We have been using Acorn at Westcrtoft for just over five years and have always been happy here. Our two children have enjoyed coming and we have got on well with all members of staff. We will be sad to leave in August.

Extremely happy with the nursery and very friendly staff. Both my boys love coming to the nursery. Never had any problems. Staff are always happy and always smiling. Only thing I would change is to have bigger garden.

Overall Experience
Our experience was amazing since the day he joined til now. All the staff are really encouraging, patient and helpful. I remember him as a shy lad when he joined. He is grown up and more mature now.

Thanks for everything and the care you have taken all these years.

Overall Experience

My son has been coming here for over 3 years and we couldn't be happier with the standard of care. He gets so much from his time at Acorns. The staff all care about the children's development and safety. We will be really sad when he leaves to start school in September.

Overall Experience
My daughter has settled in really well. The baby room staff have made me feel secure and confident about my daughter going to nursery and I appreciate the constant support from them. All the staff are friendly, and you are guaranteed to receive a smile and a warm welcoming when walking through the door.

Well done to all the staff.

Review from Ramya T (Mother of Child) published on 25 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The staff at Acorn Nursery, Westcroft, have been instrumental in the development of my son. When my son joined Acorn in September 2015, he spoke very few words of English, used to never interact with elders at all. But his duration at Westcroft has helped his communication skills, and confidence to interact with adults and mingle with groups without his parents around. He is a lot more confidence and independent.

We give excellent ratings to the staff and nurses at Acorn, Westcroft. Thank you to all.

Overall Experience

My son has learnt a lot at nursery. The care the staff have for my son is excellent. The manager is amazing at running the nursery and I feel it's a very safe environment. The activities they do, my son loves, and comes home talking about everything he does. They have a good variety of food and it has got my son eating more things, also it's very healthy. The pricing is excellent for the care they provide. My son enjoys going to nursery.
