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!

Overall Experience

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!

Review from Melanie P (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

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.
