Review from Lindsay W (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Acorns Parc Nantgarw for over 3 years now. So many people comment on how confident and ahead of her years that she is and that has a lot to do with the care/learning provided at Acorns. The quality of the building/activities and outside space means they can experience more than other nurseries can offer. The staff are amazing and it's a comfort to know lots of the staff are long-standing members. I recommend Acorns Parc Nantgarw to anyone. It's really 5 stars!

Overall Experience
Our child attends 4 out of 5 days, and every single day, the attention to details, high standards, efficiency and friendliness does not waver. They always know when our child is due back. Regular feedback and updates are explanatory and regular. We enjoy the service we get and feel our child benefits greatly from the fantastic team.

Cannot fault them in any area. Brilliant.

Review from Jess M (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I honestly couldn't ask for a more wonderful nursery for my son. The staff at Acorns are so kind, caring and genuinely dedicated - nothing is ever too much trouble for them. It's clear they take real pride in looking after the children, and that care shows every single day.

It can be so hard to find a nursery that understands the challenges of shift work, so discovering Acorns has been amazing. They've been so flexible and supportive, which has made a huge difference to our family. From day one, my son has absolutely loved it - he's thriving, always learning new things, and getting so many opportunities that I simply wouldn't have the time to provide at home.

Helen and Kasuni are both standouts. They regularly care for Oliver and always go the extra mile. Helen, in particular, always makes the effort to chat with me about his day, which I truly appreciate.

I'm so grateful to have found such a clean, welcoming, and genuinely friendly environment where my child is cared for and happy!

Review from Amy D (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has been at this nursery since around 14 months old and he's now 3. We are so very happy with the care he receives here! All staff are warm, compassionate and attentive. My son talks about lots of them so positively when at home. My child is supported to engage in lots of fun, imaginative and educational activities. They've really supported his development in all areas. Staff and manager and very supportive if we have any concerns (not that there have been any with anything to do with the nursery!), they always communicate with us well and welcome our thoughts. I love the app - they keep us informed at key points in the day which is very important to me. I really can't speak more highly of them and the care they provide.

Thanks to you all, you work so incredibly hard and it makes such a difference to my son and us.

Great nursery!

We've been to a few before using Acorns Nantgarw and we couldn't be happier we moved our boy to this amazing nursery, we know he's being looked after by the a very professional and well trained staff.

I moved my son here from another nursery and the service has been nothing short of exceptional. I didn't realise how much my son was missing out on until he came here! My family and I always comment on how lovely the staff are and they have gone above and beyond with supporting us through a personal situation. Not that it's anytime soon but when the time comes we will be very sad to leave. I would recommend Nantgarw nursery to anyone in a heartbeat - thank you all so much

My son has been going to Acorns Parc Nantgarw for three years and has loved it from day one. The staff are fantastic, facilities are great and he is always learning and developing through the play and activities on a daily basis. We feel lucky to have found a nursery he looks forward to going to and we are very comfortable leaving him. Thank you!

Amazing nursery! Our daughter loves it there and is coming on leaps and bounds developmentally. They have good procedures in place that gives us every confidence that our daughter is being looked after with the most dedicated care we could ask for. The staff are all amazing and keep us up to date on everything, nothing is too much trouble. We couldn't ask for anything better.

Overall Experience

Our son has been in Acorns Nantgarw for the last few years now, and there are not enough adjectives to describe how wonderful it is. The atmosphere is welcoming, homely, clean and cosy, and staff strike an exceptional balance between warmth and professionalism. The effort they go to for our children is above and beyond. Our son has strong attachments to the staff and he is confident, comfortable and happy in the environment, and we truly believe it has been instrumental in his personal, educational and character development.

Acorns is an excellent nursery where my daughter feels Safe, confident and cared for. They provide a warm environment with structure and freedom with support. My daughter is excited to attend acorns every day and the activities she participates in daily are wonderful. They explore and problem solve whilst developing curiosity and imagination.

A fantastic nursery

Review from Katherine L (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Acorns Nantgraw is one of the best nurseries out there. The way the staff not only care for the kids but the parents is second to none. The activities they do with the children are great and my son is always coming home telling me stories of the days events, with a massive smile on his face. The staff all know the children so well and my son has formed lovely caring relations with them. There is such a lovely warm and homey clean environment and I never worry when my son is under their care. The line of communication between the care staff and parents is brilliant. My experience has been brilliant there is not one negative thing I can say apart from I wish they did childcare up to 16 years old!

Overall Experience
Acorns Nantgarw is home from home for our little one , Seren.
Our daughter has been in their care since she was 13 months old. I cannot speak highly enough about their services.
They are warm, caring and professional.
From management to the individual carers, great team of people and they take their job seriously.

What mattered most for me the warmth of carers especially when our daughter was smaller. It is heartbreaking enough to leave them all day to start with, but knowing they are in good hands really helps.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Acorns Nantgarw and he absolutely loves it. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely care about the children. He's always excited to go in and comes home happy, confident, and full of stories about his day.

The environment feels safe, welcoming, and nurturing, and it's clear how much effort the team puts into helping each child grow and feel supported. As a parent, it's such a comfort knowing he's somewhere he feels settled and valued. I couldn't be happier with our experience at Acorns Nantgarw and would highly recommend it to other families.

Our daughter loves going to Acorns Nantgarw. She is welcomed with so much kindness and spends her days enjoying lots of creative activities and play. The nursery nurses have really taken the time to get to know our little girl, and we feel completely at ease knowing how well cared for she is. She always comes home very happy.
The staff communicate brilliantly with us as parents, and nothing is ever too much trouble. We love receiving updates and photos throughout the day too.

Thank you all for the love and kindness you show.

Review from Katie N (Mother of Child) published on 4 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All of the staff at Acorns Parc Nantgarw are absolutely wonderful. Both of my children have been so well cared for, supported, and genuinely loved during their time there. The development we've seen in them is a true reflection of the dedication and kindness of the team.

The staff have become part of our extended family, and we have complete trust that every child is given the very best start in life in their care. As we come to the end of our time at Acorns later this year, we're truly dreading it - it will be a very sad day saying goodbye to all of the angels who work there!

I honestly couldn't recommend them more.

Overall Experience
We are so happy with this nursery. The building is lovely, clean and bright with lots of natural light, and the garden space is huge, my toddler loves garden play. They even provide wet weather suits!
The staff are really friendly and you can tell they genuinely care about the children and know them well.
The food is freshly cooked, which has been a big plus for us because of allergies. The chef is very knowledgeable and reassuring, which made us feel really confident.
Most importantly, the children are happy, settled, and always busy with loads of fun activities.
The nursery provides so much (nappies, sun cream and so on) which is a big help when I'm in a rush to get out of the door in the mornings!

Highly recommend this nursery.

Review from Stephanie H (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The most beautiful nursery. My little boy has been here for 2 years now. And the team have helped him grow within his milestones by a mile ! Every week he has learnt something new. The team are so gentle and patient and most importantly soft and kind. Even with myself they always make time to speak to me at the end of the day to tell me about his day. And they are always so friendly to even share experiences as parents. (Being a first time mum myself) the managers are just fantastic. The nursery is so safe, secure, warm, colourful. I get regular updates of events and even traffic information they go above and beyond. I am forever grateful that I put my trust in acorns looking after my little boy and I thank every single one of you.
