Review from Misbah M (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was initially apprehensive about my son's transition to the nursery, as he struggled to settle in and often seemed upset. However, I am delighted with the progress he has made over time, thanks to the dedicated and caring staff. Their support has turned my initial concerns into genuine satisfaction. The nurturing environment has truly made a positive impact on my son's experience.

Reply from Saara Nadeem, Manager at Acorn Grove Nursery

Thank you for such a lovely review. We are happy that your son is making progress.

Review from Sidra M (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This is such a great nursery.
The staff are amazing. So attentive and empathetic. My child is so happy here and always loves coming to nursery. The staff have ensured he is welcome and feels safe.
The nursery is always trying new activities with the children, constantly exploring with them and teaching them new things.

The nursery has a diverse range of children and they always treat children fairly and with professionalism. I have witnessed this every time I pick up and drop off my child at nursery and for trips.

I am very happy and satisfied with the staff performance which is very friendly and cooperative. My daughter is also very happy and she has lots of fun and activities at the nursery. My previous experience with my elder daughter was very good that's why I choose it again for my little daughter.
