We can't recommend Acorns highly enough! A fantastic team of staff and excellent nursery. We have watched our daughter grow in confidence and grow to love the wonderful team, they are a second family to her. We have enrolled our son to begin later in the year at Acorns, and we hope to have the same
brilliant experience in the future.

My daughter started at acorns in January at just 5 months old, so you can understand my worries, however the staff have all gone above and beyond in making her and myself feel extremely welcome! The bonds my daughter has made, especially with her key worker, are incredible and she is truly happy and
content to be left in their care. In the few months since she has started, I have clearly seen so much development in her both socially and physically, which is down to the caring and encouraging nature of the staff! Thank you acorns.

We have been over the moon with Partou Acorns in Adel Day Nursery & Pre-school for our daughter. She has been there from baby room through to leaving for primary school. Every room has been brilliant, the staff have always gone above and beyond to nurture, care and individualise the support for our
child.
Our child was given glasses and the staff then made a mini opticians for all the children to normalise wearing glasses and understand more about eye tests etc. it was such a lovely touch and helped our child adjust to wearing them.
The staff are all very kind and caring, my child loves going in and always wants to tell her key workers what she's been doing outside of nursery as they've formed a lovely bond all the way through.
The food is varied, healthy and freshly made on site. My child has tried lots of new foods which she would never attempt at home!
The staff have always helped with each transition such as new siblings etc. and have been so supportive to us as parents as well as to our child.
100% recommend!

Our little boy recently finished at Acorns having started school this September. We feel he was really well prepared for school by the team there and even though none of his chums were going to the same school as him, the team there had helped his confidence grow so he settled in really quickly to school.
He often says how much he misses pre-school and all the teams there, especially 6 members of staff in particular.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of our boy, helping him learn and grow into the kind young chap he is now.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Acorns have been fantastic with my children, forming lovely bonds with them and caring for them so well. The staff are creative and I am amazed at the variety of activities they come up with. They theme activities where possible to maximise learning such as celebrating different religious holidays,
sport-based activities to coincide with e.g. Olympics/Euros, geography-based games particularly if a child has a tie with another country, activities based around well-known books. They give the children a varied and healthy diet and both of mine have loved the food. The Tweenies room is particularly good at getting the children outdoors as much as possible, and children from pre-school love their woodland area. There is a lovely vibe around the nursery, and it is a safe and nurturing environment for children. My children have left with lovely friends, enhanced social skills and are more than ready to progress into school life having been given a fantastic foundation by the staff at Acorns.

Our son has settled extremely well into the Tweenies room! He has developed such a strong relationship with his key worker and she has taken so much time to get to know him. He absolutely loves going in to nursery! The provision is amazing and so much of the learning is tailored specifically to children’s
individual learning. Would highly recommend!

I cannot praise the staff at Acorns-in-Adel enough, my 4-year-old is nearly ready to leave for school in September and the staff have taught him so much and prepared him so well. He absolutely loves coming into nursery and this is the best feeling as a parent. My 1-year-old settled in almost instantly
and has made positive bonds with all the baby room staff. Cannot thank the team enough! They are amazing.

Our baby has attended Acorns in Adel since September, he joined nursery when he was 8 months old. Originally, I was worried this may be too early but it was the best thing for him. He is coming on each week and seems like a confident baby. The staff are fantastic, they really care for our baby (and
all the children). There's a great atmosphere at the nursery and they encourage the babies to learn through play. They encourage him to eat different food and it's great they do messy play. We have noticed our baby seems to try more things after returning from nursery such as crawling, standing up, walking etc, it's a good opportunity for him to learn from the older children. The information we receive at pick up shows they are attentive to our baby and the parents evening are a great opportunity for us to ask questions. Our baby's face lit up when he saw his key worker at parents evening.

Wonderful, caring and consistent staff. I leave my son in the morning knowing he is in the best hands possible. He was previously at another nursery but after experiencing issues with their level of care and other matters, I chose to move him to Acorns and never looked back! I really can't thank all
the lovely ladies in Tweenies enough for all they do to provide such a lovely safe environment for my son.

My daughter has been attending Acorns for 3 years now and has moved through all the 3 separate rooms from baby's up to pre-school. The staff in each room are really friendly. I have always been very happy with the care Acorns staff provide and nothing seems too much! I like the layout of the nursery
and they have plenty of facilities including the separate outdoor spaces. The food menu is always very good and often my little girl will try meals she would not try at home. Me and my daughter really enjoy taking part in all holiday celebrations that Acorns put on for the children. I would highly recommend Acorns and will be sad when my daughter starts school in September, hopefully in the future if she has any siblings they can attend Acorns too.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I moved my child from here in the summer as she was very reluctant to go in and didn't seem to have a good relationship with the staff. I noticed that the toys were often cleared away leaving the children access to only a small section of the room despite there being nearly an hour left before it closed.
She settled very quickly into a different nursery and was very clear she didn't want to go back to Acorns.
The communication was very poor, we were rarely informed if there was sickness and a few times it was a sign on the door. I compare this to her new nursery where an email is sent to all parents.
She was rarely sent home with any artwork. The outside space is very small with only a small section of shade which the children are cramped into.

Acorns has been a fantastic nursery for my two daughters previously and most recently my son. All the staff are so welcoming and have made all of my children feel happy and secure in the nursery surroundings with their kind and loving nature that they have shown towards all of them. The staff still
take the time to talk to my eldest children on pickup and make them feel included in their younger brother's time there. The staff at Acorns provide stimulating and exciting activities for the children and they care about the quality of learning they provide for all age groups. My son enjoys the delicious menu too!
My son has progressed so well and has thoroughly enjoyed his time there.
It is an end of a fantastic era for us as a family. We shall miss everyone at Acorns lots. I am so so grateful for the wonderful experience we have had for the past 10 years at Acorns, one which we will never forget, and we can’t thank the staff highly enough for making that time so enjoyable.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Our child has been at the nursery since March 2021. We like the overall set-up of the nursery e.g. the rooms, toys, menu and staff and our daughter has progressed very well since she has been there. She has learnt basic sign language, her vocabulary has improved and she is very social having made lots
of friends. My only issue is the lack of communication from the nursery itself. We really have to ask lots of questions to find out what she has done during the day as the general response is 'she has been fine'. I would like more detail as to activities carried out during the day so that we can continue this into the evening and discuss at home. The Learning Book does not get updated on a regular basis and therefore I am unable to see how the nursery carries out activities in line with the EYFS.

I have had two children attend Acorns-in-Adel, in the Baby Room and Tweenies. They have both enjoyed their time there, and both have benefitted from the loving attention of the staff. The staff have also been really helpful when managing toilet training, and the managers are very flexible in terms
of offering extra days if needed. Over the last couple of years, more use has been made of the online app in order to chart my children’s development and provide photos of them with their friends. This was particularly nice to see during the periods of lockdown as parents weren’t allowed into the nursery at that time. Overall we have been pleased to send our children to Acorns-in-Adel.

The nursery have been great with my child catering to his individual traits and building on these, the amount they go outside seems to be increasing which is great for him. I really think the food is excellent and the staff. Wish the preschool had as much access to outside space as tweenies room but
understand the building doesn't allow for this

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.923)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.923) out of 10 for Partou Acorns in Adel Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.923 for Partou Acorns in Adel Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (280 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.923
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Acorns in Adel Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 66 number of registered child places is 13.2, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
