I am happy with this nursery and service they provide. Ladies are lovely and very caring. My boy is really enjoying spending 5 days a week in this nursery. Communication is up to a standard. I am always being informed about every change or accidents asap. I would highly recommend this day nursery.

Review from Diane W (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We are really happy with the excellent standard of care provided by Acorns ONS. All the staff are very professional, caring and friendly and our son enjoys a wide and interesting range of activities and crafts each day. The menus provided are nutritious and well-balanced. We get detailed reports on our son's progress, behaviour and daily routine. We particularly like the outdoor activities and small trips provided to vary our son's routine. I would highly recommend Acorns and we feel very confident about the standard of care provided for our child.

Overall Experience

My son attended the nursery and I have been extremely pleased with the care and activities undertaken at the nursery. The staff were welcoming and attentive. My son found the activities very engaging - especially the Forest School activities. He enjoyed the home cooked food. Overall a very engaging setting and I would not hesitate to recommend to my colleagues.

Review from Sam (Mother of Child) published on 11 November 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have used this nursery for both my daughters. The level of care is outstanding. The greeting each morning is cheerful and welcoming. The activities are varied and thoroughly enjoyed. The facilities close to the nursery are used to full advantage e.g. National Trust stately homes and grounds. My eldest daughter who left several years ago is always greeted when she goes into nursery to pick up her sister. All the key workers really get to know their children and it reflects in how the children develop.
