Funding & Fees

We do not charge registration fees, but only a £100 deposit which is refunded against the first month’s fees. We don’t charge for settling in sessions, but we do expect payment for all nursery fees to be paid up front at the beginning of each month, which is standard practice for all childcare providers. We do not charge for bank holidays, our four training days each year, or for the three days closure between Christmas and New Year. We do, however, charge for days which children don’t attend through illness or holidays, apart from exceptional circumstances.

Our child has settled well and enjoys going in every day.
The staff are knowledgeable of his needs.
We are looking forward to the completion of the forest school garden which looks amazing.
The setting and facilities are great.
The close link to the retirement home allows further opportunities for enrichment.
This is the first time I have had to use a nursery and I had heard horror stories, but my experience to date with Acorns Stony Stratford has been amazing. Being a single Mum, I was worried that I would be called away a lot but that has not happened. My daughter loves going to Acorns, so much so, she pointed to go back when collecting her once. The staff are amazing and I couldn't ask for a better team to care for my daughter. If I could afford to have her in full time, I would.
I moved my daughter here this month after she failed to settle at another nursery. The staff have been so welcoming and have worked really hard to make her feel settled. The home visit made a great first impression on my daughter and her interests were clearly noted and have been built upon at the nursery. She enters happily and comes home with a smile on her face. The environment is calm, clean and productive. We’re having a great experience with Acorn Day Nursery (Stony Stratford).
Great staff, good facilities, varied activities and our son loves it. We love to receive daily updates through the Famly app which is a really great tool. Our previous nursery didn't do this.
I would recommend anyone in the area looking for a nursery to have Acorn at the top of your list to visit.
