My daughter has attended Acorns Duffryn for the last 2 years and I could not ask for a better nursery. All the staff are amazing - the support and care they provide is second to none. I cannot thank all the staff enough for being my daughter’s home away from home.
The staff at Acorns Duffryn are extremely helpful. They go out of their way to help you with anything, 2 of my grandchildren went to Duffryn and they really enjoy their time at the nursery. Very welcoming staff and a lovely environment for the children.
Yet again our service and experience has been second to none! He is content, happy and thriving in all areas of development. He is cared for by an extremely caring and knowledgable team and I love all the pieces of art and craft he comes home with along with his development updates through the app. As a deputy manager of a private nursery myself I'm a proud parent to say where my son attends and you'll always be the best decision I made for both children with regards to taking their first steps in life and learning!
The nursery is always spotless, beautiful toys, lovely areas for each group plus an amazing garden. The menus consistently looks delicious and my daughter always eats all her food. There is an excellent variety of activities for the children and I always look forward to the artwork.
My daughter has a lovely attachment to the staff and she is always happy when I pick her up, I know she has had a really good day and feel happy that she is safe and secure in the care of Acorns Duffryn and all their staff.
He absolutely loves going and beams with pride whenever he brings me home his artwork and tells me about all the fun activities he had done that day.
He even loves the food and is always really excited for ‘Nursery breakfast’ on our drive over in the morning.
All the staff members are always so genuine and friendly and the care and happiness of all the children is their main priority.
No matter who is at the door when you arrive you are always greeted so warmly and made to feel at home and I always feel comfortable leaving her with any of the staff members.
My little one took a few weeks to settle in but everyone was so patient and kind with her and now most days she will go walking in happily on her own accord. Everyone is always willing to give her a cuddle or some extra time if she needs it. It has definitely become her home away from home. Thank you to all the staff that work so hard and care so well for all the children. We think that you are all amazing.
My son has developed so well at Acorns. The team are friendly and welcoming every day. My son absolutely loves coming here and we will all be sad when the day comes when he has to leave to start school.
The best nursery there is around. Treats your child like their own, the food is amazing and healthy and I’m always satisfied she’s being fed correctly. My granddaughter learns loads at this nursery.
I can’t imagine our son going anywhere else. He has been going to Acorns since he was 9 months old and he will leave this summer to go to school. All the staff have made us feel part of their family and they genuinely care about the children and parents. The staff are long-standing and well trained, hygiene faultless, the atmosphere calm but fun, great facilities, great communication, nutritious food all make in house, lovely activities and outside space. When our son graduates this year I will be crying with pride for him but also for myself as going there every day and chatting to the team there, knowing they care and are genuinely interested in the children in their care, has been one of the highlights of my day. Going to work and leaving your child in the care of others is always a difficult decision, but you can be certain at Acorns that they’ll find a second home.
My son absolutely loves this nursery and so do I. The safety here for the children is spot on, they inform you of everything that happens within your child’s day and even show you on an app. I would recommend this nursery to everyone, trust is a huge thing when it comes to your own children but I trust this nursery 100% with the safety of my child, which says a lot I think! The staff are lovely, the security of the whole building is great and the children have so much fun. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. It’s clean, they have so much room for the children especially in the garden and they learn so much.
It’s an amazing place for our son. We feel that all kids are loved there and has really good care.
Each staff has a great personality.
Acorns is such a wonderful nursery. The facilities are great, it's always so clean and the food is fantastic but more than anything, it's the staff that make this place such a treasure. They genuinely care for my daughter and her face lights up every day that she goes in, she has an absolute ball there and I have never once felt worried or concerned. She is always so full of energy and excitement when she gets home, she chatters away non stop about her friends and what she's been up to, I would recommend this nursery to anyone.
Brilliant nursery, the quality of care is outstanding and my child loves attending the nursery. The activities set out for the children have a lot of thought put into them. Acorns Duffryn is such a clean nursery, the rooms are always tidy and always smelling fresh. The staff are all so kind and easy to talk to. Definitely recommended.
Our little boy has been at Acorns since he was 5 months old and we have been totally impressed the whole time so far! When looking at nurseries in the area, it instantly felt right; the caring, calm, atmosphere and kind, cheerful staff standing out the most. My little boy always enjoys his time at nursery and I am always fully confident that he is in safe and loving hands. All of the team are delightful to speak to and go out of their way to ensure all the little ones and parents are happy. Cannot recommend Acorns Duffryn enough!
This nursery goes above and beyond for all of their children attending there. From their kind attitudes all the way down to the personal chef and the cleanliness of the place it is definitely a 5* nursery which deserves a 5* review! Nothing is ever to much trouble. My daughter is very specific in her ways and they always ensure she is accommodated in every way. Thanks so much, everyone at Acorns Duffryn! Bring on the next year until she goes to school!
My 18-month-old has been at Acorns Duffryn for 9 months. He attends 2 days a week and loves it. The staff do a range of activities indoors and outdoors and the girls are amazing. You can see they genuinely care about the children and enjoy their roles. They have a great range of tasty meals and snacks. My son has come on so well and I'm always informed about his day. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.
This nursery is fabulous, I feel totally at ease leaving my daughter here. She loves the nursery and adores the staff. Both my children have attended Acorns and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend here.
The nursery itself is lovely and the garden is spacious which will be great for playing outside in the summer months. The Christmas evening was great with a lovely grotto with Santa which was well decorated and festive. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. My daughter seems a lot happier here and is worn out after a day at nursery. There isn’t a thing I am unhappy with, excellent nursery.
This nursery has been absolutely fantastic. I was so worried about sending my first child to a good nursery but as soon as I came to see Acorns I knew it was perfect for him and I felt so much better about the whole situation. I loved that you could come and look around at any time, no appointment needed and everything was so clean. The staff are amazing with the children and there is plenty of staff around. I was so happy that when it was my second child’s turn I had no stress or worries and was actually excited for him to experience nursery life! There is a fab level of contact and communication from the nursery and I love that they send weekly emails with pictures and updates of how your child is getting on. I was so sad when the time came for them to start school! Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough!
I cannot speak highly enough of this nursery and the staff. From day one my children have had the greatest care, and I have been put at such ease leaving them there. For a parent that has their children in this nursery only one day a week, I cannot believe the amount they learn, achieve and feel so welcome. The staff make sure all their needs are met, including helping out sort food for a fussy eater. My eldest child is graduating this year and I can honestly say I'm going to be heartbroken when she leaves. I might have more children to keep my connection with Duffryn.
