My son started at Acorns Duffryn seven months ago. From my first visit, I knew it was the right nursery for him. The nursery is welcoming and clean and has such a homely feeling. The staff were amazing and helped my son settle quickly. He takes part in a wide range of activities and is always so happy when I pick him up!
Our child has recently moved into a new group at his nursery. He absolutely loves everything he does, especially the outdoor classroom, craft opportunities and sensory play activities. Another favourite for him is going to the local park with his friends. All the staff know our child very well and always provide the best care for him. It is lovely to have regular updates on the app to show us the development stages both academically and socially. Thank you to everyone!
The staff at Acorns Duffryn have massively helped my daughter's confidence grow. They have been so patient with her and seeing how much she’s grown since attending is amazing. She talks about her nursery nurses all the time.
My son has attended Acorns Nursery in Duffryn since he was a year and a half old, and the staff have been nothing but accommodating and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone, and they have made his transition into primary education and learning a smooth one. They have helped navigate potty training and a new sibling with us as a family and have been truly amazing! My husband and I would highly recommend this nursery. Our son loves attending and loves the food and activities and often comes home telling us all about his day with a beaming smile. Thank you, Acorns Duffryn.
Lovely staff, really friendly and helpful. The girls run in every morning happy and come home worn out and can’t wait to tell me about the activities. They’ve come on leaps and bounds, really appreciate all the educational support and craft
All the staff are excellent and really care about the children. I love getting regular app updates, it’s such a great insight into our son’s nursery life and all the fun activities he does during the day.
Staff ensure to update us after each full day, ensuring any concerns are voiced to us. I feel confident that my daughter is in safe hands whilst left at Acorns and feel very happy with the care she has been given so far.
I was nervous about our little boy starting nursery but I can honestly say the staff have been incredible. The feedback provided at the end of every day is great and you start to realise how many things they do with the kids. Our boy absolutely loves it (and the food which I wish they offered to the parents it's that good!). This is exactly how a nursery should be run..it's immaculately clean, the staff love working with the children and the attention to detail puts my mind at ease. Thank you for making the introduction to nursery life so easy.
Acorns Nursery are fabulous! My son enjoys the time he is in the nursery. As a parent, we can see he is learning as well. The staff in the nursery is fantastic and I always find them helpful. I love the morning song he sings in English and Welsh.
My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery. Always lots of activities for her to enjoy and puts me at ease knowing how much she enjoys it. Staff always give me thorough updates about her day which I love.
My child enjoys nursery and I think that is a testament to the staff and the facilities. The staff are good at communicating issues with my child and telling me about each day. It would be useful if they were better at posting photographs and updates online about my child's progress but I accept there are challenges that come with this.
I am extremely happy with this nursery. They really care about my child. They are very informative and my child participates in a number of great activities. The staff are brilliant. 5 stars from me.
My son goes to Acorns in Duffryn and we are super happy with the care he gets there! We love the activities they do with him and it's great to see how happy he is with them. All the staff are really caring, and our son even talks about them when he's not there. It's great to know he's in safe hands and wouldn't send him anywhere else.
My little girl has been at Duffryn for the last couple of months and the quality of care has been amazing. She's always happy to attend, communication is great with staff and we are so happy with our decision to take her to Duffryn Acorns. The team work exceptionally hard and it shows with the care and learning our little girl receives.
Acorns have been absolutely incredible! My son has been going there for 2 years now and he has learnt so much. The staff are fantastic and always happy to help. My youngest will be starting soon as we can’t imagine sending him anywhere else. Thank you to all the staff for giving us the best nursery experience.
We have been highly impressed by the level of care all of the staff have given our little one since starting at Acorns almost 2 years ago. He is always greeted with a happy smile and ‘Bore da!’ each and every morning and walks in full of smiles and excitement for the day ahead. I drop him off knowing he’s in safe, caring, and loving hands. He loves all the lovely ladies that work with him throughout the day and is also a massive fan of the food provided. We are kept up to with his progress and achievements via the app and are given a detailed review of his day each evening. He always leaves nursery full of smiles but exhausted from a day jam-packed with lots of lovely activities with his friends. The nursery has excellent facilities both inside and out, and our little one especially loves the garden areas. We are beyond pleased with all aspects of Acorns Duffryn and would recommend it to everyone.
My daughter has been with acorns the past 2 years and I have found that is was the right thing I have done. I wouldn't have it any other way her going to another nursery as she enjoys the nursery so much, and when she comes home and talks about her friends and the lovely ladies who look after her half the time she doesn't want to come home. The range of activities and food that is offered is outstanding, I just love the care that is given to her.
My daughter absolutely adores this nursery, from the moment she came for a settling in session I instantly became relaxed at the positive energy that surrounded her. She has been taught a great deal and loves the staff along with her friends in the nursery. I am so grateful to the care she is provided while I work and feel totally comfortable with bringing my next child to Acorns Duffryn, great nursery.
My granddaughter has attended Acorns for over 12 months and she has learnt so much. She so enjoys going, never any worries. The food is very good and nutritional. The staff are amazing, always welcoming to the children and very friendly and approachable. I would recommend Acorns to everyone who wants their little ones to be cared for, happy and learning.
We loved our time at Acorns Duffryn so much. The building looks like a comfortable home and not a nursery setting full of screaming children and plastic noisy toys. The staff are wonderful and caring; even those who didn't see my son every day knew his name. Everyone was always welcoming and had lots of information for me at the end of the day. The meals were outstanding, and it was such a comfort to know my son was eating well. The gardens and outdoor activities are wonderful.
