Acorn Day Nursery (Stony Stratford)

I recommend Acorn to everyone with little ones, and my eldest went to another nursery of the groups when she was younger.

Overall I would highly recommend Acorn Day Nursery (Stony Stratford), they have given my daughter a great start in her schooling journey.

The food plans are a fantastic mix of things for the kids to try as well. Seeing what is happening at nursery on the Famly app is really helpful too, as it allows us to see what kind of day they've had.

My daughter has been there for nearly 2 months and has settled in really well. All the staff are amazing, informative and really friendly. They have coped so well with the Covid situation, with measures in place. The food is excellent with wonderful nutrition and my daughter eats it all. All nappies and wipes are provided. Everything is updated on the Famly app, start time, what foods she eats, nap times and you can update who and when is collecting her. They have an excellent space outside under the trees, so are often playing in the fresh air. I can’t rate them enough and they have made me feel at ease during this difficult time for everyone! Thank you

I can't speak highly enough of the staff at Acorn. They are always so caring and the children are always the priority. They are always so keen to make sure as parents/carers we are happy and nothing is ever too much to ask, they really go the extra mile. My niece has been here for the last few months and during the pandemic, they have remained professional and make sure the children have lots to do. She always comes back happy and can't wait to for the next day.

Always been supportive at drop-offs when our son is upset and really helpful and accommodating when our son has been diagnosed with a peanut allergy giving helpful guidance and implementing the advice. Provide very good meals for the children.

Being a first-time mum, sending my daughter to nursery was naturally, as expected, a daunting experience. During the process, I viewed plenty of nurseries but this one felt the most welcoming. Separation anxiety has been a key factor that we have had to overcome and I can honestly say that all the staff have been absolutely amazing, especially her keyworker. The small but yet effective things they do to ensure that my daughter had an amazing day makes the biggest difference. Having stayed a few times with my daughter while helping her settle down, I have witnessed the hard work and dedication the team have.

Brilliant nursery, they’ve given my son amazing support to help him learn and grow before heading to pre-school. They have excellent facilities and a variety of different play areas which my son loves, he especially loves their woodland area! The staff are great! Super helpful and supportive. The food and menus have great variety.

My daughter started at nursery in September and she absolutely loves it! The team have been amazing at getting her (and us!) settled and within days everyone knew who she was, what she liked and didn’t like and are always so friendly and welcoming. I had absolutely no qualms about leaving her for the first time in their care. The app is also brilliant for tracking your child’s day remotely and gives parents an additional feeling of comfort. I’d definitely recommend Acorn to anyone looking for care for their little one.

My son has been attending this nursery for just over 3 months now and absolutely loves it. He is extremely content when there and I never have any problems in leaving him. The staff are lovely and always welcoming and they all make a point of saying goodbye to him which I think is lovely. The staff to child ratio works well, I'm never worried he is being left alone too long and he is always included in activities. I feel happy and relaxed knowing my son is being well cared for and educated well in various activities throughout the day. Rapport between staff and children and their parents is great and I am always informed of daily activities or incidents. I really like the app which informs me of my sons day and communication is always to a high standard through this too.

I was very apprehensive about my daughter starting nursery, she had not been away from me and I was unsure how she would settle. All I can say is that I needn’t have worried. The staff have been amazing, they are always so welcoming and friendly and put my mind at ease. The nursery is lovely, and I especially love the low windows allowing children to look outside and take in their surroundings. There is a forest area which will be great when it’s finished. My daughter has settled in so much quicker than I anticipated which has definitely been down to the lovely staff knowing what she likes/needs. I can go to work feeling confident that my daughter will be well looked after, stimulated and happy. The Famly app is also great and I enjoy checking it to see what she’s been up to. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery.

The staff have really helped my son settle in and seem to know him well in terms of his likes and dislikes. My son is making progress and seems settled in the nursery environment. The setting is lovely and the staff make good use of the local area.

I was recommended Acorn Day Nursery by a colleague and have been recommending them to others. Fantastic staff and a fantastic nursery.

We absolutely love taking our son to Acorn Day Nursery! He loves it too! He’s come on leaps and bounds since being there and he loves all the nursery assistants which his dad and I think is very important. To put your trust in a stranger with your own child is something very daunting but from day one, everyone who works there has been so friendly, professional and made us feel at ease. Just walking into the nursery gives us a really good feeling. I love getting the updates and pictures of how our son is doing despite there being a lot of babies/children to all do the same for. It’s lovely to see our boy so happy and that’s all thanks to everyone at Acorn!

I have no worries leaving my child at this nursery and would highly recommend it!

Great nursery. Our son loves going, has fun and is well looked after. Staff are welcoming and communication is good.

The staff at this nursery are professional, attentive and caring. They take the time to get to know my daughter and she has a good rapport with them. The home visit and settling in period was helpful for my daughter to transition from being at home to being in the nursery. They have many activities planned for the children and it keeps them busy. They serve a variety of nutritious food which is prepared at their other branch. I am delighted to know that my daughter is being served freshly made healthy food every day. The mobile app is also very useful as I am able to keep up with what is going on with my daughter while at work i.e. when she has her nap, what she had for lunch etc. The staff provides excellent feedback on how my daughter has been progressing. I am very grateful for everyone at Acorn Day Nursery Stony Stratford and hope my daughter continues to grow as an individual, surrounded by amazing people!

Well prepared, professional staff in a lovely brand new location. My 1 year old daughter enjoys attending there everyday.

We love the outdoors/natural ethos of the nursery which our little one loves - being out in the fresh air as often as possible. The staff are exceptional.

We are all so happy that our daughter has settled in well.
