Acorn’s nursery in the lovely village of Stanwick offers a homely atmosphere in which children can relax and have fun whilst learning and socialising with their peers.
The nursery has a team of qualified, experienced and dedicated staff, including an early years teacher, and they provide the best possible care for children in a happy and secure environment. Staff are dedicated to providing high quality care and education for children aged four months to four years, working in partnership with parents to help children learn and develop.
Children have use of two main group rooms, a ‘secret garden’, and a large Forest School area a short walk from the main nursery. All the nursery meals are freshly prepared in the kitchen by the nursery cook who provides nutritionally balanced meals which are both healthy and appetising.
Children have use of two large outdoor spaces, one being a private garden at the back of the nursery, which offers a woodland area, space for children to be active and a stream. Acorn also have their own forest school field a few minutes’ walk away for children to explore and discover the environment through a range of activities, including the opportunity to learn how to use tools safely and learn about fire with their in-house forest school leader.
The team strive to make the nursery a place where positive and close relationships with children and parents are welcomed and valued. They believe it is important to create a home from home experience where children feel happy, safe and secure, and as a result, thrive within their nursery.
Acorn Day Nursery (Stanwick) has a Review Score of 9.9 (9.939) out of 10, based on 29 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time Acorn Day Nursery (Stanwick) has 111 reviews.

Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience
My daughter has enjoyed coming to Acorn nursery since she was 11 months old, she is now 4 years old. Her confidence has grown hugely over her time and she benefited from the social interaction with the staff and other children. The outdoor areas of the nursery are very good.

Friendly staff, great care for the children. They are always taking the children out for trips to the park so they get lots of time outside.
