My daughter loves it at this nursery we applied for many but most didn't want to deal with her needs but little acorns took her own with no problem cannot fault this nursey or the staff absolutely amazing definitely recommend sending your little one here
She is an absolute pleasure to look after, and watch develop and grow :) thank you for your kind words : )
I can't thank them enough for their time and attention that they have provided, and the support that they have given my son will always be appreciated.
Would wholeheartedly recommend Little Acorns!
Thank you so much for your kind words- He will be very much missed by us all!
when my daughter started little accorns in september 2024, she was about 12-18months behind with her speech. everyone at little accorns helped my daughter massively with her speech and i cant thank you enough for everything you have done for her. when she moved up to hedgehogs, she transitioned really well and loved going to school. even when we drove past in the car she would always say bye bye.
Thank you so much- we will miss her lots and it has been a pleasure to watch her learn and grow over her time with us! We are looking forward to little sister joining us in September : )
Little Acorns have been incredible for my Son, his social skills, his patience, his learning.. embracing his passions. He loves going there and it's going to be a tough good bye in July but we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means the world to us to hear how much you and your child have enjoyed your time at our nursery. We've absolutely loved watching him grow, learn, and blossom during his time with us - He will always be a part of our Little Acorns family. Wishing you all the very best in this next exciting chapter. Please do keep in touch - we'll miss him!
We are so sad to be leaving but having had both my children attend this nursery over the last 4 years I will forever be recommending! Thank you for giving them so much love, care and fun!! X
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback it truly means a lot to us! Weve absolutely loved looking after both of your little ones and watching them grow. Theyve been such a joy to have at the nursery Wishing you all the very best for the future and dont be strangers!
I can't express how wonderful this nursery has been! They have truly gone above and beyond for my child and have been incredibly supportive throughout our journey. The targets set were not only met but exceeded, and the communication and feedback have been absolutely amazing.
Thank you so much for your kind words : ) It has been an absolute pleasure to support, and to continue to support you and your little one.
I feel like the nursery went downhill when the manager left. My children weren't properly looked after and simple basic needs weren't met even after multiple times of asking. Staff were unprofessional and put their opinions rather than professional opinions first.
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review, we take all feedback very seriously, and always try to improve the quality of our provision. Our aim is to provide the best possible care and it is something we take very seriously. We strive to provide an outstanding quality of care and improve...
Both of my children have loved Little Acorns and have progressed so much whilst there. The staff are friendly, caring and great at supporting learning, confidence and independence. How happy the children are to see them at each session speaks volumes and that is a great comfort to any parent, especially with children who haven't always coped well with separation or have additional needs. The feedback at the end of each session is hugely helpful and appreciated and if I ever have a query or concern I can always speak to a member of staff with ease. The monthly round-ups are lovely and informative too, and give us a real insight into how our children are at nursery. We have needed additional support with other healthcare professionals coming into the nursery or asking for reports from the nursery and they have always been very accommodating and supportive of this. They are great with SEN. We are forever grateful to Little Acorns for being so nurturing and inclusive. Sad to be leaving!
Thank you so much for your kind words. Both children have been absolute pleasure to care for.
Both my children have been with little acorns and both have thrived in their care. My youngest is now leaving for school and will miss it greatly. He loves going and talks about his days and what he has done with pride. A lovely nursery with wonderful staff and great communication. Very happy mum that would definitely recommend.
Couldn't have been any more happier in choosing the right nursery for my child. Over a couple of years attending Little Acorns, my child has grown and learnt lots of skills and most of all enjoyed every day spending time with other kids playing, and doing arts and crafts. The staff is very professional, caring, and supportive of any needs. Highly recommended, my child is now prepared to start preschool.
Thank you so much for your kind review. She is been an absolute pleasure to look after, and it has been a privilege to watch her grow.
Thank you so much for everything, we will miss you.
It's comforting to know that when I drop him off, he goes in happily and is well taken care of by such lovely staff. I love receiving updates about his progress and seeing how proud he is of the activities he's done.
I 100% recommend Little Acorns. It's been a pleasure!
Thank you so much for such lovely words, Ruby. It has been an honour to be such a big part of your little man's early years and we wish him all the very best in big school!
I am very glad that I chose this nursery. My daughter kept asking when she would be able to go to her beloved teachers again. Also, my daughter has made really great progress while attending this nursery. The teachers and the environment are wonderful. Sad to leave.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review of our nursery. It really has been a pleasure watching your little lady grow and develop whilst with us and we wish her all the very best for her next adventure.
This is such an outstanding nursery! We are so happy to have our daughter go here every morning, and we know that she is having a wonderful time. The staff are incredible and are great at what they do!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review, it has been such a pleasure watching your little lady grow in confidence and become ready to make her mark at school!
My child has had a brilliant time at this nursery, so much to do and so much fun tells me all about the day they’ve had and about all his friends he’s going to be very sad to leave in September but hopefully, some of his friends will be moving with him, he will also miss the teachers and I just want to say thank you to the teachers who help my son potty train he’s very well mannered because of you too so thank you.
Thank you for such kind words. It has been an absolute pleasure to have your little man with us, he is a real credit to you! We wish him all the very best for his new adventure. we're sure he will be absolutely fine
Such an amazing setting, all three of my children have been here and loved it. Such a warm, friendly place. I feel/felt that my children are well looked after and safe. And always come out with a smile on their face. Would 100% recommend!
Thank you for such a glowing review! It has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of your children's early years adventures.
I really recommend Little Acorns Childcare with all my heart. Everyone is kind. Take care of your little one. My boy grew up very well, he is confident and learned a lot. I will never regret choosing them as a nursery.
Thank you for such kind words. We are blessed with a fabulous team of dedicated staff who truly love what they do. It has been a pleasure to share your son's early years experience.
My daughter joined the nursery September 2022 and she has airways been so shy around other children and new adults. She would get a little unsettled when leaving me but all the staff made her feel so comfortable that now she walks straight in when the doors are opened. She loves going to nursery now and looks forward to it each morning thanks to the friendly and welcoming staff who have made her feel happy to be there. I'm glad I chose to send her to this nursery because they take pride in their jobs and look after the children so well and make sure they have a safe area for them to play and learn in. The staff have great communication and let all the parents know about things happening and give them regular updates on how their child is doing
Thank you so, so much for such a wonderful review of our nursery. It is a pleasure watching your little lady grow in confidence and be a part of her early years' experience.
Great nursery, I was so stressed about leaving my girl as she's very attached to me, but they managed to make her feel safe. Now my little girl loves going in she's so happy and learned a few nursery rhythms already.
Thank you so much for such kind words, it really means a lot to the whole team.
Fast forward 2 months she has improved with her speech, which has resulted in her developing new words and her confidence has blossomed.
I truly believe she has developed this whilst attending Little Acorns.
I want to say a big thank you to all the staff that work there and a big mention to her key worker for the quality 1-1 time you have given my daughter. Thank you.
Thank you so much for such a kind review. I am incredibly proud of the dedication every member of staff has to ensuring the best outcomes for all children.
