Acorn Day Nursery (Westcroft)

My son has been for 4 years, he has had such a great time and has learnt so much. The staff are caring, attentive and keep us fully informed of progress updates via the family app. I would fully recommend this nursery as a place to get your child ready for school and life in general. Keep up the fantastic work.

We have 2children in this setting and continue to be impressed by the variety of resources and activities made available to the children. Management genuinely listen and feedback is taken on board. The staff in this setting appear to really enjoy their work and are energetic, even at the end of a long day.

Sports day was great. Was well organised and staff were great. All the children were well behaved. Great team and kids.

Forest school is a real bonus.

My daughter has been going to the nursery for nearly a year and a half and she absolutely loves it. All the staff are fantastic and very helpful. She has blossomed since starting last year and her English has improved dramatically. I would definitely recommend this nursery to all parents, who would like their children to get their hands on various activities from arts and crafts, reading, outdoor activities to messy play, all the things children love.

Acorn nursery is an all-rounder in all fields. Nursery staff are very humble and helpful. This nursery also organises different events related to children and they try to develop all aspects of the children.

Absolutely the best decision to move my daughter into Acorn from another nursery. She has been there nearly 18 months and in this time she has developed fantastic relationships with the staff and other children. I love the emphasis on outdoor play and other activities that allow her to get out and integrate with the real world. The nursery has really helped to prepare her for school in September. Special mention to all the ladies in her room, they go above and beyond to ensure the children are safe and have an enjoyable time whilst being there.

Since my daughter started at Acorns in January, she has thrived and grown in confidence. Her verbal and interaction skills have come on also due to the teachers taking the time to encourage her. All the carers are lovely and my daughter gets excited every morning. She gets to go to Acorns. Thank you to you all for making it a lovely and safe environment for the children to be.

As grandparents, it was a privilege to be included in our grandson's Christmas activities. We attended the Christmas Fair all the staff were present on a Saturday morning! All so kind and obviously well liked by the children (Well organised too!) We also attended a Christmas Play. The dedication and efforts made by the staff were evident. We felt welcome and very comfortable in such a pleasant atmosphere.

Thank you all for making my baby happy!

The ad-hoc events (Halloween crafts) are great with including my son, even if it's on days he isn't usually enrolled for.

Both Kalla and Tyssen are very happy at nursery and as a parent, I am at ease when I leave them in the capable hands of the staff. The staff are always professional and friendly.

My daughter has been going to Acorn for over a year and a half and the progress of her development is amazing, along with the support of the staff. It so relieving to see her going in so happy and seeing how much she enjoys herself throughout the day with the app.

Lovely staff and great atmosphere! Children are learning lots of new skills through play with lovely natural and versatile equipment. My child seems to enjoy his sessions at nursery and has a connection with the staff.

Very happy with the nursery.

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.
