Wonderful staff and amazing management team
My son developed a habit from a previous nursery he was encouraged and has stopped that

We absolutely love this nursery and more importantly, our little one loves it too. It is a lovely environment, a calm and friendly atmosphere and the staff are amazing. They do so many different activities with the children, take them on trips and always make learning fun. The chef also does an
amazing job cooking fresh food each day. Our little one has developed so much since being here and we're so glad we chose Acorn for him to grow in his first years. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, caring, all round fantastic setting for your child.

We recently moved our son to Acorn Kents Hill from another setting and the change has been amazing. The staff are genuinely kind and attentive, and it's so clear how much they value the children in their care. They've taken the time to really get to know him, his personality, the little things he
loves, and what helps him feel comfortable. He loves all the activities they set up, especially messy play!
We also really appreciate how they make an effort with the language we speak at home. They've asked us about the words he uses and try to include some of them during his day, which makes him feel more at ease and really shows how thoughtful they are.
The biggest reassurance for us is how happy he is there. We know he's excited and settled there, and more often than not he doesn't even want to leave when we pick him up. For us, that says everything. We're incredibly grateful to the whole team for creating such a warm and supportive environment for him.

Just wonderful! I literally tell EVERYONE how lucky we are to have found such an amazing nursery. My daughter's creativity, confidence and skills have blossomed while in their care. Their use of the app is amazing.

We recently moved our son to this nursery after taking him out of a previous setting, and we are absolutely blown away by the difference. Every member of staff has been incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in his wellbeing. It's clear they know him personally his interests, his
little quirks, and what makes him happy.
The daily handovers are thorough and thoughtful, and I always feel fully updated on how his day has gone. The team puts so much effort into setting up new activities each day, and they consistently support him with his personal needs in such a nurturing way.
Most importantly, he goes in smiling and comes out just as happy. That alone speaks volumes about the environment and the wonderful people who work there. We couldn't be more grateful or more impresse

Initially, we chose Kents Hill because we loved their ethos and principles about bringing children closer to nature (forest school in the oldest group), allow open play and care about the environment. I also love that the staff do Yoga sessions with the kids.
The nursery staff is always so
friendly at drop and pick-ups that shows they thoroughly enjoy being there and caring for my daughter with kindness. I love seeing the pictures and reports of what she is up to and it provides me a window to her little world away from home. They really try to expand the children's horizon and extend their learning by being in tune with their likes and interests.

A fantastic nursery with a warm and nurturing environment! The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and always go the extra mile to make learning fun and engaging. Our children enjoy coming here, and we've seen so much growth and confidence in them. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a
safe and happy place for their little one

Both our kids attended Acorn at Kents Hill and it is the best nursery! The manager and her team really care about the wellbeing of the children, from the outdoor activities, to healthy diets, to development of the kids. Our kids are in safe hands and they love going to nursery every day!

Great staff and lots of activity provided for the children. My little one is very happy at the nursery and development wise has been so good.
The staff are very considerate and full of passion for the children and you know that your little one is being looked after.

Acorn nursery provides outstanding care for my daughter & did for my older daughter who also attended. All the staff are so lovely & approachable. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else.
It's helped my children so much with their learning & development. We absolutely love it!

Acorn at Kents Hill is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has been here for over a year and she is thriving. The staff are amazing, caring and very enthusiastic. My daughter has a key person at the nursery so we get regular updates on her progress. At the end of each pick up day there is always a
chance to catch up as well. Management here is fantastic. The manager is very hands on within the nursery and hosts some lovely events throughout the year where parents are invited to spend time with their child in nursery.
12 March 2025
My son has been attending Acorn at Kents Hill since September 2024 and he absolutely loves it. He is currently in the Acorn room and is thriving. He can be a fussy eater at home but eats pretty much most meals and snacks served by their fab chef on site. They have plenty of activities for the
children to participate in and they go on lots of trips outside of the nursery. He loves his Key person who is lovely. All members of the Acorn room treat him as if they were his key person. They are all so friendly and caring and communication is great. I'm glad a space opened up for him and I couldn't imagine him being at a nicer setting.

Excellent Nursery and staff have and no issues at all. The provide the children with a great variety of health homemade food. The outdoor activities are above and beyond which includes forest school in and off the premises. My child loves and the staff are great

Our daughter has been attending Acorn Day Nursery at Kents Hill since she was 18 months, she is now 3. Ever since day one she has loved going!
She has developed and flourished so much since attending. The staff know her so well and build activities and learning opportunities which meet her needs,
giving her new challenges regularly. The management and room teams are just amazing! They are so focused on delivering an enriched learning environment.
Their in house chef prepares and delivers the most amazing menu, very rarely does my little one not eat all of the food offered.

A wonderful nursery that I highly recommend to anyone I know with young children. A nurturing, clean, supportive atmosphere with plenty of opportunities for development play and experiences. I could not be happier and have had both my children attend here. The staff clearly care about my child
(including my onset child who has left now) and know him extremely well.

I am so pleased with our nursery choice, our daughter has been attending for a year now, since 11 months old and I cannot fault anything about the nursery! The care and effort put in to the children, the nursery environment, and activities, more than shows. Staff are professional, approachable,
great at communicating and most of all clearly passionate about the work they do and the children's care, development and safety. The nursery invests in regular training for staff and are always looking to improve which is fantastic. With the focus on outdoor play and natural sensory play and furniture my daughter has thrived and genuinely loves going to nursery!
