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.
If you are looking for a nursery in Leeds with an Outstanding Ofsted rating and a team that genuinely cares, pleas contact the nursery today to be shown why Partou Acorns in Adel is a great fit for your family.

My daughter has been attending Acorns-in-Adel Private Day Nursery for 3 months now. She loves going and is always happy to see her key worker and the other staff in the baby room. I love all the little updates that I receive on the portal and I am kept well informed of my daughter's routine. The homemade food goes down particularly well with my daughter! The nursery manager is very helpful and always responds quickly to my emails if I have any queries.
A wonderful nursery and preschool. My two children are very happy there. It is a caring and nurturing environment, with a real family feel. The preschool have done a great job getting my four year old ready for school.

My 17 month old daughter has recently started at Acorns and so far I can’t recommend them enough. They are professional and really care for the children in their care. My daughter was crying when she was first left but within 10 minutes she had settled and was playing with her key worker. I think as time goes on she will settle really well at Acorns and we are more than happy with them.
Although my son is upset when I drop him off I know in a matter of minutes he has settled either having breakfast or playing with his friends. He is always busy doing an activity or outside playing when I go to pick him up. He is very chatty about everything he has done that day. He has so much...
Although my son is upset when I drop him off I know in a matter of minutes he has settled either having breakfast or playing with his friends. He is always busy doing an activity or outside playing when I go to pick him up. He is very chatty about everything he has done that day. He has so much more confidence since coming to nursery. The additional activities and celebrations that they hold are also very good.
The individual care of every child is very good. Cleanliness is good. Learning activities in preschool are beneficial.

A fantastic nursery! My 2-year-old has lots of fun every day and comes home tired (so I know he has been playing lots and has been stimulated throughout the day). The staff are great - very friendly and caring.

The nursery has been great with my child. He started attending the nursery 6 months ago and I can see that he has developed and grown well. He has learned a lot and I can see that he has great learning support from the carers in the nursery. The food served in nursery is delicious and I strongly believe my son thoroughly enjoys his meals there. The menu is also extensive and I am glad he is given the opportunity to experience the many varieties of meals.
Would recommend to everybody.

Very pleased with my daughter's ongoing programme since starting nursery. Her first language is Farsi and she does not have any connection with English but now started communicating in English. I feel that she is more sensible and confident since she has started nursery.

We are so happy that we chose Acorns for our son. The level of care and attention that they receive in the baby room is amazing. His keyworker has taken a real interest in his development and knows all his likes, dislikes and habits, often without me having to tell her. I feel really valued as a parent and will get a thorough rundown of his day when I pick him up. I know I can drop him off and he's going to have a fantastic day and will eat and nap really well. He eats more than at home and seems to be far less fussy, wolfing down curries, soups and all his veg!
I have and will continue to recommend Acorns to friends.

My daughter started nursery in March 2018, aged 10 months. She settled quickly and now loves it. The ladies in the baby room are fantastic, they know each child really well and it feels like a really caring environment. If you've asked them to do something specific in your baby's routine, they do it. I trust them completely and don't worry about my baby whilst I'm at work.

The nursery has a really safe, fun feel to it. All the staff I have experienced are engaging with the children, genuinely caring and invested in their development. Our child has been at Acorns since the age of 1 and so was in the Baby room, which she loved; since progressing to the Tweenie room her development has come on leaps and bounds; speech, memory, understanding etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending the nursery and have already done so.

The staff have taken account of my established routines and provide updates on the days activities when home time comes around. My little one loves attending nursery!
We honestly can’t recommend Acorns enough! Our daughter started there in January and at first, we were worried she wouldn’t settle in because she’s only there 1 or 2 days a week (they’ve been so flexible with the days for us!), but she settled in so well and she’s having such a brilliant time....

Excellent level of care. My child is very happy attending - which to me is the most important thing. The staff clearly know my child well, and I feel like he is thriving in their care. There are numerous opportunities that have been provided including trips to the theatre and to the cinema, themed days and even a nativity that I and my husband thoroughly enjoyed!
Very professional staff. My baby loves nursery which speaks for itself about his bonding with the staff in the baby room. Overall, very happy with the staff and manager and would happily recommend.

Acorns is a caring, friendly, welcoming nursery where children are known, loved and understood. We are very happy with the provision our son receives and he loves the time he spends there. We would, and do, recommend the nursery!

My children love Acorns. The staff are lovely, everyone throughout the building knows each other and there’s a real family feel. The children seem to have lots of fun and make great friendships. Food, learning, cleanliness, safeguarding etc all excellent.
