Review from A K (Mother of Child) published on 3 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff are so caring towards my daughter, they spend time with her and are patient with her. She enjoys going to nursery and I know that she is in safe hands.
There are a variety of activities for her to take part in, from painting to reading books. They even plan fun activities like 'Eid party' and 'beach day', where a makeshift beach was set up. My daughter got to splash around in the paddle pool and play in the sand, which she loved.

Thank you to the outstanding team for going above and beyond to ensure my daughter is receiving fun and educational experiences.

My son is still 2 and started nursery early. He started nursery 3-4 months without speaking a word he now says full sentences and even knows some words in sign language. He wakes up in the morning excited to go to school

I have attended the parent's meeting. They told me about my child's activities. What they are doing in the class. She told me that they work with him and she tries to speak to him but he is not responding. I am happy with the teacher. I am completely satisfied with her.

Acorn Grove Nursery is excellent and I feel like all the members of staff are really helping working towards helping my child in every learning aspect, as my child is a bit of a slower learner but is really improving his speech which is wonderful.

I can't thank everyone enough.

It is a good, excellent nursery. They care about the child and the staff are very kind. They have a good space for learning and a good space for playing. It is considered one of the most important centres for me, and I hope to repeat the experience with them for my other child.

Review from N G (Mother of Child) published on 20 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Great place for kids. My daughter has started to develop good communication and learning skills.

At first she was really shy and in her shell. I have seen a lot of differences in her language-speaking abilities, her communication and problem solving skills. She is more active and she is a lot more aware of her surroundings now.

Overall Experience

I have had a pleasant experience with Acorn Grove Nursery. My toddler did take some time to settle here but they have been so patient with him and have made the effort to make sure he is happy and is enjoying himself there. My toddler loves it there now and wants to go more regularly. The staff are so friendly and delightful, always smiling and welcoming and they are willing to help with anything and are approachable. I would highly recommend this nursery to parents in the area.
