My son has only been at this nursery for 4 months so far, but it has already made such a huge positive impact on him. I've seen a lovely improvement in his confidence, comfort and learning, and he has learned so much in such a short time. All the staff are genuinely lovely, caring and welcoming. They all take the time to get to know the children, even when working in different rooms, and understand their individual needs, routines and preferences so well. Whenever I've raised any concerns, they've always listened and taken them seriously, which means a lot to me as a mum. They've built such a lovely relationship with both my son and me, and I'm so grateful for the care, patience and love they show him. It's reassuring knowing he's happy, settled and thriving.
Thank you so much for your feedback, we really appreciate it.
The key worker knows my child really well and they have a brilliant relationship. I feel that my child is in good and safe hands. Staff are amazing, very experienced, attentive, and show genuine care and concern for the children.

As grandparents we had the opportunity to visit the nursery and meet some of the staff recently. What a fantastic environment for children to learn and develop. I couldn't be more impressed with the setup and especially love the outside 'forest style' area. All the staff we met were fantastic and a special mention of Joelle who is a credit to the Acorn group. We are so happy our grandchild goes to Acorns and the warm welcome in the morning makes her feel right at home. Can't recommend highly enough.

Fantastic nursery, all the staff genuinely care about the children and make sure each day is fun and exciting for them with lots of different activities. My son does struggle to settle in the morning at times and they always manage to make him smile within minutes of me leaving whether it is just giving him a cuddle or making him laugh and whenever I pick him up, he is always so happy. The forest school is great and they always have a great variety of things for the children to do.
I'm very pleased with the care and support my child is receiving at this nursery. The staff are friendly, caring, patient and genuinely attentive to the children's needs. The nursery provides a safe, welcoming and stimulating environment where children can learn, play and develop with confidence....
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and supportive place for their child.

My 2 year old started here earlier this year after we moved to Milton Keynes. Since the beginning they've been absolutely amazing. He struggled to settle at the beginning because there were too many changes for him at the same time, and they were so kind always letting me know how he was when I messaged. He settled quickly after that and now he absolutely loves it! Sometimes doesn't even want to leave. I love the staff there, the environment and I love that I get to see throughout the day what he eats, etc through the app. My soon to be 1 year old is starting there soon, and it helps knowing he'll be in good hands! Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your feedback, we really appreciate it.
My daughter has been going to the nursery nearly a year now. She's happy to go to nursery, she does not cry on the way, but she cries on the way back to our house that tells me she's happy with the place. The staff are very good in communication and communicate back-and-forth and they take the...

We are extremely grateful to everyone at the nursery for the care and dedication they show every day, although we will be very sad when he moves onto school, we are so thankful that his nursery experience has been such a positive and happy one.
I truly couldn't recommend them enough.

Using Acorns nursery as a first time Mum has been such a positive experience. The team and my son's key person worked above and beyond to support my son with his struggles with settling into nursery. Extra settling in sessions were provided which really helped him to become familiar with the new...
I have had no problems at all and would highly recommend Acorns for first time parents.

My daughter recently moved from oaks room to squirrels. I was nervous for her because the new room has older children in it and it was another change for her to deal with
The whole move up was so easy and the staff from each room were extremely helpful and gave us 0 concerns.

We have had a great experience and Acorns has met all our expectations. We're really happy with the quality of feedback from the nursery practitioners when we pick up our child. They give a comprehensive detailed account of the important part of our child's day and are always willing to discuss any issues further. This really gives us a sense of thorough care and of course, sets our minds at ease for when we're from our child. The app used is updated with the regular feeding and changes throughout the day, but we also get photos of certain activities from time to time which gives us further details of which specific development areas these activities are targeting.
Thank you very much Adam! We really appreciate your feedback!

My son is one year old, and going back to work was one of the hardest things I've had to do. I was so nervous about how he would adjust and whether he'd be in good hands since he's still so little. But honestly, I couldn't be happier with the care he's receiving.

The manager and staff are absolutely wonderful so warm, friendly, caring, and attentive. It makes all the difference. My son's key worker has built such a lovely bond with him, and I can see how much he enjoys being there. In the morning before we leave the house, my son would reach for his nursery bag. And when I get there he would give a big cuddle to his key worker and that's how I know he's happy.
I'm truly so grateful for this nursery knowing my son is in good hands has made it possible for me to return to work.
Thank you very much! We really appreciate your feedback.
