Great experience, loved to be with my daughter and to experience the walk she loves. Thank you for organising.
I really believe that this is the next nursery in Milton Keynes.
Acorn have been incredible with the development of our little girl. She is excited to arrive each morning and reluctant to leave in the evenings
We have had children at Acorns Day Nursery (Westcroft) for five years and can honestly say we wouldn't even consider looking elsewhere. It's only a shame to have to leave at school age!
My experience was brilliant as you could see how much the children loved what they did. The staff are very helpful and caring. Each staff member would go the extra mile to make sure the children are happy.
The staff and level of detail and attention to our little one's development has far exceeded our expectations. Daily information about her day is brilliant and the photos are a great touch, we love it! And so does our little one!
I'm really pleased with how the staff takes care of my daughter. Highly recommended for any parents who are planning to send their daughter/son to this nursery.
Our little boy comes home covered in colours and a variety of paints, flour and other messy play and he loves it! He gets excited from the moment we pull into the car park. The staff are all lovely and it's great to feel we leave our son somewhere safe and fun!
Can only say really positive things. Great facilities, really friendly and approachable staff and wide range of food provided. Always feel like the children are safe and well entertained and looked after!
Acorn at Westcroft have gone above and beyond for my daughter, her transition was made with care and love. I couldn't have asked for more. My older 2 children attended here and I would never use any other nursery. Amazing staff and the manager is fantastic to both children and parents. Highly recommend.
My daughter has been so happy at Acorn and it is so lovely to see her excited to go each day. The activities and experiences are varied and engaging and I love seeing what she gets up to on the app. All the staff are warm and caring and I feel very safe knowing she's well looked after.
I am only able to put my daughter in one day a week and although we have all had settling concerns, the staff in Squirrels have been amazing and made my daughter feel at home and have been there to comfort her when needed.
Acorn (Westcroft) is a great nursery and I would recommend to anyone. The app is one of the best I've seen. My child is very happy here.
The nursery is always very accomodating. The staff are kind and experienced. I would always recommend this nursery to others as both my children have been very happy here.
Acorn Westcroft has always been an incredible nursery for our oldest son to attend. Now our youngest has joined in the Acorns room and is settling in and loving it. Thank you for your dedication to care.
Westcroft nursery has provided our little one excellent care throughout the year. He learned so much and became a confident boy that looks forward to school year.
Wonderful staff. I cannot speak highly enough of the whole team. As a family, we've received great support when needed and have watched our child thrive in each room. We will be sad to leave - genuinely.
So, so pleased we chose this nursery. The staff are wonderful and fully approachable. The setting and encouragement of outdoor play is just what I was looking for. My daughter gets so excited for nursery now!
I am very happy with the nursery setting and the staff. My daughter is learning and developing so well and we are extremely happy to see her doing so great in the nursery.
My child always comes home very happy and full of stories of all the things they have been doing. He learns new things every day with the support of staff and is enjoying making lots of friends.
