Such a wonderful review! Thank you so much for taking the time to write it.
Acorns ONS have given our son a fantastic start and he is extremely happy there. The care and attention given to him has been exceptional and it shows in both his development and how happy he is there.
The nursery is extremely well run and we have complete confidence in their systems and the care that they give.
The staff are nothing short of magnificent and they clearly care very much for the children they look after. They constantly go above and beyond and they are always extremely thorough with their handovers.
I can't speak highly enough about the quality of the nursery and I am very happy that we have trusted them with the care of our son. And so is he!!

The staff are amazing, they can't do enough to help me or the children, the activities they do, the support they get and their attention to detail are above and beyond what I could have expected.
The nursery is always clean, tidy and kept in great condition. Meal time is always fun to the children and they eat really well.
I can't thank the team enough for their ongoing support and help!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review. It means so much to the team.
Acorns Nursery (ONS) is a home-from-home. Caring, kind and loving. It's a lovely feeling knowing how well your child is being cared for when you have to go off to work. We used Acorns for our 1st child, and it wasn't even a question where to send our second.
Thank you so much for such a positive review, the staff really appreciate it.
Our son has settled in well at Acorns ONS and loves going to nursery. Staff are attentive and provide detailed info both throughout the day via the app and verbally upon pick up, providing a personal touch that is very appreciated. My sons happiness tells me all I need to know - ONS Acorns is a great nursery :)
Both of my children have thrived here. I wouldn't have sent them anywhere else!
The Acorns ONS nursery facility is impeccable in every aspect. The team are extremely friendly and professional, constantly striving to provide a wide variety of activities for all ages. Safeguarding and cleanliness are top priorities and this is clear to see from the moment you set foot through the door. It is a place where your child will thrive and flourish, offering an environment that fosters learning, encourages development and exudes happiness.
We've always been very impressed by the care and attention given by all staff. All staff know all children not just their key workers. There's good support and building relationships for transitions to new classes. Wide range of activities for all age groups. Excellent communication with parents. Our child has never turned down a meal.
Very professional too. Our daughter is very happy there.
I’d highly recommend Acorns ONS to any parent I know.
Fantastic nursery and great communication and my daughter loves it there. The app is brilliant, having visibility and updates throughout the day is fantastic and puts me at ease every day. Staff are always pleasant and there to help when needed.
Such an amazing nursery my child has thrived so much and come on leaps and bounds. All the staff from management all the way down to her key workers are super supportive and work so hard. The setting itself is very stimulating with so many different activities that help meet every child's development according to their age and stage of development. I am so happy I chose Acorns ONS for my little one. She has made so many friends and is always learning new things. I would recommend Acorns ONS to everyone they are all simply amazing.
My daughter has really flourished since starting at Acorns ONS. She has made so many friends and has become very sociable. She will always talk about her day when she comes back from nursery and it's so reassuring. The staff are so friendly and are always happy to help. I would definitely recommend this nursery as it is simply the best.
I will highly recommend it.
The staff were very supportive and got to know the children in their care.
If Acorns ran schools, we'd have applied!
The team at Acorns ONS are fantastic, from day one I just got that warm feeling. My little boy runs in and doesn't look back and is always happy at pick up, having had a great day. The team focus on learning through play, great nutrition and plenty of outdoor play. He started in the baby room and has progressed from there. Regular reports, parents evenings and family focused open days from Grandparents day to and I have seen the graduation event!
We did start at another nursery in a totally different area but loved ONS so much whilst waiting for availability we moved him full time to ONS. He's so settled.
Highly recommended.
The nursery is bright, spacious and clean. The rooms are really lovely and full of interest for little ones with plenty of toys and different spaces for them to explore. There is also a lovely outside area and the children seemed to have plenty of opportunities to do crafts. The menu is amazing and my son loved the food, the dining area is really well set up with little tables and chairs for the babies and toddlers rather than traditional high chairs. The staff were fantastic, particularly my son's key worker. Everyone was so warm and welcoming and we got really detailed feedback at the end of the day.
Good, could upload more photos of the kids on the app.
I would definitely recommend Acorns to family and friends. We will miss all the staff and her classmates now she is leaving for school.
