Review from Nils W (Father of Child) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't have wished for a better nursery experience for our children. From day one, the staff showed genuine care and love, treating each child as an individual. Even the admin team greet the children by name, which makes it feel like one big family. The team always put the children first, but also
understand what it means for parents to hand over their little ones each day. Both of our children quickly built strong, happy bonds with the staff and always felt secure and valued. The variety of activities has given our daughter such a rich and rounded learning experience. We feel so grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any family.

My daughter has had a wonderful experience at 7 Acorns. From day one at her settling in session I instantly felt at ease and the staff have been amazing ever since.
The observations they regularly did showed how much they knew my daughter and cared for her development.
My daughter always was happy
to attend and regularly talked about the staff and her friends at weekends etc
I would highly recommend to anyone looking at a nursery for their child due to the caring, safe and happy environment it is.

My son just finished at this nursery and is now attending school. The graduation process was really wonderful. The team created a wonderful ceremony for all of the children where they performed and then painted a coaster to keep. The left with a bag of goodies including a lovely photo and cushion. There
was also a card signed by all of the staff with specific messages to my son. Such a lovely experience for him.
Thank you

Review from Kylie T (Mother of Child) published on 23 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have two children in 7 Acorns and despite having two other nurseries on our doorstep, choose to drive every single day there, such as how great 7 Acorns is! The facilities are beautiful and their investment in equipment for the soft play area and playground, as well as the toys in each room, is outstanding.
The menu blows my mind - organic, locally sourced, and healthy. They even have lovely touches like a bookshelf, coffee machine, and working pod for parents.
What I love the most is how much my children love it (1 and 3). The staff are incredible - skilled, loving, friendly, and knowledgeable. They truly want the best for them.
Communication with parents isn't the best, but the most important stuff comes through. I think if they shared all the incredible stuff they were doing more freely each day, we'd all just be more in awe of what they do! E.g a fire engine was there recently and I only found out as I was late dropping it off. They could PR themselves more. We love 7 Acorns!

Review from Amanda S (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a fantastic nursery for our daughter. We were one of the first to join the nursery after it just opened in 2023 so we initially had some anxieties about this as other settings in Sevenoaks have years of history/reviews to troll through. in hindsight, we had nothing to worry about as the nursery
team was very friendly, collaborative and provided a stable environment for the kids. Our child has attended since she was 3 months old due to work/life pressures and the team could not have been more supportive of me during the post-partum stage. They serve only organic food (all their meals are nut and dairy-free which helps for those with allergies) and they have respected our daughter's changing dietary requirements as we have gone from breastfeeding (providing breastmilk to them), to formula feeding, to weaning. It's really become a secure and stable home away from home for our daughter and we are very happy with it so far.

Our son loves the nursery and all the staff are very kind and caring. He has been at the nursery since August 2023 and has developed incredibly. He is now walking and starting to talk. All of the staff have been very patient and helpful with us as first-time parents. The space is incredible with specific
rooms for various age groups and the care that they show towards our son is invaluable. The app also provides great updates and reassurance throughout the day. 7 Acorns is a nursery I would recommend.

We love Seven Acorns, as do our boys! The care they receive, the varied food options, and the various play and activities, all create a wonderful environment. The staff give a lot of love and attention to the boys, and I know they are well looked after. So lucky to have found this place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't express enough how pleased I am with my son's experience at this nursery. As a parent with two older children and a history of various early years settings, I can confidently say this one stands out as outstanding. The facilities are unparalleled, offering a unique environment. The staff's genuine
care is evident in every interaction, and the diverse and varied food prepared for the children is a standout feature. Last year, we faced an emergency situation, and the staff's handling of it was nothing short of amazing, following textbook practices with precision. I have complete confidence that my son is receiving the best possible care at this exceptional nursery. Five stars without a doubt!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.785)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.785) out of 10 for 7 Acorns Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.908 for 7 Acorns Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (110 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.908
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.877 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for 7 Acorns Day Nursery is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 57 number of registered child places is 11.4. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.4 = 0.877
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
