The staff are so accommodating and adapted to accommodate and care for my child in the best way possible. The managers are efficient, knowledgeable, and professional at all times. They are also nurturing and clearly have a great passion for the work they do. I would especially like to recognise my child’s key worker who has been patient, caring, and adaptable to help make my child feel comfortable in the nursery setting.
Amazing nursery with amazing staff and facilities! We have only recently moved our children to Acorns Nursery and the staff have been so welcoming. I would highly recommend Acorns Llandaff to anyone who is looking to send their children to nursery.
My son has numerous food allergies and we’ve been so impressed with how staff at Acorns Llandaff manage it. It’s such a relief to know he’s being well looked after and catered for. He clearly loves being there.
I had the first experience with Acorns back in 2018 with my oldest daughter, now I have my youngest in Acorns since January and I must say: excellent. Lovely staff, friendly, always with different activities! Amazing nursery.
I can not recommend Acorns Llandaff enough. My little boy attended their previous nursery 3 years ago and now my little girl has been here in Llandaff since September when it opened. The staff go above and beyond to reassure you of any worries you might have and each member of staff genuinely cares about the children. It is more expensive than most nurseries but the cost doesn’t come into it when you have to leave your child in the care of these girls here at Llandaff they are worth every penny!
I am so pleased with Acorns Llandaff. Being a first-time mum all the new decisions are so scary, this is definitely one of the best decisions I've made for my little girl. She absolutely loves going to nursery, she cannot wait to go to all the staff. The staff are absolutely amazing! I can't thank them enough for what they do in the nursery. As for the nursery itself, it is absolutely beautiful, so calm, new, and clean.
When I was younger, I attended an Acorns nursery and so have always held them to a high standard based on memory. Both of my daughters have/are attending Acorns and they have only gotten better over the years. The care and love shown to the children by the staff is incredible, there's no concern as a parent when dropping off as you know they'll most likely have a better day there than they would have at home! The activities are really well thought out, the kids get a lot of outside play and the food is brilliant. 10/10, the best nursery in Cardiff.
We are so pleased with Acorns Llandaff and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The staff are phenomenal and our child loves attending. The updates throughout the day, the arts and crafts and activities they do are all great and have helped with the development of our child.
My older daughter attended another one of the excellent Acorns nurseries previously and when Acorns Llandaff opened I wanted my son to attend. Acorns Llandaff is a fantastic nursery, with such wonderfully kind and caring staff. My son always seems happy to go to nursery and has settled in well. I have detailed handovers at the end of each day from his key workers and often get photos of the numerous activities he has done that day. We absolutely love Acorns and really pleased he attends.
I can’t be more grateful for how the wonderful staff at Acorns Llandaff helped my little boy settle into nursery. They all go above and beyond to help him and he’s gone from crying at drop-off to running through the door, excited to spend his day at nursery. He has now been attending for four months and I have noticed his development come on leaps and bounds. Always updated with photos of what he’s been doing throughout the day which is always lovely to see.
Acorns Llandaff is an exceptional nursery run by a highly skilled manager with attentive, kind, and caring nursery workers, cleaners, and chefs. Our daughter has attended Acorns Llandaff since they first opened their (beautifully grand) doors in September 2021 and considers Acorns to be a second home. Our daughter loves to talk to us about her friends at Acorns, her key workers at Acorns, and all the different activities she does on a daily basis. Thank you Acorns! We don’t know what we would do without you all.
My daughter has been at Acorns Llandaff since November 2021. She has settled very well and is always happy going to nursery and comes home happy at the end of the day. The staff and management and friendly and caring and the building and facilities are wonderful.
We moved from London where my daughter was very settled at her nursery and I was worried how she would adapt to the change but I have been delighted how quickly she has settled at Acorns Llandaff. The building and facilities are absolutely beautiful, and the staff are fantastic and very friendly even at the busy drop-off/pick-up time. My daughter seems really fond of her teacher. They seem to have a lot of fun and do some varied art and other activities. We are really happy with everything. Thanks to the manager and the whole team!
A home from home for my son! The staff are so kind and caring and helped him settle really quickly. Standards are top-notch and the building is absolutely beautiful. Have already recommended to friends.
We were apprehensive about changing to a newly opened nursery. We are so happy that we did! We have been very impressed by the professionalism, enthusiasm, and dedication of the staff. Our daughter is very happy and comes home having done a variety of fulfilling activities. Communication from the nursery is fantastic both with the friendly and approachable manager, the daily updates in person and on the app. She brings home some art/craft/baking on a regular basis. We thoroughly recommend Acorns Llandaff.
We moved our daughter from another Acorns site to the Llandaff nursery entirely for convenience yet the move has brought with it so much more than that. Our daughter (who can be quite tearful and timid) has settled so quickly into what can only be described as the most loving and homely environment. Beyond the truly exquisite facilities offered by the newly renovated building (our 2.5 yo loves the dedicated library in particular), Llandaff is bursting at the seams with love and laughter. By coincidence, the manager here was the manager at Acorns Llanishen when our eldest daughter started there in 2016 so we were familiar with her superb leadership qualities and delighted to hear she was heading up Acorns Llandaff. The manager has the most perfect "way" with both parents and her team and we've loved meeting her deputy who is also superb. Faultless in every way, another first-class Acorns site with an incredible team.
My twins have been attending Acorns Llandaff since Sept 2021 and the team there are incredible. Always accommodating, helpful, reassuring, and kind. The most important element is that my girls are always so happy to go to Nursery every day, they absolutely love the ladies that look after them and so do I!
An excellent nursery within a beautiful setting. It has excellent indoor and outdoor facilities for the children, with caring and knowledgeable staff who are always happy to help. My daughter transferred nurseries due to a house move and has settled extremely well. She thoroughly enjoys attending and has made many friends.
