For many years, families have chosen Partou Acorns on Otley Road in Adel because they know their children will be happy, cared for and supported to flourish. Children grow in confidence, develop a love of learning, and leave the nursery well prepared for the next stage of their educational journey. Ofsted rated the nursery Outstanding in September 2025, noting that children are very happy in a stimulating and inspiring environment.
Every child has a dedicated key person who builds the warm, consistent relationship that helps them feel secure enough to grow. The baby room has free-flow garden access, so children move between indoor and outdoor play as naturally as they would at home.
The nursery team is experienced and long-standing, with many team members having been with the nursery for years, some for over two decades. Partou invest in the nursery team, supporting team members through qualifications into leadership roles. Familiar faces mean a lot when you are leaving someone you love in someone else's care.
The curriculum is ambitious and genuinely child-led. The Pre-school committee chooses the weekly themes that guide activities, with team members adapting as curiosity takes hold.
Outdoor learning runs through everything the nursery does, from secure gardens with mud kitchens and bikes to a woodland area at the rear of the nursery. Beyond the grounds, children visit a local care home, donkey sanctuary, Golden Acre Park, and local shops and cafes, building confidence through rich real-world early years experiences.
Mealtimes are freshly cooked, varied, and eaten together with team members, with children serving themselves and pouring their own drinks. Families stay closely involved through the nursery app, termly parents evenings, and stay-and-play sessions throughout the year.

My baby boy started here last month and the staff have been absolutely fantastic with both him and myself. Not only has he been so well looked after, but loved too, which is lovely to see. The quality of care and time spent with him is amazing, he has settled in really well and has learnt so many new things already. He is the happiest boy when he's there and all the staff have taken care of him so well - with a special thank you to Jess, Cian and Charley. I would also like to say thank you to the management team Emma and Cassie, for creating such a lovely environment, that helped make the transition of my baby starting nursery so much easier and as a parent it is reassuring to know he is being cared for so well.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased to hear that your little boy has settled in so well and that the care and support from Jess, Cian, Charley, Emma and Cassie helped make this important transition a positive one for both of you. We look forward to watching him continue to grow, learn and enjoy many happy experiences at nursery.

I have been so impressed by Partou Acorn Nursery. Leaving your little one for the first time is incredibly daunting but even more scary when they have a long list of serious allergies. The staff at this nursery have been beyond careful, competent and accommodating, making sure my little one is safe and well looked after while they are there. They have gone above and beyond to make sure the premises are clean and that the food is suitable for my little one. I feel so reassured sending them there. In addition to this, I feel like they are really well looked after and given engaging things to do for their age, they are encouraged to play with others and I can see the care and consideration from all staff especially their key worker. My little one's key worker has been amazing at making sure my little one is safe and well looked after and management have been really accommodating and reassuring too. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough to anyone who is considering it.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're so pleased to hear that the team has helped you feel reassured during such an important transition, particularly with allergies, and that you feel confident in the care and attention they receive each day. We will be sure to pass on your kind words to...

Acorns is an absolutely fabulous Nursery- i'm SO glad we chose this one. My daughter has been there since she was just over a year old and i couldn't imagine her anywhere else.

This is a fantastic nursery who centre care around the child and what is best for that individual child. My daughter joined Acorns in Adel in March. We'd been working with a sleep consultant because my daughter's sleep was absolutely minimal and we were at breaking point. I was very worried about the routine being abandoned when she went to nursery, but Acorns have upheld the routine as best they possibly can, despite the fact it doesn't always fit into the timings of the day at the nursery. They have been brilliant and very empathetic with my daughter and her need for the routine. I am very impressed by the attention to detail in their care of her. We get regular photos and updates, and I feel totally at peace in the day knowing she's there, and that she's receiving the highest-quality of care. I would recommend this nursery to anyone in or around the area.

We would highly recommend Acorns to anyone looking for childcare in the Adel area.
Overall, communication is fabulous and we recieve more detail than some of our friends do from other nurseries, via the app throughout the day.Amongst the day to day care being great, the activities every day are so varied and now that the weather is warm the toddlers get the opportunity to spend loads of time outside, which our child loves.
There was one occasion when our child became very poorly at nursery, and it was handled so calmly and confidently by the nursery team. I think I would have been having a complete meltdown if they hadn't been there to reassure and support me by keeping things so calm and child focused.
We look forward to another fun few years here before our little one leaves for school!
Thank you for your glowing review! We're so glad to hear that our focus on communication and providing a variety of activities is making a positive impact on your child's care. It's our pleasure to support and reassure you during any difficult times. We love being a part of your child's journey and look forward to many more years of fun together!
We absolutely love Acorns in Adel. It truly feels like a home from home - such a warm, caring and supportive environment.

The activities they provide daily are fantastic and engaging. Both my children loved all the delicious meals cooked for them and always ate well.

A fabulous setting! My girls are so settled and happy. I love the indoor and outdoor options to entertain them. The focused activities (e.g. penguins this week) are amazing, always something creative and educational. Food - I'm jealous! They have such a varied diet and no issue with (lots of!) allergies. Overall, out of 3 nurseries I've had across my 3 girls, this is the best yet. I'm very happy!

As my child attends Acorns for the last day, I wanted to ensure I left a FIVE STAR review for the fantastic team. He has attended for 2.5 years and I've nothing but praise for the nursery. When you take that huge step to leave your baby for the first time, the babies room is the perfect place. The room is wonderfully welcoming with plenty of space, together with a well used outdoor area (something I really loved). Tweenies has a great flow from indoor to outdoor, with a fantastic variety of toys. Its also clear a lot of thought goes into the activities in both rooms. Its the staff that really make Acorns! Everyone has been so kind and caring, I've always felt my son was in excellent hands. The manager is wonderful, professional, approachable, and has a big heart, the children clearly adore her. My son has struggled with drop off, and she has been there (along with many others) to reassure him (and me). I can't thank you all enough and we are ever so sad to say goodbye x
Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot to us! We are so happy to hear that your child enjoyed their time at Acorns and felt safe and loved in our care. Our team truly values each child and we are sad to see your family go. Best of luck to you all, and thank you for choosing Acorns as your child's home away from home!

My son has been at Partou Acorns since he was 1 yrs and is now leaving for primary school. We could not have chosen a better setting! Every staff member is fabulous, warm, kind, and full of fun! There's always something exciting happening, and I have cherished the cute artwork and crafts my son brings home. The app is a gem, letting me stay in the loop with all the delightful activities and games the children enjoy. My son eats EVERYTHING in abundance at every meal, more so than at home - which tells me the food is delicious! The preschool graduation was nothing short of charming and exceeded all my expectations. The staff always go the extra mile to celebrate special occasions, and I'm consistently impressed by the love and effort that goes into these preparations. Overall, our experience at Acorns has been nothing short of fantastic, and while we are sad to leave, my son is more than ready for his next adventure, equipped for success. A huge THANK YOU to the manager & her wonderful team! Xx
Thank you so much for your kind words in this heartfelt review and for your continued support! We are beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of your child's early years.

Over the past five years, both of my children have had the joy and privilege of attending Acorns Day Nursery, and I can say with absolute confidence that I could not have wished for better care. From the very beginning, the nursery has stood out for its deeply personalised approach to childcare. The staff take the time to truly know each child, building strong, nurturing relationships that foster trust, confidence, and happiness. The bonds they form are genuine and lasting-my children have not only thrived here but have absolutely adored their time at Acorns and the wonderful team who care for them. One of the most impressive aspects of Acorns is the remarkably low staff turnover, which speaks volumes about the supportive and professional environment. The consistency has allowed my children to build meaningful connections with familiar faces, and the staff's dedication and expertise shine through in everything they do.
Thank you for your glowing review! We genuinely believe in providing a personalised and nurturing environment for each child.

I have been taking my child to Acorns for over 2 years. The staff are friendly, caring and clearly enthusiastic about looking after children. From the staff in the babies room - one staff member in particular, to Tweenies, where the team, really do go over and beyond to ensure the children are stimulated through the day through arts and crafts / outdoor and indoor play and circle time. The spaces are always filled with an array of toys whilst also being kept clean. They provide healthy balanced meals and digital updates are received regularly so you are reassured your child is having a good day. I have seen the growth in confidence and social skills my child has developed through attending. Thank you!

The staff in the baby room are fantastic, our little boy has a close bond with his key worker and she does an absolutely amazing job.
