Acorns Llanishen

Fantastic nursery - highly recommended. Children are extremely well cared for and all their needs met. My daughter is in the preschool group and is having a wonderful time, even with the COVID restrictions, the range and breadth of activities is diverse and inclusive. Hygiene and cleanliness standards are very high, in fact, my daughter has not had a day off unwell since joining the nursery 2 years ago. I cannot recommend this nursery enough; the feedback to parents/carers via the app is timely and detailed. We will be very sad to leave Acorns when my daughter starts school but look forward to Action Pak. Thank you so much to everyone at Acorns Llanishen.

Staff are always polite and understand what the child has been up to in the day. The day is packed full of activities and the use of the outside space is used very often. He always comes home with a smile on his face.

My daughter has attended Acorns Priory House and I would highly recommend this nursery for a number of reasons. The staff provide the utmost care for the children through fun and educational activities and continue to keep me updated through photographs and home-based activities that me and my child can carry out at home which allows me more involvement through my child’s nursery experience. The food variety is amazing and I am so glad that my child is able to experience so much variety of healthy foods. As covid has been such a difficult time, the staff and management team have put me at complete ease when dropping off and collecting as I know that my child will always be provided with a fun and educational day and I am always greeted with a smile and happy child!

Absolutely faultless. This nursery has the highest of standards across the board and my husband and I couldn’t rate it enough. We were over the moon when our child received a place. She’s in her final year now and we will all be devastated when she leaves. It’s been her happy constant place for the last three years. She always skips in and skips out chattering about what she’s done, which speaks volumes. The choice of activities are exceptional allowing each child to grow and develop educationally but in a fun and engaging way. The staff are friendly, caring which is a big plus and welcoming. We are so fond of this nursery and truly believe our daughter has developed great skills because of their passion and dedication to nurture each child. We’ll be sad for our daughter to say goodbye but equally happy to return when our son starts his Acorn Priory House (Llanishen) journey in September. In our eyes it’s the best start for our children and the best nursery in town. No other nursery comes close and it’s worth every penny.

She is always extremely happy and doesn’t take a glance back when I drop her off. She always comes home with lovely artwork and talks about everything that she’s learnt. She particularly enjoys the new building for preschool where she can play indoors and outdoors with free choice as well as structured activities. She’s made some lovely bonds with her teachers and has lots of friendships. We’ll miss Acorns Priory House (Llanishen) a lot when she starts at school full time.

Fantastic nursery. Very caring staff, lots of fun, good educational element. Lots of outdoor play with numerous outdoor zones to play in. Good, daily feedback from staff and regular photo updates. Staff all know us and our little one well. Our little one has a great group of friends and would rather go to nursery than stay home with us! Good food with lots of variety. Children get a chance to cook too.

Really happy with this nursery and although it's expensive, the experience we have received is faultless. Previously my 2 daughters attended this Acorns and a few others due to job/house moves. So when our son needed daycare we didn't consider any other settings and put his name down on the waiting list. Although we can't enter Acorns due to the pandemic, I know the setting is cosy, with great activities and the best caring/attentive staff.

We are always welcomed with big smiles and happy staff. The interaction and communication have helped our little boy's social skills tremendously, as due to covid he's had no other interaction. We look forward to picking him up knowing that he's been in safe hands and hearing about his day and getting a piece of his artwork is adorable. All of the staff are amazing and so friendly. Thank you so much!

Our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her early years at Acorns Llanishen the staff for all age groups are fantastic. They care for the children as if they are their own. They teach, encourage and motivate the children using the excellent facilities available, namely outdoor classrooms, grassed areas, play areas and forest school. The whole premises is of a high standard with regular maintenance taking place. The standard and selection of food for mealtimes and snacks is excellent, encouraging the children to try a variety of food types, would highly recommend as an excellent start for any child.

We cannot fault Acorns nursery. For 4 years we have enjoyed the warmth and dedication of wonderful staff who have ensured our little boy was always happy to go to nursery and eager to tell us about his day. The care and activities during the pre-school year have been particularly impressive. We will be very sorry to leave our Acorns days behind us.

We have been delighted with the service Acorns Llanishen has provided. The staff are all extremely friendly and welcoming and our little boy has loved every day he's spent at Acorns. He regularly comes home with paintings, cakes he's baked or stories about the outdoor activities he's enjoyed doing. We will really miss all the staff at Acorns and the exceptionally friendly and professional service they provide. Thank you Acorns.

Like many parents, I felt very nervous about choosing where to send our son when I had to return to work. Our son has now been at Priory House for six months and I am still very impressed with the level of care he receives. Staff are unfalteringly warm and friendly. They've been incredibly supportive to us as parents and to our son, especially when he was seriously ill. Our son has so many new experiences at nursery and his diet has definitely benefited from being offered a wide variety of food. There are currently daily paper feedback forms (soon to be electronic) and staff are always happy to talk through his day at pick up. Staff will seek verification if they don't recognise you at the door, which I find reassuring. They managed his transition into the next stage room really well and from my perspective, they regularly demonstrate child-centred care. I can see our son becoming more adventurous and confident which I believe in part is due to the nurture he receives at Priory House.

Amazing staff who go all out with my daughter. She is always happy going into nursery. Thank you for looking after my child.

My daughter is currently attending the nursery upstairs. She loves going to the nursery and thoroughly enjoys all of the activities she does there. She always loves the outdoor play area. She always seems happy with all the staff that look after her and never cries when I leave her. I would highly recommend the nursery to any parent looking for a childcare setting.

Friendly and welcoming staff with well-equipped premises and rooms. Excellent curriculum focus and learning for pre-school group. Always fun and interesting topics and activities. My daughter adores her key workers - the care they show each child is phenomenal. Limited flexibility if additional hours are ever required but otherwise no complaints.

My child has attended Priory House Acorns (Llanishen) for 4 years. The whole time has been a wonderful experience for both of us. Her time has been filled with wonderful and educational activities. With a homely, clean environment and such loving, friendly staff it feels more like a home than a nursery. I would recommend to everyone.

Acorns nursery is truly reaching and surpassing all our expectations regarding learning, entertaining, looking after and helping to grow our little boy. But beyond that, they are always providing through games and new interesting tasks, expansion to their interests, talents, personality. The staff were always ready to help with all our concerns in a constructive, gentle way. We just wish it could also be a bit cheaper so there we could afford to send him more than 3 days a week.

We’ve been Acorns parents for nearly three years now and would not consider sending our child anywhere else in these early years. The Priory House setting isn’t dissimilar to a five-star hotel! Impeccable service, the very highest of standards, which of course come at a price. That’s often the first thing friends that don’t send their children to Acorns say to me “but it’s so expensive...”. Parents that do send their children to Acorns say “it’s worth every single penny”. We have no family support nearby and are entirely dependent on the care offered by the staff to our three-year-old daughter. We would be absolutely lost without each and every single one of them. From the housekeeper to the nursery manager, our daughter loves and is cared for by each of them.

This is a fantastic nursery. The staff are all warm, friendly, very caring and helpful. The range of activities they provide is fun, educational and stimulating. I love that they spent a lot of time outdoors - the garden, whatever the weather and when they arrive here it is a hive of different activities spread out for them to choose from. I cannot recommend Acorns enough.

Manager and staff are all lovely.
