious and there is always a back up if they don't eat it. The activities they do with them throughout the day are all linked to their developmental age group and more importantly the staff are all really kind and genuinely want the best for my child. I'm so impressed that I've booked for my second child to also go to this nursery.
All the girls are fab.
The staff are very caring and have great relationships with the children. The meals are healthy and I feel confident they have eaten well each day.
The little extras staff do always go a long way. I would highly recommend.
They have provided the perfect learning environment for my children and the experiences, development and learning are exceptional.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My daughter has been attending since she was 11 months old, she is now 3 and absolutely loves going to nursery in the morning. All of the staff and management team are so lovely and caring. I love hearing above all the fun activities she gets up to every day whilst at nursery.
We are so happy we chose Acorns Llanishen for our daughter. She is so content and settled and is always happy both at drop off and pick up. The key workers have all been great and the nursery generally has a professional but lovely warm feel. Our experience has only been positive.
Fantastic nursery. Excellent staff who are very caring. A real focus on development and learning. Excellent facilities with both indoor and outdoor areas. Health food of very high standard. Would thoroughly recommend.
A fabulous nursery. I have the utmost confidence in the care my daughter receives. She clearly enjoys her time there and is well cared for. The staff are all attentive and supportive to our needs as a family.
Whenever I collect my daughter, she is always happy and tells me about all the fun activities she has been doing.
Thank you to all the staff at Priory House for taking such great care of her!
