Excellent care for our 3 year old. She loves the staff and facilities. Couldn't ask for more!
Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review.
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
Thank you so much for such a detailed and positive review. It means so much to the staff.
Staff are warm and friendly and communication from the nursery is good. Provision provided is well suited to the age of the pupils in each room and special events and home links make parents and families feel included.

Sucha lovely review, thank you so much from the whole Management Team!
Both of my children have loved attending Acorns, the care they receive from the wonderful staff is individualised and second to none. The nursery itself is always so clean and the room are all so welcoming. They have really created a home from home environment. Thank you to all the staff for giving my children the best start in education.

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.
We are so grateful to all the lovely ladies in Acorns Duffryn for all the care and support over the past few years. 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
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, it has been a pleasure looking after Jackson and we wish him well in school nursery.
Special thanks to Ellie.

My son had a wonderful time at Acorns Duffryn. The staff are so caring and my son was clearly happy and comfortable in their care. The food is good and there is a wide range of activities. I loved all the things my son made at nursery and bought home. We were able to go to work relaxed knowing our child was in the best care possible. Thank you to everyone who has been involved over the past year and a half.

My daughter had a truly wonderful time at Acorns Duffryn. Staff have been so caring and the individualised support and care has been fantastic. The children are blessed with good food and a wide range of activities. I particularly loved all the things my daughter made at nursery and brought back home. She particularly enjoyed the wonderful outdoor facility the nursery had to offer and the range of caring staff. We were able to go to work relaxed knowing our child was in the best care possible. Thank you to everyone who has been involved over the past two years.
My daughter started in Blossom Group in Acorns Duffryn in October 2024. Since starting I have been so grateful for all the love and care shown to her by all the staff at Acorns Duffryn. We love finding out about all the things she has been getting up to during the day - from arts and crafts, to playing outdoors, to reading, singing and sensory play. We feel Acorns Duffryn was 100% the best choice for our little one.
My experience (mostly my child's experience) has been totally awesome. She has thoroughly enjoyed her stay in the nursery and there haven't been any issues up to date.
Fantastic experience so far. My young son has really settled in well. Due to the lovely staff. Even though he's so young, he does enjoy his time in nursery.
