We are continually impressed with the nursery. Acorns at Westcroft has been such a good environment to nurture our son's development. I have recently been impressed with how the staff listen to him and make nursery activities suited to his likes and interests. This includes dancing to his favourite songs!

I cannot praise this nursery enough! My child has special educational needs (SEN), and from the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly supportive, understanding, and proactive. They've not only taken the time to get to know my child and his needs but have also gone above and beyond to make changes and accommodations to help him feel comfortable and included. The staff are amazing - patient, caring, and always ready to offer advice and guidance. They've made what could have been a very stressful experience feel positive and reassuring. The environment is warm, welcoming, and truly nurturing. It's such a relief as a parent to know your child is in a place where they are valued and supported. I'm so grateful for everything the team has done and continues to do for us. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent, especially those with children who may need a bit of extra support.

My daughter and I started in september and we are more than happy here. The staff have made my little girls transition from her old nursery to here very smooth and she comes home happy everyday. They always listen to what me and her dad have put in place and always follow our rules. My little girl loves it here and i can see that on her face when she gets excited to see the staff when we come in. They help with her development everyday and always have positive things to say. Thank you to you all for making us feel so welcome!!!

A brilliant nursery that always has time to listen. My daughter always enjoys all of the activities the nursery provides, from forest school to yoga. The nursery practitioners always have the time to tell me how her day has been and update me on all of the fun things she has been up to. I especially enjoy keeping up to date on her progress on the app. Keeping track of what she's eaten and how much, what she's done for the day and what development she's made The nursery is on the pricier side but you get so much more than what you pay for

Our child's only been going for a month so far and we're already very impressed by Acorn Westcroft. The staff have been absolutely brilliant - always so kind, reassuring and genuinely helpful. They've gone above and beyond to make sure all of our child's needs are met, which has made such a difference to us as parents. Every day is filled with a wide variety of activities, and it's clear how much fun he has while he's there. We've really noticed his progress since joining, both in confidence and development. It's such a comfort to know he's in such a caring, supportive environment. We're so grateful to the whole team, but especially to Lauren, Eleanor and Courtney, for the wonderful care they provide!

My child has been attending nursery here for 4 months, she has grown so much into an independent child and has learnt a lot since being there. The staff are very friendly and professional, they are very helpful and have great knowledge.

We are so happy with the nursery. My child started when he was 17 months old, and it was his very first experience in a nursery setting. His key person went above and beyond to support him through the transition. She was consistently warm and attentive, always ready with a comforting cuddle. She made a genuine effort to connect with him by learning a few words in his first languages. When she found out we use British Sign Language at home, she began incorporating signs into their interactions at nursery as well. I also really appreciate that there's a new activity for the children each day. The nursery's direct access to the garden means the children spend lots of time outdoors, which is wonderful. The management and front office team have always been welcoming and helpful. I especially valued the home visit before the first settling-in - it made a real difference and helped us all feel at ease. Everything from start to finish has been smooth and supportive - highly recommend!

We've had a fantastic experience with the team at Acorn Westcroft. The management and front office staff have been incredibly welcoming, caring, and professional-this really came through in every interaction, from our initial enquiry to onboarding. What stood out most for us was the home visit, which was such a thoughtful touch and really helped our little one build early trust with the staff. Everything has been smooth and reassuring from start to finish. Highly recommend!

My son has been attending Acorn since he turned 2. He is now 4. And he has grown and thrived there. He loves his teachers. I love how they take care of him and that I can view his progress and daily activities on the App. I also like that they have an inhouse chef and are served freshly made meals.

Westcroft has always shown great care for our two children. I fully trust the staff and my sons have thrived there. The daily range of activities seems great and I can always trust they receive a fully balanced diet when they go there.

My nearly 3 year old has been attending Acorn Day Nursery Westcroft since June 2024. When he first started, it took a while for him to settle but the staff were exceptional throughout this time of change and ensured my son had a home-from-hone experience. Staff are so caring, kind, we are always greeted with a smile when we come through the door. They want the best for each child and since attending my son's interest and love of books has broadened massively as well as his love of singing and dancing! He has also come out of his shell (he is quiet around large groups and tends to be quite independent) but staff have encouraged him to play in larger groups with the other children and role-play. I have seen a big difference in him because of this. He is talking much more than when he initially started. Staff have been amazing supporting our son with potty training. Management are fantastic and ensure the children's safety is priority. My son enjoys going to nursery so I can't thank them enough!

My son has just started the nursery and we are so happy with how well he has settled in. We are given regular updates which puts our mind at ease. The staff are amazing and it's lovely to see how much the children love the staff. We are so glad we chose Acorn Westcroft!

The staff members I have come across have always been friendly and approachable. They care deeply for the children and I feel safe in the knowledge that my children are well looked after. I recently viewed a preschool for my daughter, who is about to turn 3, and actually decided against sending her there because I felt that she had better opportunities for school readiness at Acorn. The children in all rooms have a variety of activities offered to them and my two children absolutely thrive at the nursery. There is always messy play out and they go outdoors in all weather. The communication with parents is fantastic. We get to see numerous photos every day of what the children are up to and have the chance to attend things, such as first-aid courses, which are very relevant and beneficial to parents of young children. All-in-all we are extremely happy with our decision to choose Acorn at Westcroft.

It's clearly noticeable how our daughter is developing and learning new skills every day thanks to their dedicated staff! We also appreciate how great the staff are at communicating with the parents. Big thanks to the entire staff!

Lovely nursery, my little boy always looks forward to going in. He always enjoys all the messy play activities. The outside area is also really good for him to run around and play. The staff are always very friendly.

I couldn't be happier with Acorn Day Nursery in Westcroft! My daughter looks forward to going every single day. The entire staff is exceptional, with a wonderful approach to children and excellent communication with parents. The meals provided are delicious, and my daughter thoroughly enjoys them. The program is diverse, filled with engaging and educational activities that foster both fun and development. I also appreciate the opportunities for parents to visit the nursery, such as open days or festive events like Christmas parties. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parents looking for a nurturing and inspiring environment for their children. It has truly been a fantastic choice for our family!

Lovely nursery with amazing, caring, friendly staff. Our little one is looked after by all the workers at Acorns, with most if not all knowing her name and able to engage with her to make her feel settled and confident within the nursery. The workers encourage independent play alongside giving support to the children when need it, I can't complain my child's needs are not met. Great range of activities for the children throughout the day and week to keep them entertained, both indoors and outdoors. Meal times are ranged very well, with our little one trying various different foods that we perhaps wouldn't give her. Love Acorn Nursery and know that our little one is well cared for when she is there.
