We do not charge registration fees, 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 children don’t attend through illness or holidays, apart from exceptional circumstances.

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.
We are extremely happy with this nursery and the care our child receives. The staff are exceptionally kind, caring, and genuinely invested in each child's individual development. The environment is always safe, clean, and welcoming. Our child has thrived here, particularly with the imaginative outdoor activities and structured learning that completely prepared them for the transition to school. The communication via their daily tracking app is exceptional. I highly recommend this provider to any parent looking for a safe, enriching environment.
Thank you so much for your feedback, we really appreciate it.

Such a lovely nursery, my son really enjoys spending time here. All the staff are really friendly and put a lot of time and effort into all the children. They always have a great variety of things for them to play with and explore.

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.
My daughter has developed a huge amount since joining the nursery and she now runs to get in and see her friends and staff.
Every drop off and pick up the staff have a chat and tell me about her day.
Thank you very much! We really appreciate your feedback!
Nursery team are absolutely wonderful! Our daughter has attended a couple of nurseries and this is the first one she has fully settled in and enjoys going to. The staff have made us all feel welcomed, and have bought the most out of our little girl. We would recommend this nursery to anyone in Milton Keynes looking for a fun and activity filled setting.
Thank you very much! We really appreciate your feedback!
My child started their since last April and it's has been an amazing experience and journey for him he loves going there and whe he comes back home he always brings us something new. We also learn a lot from him
Thank you very much! We really appreciate your feedback!
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 daughter has been going here since the start of the school term. She loves it. Always come out with a massive smile on her face. She does lots of different activities which she seems to really enjoy. I love the updates and photos that get sent throughout the day, it gives a good insight to what shes doing. The staff are all really welcoming in the morning and are very friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone considering enrolling here.
Thank you very much John! We really appreciate your feedback
Our experience has been excellent. The staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely dedicated to helping parents support their children's development. Enrolling our daughter in this nursery has brought remarkable improvement in her growth and confidence. We also appreciate the regular updates from the team and her key workers, which keep us well informed and connected to her progress.
Thank you very much! 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.
My daughter loves the nusery and my husband always finds its location very convenient. He always finds the staff very professional and caring towards the children. I will highly recommend this nusery to any parent .

We love that the caregivers genuinely understand the needs of toddler and are always patient, gentle, and engaging. It's clear that they are not just doing a job-they are passionate about what they do. Communication through the app is excellent, and we always feel in the loop with updates on our toddler progress and daily experiences. It's such a relief to know our little one is in such capable hands.
