Acorn Day Nursery (Rowans)

Acorns Day Nursery is a warm and nurturing environment for toddlers. Our son joined mid April and I can't quite believe how quickly he's settled in. Every morning he looks forward to going in, he absolutely loves his key worker and the rest of the team who are all very welcoming too. It's often a struggle to collect him at the end of the day as he's always having so much fun, he especially enjoys the outdoors areas. The team do a fantastic job of keeping us updated throughout the day which gives us extra peace of mind. We were so delighted with Acorns that we've already signed up our youngest to join in January too. Keep it up team Acorn!

My son was not very comfortable in his last nursery, each time we took him there, he was always upset and crying, not wanting to stay. But when we started here, from the first day he felt more at ease, like he wanted to be here, he is always happy when we drop him off in the morning, he has fun, and has been developing well ever since. I am very grateful to the staff and team looking after him, thank you very much.

We've been sending our youngster to Rowans for 2 years now and have had nothing but positive experiences. The staff are very supportive and facilitate a good level of development. We're particularly fond of the outdoors focused nature of the nursery that's helped develop a lot of curiosity and courage. I would definitely recommend Rowans to anyone in need of child care.

I've so far since my daughter started have enjoyed bringing her here as much as she looks forward to coming. The staff are friendly and the one to one parent meetings to review child progress is very handy. There are a variety of things for my girl to do and she has learnt and is currently leaning so much at this nursery.

The staff are amazing and caring and also happy. My boy loves going to nursery because the staff are so kind and welcoming to him and helps him express his natural self. He always comes home and tells me about his day and always has a massive smile on his face whilst doing so.

My little boy started at the beginning of January 26 and he is absolutely thriving at Acorn at Rowans. He loves going and always looks forward to his sessions. The communication via the app is great so I can see any accidents, and what he's eaten and any observations made. All the staff are amazing too. Very friendly and welcoming and also very approachable with any issues and also lets us know how his overall day has been. Every member of staff are a credit. I'm looking forward to seeing my child's progress and more outings when the weather improves. Thank you for your fantastic team!

Kid settled well after a lot of struggle with other nurseries. Staff is well trained and provide great care.They provide detailed update about the day when collecting the child. They got very good outdoor play where kids can play.

Rowans nursery have been outstanding. My daughter was very nervous about leaving us to go to nursery as were we. The nursery aloud my child to settle in at her own pace. She has come on in leaps and bounds with her speech and learning and is loving all the facilities! The sensory room is one of her favourite. They also do lots of activities outside of the school grounds! It's fabulous to see and the kids love it.

We are extremely happy with this nursery. They helped my son settle in very quickly, which meant so much to us as parents. The whole team is incredibly kind, caring, and supportive, and you can truly feel how much they care about the children. We feel very confident and comfortable leaving our son in their hands. Highly recommend this nursery!

I am very pleased with her development. Everything is great here.

I love the staff and the experience my child has. He's forming a proper little personality and I love it. He is happy bubbly making friends and achieving his milestones with confidence and ease. I know the staff have helped him a lot and supported him and cheered him on. Love you guys!

My 2 year old son started Nursery in January 2026. He didn't seem shy at all as it wasn't busy that day, came 2nd day he was a bit upset because it was loud due to having more children there. His key worker was there for him straight away when he was crying, it was really lovely to see such care and love to my son. Since then he has become to love nursery especially outdoors as he always rans out as soon we get there. All staffs are loving and caring and take there time with my son including other children, you can see how well they are bonded it's a really lovely thing to see. My son has improved alot since joining nursery I can't be anymore prouder for him.

Always friendly and helpful when we asked questions it had any worries. My son absolutely loves going to nursery now and always comes home with a smile.

We have had such a wonderful experience at Acorn at Rowans. Our little one took a while to settle in after starting nursery. The staff have been so accommodating and not just his key worker but the whole team, offering a range of strategies to help him feel happier and more settled while at nursery. The children get up to all kinds of fab activity - spending lots of time outside including in the forest school , playing, reading and in sensory play. Whenever we drop our child off everyone greets him by name in both the big and small kids rooms which is a testament to the warm, welcoming, family environment at Acorn Rowans that makes you feel comfortable leaving your child in their care!

Both of my children have attended this nursery, and we've had a wonderful experience. My son is now in reception after his time here, and my daughter is currently in the under 2s room. One of our favourite things about this nursery is the friendly and welcoming atmosphere created by the staff in both room. They are always so nurturing and understanding, making sure they take the time to meet each child's individual needs. I've been particularly impressed with the new garden space for the under 2s, which is a great addition as my daughter loves being outside! I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive and engaging environment for their child.

My son now loves going in. Whenever I pick up he is outside which is where he loves to be.

It's a very good place to enrol your child,the teachers are very friendly and helpful. They treat everyone the same, they welcome you well and make sure your child settles in( sometimes when you drop your child at nursery they begin to cry).

A nursery where your child can flourish, learn and explore in ways beyond imaginable. From home visits to adaptive support, mine and my child's needs are always met. The staff bring a warm manner of which my daughter knows each and every one of them by name. Her connection with each is reflected in her insisting to individually high five every staff member (often more than once) before we leave - extending beyond the staff that work in her room. Staff are attentive to the needs of each child. My daughter loves all the messy indoor and outdoor activities. She learns endlessly from how birds are fed, to what defines autumn. Her imagination is always encouraged from artistic exploration of imagery and nature. From creating stories from the clouds in the sky to exploring her senses in lemon scented play dough, a true foundation for creative development is provided. But most importantly love and care with warm cuddles and reassurances are always found to ease her days. Thank you all.

I am incredibly happy with Acorn at Rowans nursery. The staff are exceptionally kind, caring, and always available to help and answer any questions.

The nursery's mobile app is a fantastic and helpful tool. It allows me to see all the important details of my son's day in one place, including what he ate, how long he slept, and his daily activities. I especially appreciate the developmental progress updates, which provide great insight into his growth.

The nursery itself is beautifully designed with various play zones.

I was initially hesitant about sending my child to nursery at such a young age, but Acorn at Rowans has been instrumental in helping him thrive.
