Acorn Day Nursery (Westcroft)

My son has been going to that nursery for a year and 3 months and now that he is in the Squirrels room, I have the feeling he really likes it and enjoys his days. The staff is making a real effort in creating play opportunities and encouraging the kids to try out new things (which was the same in Acorns room). I really appreciate the day summaries and pictures that are now implemented through the app.

However, I would wish a bit more care is taken to change my son's dribble bib which is often soaked when I pick him up despite me providing plenty of spares. Also, I would like to see the Acorns room shoe - free and carpeted as it is rough on non-walkers when lots of little shoes are trampling their fingers.

Thirdly and most importantly, I would like to see a better system in place that enables me to book extra sessions, especially during school holidays. I am feeling as if it is an inconvenience to arrange, so there should be clear rules on whether or not it is possible and how to book it.

Very nice and clean atmosphere. All the staff are super friendly and professional. My daughter loves to go to nursery and she learnt and developed a lot. I highly recommend.

Both my kids have been here and had good support from all the staff. No complaints. Recommend quite a few friends to this nursery.

My daughter has been at Acorn Westcroft since July 2015 and her last day was 30/08/18. We LOVE this nursery, the staff have always been so lovely to my daughter and have helped and encouraged her so much over her time with you. Since the new manager has come on board I’ve noticed some fabulous changes, most importantly for me the daily updates I got on what the room had been up to and the pictures of my daughter enjoying her day. This nursery was already a fabulous place and we’ve always recommended it and will continue to do so. I feel since the new management appointment that Acorn will go from strength to strength and be outstanding. Thank you for everything that you have done for my daughter, we will always be indebted to the fantastic staff!

The recent changes to the outside space of Acorns have been very positive and the children always look like they are enjoying themselves. I hope the indoor space will also see further improvement, in particular, I would like to see more colour and new toys as some are looking a little tired/well used.

Excellent environment with fantastic staff. My 'little one' really settled well and is comfortable with the environment.

Activities are versatile and vast for the development of children.

Able to accommodate diet requirements.

We like the nursery. Food quality is very good.

My daughter really enjoys her time at the nursery. She's made friends well and is always happy when she is there. The staff are all very friendly and as my son when to the same nursery, I had no hesitation in sending my daughter as well. There are many toys to play with to keep her occupied and the food is very healthy with lots of variety.

Acorn is an amazing nursery. Lovely staff and lots of fun activities planned for the children throughout the week.

My child is full-time and loves every day of nursery. Forest school is a great activity and breaks her time up really well. I feel lucky to have chosen a nursery with forest school. She has never had a boring day. Her confidence and language have developed so well under the care of the Acorn team. Thank you for looking after her so well. She's excited for school.

Overall good experience. My children always seem happy. Have made good relationships with the staff. Plenty of activities going on.

Fantastic place for my little one to learn and develop. Staff are very helpful and the feedback we receive is outstanding. Our daughter loves coming to nursery so much, sometimes, she doesn't want to leave.

This is a very pleasant nursery with very friendly staff. Staff offer information upon collection about my daughter and her day, which is nice to hear. My daughter enjoys going there and she loves her teachers in her room. They make her feel happy and welcome. She always tells us about her day and what fun she’s had.

The nursery itself is laid out well, making good use of the space they have and all the children always look happy when we drop off my granddaughter.

My daughter started nursery in January 2018 and the friendly and welcoming nature of this nursery made this transition very easy. The staff are all so friendly and warm, my daughter does have her favourites but she speaks fondly of everyone she's encountered there. The admin lady is very knowledgeable and friendly, and happy to assist with any queries. My daughter is always bringing artwork home, and I can tell she's learning new skills from her pictures. I would recommend this nursery to anyone as I can't fault it.

Good caring staff. My child really enjoys going to nursery. They have learnt to be independent.

Excellent, no issues. My son loves it here. Staff are brilliant and polite. My son loves it, his social skills, language and behaviour is brilliant.

We always find Acorns a real pleasure and our child loves his time here.

Fantastic family atmosphere, staff are friendly and helpful. My son has settled in really well.

I'm very satisfied.
