Review from Honey R (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started in September and he's loved it, the staff are lovely with him and he's always coming home and talking about what he did and what he ate.

He's learned a lot from his sessions in nursery and it's helped him loads in progressing in all areas and aspects.

Overall Experience
My son loves coming to Acorn Nursery. The staff are always polite and always willing to help if we are stuck for childcare.
He was very nervous and scared to start this nursery as we had a bad experience with his nursery before but everyone was very welcoming and they comforted both of us as we were both nervous as his other nursery was a bad experience.

Overall an amazing nursery.

Acorns Neatherfield is a warm, caring and friendly nursery. My daughter loves it here, especially the sensory room.

We went and viewed about 7 nurseries and Acorns was a clear winner, I would highly recommend it.

I am very pleased with the progress my child has made since attending this nursery. She has shown significant improvement in learning to do things independently, which has been wonderful to see. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about my child. The environment at the nursery is warm and welcoming, providing a great space for children to learn and grow. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive and nurturing place for their child.

Overall Experience

My nearly 13-month-old baby has been going since she was 7 months old. She absolutely loves it! The staff are so loving and nurturing! I work within children's social care and I am really fussy! The staff go above and beyond and also keep me informed. Some days when I miss her I'll ask them to send me a picture while I am grabbing a coffee and it makes my day! She adores the staff and has developed so much! Thank you all! It's the hardest thing to leave your children with someone else but I feel completely at ease!

My little girl starting nursery was a big step for me and her! I was extremely nervous but the staff made me feel reassured and comfortable. I get regular updates about her day what she's doing, what she's eating, and a lot more. I have full trust and confidence in this nursery and absolutely recommend it!

Starting nursery was a massive challenge for my boy and me but Acorns made it such an easy transition for us the staff have been amazing with us both, his speech has come so far and his physical skills, the nursery are amazing at keeping me updated and helping with the anxiety of leaving him. I'm very happy we picked Hedgerows.

Review from Alina C (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Really happy with my little one nursery with a great team of professional and supportive staff members. He enjoys the variety of activities (messy plays, plenty of eco-friendly activities and outdoor-orientated activities) which change daily to keep it fresh and interesting. Lots of outdoor play to help them burn off some energy the nursery has everything you could hope for in a warm and engaging setting for any child and very important is the healthy fresh food offered daily. My experience when coming to the nursery is excellent, my child has become a bubbly, excited little boy and he comes out learning new things and has come out of his shell. He loves the staff who work here.

Review from Camelia B (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A friendly place with well-trained staff, now I don't have any emotions to take the second girl there because I know I'm leaving her in good hands, hands that know how to hug, love, argue and create wings for children. The big one will soon take flight from the nursery nest but she will definitely miss the place.

I recommended the nursery and I will recommend it because it is so nice to know that you have a place where your child learns, grows, makes friends and feels super good.

Review from Megan K (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son really struggled to leave me and took him a while to settle into nursery, but he is absolutely thriving now, his speech has come on leaps, he has the best time at nursery and is so excited to tell me about all the fun things he gets up to and all the yummy food he eats! I get amazing updates of the things he has been doing at nursery and I feel totally comfortable leaving him.

The staff are all super friendly and welcoming and my son has formed some lovely friendships with the staff & children in the nursery.

I wish I could give a rating higher than 5 stars honestly.
Everything they do is intentional, friendly, and creative. My daughter settled in from day 1 and looks forward to school the next day.
Information is seamlessly communicated and support is offered when needed.
A big thank you to the team at Hedgerows.

I would recommend Acorn Day Nursery (Hedgerows) 100%.

Review from J P (Mother of Child) published on 4 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The best way I could describe the nursery is a home away from home. The team are just fantastic, the care and attention my child gets is more than I could ever hope for. I feel like they take real interest into his personality (what he likes doing, what he doesn’t) with such enthusiasm and encouragement. I honestly couldn’t be happier, I know that when I drop him off that he will be looked after and engaged with.
