Acorn Day Nursery (Stanwick)

My child was welcomed from the very beginning. I have always felt relaxed and comfortable that my child is exposed to activities and people assisting in the development all round as a whole. One of the reasons I wanted my child to attend Acorn was because of their outdoor activity options, with walks to the local allotment, the garden onsite and the forest school.

Our son has been attending Acorn Day Nursery, Stanwick since he was 7 months old and has loved being there from day one. The manager and her team provide excellent care and are extremely supportive. The facilities are brilliant, especially the outside space and access to forest school. We couldn't be more delighted with the experience we've had so far.

Our little boy started Acorn Stanwick nursery in September 2021. He was a very shy and not confident boy. And here comes his last day at nursery before he starts school. Amazing transformation, thanks to all the staff he has grown so much, full of confidence and 100% ready for school. Highest recommendation from our family. Nursery and its environment is great, staff are great and very caring, forest school is amazing. Only good things!

Both my children started nursery before they were 1. They seem to really enjoy going and I very rarely have any concerns about their well-being. They always come home happy and tired out. We often notice new skills in our children and realise that this is something we can thank the nursery for teaching them.

Acorns have been looking after my son for the past six months. I’ve always found the staff welcoming, well-informed and helpful. The environment is well equipped for supporting the early development of key skills.

I am delighted with how well my son has settled into the nursery, leaving us happy to leave him in their care. He is happy to go to the staff every day and they all seem genuinely pleased to have him. The staff have also been particularly supportive of his feeding issues and have worked closely with us around this. I have also appreciated their flexibility around my work.

Pre covid it was always lovely to be invited in for activities/events and to join the children at a forest school session.

Acorn nursery have been incredibly welcoming and accommodating since my son started with them last summer. From the admin team to the chefs and on the ground staff, everyone shows real care and enthusiasm for their job. My son’s key worker is brilliant and has been incredibly supportive of him during his time there. I also know that he is in safe hands when she is not there as the other team members know him well and are regularly involved in his care. How they have coped during the pandemic has been admirable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.

Also the detailed information and photos the staff put on the app, mean you can enjoy a bit of what the kids have been up to as well. I would recommend Acorn Day Nursery to anyone.

We couldn’t be happier with how Acorn have nurtured both our daughter and son. The outdoor provisions, combined with the creative indoor learning activities are thoroughly engaging, educational and lots of fun for any child. Our little ones have enjoyed every day of their time there, feeling safe and happy. Our youngest gets separation anxiety whenever we have to leave him somewhere but Acorn deal with this sensitively and it takes no time at all for our little one to become immersed in his day there. It speaks volumes that both of our children have always returned home from Acorn with massive smiles on their faces and stories to tell. I would 100 percent recommend the nursery.

I am very happy with the staff in my son's room. They are always friendly, approachable and have the time for you. The management/admin team are always quick to respond to any questions I have and are always willing to accommodate. I will miss the nursery and staff when my son starts school in September. Thank you!

My experience of the nursery has been a fantastic one. When our son began there in the Squirrels at age 3-years he wasn’t able to talk much but fast forward to now being an Oak, he never stops talking and is very expressive. He learns so much there and is doing very well. The staff are absolutely fabulous and have worked wonders with him, he thoroughly enjoys his days there which is comforting to us as parents, we are very grateful for all that they do.

The staff at the nursery are brilliant and go out of their way to help my child feel happy and safe. I'm so pleased I choose this nursery for my child and would definitely use it again.

My son loves going to this nursery, they have lots of activities, including forest school and playing in the garden. The kids learn through play without knowing it. They have a good individual approach with the children, tailoring the activity to the child's ability. Experienced staff make a big difference. My son also loves the food and sitting down together to eat it.

My children love going to Acorn Day Nursery (Stanwick). They have a brilliant bond with both the other children and the staff. As parents, we love the activities that the children get involved in, especially forest school as we think it is incredibly important for children to learn and be in the great outdoors. The staff are always quick to respond to messages, incredibly flexible and create a great environment for the kids. Thank you all at Acorn Day Nursery (Stanwick).

Our little boy has been at Acorn Day Nursery (Stanwick) since he was 10-months old, he is now 4-years-old and will be going to primary school in September. We have never had any issues with the staff and any concerns we had about situations amongst the children were sorted promptly. Our little boy has always been very happy to go to nursery and has always been excited to tell us about his trips to forest school, the park and the allotment. His teachers support him well and have built lovely bonds with him. They keep us well-informed about activities he has done during the day and they encourage him to try new things. His learning and development have been supported well and he has absolutely thrived in Acorn Day Nursery (Stanwick).

My son has loved all the outdoor activities they do, he’s always busy doing something outside and there is lots of learning through play, both indoors and outdoors. The staff are understanding and supportive in managing behaviour and accept each child for who they are without judgement. Lots of singing and reading stories as well.

The staff at Acorn Day Nursery (Stanwick) are great and are very enthusiastic about getting the children to engage in a wide range of activities. They are easy to talk to if you have any concerns and inform you about your child’s progress.

The staff have been amazing with my daughter, as a Covid-19 baby l was worried about how she would be but they have been soo good with her. She has come a long way with her language skills and she absolutely loves going there.

My daughter loves attending Acorns! She is reluctant to leave me but she always has an amazing time and she’s in such a happy excited mood when I collect her. They definitely help her with her confidence and many aspects of her development.
