Acorn Day Nursery (Westcroft)

My son settled into the nursery quickly. I know that he is having a lovely time there because he is normally smiling when I pick him up. There are plenty of things they do with him every day. I like that they go out to shops, parks and the library.

Both of my boys have settled into their new rooms really well, lots of updates and always really good feedback of how their days have been, any issues we are either contacted at the time to be made aware or at the end of the day if it isn’t major. Lots of opportunities to speak to the boys' key workers too.

We had a great experience at the nursery. My toddler loves it and the staff are very attentive to their needs and development. Children engage in a lot of different activities. Staff are very patient and caring both with children and parents.

Our 2-year-old daughter has been going here for about 2 months now for full time. The teachers and the staff are amazing. Their communication is fabulous and are always there to help with any questions you may have. I love the safety measures they have in place and feel super safe with my kids being here. They always make us feel welcome at pick up and drop off. We would highly recommend this daycare as a great place.

Our daughter has been attending the nursery for approx 18 months since she was 1 year old. The staff are compassionate when she has found things tricky, guided her through learning new skills and made great bonds with the children. The admin staff are very helpful when we have had questions surrounding funding, payments or scheduling. My daughter has great fun during her nursery days, she eats well each day and her communication has soared during her time there. Would definitely recommend!

Our daughter settled into the nursery quickly and loves it. She enjoys going each day and has made many new friends and often comes home saying the names of staff and lists them amongst her friends at nursery. She enjoys the trips out to the shops, library and park and has started to take part in some forestry activities. The fact our daughter really enjoys it and looks forward to going makes my overall rating excellent.

My child has loved going to nursery and I’ve seen a lot of improvement with his development. The staff at the nursery have been really supportive and make him feel comfortable. The environment is also child friendly which gives me confidence that my child will always be safe.

Would definitely recommend.

I'm extremely pleased with Acorn Day Nursery (Westcroft) Nursery and the staff. From the very first day, my daughter settled in effortlessly. Thanks to the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the friendly staff. The team's dedication in making the kids engaged with various learning and fun-filled activities is really appreciated.

She enjoys spending time at the nursery and the team makes it so easy for parents to be part of it all by organising various events - in February we had stay-and-play sessions where we could just join our kids for some fun time and explore the resources they use every day to play and learn.

Fantastic nursery, very caring staff. My daughter started in January and has settled in really well. They update every bit of information on the app and give daily picture updates too so you are rest assured that your child is happy. Love the fact that they take the babies out to the shops or playground - something I've never come across in other nurseries! She seems to be learning and developing so much since starting. She also seems to be having a wide variety of food and is loving the menu! Would highly recommend.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for a while and I've just registered our second child as well. The staff are just amazing! Always child-centred, responding quickly and so welcoming for children and parents as well. Huge variety of activities for children, excellent care and well-trained staff. Would definitely recommend.

My daughter started at Acorn Nursery in October 2023. Since starting she has thrived and has engaged very well. The staff have been excellent with her, she has additional needs and the nursery has used the resources in order to help with her development. The staff are very supportive and knowledgeable in regard to child development and care. We receive thorough feedback after each session which is very helpful. They all do an amazing job and my daughter really enjoys her time there.

Our son started going to nursery and so far his transition has been good. We have gotten daily updates and can see how he is adjusting to the environment and people. His key person has been very on top of this which alleviates our anxiety. Thank you, Acorn.

The nursery is really good, they are so understanding. Really supportive and overall it’s such a good nursery. My son really enjoys going to nursery, the staff are lovely, they always do such good things with the children for example taking them to the park, the library and to the shops.

Couldn't have asked for a more loving, nurturing environment for my son. He loves going to nursery and I feel comfortable knowing that he is well looked after when he's there. The staff are professional, the facilities are excellent and there is plenty of variety in the food that the children are given.

We love Acorn Nursery at Westcroft. Our son has been attending for 1.5 years and has really flourished in the nursery setting. The staff are brilliant and clearly care for the children and their development. The children are often taken out of the nursery into the local area which is brilliant. We would absolutely recommend Acorn Nursery.

My child has been going here for a year and had a hard time settling in, so the staff supported him gently easing in. I’m grateful that they had the experience and patience to handle this while also reassuring us as parents. Once settled in he started learning and engaging with us a lot more. They also regularly check in to know his interests to learn how to engage with him at nursery. More recently he has shown a lot of enthusiasm to go back to nursery after weekends/breaks, and it shows how comfortable they have made him feel there. They also supported potty training and were very encouraging of his efforts. All in all great care, thought and effort is put in by all the staff and we’re very happy with Acorn at Westcroft.

We've had a very good experience with Acorns. My son moved from the baby room to Squirrels in October last year. The team supported the transition very well. We get regular updates about my son which is great. The team has been excellent in supporting other aspects like potty training, learning, communication etc. Children get a lot of variation in food and snacks. I'd highly recommend the nursery for other children.

The Acorn Nursery is the best in terms of staff who take care of our child. They are very friendly and make an effort to know the parents to make taking care of kids more intuitive. My 2-year-old is completely at ease when he comes into the nursery as the staff more than compensate for our absence during the day.
