Acorns Duffryn

Our child started at Acorns Duffryn in September 2024 and has nothing but an amazing experience. The workers are fantastic, tentative, caring and friendly. The workers take a genuine interest in our child and are always keen to tell us about his day.

From the moment we came to view Acorns Duffryn, we knew this was the place we wanted our son to go to. Our son has settled in really well and to see his progress is wonderful. We would recommend the nursery in a heartbeat.

My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery. We are so pleased. All of the children are always happy, content and smiling and as a parent you can't ask for anything more.

Very friendly staff really engaging with families and children. Very professionally run. Always communicate with us well if there have been any issues or problems. It's really helped our daughter's development and she always seems so happy there. Would highly recommend it to any friend or any family members.

Acorns Duffryn is simply lovely. Our daughter has attended since she was 18 months old, she's now 4. She has lovely stories to tell each day and comes home with handfuls of books, crafts and other exciting activities. She adores her key carers (she calls them teachers) and is always happy to spend time with them. She loves yoga, sports and other additional activities they do. Personally, I feel very comfortable whilst I go to work knowing my girl is safe and loved at nursery.

Our children are thriving at the nursery. It's a calm and very welcoming nursery with caring and wonderful staff. I feel that my children are safe and well looked after. They have already built amazing relationships. I feel the nursery always has my children's best interests at heart. We love this nursery.

They are always fed well (sometimes will request seconds or thirds!) and enjoy the menu choices.

We have had a really positive experience at Acorns Duffryn. Staff are caring, considerate and sensitive to parents’ needs as well as the children. The settling-in process was great - we felt our little one was getting the best possible chance to familiarise herself with her key workers and the setting. The nursery environment is always clean, welcoming and homely. We love receiving updates and photographs on the app showing the fun she’s having during her day. The outdoor space is also brilliant with age-appropriate zones and special care is made to help support children to meet their developmental milestones. The artwork and books that are brought home also enable you to feel involved in their nursery day which is lovely - I am looking forward to coming along to the Mother’s Day afternoon tea and craft session! Communication is also great, we are regularly updated via email about any changes or important information and managers are always available.

Acorns Dyffryn is in their own league as a nursery provider. I wouldn't be able to find a bad word to say. The building is beautiful and always well-maintained and clean. All the staff are exceptional. So kind and caring and genuinely believe they care for them as their own. The menu is miles ahead of other nurseries, my daughter has eaten such a variety of meals and food due to this. My daughter has developed so much in her time at Acorns. She runs in delighted to see the staff and her friends, who she has such a close bond with. She even waves and knows the names of the nursery staff who don't care for her, which shows the impression the staff make on the children. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough and when she goes to school it will be such a loss to us for her not to attend anymore.

More expensive than other nurseries but is worth it.

My little one is coming on leaps and bounds here. Great communication with all staff when I've needed it. Fabulous spaces for all groups. Modern communication for parents to be updated at all times on activities. One of the best in the area.

I viewed quite a few nurseries when my son was needing to attend and Acorns Duffryn was our favourite by far. The cosy, large house setting with separate rooms for each of the different groups was much more preferable to us than the other nurseries that just had one giant room with a separation in between. Another amazing feature was the chef on-site! We were amazed at the menu and variety of food all the children were exposed to. My daughter now attends, from 7 months, and there was no hesitation in us putting her in here as the staff are so lovely and professional, the children do so many fun activities and I feel my son is getting very well prepared by them to start school in September.

They keep parents well informed of their children's progression throughout the day which is a great asset.

Would highly recommend the nursery.

My son has attended Acorns Duffryn since August 2023. After visiting a few nurseries in the local area I am so pleased we chose Acorns Duffryn. All the staff were welcoming on this visit and his settling sessions and continue to be each day he is there. I can’t thank the staff enough for their amazing work with all the children. My son found attending nursery difficult in the first few months having been at home with me for the first 12 months but each day the staff were so kind and caring, he now walks in with no worries and has the best time while he is there. I would recommend Acorns Duffryn to anyone who is looking for the perfect nursery. Thank you all for your continued amazing work and the support you provide not only to the children but to parents/guardians too.

My daughter has attended Acorns since she was 6 months old, she is now 3 years old and she loves nursery and has attended full time. She loved all of the staff at Acorns Dyffryn and is super happy to attend nursery every day, some days she doesn't want to leave and wants to carry on playing with all her friends. Acorns Dyffryn really is a home away from home for my daughter and she loves all of the activities, messy play and especially the garden play. The activities are so well structured and educational, since starting in the Oak group her vocabulary and skills have flourished. She loves the themed activities (especially the Halloween party) and went on about a pumpkin party in the nursery all week. Acorns has been so supportive, compassionate and caring and truly is a fantastic nursery. I know whenever I go to pick my daughter up in the evenings she has had a fantastic day and is always happy and feels at home.

Both my daughters have attended Acorns Duffryn, and I would recommend them every time! My 3-year-old currently attends twice a week. The staff are so friendly and take great care of my little one - I know she's always in the best hands.

My husband and I moved from London to Newport in January of this year. We were really heartbroken to have to move our children from the nursery they loved into Acorns Duffryn to accommodate our move to Wales. We did a lot of research and went on a recommendation to choose Acorns ahead of our move. Acorns Duffryn has completely exceeded our expectations. Our kids are so happy there and the staff are just simply amazing. Every day I go to collect my children and I have various staff members engaged in conversation, enthusiastically telling me about the children’s day. They do so much with them and all genuinely care about the overall well-being of the children. It is a magical place with magical people, creating a safe and happy place for children.

Please keep up the great job that you ladies do.

My daughter went to this nursery from when she was a baby and left for school in January 2023. She loved her time here, and so did I. My daughter flourished at this wonderful little nursery. The care and dedication of all the staff were 110%. I believe wholeheartedly that education has certainly set my child in good stead for starting primary school when the time came. Thank you to all the nursery staff at Acorns Duffryn.
