All the staff have been so helpful and caring. My son has loved attending Acorn Day Nursery (Stanwick). He has loved the Forest School and all the activities.
Lovely staff. Helpful, caring.
We have been delighted with our daughter's development over this last year and is definitely ready for school. The staff have supported and challenged her to become confident. The environment is fun and stimulating. Particularly pleased that she has the opportunity to go to Forest School.
Very good. Friendly and understanding.
Our son has been here for just over 3 years and he loves it. We've never had any issues along the way and his keyworker over the last year has been fantastic with him, particularly managing his emotions. We would highly recommend this nursery for any child.
Excellent nursery. The staff have always got time to talk. The children always seem happy and my daughter seems to do a real range of activities. She has had so many lovely experiences at the nursery and developed many skills and learnt lots of new ones.
Staff friendly and informative, approachable.
Great nursery. Great staff, always happy and encouraging with both children and parents.
The staff, whilst they do change, have all been wonderfully supportive and work with the children who require additional activities to meet their needs when they are above their age level!
Very informative about how my child is developing.
Acorn is a fantastic nursery with a really homely feel. The children are well cared for by very loving staff who know the children very well. They develop well and have so much fun.
The facilities for the babies are plentiful and diverse allowing for interaction with many different stimuli. The key worker and staff are friendly and informative. The variety of indoor and outdoor activities give a variety for the babies.
The staff have been truly amazing and supporting in every way and my child has really come on.
It is mine and my husband's belief that this is down to the wonderful care he has had at Acorns by all staff.
Wonderful, one happy mummy.
My son started back at nursery after the Christmas holidays and has enjoyed numerous trips to Stanwick Lakes, lots of pre-school preparation, such as collecting items with the 'weekly letter' and going on walks and spotting numbers. The nursery really seems to be encouraging my son to learn in preparation for school in September and are doing it in a fun way that helps him want to learn. All the staff are extremely welcoming every morning and always tell me about his day and something 'positive' that he's done when I collect him.
My little girl loves going to nursery at Acorn (Stanwick). The staff are lovely and always give plenty of feedback about the day. The outdoor spaces are amazing, my daughter particularly enjoys Forest School as she loves the mud and crafting they do as well as the meals they cook over the open fire.
My child started the nursery in April. Both myself and my husband were really apprehensive about leaving our child with strangers (non- family members). The nursery offer 4 settling in sessions where we could stay with him. All the staff were really reassuring and supportive to the family and gave regular updates on how he was, including pictures. The staff didn't make us feel silly, they were really understanding. My child now looks froward to going and runs straight to his key worker with a big smile.
Really happy with the nursery, the care and attention that has been given to my daughter has been fantastic, will highly recommend.
Caring, learning environment, recommended.
The staff are all lovely and my son is so happy when he arrives to play.
Both my children have attended this nursery since the age of 2. I have always been very impressed by the care given by the girls. The staff have always been excellent at keeping us informed about our child's progress and health. I would be happy to recommend them to anyone.
