I would highly recommend Acorns Duffryn to any potential parents. The staff are always helpful and friendly and willing to help and answer any questions. They always update me on my son's day and the activities they've been doing. The homelinks are excellent and he is doing nicely with home and nursery. In particular, now my son has moved up to Butterflies he's settled in so well thanks to the help and patience of the staff.
My daughter loves her time in nursery. I am always amazed at the things she learns and the variety of activities she takes part in. I have never had reason to question her care or experience at this nursery and am so thankful that she has received such excellent education and attention.
My first son was allergic to tomatoes and my second had a milk intolerance - both were handled seamlessly in this nursery.
When I am in work I miss my boys but it is made so much easier when I can trust where they are and who is looking after them.
We are extremely happy with the service provided by the nursery. Our daughter is happy, confident and excited coming to nursery, which gives us the reassurance we need to know that she is happy when we leave her. The staff are kind, supportive and helpful. We couldn't ask for more from a nursery.
Fantastic nursery. All three of my children come to Acorns and I highly recommend. The staff are lovely and they love the nursery.
Wonderful nursery. Great staff. Would love to come here rather than work.
Lots of activities each week that we copy at home, we'll be sad when she heads off to school.
I feel very lucky to have found such lovely ladies to help care and look after my most prized possessions. What a team! Thank you all ladies,
This is the second nursery my daughter has attended as I was unhappy with the standard of care at her previous nursery.
At Acorns my daughter's day is well structured and well planned/thought out. She experiences a wide range of personalities from the staff and is given a high level of care. The staff never fail to keep me fully informed of every detail of the day and my daughter thrives from the positive and comforting environment created there.
My little one has been going to Acorns for 5 months and is very happy and settled there. The staff ensure that she is settled and communication is always open and each member of staff are approachable.
The activities she participates in are appropriate to her age and ability and I find the staff are engaging and enthusiastic with all aspects of her care. She comes home regularly with artwork and there are parents evenings available to see her progress.
I have never encountered a problem, but when something arises that needs discussion it is done in a personal manner and nothing is ever too much for them, they go above and beyond in their level of care.
I am very happy leaving my little one in their care - it is like leaving with them with family.
My daughter enjoys going to nursery and is happy when I drop her off and pick her up. She talks very highly of staff and comes home with a variety of artwork every week.
This is due to the outstanding dedication and effort put in by all staff at Acorns Duffryn where key workers cater for all needs and expectations. I know my son is in the best hands and I cannot recommend Acorns Duffryn enough.
Acorns Duffryn provide a selection of fresh meals every day and cover a well-balanced diet.
All activities seem suitable for the age and stage of every child. I feel my daughter has come on well in development for her age.
Very friendly and helpful staff. They give feedback about your child's day every day. Lots of different activities during the day and time child spends in different rooms. Also outdoor activities during summer. They do lots of arts and crafts. They also take photos of the child doing the artwork and paste it behind the artwork before sending it home.
She goes full time and does many many more activities than we could do at home.
The sickness policy they have is sensible (with exception of conjunctivitis) and I like that the staff will give medication if needed. Our daughter loves the staff and I feel that they take care of her well. Will give cuddles when needed. Only concern is there seems to be a lot of staff leaving recently.
