Partou Acorns in Adel Day Nursery & Pre-school

We honestly couldn't recommend Partou Acorns in Adel highly enough. It's a truly outstanding nursery.

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. The staff absolutely make the nursery what it is- they are so caring and supportive. My child has thrived there and will be so sad when its time to go to School.

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.

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!

We absolutely love Acorns in Adel. It truly feels like a home from home - such a warm, caring and supportive environment.

The team are absolutely incredible and can never do enough. Our child is so happy there and has grown in confidence so much.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Acorns - it's a fantastic nursery and I will be forever grateful that both my children were nurtured here.

My daughter has attended since she was 11 months old. She has come on so much, and she loves going every morning. The care the staff provide is exceptional, and she has formed a particularly strong bond with Cian in the baby room. My daughter feels so safe and happy with him and she can be her best chatty self! All of the staff are wonderful and so caring.

Our son has improved in speech and social skills recently. All the staff are amazing with my child, the manager Donna as well.

My son attends the setting and he is so happy. He has a lovely bond with all the staff who always go above and beyond. My daughter also attended Acorns in Adel and loved it too. The activities they provide daily are fantastic and engaging. Both my children loved all the delicious meals cooked for them and always ate well. The setting truly deserves their outstanding Ofsted they received in September. Thank you so much.

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!

My son loves it and I'm sure my daughter will too.

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

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

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.

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. When our son first attended the nursery he was working through egg/milk allergy ladders and the chef at the nursery provided lovely alternatives that he could have. We love seeing the updates/photos on the app to see what he has gotten up to during the day. Thank you Acorns!

I fully recommend Acorns to anyone, they really have demonstrated how the people make the place!

My son has attended Acorns in Adel since he was 9 months old, he has just turned 3. I cannot praise the staff working at Acorns enough, they are friendly and welcoming and nothing is ever too much trouble. My son absolutely loves his nursery days and is so excited when I drop him off on a morning. He loves dinosaurs and nursery have gone above and beyond to ensure a range of different dinosaur activities are provided to keep him busy, engaged and learning. I would 100% recommend Acorns in Adel and appreciate all they do.

Overall a great nursery with wonderful people working there that we'd always recommend!

My son has loved his time at nursery, from baby room to preschool. The staff are fantastic, creating a positive environment to learn, play and explore. There are always lots of exciting activities for the children to engage with, the staff really take an interest in what the children are interested in and plan special activities around interests and also celebrate special occasions/events with the children. The food is great with lots of variety. I can't praise the team enough for creating such a lovely friendly welcoming environment. My son is leaving for school shortly and is well prepared for his next journey, but we will all miss the team.

Our child has been with Acorns for the whole of her nursery and pre-school, from starting in the baby room to now almost finishing pre-school. All the way through we have been impressed with Acorns. The staff are really the best thing about the nursery, they feel like a family, care about the children and build solid relationships with them. Even though my daughter left the baby room several years ago, staff there still remember her name and always say hello when we see them on the way in. The atmosphere is fun and supportive. She also loves the food! The facilities are lovely, they adapt and change the play areas as needed by the children (eg as her current class move towards starting school, the area that was a role play "home" area is now a "school" area).

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Acorns to anyone, we've had a totally positive experience and are so glad we chose them.
