The staff are always friendly, approachable and professional. They have helped in dealing with behavioural problems and also been supportive to the family when needed.
We are given lots of information including photos of her progress which is lovely.
Her key worker attends the necessary meetings
and helps with her progress reports including suggestions of further help.
Forest school provides the children with the adventure they need, and a garden provides opportunities to run around and explore. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Stanwick Acorn nursery to others.

All three of my children have gone to Acorn, Stanwick and the nursery has only got better! The staff are all so amazing and really think out side the box to let the children explore during play! My daughter loves how much time they spend outside, the secret garden, forest school and spotting horses
around the village!
I can't recommend Acorn enough, they really make the children feel part of a big family!

Both of my children attend Stanwick Acorns, and we couldn't be happier with their care.
Both are excited to attend nursery, and come home excited to tell us about everything they have been doing.
The staff are kind and engaging and we get very regular updates of what the children have been up to,
alongside more detailed assessments with areas we can collectively support for further development. It feels like the staff are all fully invested in our children alongside us, and we are so grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery!

Two of our children have been through Acorn nursery in Stanwick, we have had a great experience throughout, staff are brilliant and kids love the forest school experience. Plenty of trips to the garden and local park. Would recommend wholeheartedly.

Acorn Nursery are outstanding in the care and attention they provide for our children. There are opportunities each day for the children to explore outside in safe environments, village walks and forest school activities. The meals provided are balanced and full of nutrients. The staff are all
absolutely lovely and our children settled really well from a young age.

Choosing a nursery is a big decision, but Acorns Stanwick has been the perfect fit. The staff provide a gentle, nurturing atmosphere that has really helped our son thrive. We've been particularly impressed by the outdoor-focused activities, which we feel are so important at this age. Seeing him
engage in important learning and play outside is wonderful for his development. He always tells us about the Forest School.
They do so many activities across all the rooms and the children love them .
The staff are professional, warm, and clearly dedicated to what they do.
Our son always goes in the nursery with the biggest smile on his face in the mornings .
Couldn't be more happier with the choice we made 3 years ago when our little man started this nursery.

Our son Reuben has attended Acorns in Stanwick since he was an infant. 3 years down the line and we cannot recommend these guys enough. Reuben loves it and the staff are lovely.
Reuben gets all the emotional and educational support he needs. We love that they spend a lot of time outside and that
all the toys are made of natural materials and not cheap plastic.
They are also open during term time so we dont have to worry about taking time off or child chare during these periods.
Being a not for profit organisations the fees are also affordable.

Acorns is a wonderful, caring nursery with brilliant outdoor learning (we love the forest school element) and a lovely range of activities and meals. Our daughter loves it here and has made a lot of great friends. We feel totally reassured knowing she's in such a safe, nurturing place.
03 February 2026
We are extremely happy with this nursery and couldn't recommend it more highly.
The staff are kind, patient, and genuinely care about each child's wellbeing and development. I especially love that the children are taken outside every day, whatever the weather, and the forest school is absolutely
amazing. It's wonderful to see how much confidence, independence, and curiosity this builds in the children. The environment is safe, welcoming, and stimulating, with plenty of activities that support learning through play.
Communication with parents is excellent, and it's so reassuring to know our child is happy, settled, and well looked after every day.
Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you all put into caring for the children's.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My daughter has attended the squirrels room and is now in Oaks - she absolutely loves going to nursery and her confidence has just come on leaps and bounds since attending. I was so nervous sending her to nursery but after viewing and meeting all the staff all
my fears disappeared and I'm so so glad I chose this one. Every single member of staff I've come across is absolutely lovely and you can tell they truly love and nurture the children. They get to explore so much - one of the reasons I chose this nursery was for the forest school aspect as my daughter loves being outdoors and I'm so impressed with how much the children learn and get to experience, the crafts they get to do etc. The app updates are extremely thorough and really shares an insight into what the children get up to in the day. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and am looking forward to my son attending this year :)

We absolutely love this nursery and everything they do for our boys. It truly feels like a home from home. Every single member of staff is so kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the children. We especially love the outdoor element - both of our boys thrive being outside, and the addition of
forest school for our eldest has been amazing. He has absolutely loved the campfires and outdoor adventures. It really is such a lovely nursery, and we feel incredibly lucky that our children get to go here.

I honestly couldn't love this nursery any more!
I have one child currently in the oaks room, but have been using the nursery for the past 7 years as I have an older one at school.
The nursery facilities are fabulous, both my boys love forest school, the secret garden and the allotment.
Being
outside was a huge part of the choice of nursery for us and this has not disappointed one bit.
The staff are wonderful! From the team the looks after the children, through to the lovelies in the office, they are all kind and helpful and willing to go the extra mile.
Making the decision to leave your child somewhere "alone" is not easy, but I honestly couldn't felt more relaxed and happy knowing how well he is cared for.
Thank you

Both our son and daughter having been going to Stanwick nursery since they were around 1 year old. They settled well into the baby room and all the ladies in there are brilliant at supporting the transition into nursery and providing all the cuddles that are needed.
My eldest will be finishing his
nursery journey at the end of August to start school. He has loved his time at acorns and has always gone into nursery with a big smile on his face and skip in his step.
We have found the team in the oaks room truly incredible, they have nurtured and supported learning in a fun and exciting way and spend lots of time outdoors, which is much needed for an energetic little boy. He has really enjoyed the forest school sessions which he has attended much more since being in Oaks.
The office team are fantastic and very fast to respond to any queries.
I think a really positive sign of a nursery is seeing longstanding staff and a varied age of staff with many years of experience.

What a wonderful nursery!!
Our little boy have been attending for over 3.5 years and loves it!
All the staff are very friendly, caring and the level of communication that we receive following from each session is very informative.
All facilities of the nursery are great, and the outdoor space
they use is brilliant and always get the children involved in growing/ building various things which our little boy loves to do!
06 August 2025
All staff are friendly, happy to help and have connected well with both of my children at Acorns. My eldest leaves the setting in August and I feel the nursery has prepared him well for School in September.

Our experience with Acorn nursery has been excellent, Our daughter has been here 3 days a week since 1 years old moving into school this year and it's transformed her into a clever , confident amazing little girl . I cannot praise the staff that has looked after her through this time enough .
Professional , clean and welcoming environment , brand new room recently that is very impressive . Very secure and safety of the child in mind .
Very pleased with where she has been for a very critical stage of her life to set her up for school

We feel so lucky to have our little girl attend nursery here. Our daughter was 9 months old when she started and it was a tough decision to find the right nursery (especially after only living in the local area for a month). It's safe to say it was absolutely the right decision, we totally landed on
our feet. The staff are wonderful! kind and caring with our little girl. We've seen her development come on leaps and bounds and love that it's all child-led learning and play. The app is amazing and keeps us parents updated with their activities, observation reports (which i love - especially the photos and write ups) and general events throughout the day (food, changing times, milk times, naps etc). The meal options are wonderful, our daughter is vegetarian and she has a wonderful variety + the protein she needs to grow healthily. We fell in love with the forest school/secret garden outdoor areas + village walks. It's a beautiful nursery filled with equally wonderful people!

Our son is currently in his final room at Acorns and is absolutely thriving. He is a very outdoorsy boy which is one of the reasons we chose this setting and the Oaks team clearly all share the passion for the outdoors. We've also noticed that the team really focus on an individuals likes and help
them to express themselves in a productive and positive way.
The insights shared on the app are great and allow us to see which areas our son is particularly enjoying at the moment, we also use the app to upload things we have been doing in our own time which the team then discuss with him.
Whenever there have been issues with behaviour the team communicate this well and allow us to see what might be causing it and any actions we might want to implement at home.
I'm so pleased that this is the setting he will be in before he starts school and feel it will have set him up well for his next steps.
03 March 2025
My daughter is always excited to go to nursery which proves that she is happy being there. I feel relaxed knowing she is being taken care of evidenced by photos and communication with the staff via the app. Lovely nursery, a good environment and caring staff.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Acorn Day Nursery (Stanwick) to anyone. When I describe it to anyone, I tell them it's exactly how you would want a nursery to be, in every capacity.
All the ladies in the Acorn (baby) room are so friendly, so warm and so loving towards the children and I've never
had any concerns. Our daughter's key worker in particular is exceptional and the bond she has with my daughter is so special. Seeing how much our daughter has flourished since she's been in the Acorn room has been incredible. It looks like she has so much fun every day, so many great opportunities, and incredible food and I love the developmental updates we get regularly too.
Whilst the nursery is further than we would have liked to travel, I'd happily travel further for the exceptional care my daughter gets.
It's all a parent could ask for, and I'm so happy with our decision to put our daughter into this nursery.
