Our son will be leaving Acorns to start school full time soon. He has been with Acorns from 9 months and has had the best time there. The staff are wonderful. He has been very well looked after and I can't thank them enough. Thank you to all of Duffryn Acorns staff!
From the very beginning all of the staff were incredibly supportive and reassuring.
One of the great point for us was the outdoor area. Our daughter loves being outside, exploring and learning through play.
The food menu is fantastic with a great variety offered.
My daughter has been attending Acorns since she was just over 1 right up until she was 4, from the time we came to visit the nursery I knew it was the right one. She settled in well and all the staff were amazing she loved every one.
Thank you so much, it really means a lot to the staff to have such positive feedback.
I have had the absolute pleasure of having my children at acorns Duffryn since we moved here in 2021. The whole staff team are incredible. They made fantastic connections with staff who encouraged and facilitated friendships among peers. They had engaging activities and both my children have left with great confidence and curiosity in the world around them. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review.
The staff created such a warm, caring and supportive environment. They played a huge part in helping him become the kind, caring and helpful child he is today, encouraging confidence, friendships and independence.
We were especially grateful for the excellent support around his individual needs, including helping with his inhaler and carefully managing allergy information, which always gave us peace of mind.
The range of activities was fantastic, and he especially loved the activity days where parents and grandparents could visit and join in. Leaving was emotional as the nursery became such an important part of his early years. We would highly recommend Acorns Duffryn to any family.

One of the biggest selling points for us was the outdoor area. Our daughter loves being outside, exploring and learning through play, so it has been wonderful to see her thrive in that environment. We also really appreciate that the nursery follows a structured curriculum and provides purposeful learning opportunities throughout the day.
The food menu is fantastic, with a great variety offered across breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. It is reassuring to know she is being exposed to such a wide range of nutritious foods.
Any concerns we had along the way, whether around sleep, separation anxiety, or settling in, were always met with support and understanding

The team have been absolutely brilliant. My little boy was quite nervous starting and the team were really supportive with extra settling in sessions as needed. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming, it feels like everyone knows you and your child.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, I will be sure to pass your kind comments onto the team.
Our little girl had a hard time leaving us initially but the team at Acorns allowed us to do as many settling in sessions as we needed, to ensure our daughter had the best start to nursery life.
Each team member knows our daughter's name, greets us warmly every day and are always so positive and cheerful.
I've already recommended Acorns to friends, as I can't fault it.
Such a positive review, I will be sure to share with all the staff.

Jackson has made some lovely friends, grown in confidence, independence, and curiosity, and has loved his time here. The staff have always been approachable and caring, and it's clear how much they value each child. We feel Jackson is leaving well-prepared and happy as he starts Welsh nursery school. He will miss you all dearly. Thank you for everything, Becky and Steve
