We are so grateful to all the lovely ladies in Acorns Duffryn for all the care and support over the past few years. Jackson has made some lovely friends, grown in confidence, independence, and curiosity, and has loved his time here. The staff have always been approachable and caring, and it's clear
how much they value each child. We feel Jackson is leaving well-prepared and happy as he starts Welsh nursery school. He will miss you all dearly. Thank you for everything, Becky and Steve

Excellent nursery! It provided a lovely, caring, clean, environment for my child. She was always excited to go back and learned lots of things and did lots of creative projects.
Special thanks to Ellie.

My son had a wonderful time at Acorns Duffryn. The staff are so caring and my son was clearly happy and comfortable in their care. The food is good and there is a wide range of activities. I loved all the things my son made at nursery and bought home. We were able to go to work relaxed knowing our
child was in the best care possible. Thank you to everyone who has been involved over the past year and a half.

My daughter had a truly wonderful time at Acorns Duffryn. Staff have been so caring and the individualised support and care has been fantastic. The children are blessed with good food and a wide range of activities. I particularly loved all the things my daughter made at nursery and brought back
home. She particularly enjoyed the wonderful outdoor facility the nursery had to offer and the range of caring staff. We were able to go to work relaxed knowing our child was in the best care possible. Thank you to everyone who has been involved over the past two years.

My daughter started in Blossom Group in Acorns Duffryn in October 2024. Since starting I have been so grateful for all the love and care shown to her by all the staff at Acorns Duffryn. We love finding out about all the things she has been getting up to during the day - from arts and crafts, to
playing outdoors, to reading, singing and sensory play. We feel Acorns Duffryn was 100% the best choice for our little one.

My experience (mostly my child's experience) has been totally awesome. She has thoroughly enjoyed her stay in the nursery and there haven't been any issues up to date.
05 March 2025
Fantastic experience so far. My young son has really settled in well. Due to the lovely staff. Even though he's so young, he does enjoy his time in nursery.
05 March 2025
Our child started at Acorns Duffryn in September 2024 and has nothing but an amazing experience. The workers are fantastic, tentative, caring and friendly. The workers take a genuine interest in our child and are always keen to tell us about his day.

From the moment we came to view Acorns Duffryn, we knew this was the place we wanted our son to go to. Our son has settled in really well and to see his progress is wonderful. We would recommend the nursery in a heartbeat.

My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery. We are so pleased. All of the children are always happy, content and smiling and as a parent you can't ask for anything more.

Very friendly staff really engaging with families and children. Very professionally run. Always communicate with us well if there have been any issues or problems. It's really helped our daughter's development and she always seems so happy there. Would highly recommend it to any friend or any family
members.

Acorns Duffryn is simply lovely. Our daughter has attended since she was 18 months old, she's now 4. She has lovely stories to tell each day and comes home with handfuls of books, crafts and other exciting activities. She adores her key carers (she calls them teachers) and is always happy to spend
time with them. She loves yoga, sports and other additional activities they do. Personally, I feel very comfortable whilst I go to work knowing my girl is safe and loved at nursery.
27 February 2025
Our children are thriving at the nursery. It's a calm and very welcoming nursery with caring and wonderful staff. I feel that my children are safe and well looked after. They have already built amazing relationships. I feel the nursery always has my children's best interests at heart. We love this
nursery.

Acorns Duffryn have been incredibly supportive to both of our children since they started.
The site is always welcoming, clean, friendly and staff are always approachable. Every day is different with engaging activities and adventures - and forest school especially is a brilliant offering.
They
are always fed well (sometimes will request seconds or thirds!) and enjoy the menu choices.

We have had a really positive experience at Acorns Duffryn. Staff are caring, considerate and sensitive to parents’ needs as well as the children. The settling-in process was great - we felt our little one was getting the best possible chance to familiarise herself with her key workers and the
setting. The nursery environment is always clean, welcoming and homely. We love receiving updates and photographs on the app showing the fun she’s having during her day. The outdoor space is also brilliant with age-appropriate zones and special care is made to help support children to meet their developmental milestones. The artwork and books that are brought home also enable you to feel involved in their nursery day which is lovely - I am looking forward to coming along to the Mother’s Day afternoon tea and craft session! Communication is also great, we are regularly updated via email about any changes or important information and managers are always available.

Acorns Dyffryn is in their own league as a nursery provider. I wouldn't be able to find a bad word to say. The building is beautiful and always well-maintained and clean. All the staff are exceptional. So kind and caring and genuinely believe they care for them as their own. The menu is miles ahead
of other nurseries, my daughter has eaten such a variety of meals and food due to this. My daughter has developed so much in her time at Acorns. She runs in delighted to see the staff and her friends, who she has such a close bond with. She even waves and knows the names of the nursery staff who don't care for her, which shows the impression the staff make on the children. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough and when she goes to school it will be such a loss to us for her not to attend anymore.

Amazing nursery. Settled our daughter when we were very nervous. Offered extra settling-in sessions and recommended extra time to settle her.
Always have brilliant activities and messy play.
Lovely outside space and babies are taken outside regularly.
Wonderful inside space. Extremely clean and
tidy.
They have a chef, gardener and housekeepers (this means the nursery workers don't have to clean up).
Very communicative and kind staff.
I call each lunchtime on the day my daughter goes in and they're always happy to update.
Now have an app with updates for their day and photos.
She always comes out clean and tidy and all her stuff is kept clean and tidy.
Our daughter always enjoys her food.
More expensive than other nurseries but is worth it.
08 March 2024
My little one is coming on leaps and bounds here. Great communication with all staff when I've needed it. Fabulous spaces for all groups. Modern communication for parents to be updated at all times on activities. One of the best in the area.

I viewed quite a few nurseries when my son was needing to attend and Acorns Duffryn was our favourite by far. The cosy, large house setting with separate rooms for each of the different groups was much more preferable to us than the other nurseries that just had one giant room with a separation in
between. Another amazing feature was the chef on-site! We were amazed at the menu and variety of food all the children were exposed to. My daughter now attends, from 7 months, and there was no hesitation in us putting her in here as the staff are so lovely and professional, the children do so many fun activities and I feel my son is getting very well prepared by them to start school in September.
27 February 2024
My daughter started here a few months ago and is excelling. She adores all the staff and is very happy and content here. They do a brilliant job.
They keep parents well informed of their children's progression throughout the day which is a great asset.
