My two girls have settled in so well to this nursery. The staff are all attentive, caring and on the ball with the kids. All of the children are happy and the nursery supports all of their needs brilliantly.

Little Acorns is a great nursery. All three of my children (who are all quite different!) have now attended, from one year old to school age, and they have all loved it. The staff are kind and friendly and really care about the children, taking time to get to know them as individuals. The nursery has a lovely outdoor area and lots of different toys and materials for them to play with. There are lots of different activities for the children to try, including dance and French, and games for the older ones designed to get them to start recognising letters, strengthening their hands for writing and counting to get them ready for school. My two boys had a great transition to school as a result, and my daughter is so happy at Little Acorns, I'll be sad when she leaves!

Both of my girls have been with the nursery from 9 months old till, primary school for my eldest, and still currently attending for my pre-schooler. The setting has been the perfect balance of small and nurturing, yet large enough to ensure they have been able to develop great social skills and communication skills with their peers. The staff are caring and have a genuine investment in your children. Sam and Katie are always flexible where they can be with managing the setting. Rosie is a fantastic room leader for the pre-schoolers, fostering a love of continuous provision and learning through play, ensuring a wonderful range of activities. My girls both love it there and Rosie ensures consistent communication with parents on our children's progress and their enjoyment.

This is a lovely nursery. It is convenient to get to, placed in a quiet village and has a secure garden for the little ones to play in. They organise different activities with children and listen to parent's requests. Staff care for the children and welcome them with a smile.

Fabulous nursery. Amazing outdoor space. The staff are all so kind and go above and beyond for the children. Food is amazing. My little boy absolutely loves it and has done since he started back in September 2024.

Little Acorns is an excellent nursery in a beautiful setting, with attentive and caring staff. Our children love going to nursery and we have seen Little Acorns massively support their development on all levels. We get regular updates on how our children are doing, events for the children and parents and regular opportunities to discuss concerns or areas of focus. Overall no complaints at all and can thoroughly recommend Little Acorns to anyone.

Excellent care provided for my little boy who attends. All the staff are professional, polite and trustworthy. My little boy is always excited to attend nursery and is happy when he is collected at the end of the day. The nursery staff listen to and address his needs, for example allowing him to have a nap in the afternoon. The nursery are keen to work on his development and update us on his progress daily or through the app.

We attended the Easter egg hunt event at Little Acorns and it was a fantastic events, very well organised, catering was beautiful and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. My daughter had a great time and hopefully they will do more events like this.

What an incredible effort from all the staff for the Easter Fun Day! There were so many activities and treats on offer throughout the morning and it felt like no expense was spared for the children and adults. It was such a lovely, enjoyable day and it really felt like everyone was having the best time. Thank you to all the staff and caregivers for putting on an amazing morning. Looking forward to the next one!

The staff at Aldbourne Avenue Nursery were really committed to settling our girls into their new nursery. They made a real effort to get to know them as quickly as possible and make them feel safe and happy. They've had regular parent's evenings to discuss their individual progress which has been really informative and professional where key workers have clearly communicated excellent knowledge of our children.

Wonderful nursery, staff are kind and caring. Have sent both my children here! Great healthy food options and always clean and tidy! The garden is wonderful for the children to be in too. There are also French lessons and walks around the village, so plenty to learn. Excellent.

We are really pleased with The Avenue in Aldbourne. It is perfect for us as we can walk to it, and our daughter strolls in very happily three mornings a week. She has a few health considerations and the team have taken them on board and do not treat her any differently to the other children and happily administer her meds without any fuss. There is always a cheery atmosphere and they seem to do lots of different entertaining activities.

It can be really awful leaving your baby with strangers but the Avenue staff made it easier. All the staff at the Avenue, Aldbourne are caring, lovely, friendly people. I think the children all love them. I think the food they provide is really good and my son loves it there.

Hands down, I recommend the Aldbourne Avenue day Nursery for your littleys. As a first-time mum, I was very anxious to let my 17-month-old into someone else's care. Each member of staff is kind and friendly which, paired with a welcoming environment, was very reassuring. There is a parents' app where they provide updates on what your nipper did/is doing throughout the day (nappy changes, what they ate, activities etc). Their website outlines the kids' 'menus' (which are prepared in-house) consisting of 3 balanced meals and snacks. Honestly, my sprog eats better than I do! This location has a large outdoor space in which the children can wander about and play every single day. Outside, they can play with trikes, climb the climbing frame or fiddle with the bark in tyres and so on. The staff provide play that helps with cognitive development too! Children get to investigate dry pasta and paint amongst other sensory items. I haven't seen any room for improvement so far. Very pleased!

Thank you to the manager and the team at the Avenue. Wonderful nursery and my little boy loves it very much. He is always smiling when I pick him up and his speech is really coming on well, as well as his confidence. Thank you all for providing such a wonderful fun, educational time at the nursery. My little boy especially enjoys drawing and playtime outside. Highly recommend. The manager and another member of staff are particularly fantastic.

Super flexible, lovely helpful friendly staff, offering year round amazing care tailored to my child and their needs. My child loves attending and has made lovely friends along the way.

My little boy (2 years) has been at The Avenue for just over a year. He is so happy there that he runs in every morning without a backward glance. He chats about his carers and what he's been up to and his days always seem to be full of fun activities. They have an app to keep me up to date with what he's been doing and eating, even though I get a good verbal update at the end of each day. The management have been very proactive in supporting my child's development and working with me on any concerns I have. I really feel that they care about each child and their individual needs. The nursery has such a lovely, friendly atmosphere and all the staff are so committed to the well-being of the children. I am so happy we decided to place our little boy at The Avenue.

My child attends the nursery and is always happy to hear he will be going to the nursery to see his key workers and friends. The staff are very knowledgeable in childcare and build wonderful connections with the children they care for. I feel confident that my child is well looked after and genuinely happy when there. Communication is very good. We have a parents' app, Facebook page, email, parents evenings and daily in-person updates.

My son has been going to The Avenue for the past couple of years. He always has a great time when he attends. All the staff are really friendly and are fantastic with the children. I highly recommend The Avenue.
