My son (3yrs) and daughter (1yrs) attend Acorns. We have always been very happy there. Both settled in well. Despite being a big nursery they show such care and attention to each child's personality. The preschool activities and facilities are exceptional. Especially the forest school. They organise
events for the children like a Christmas concert.

Acorns is a wonderful nursery which offers plenty of outdoor space for the children to learn and grow. The staff are compassionate, friendly and caring, who go above and beyond every day to make sure a day at Acorns is one of fun, curiosity and kindness. The food the children have is brilliant.
Acorns isn't the closest nursery to us geographically but we feel it's worth the extra travel because of the experience our children have there.

Very happy with our son's care in nursery. The staff looking after him are lovely and he likes his key workers, they have a great freshly-cooked menu everyday, and lots of fun and creative activities for the children everyday. They have helped with his development in different ways too. They have a
fabulous outdoor garden which our little nature lover adores.

We are so happy we found this amazing nursery in Bristol. Our son joined in March 2024 and from the very beginning the staff were incredibly supportive, kind and professional. I am always in awe of the activities they come up with for the children and am never worried to leave him in their care.
Thank you so much to everyone at Acorns for all that you do.

My daughter has been very happy at Acorns over the last 6 months. I was apprehensive about the size as my son attended a very small family run nursery but I shouldn't have been worried! The staff are brilliant, so attentive and caring, and even though it is big it has a very personalised and cosy
atmosphere. They have plenty of very longstanding staff members and it is very well organised. Highly recommended!

Lovely staff and nursery. They helped my daughter settle in so quickly and really meet all her needs. She loves her days at nursery and everyday does lots of different activities like playing in the garden, painting, sensory sessions and music. Couldn't be happier with the nursery.
17 March 2026
Great nursery all around. The staff are very attentive and caring. Both of my children attended this nursery, and I never considered any other. The children are well supported in their development. The building and the garden are amazing - I don't know any other nursery that can boast such a
setting.
17 March 2026
We've had a really positive experience with this nursery so far. The environment is always clean, well organised and feels very welcoming for children. There are lots of engaging activities planned throughout the day, which keeps the children stimulated and learning through play.
The staff are
friendly and attentive, and it's clear they genuinely care about the children in their care. It gives me peace of mind knowing my daughter is in a safe and nurturing environment where she can explore, learn and have fun. Overall, I'm very happy with the nursery and I have recommend it to other parents.
17 March 2026
Our daughter absolutely loves coming to this nursery. The staff are always so friendly, welcoming, and clearly care a lot about the children. It's lovely to see how happy and comfortable she is there each day.
The outdoor space is fantastic and gives the children plenty of room to play, explore,
and enjoy being outside. It's clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating a fun and safe environment for them.
We're really pleased with the care she receives and would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

My child started here in December and immediately I felt at home at Acorns (Henbury).
The managers & staff that generally greet us at the door - particularly Mary, Natalie and Kristy - are so warm to both me and my child and I know he's in good hands.
Lots of my friends send their children
here too and all have the same experience.

The staff at Acorns is more like a family to me. Each individual person makes a clear effort to connect with the children, each other and you as a parent. I personally enjoyed getting to know them during pick ups and drop offs and I always got a positive, engaged and switched-on attitude from
everyone. There can be changes, observations and or questions that as a nervous mum one wants to make and the managers have always been there to discuss and make adjustments happen and or explain the context. My daughter was at Acorns since she was 11 months old until she was 3 years and a couple of months - and if we were not moving countries she would've stayed until preschool. I miss the staff, the smiles, the stories they would tell me of my daughters day and personality. They make Acorns a wonderful place. Special shoutouts to Natalie, Siobhan, Kristy, Mary, Lauren, Violeta, Manhar, Tracy, Ruby, Aneesha, Chloe, Savannah, Charlie, Leanne, the gardeners and the fruit delivery guy!!!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Acorns Nursery Henbury Hill.
Our son joined in February 2024 and moved to full time in August. From the very beginning, the team were incredibly understanding when we had to delay his official start date due to illness. That compassion and flexibility
set the tone for everything that followed.
The staff are kind, supportive, highly skilled, and clearly experts in early years care and development. The activities are thoughtful, engaging, and genuinely lovely. The meals seem wholesome and nutritious.
Most importantly, our son absolutely loves his time there. He is happy, stimulated, and thriving. We never have any worries about the standard of care.
The culture, policies, and facilities are all excellent. The nursery has genuinely exceeded our expectations of what childcare can look like, and we feel very lucky to have them as part of our our support network.
Thank you to the whole team for everything you do!

The staff are friendly, helpful and open. My daughter is always excited to see them when I drop her off. They have a great building with lots of outdoor space and they always make an effort to come up with new and seasonal activities for the children to do. I feel they make a real effort to involve
parents with daily updates, regular parent evenings and stay and play sessions.

Our son has been with Acorns Henbury Hill for nearly two years and it's the most wonderful place. The staff are absolutely lovely and our little guy adores them. The site is wonderful, large and airy and there is tons of outdoor space. They are out in the gardens in all weathers and there is so much
to do. We used a different nursery for our first child and that was pretty good, but Acorns has been another level. The combination of the staff, environment, site and effort everyone there makes. We couldn't recommend it highly enough.
17 April 2023
Very happy with Acorns. Aware of what other nurseries offer and appreciate the variety of experiences available to the children. Great debriefs at the end of each day and feel like the staff really care. Thank you.
