We're so happy with Little Acres Nursery. Our son loves going there and is always happy, which means everything to us. The staff are kind and caring, communication is great, and the nursery is always clean and welcoming. We feel very confident leaving him in their care and would highly recommend it.

Overall Experience

My partner and I and our little boy love Little Acres. The staff are so friendly, warm and welcoming. They are really attentive to the children and have great activities throughout the week that help them to learn, express emotions and explore different topics. They keep us well informed through the app and communicate regularly with updates. Our little boy loves going to nursery and is always excited to go. He's thriving there and we couldn't be happier. The forest school is an amazing facility to have, as is the woods they can go for walks around. We're sending our newborn later in the year and are lucky to have secured a place early

Review from Bonnie F (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We think the nursery is absolutely brilliant. The children absolutely love it. My daughter is absolutely thriving and her manners, speech and knowledge are amazing.
My son couldn't speak when he started at the nursery and has external refers for speech and language therapy as well as autism and the nursery has been so accommodating to this. They are always interested in his appointment results and I know they have worked
with his speech.
I cannot fault this nursery at all they always help me when I need advice and nothing seems to be too much of an ask.

Every staff member puts in 100% effort and it really shows.

Reply from Daisy Gibbs, Nursery Manager at Little Acres Day Nursery and Pre-school

Review from Ellie T (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with this nursery and pre-school. My daughter started when she was just 18 months old and is now 3, and the progress she has made is amazing.
The team are always teaching the children new skills in such a fun, supportive way, and her confidence has grown so much since attending. The staff are incredibly lovely, welcoming, and genuinely care about each child.
We especially love the focus on outdoor learning and forest school - it's something my daughter really enjoys and looks forward to. They also regularly update the food menus, ensuring the children have a great variety of healthy, nutritious meals while they are there, which is very reassuring as a parent.

She has made so many new friends and is always excited to go in. I feel very confident knowing she is happy, learning, and well cared for every day. I would highly recommend this nursery and pre-school to any parent.

Review from S N (Mother of Child) published on 2 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As first-time parents, we were nervous about choosing a nursery, but this one quickly put us at ease. The staff are warm, caring, and incredibly supportive, creating a safe and nurturing environment where our little one settled in beautifully.

Our child also has a special health need, and the team have been absolutely amazing in managing it. They handle everything with professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail, which gives us complete peace of mind.

The daily updates and photos are a highlight-they help us feel connected and reassured throughout the day. It's clear the children are engaged, happy, and encouraged to explore through thoughtful, age-appropriate activities.

We couldn't be happier. This nursery has become a wonderful part of our routine, and we highly recommend it to any first-time parents.

We have loved having her at the nursery, she brightens up on our day having her here with us :) Thank you so much for your kind words!

Review from L D (Mother of Child) published on 8 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have nothing but great things to say about both the nursery and staff working there.
When our son started he was a tough one to settle in but the girls in Baby room were so lovely and caring and he is now an outgoing cheeky character in there. We have seen such a big improvement in his confidence and social skills.
The nursery are always putting on a range of activities to support our sons learning and development.

Not only have they been amazing with our son they have also been very supportive to us too, as first time parents we were apprehensive to leave him but they make sure to keep you updated throughout the day to help reassure you.

Overall Experience
I have always found the staff to be very helpful and informative. They are always on hand to answer any questions no matter how silly, big or small.

Great handovers when dropping off and picking up my child. Only took a few times for him to love it and build relationships with staff. Great experience for a first time mum.

Review from N B (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As parents and especially first-time parents we were anxious about choosing a preschool for our son. From the first visit around, to see the warm welcoming, clean, inviting space he would have to learn in. We felt reassured.
We had some difficulties at first with him adapting to Pre-school and we cannot thank Little Acres Day Nursery and Pre-school staff enough for how they approached this. They supported him, and us in a sensitive way. They were modern thinking, well informed and reassured us with their knowledge of support and ways they could help him. He has benefited from attending pre-school and loves to go, often telling me how much he loves his teachers.
The forest school has been amazing and Emma's approach to learning is fantastic.
Little Acres provided a fantastic environment to learn in all areas, in a safe and supportive way.

We truly cannot thank you enough.

Overall Experience

I absolutely love Little Acres Day Nursery and Pre-school Everyone is so lovely and caring, I never feel sad leaving my baby with them as I know she is in such good hands! Two members of staff, in particular, are amazing, we couldn't have wished for better people to look after our daughter and will miss them once she goes up to the toddler room. But I am also excited to meet other team members and build a bond with the people who look after our daughter.

Reply from Hayleigh Fry, Nursery Manager at Little Acres Day Nursery and Pre-school

Thank you for a lovely review, we love having your little one here. We can't wait to help support and further her development over her time in the other rooms.

Review from Mercedes H (Mother of Child) published on 17 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little one started Little Acres Day Nursery and Pre-school in January 2023, since starting, he has thrived, and my husband and I could not be happier with the care he receives whilst in this setting. The staff are always so helpful and are always available should we ever have any concerns. Since being in the pre-school room, he has formed special bonds with the staff and is a lot more confident with his numbers, colours, letters and general knowledge it is a joy to see.

Reply from Hayleigh Fry, Nursery Manager at Little Acres Day Nursery and Pre-school

Thank you for your kind review. We love having your little one here at Little Acres. We look forward to continuing to support his development during his time in pre-school. Kind regards.

Overall Experience

Little Acres Day Nursery and Pre-school has been amazing for my little one. He has grown in confidence, and you can tell he has the best time whilst there. I want to give a special mention to two members of staff who are truly excellent. They are so attentive and welcoming and really make my little one feel safe and at home. They also make sure that I am always updated regarding my little one's development and activities, which gives me piece of mind whilst I am working. I could not recommend this nursery enough.
