Our son has improved in speech and social skills recently. All the staff are amazing with my child, the manager Donna as well.
09 February 2026
My son attends the setting and he is so happy. He has a lovely bond with all the staff who always go above and beyond. My daughter also attended Acorns in Adel and loved it too. The activities they provide daily are fantastic and engaging. Both my children loved all the delicious meals cooked for
them and always ate well. The setting truly deserves their outstanding Ofsted they received in September. Thank you so much.

A fabulous setting! My girls are so settled and happy. I love the indoor and outdoor options to entertain them. The focused activities (e.g. penguins this week) are amazing, always something creative and educational. Food - I'm jealous! They have such a varied diet and no issue with (lots of!)
allergies. Overall, out of 3 nurseries I've had across my 3 girls, this is the best yet. I'm very happy!

My son has been attending the nursery since he was 9 months and he is now 2.5. My daughter is about to start at 9 months and I couldn't feel more comfortable and trusting in a nursery team. They have always been great at communication and I feel so happy with the service my son has had for the past
nearly 2 years. The staff are so friendly and warm. I always feel the security of the nursery is great.
The children do so many great activities and spend so much time outdoors!
My son loves it and I'm sure my daughter will too.

As my child attends Acorns for the last day, I wanted to ensure I left a FIVE STAR review for the fantastic team. He has attended for 2.5 years and I've nothing but praise for the nursery. When you take that huge step to leave your baby for the first time, the babies room is the perfect place. The
room is wonderfully welcoming with plenty of space, together with a well used outdoor area (something I really loved). Tweenies has a great flow from indoor to outdoor, with a fantastic variety of toys. Its also clear a lot of thought goes into the activities in both rooms. Its the staff that really make Acorns! Everyone has been so kind and caring, I've always felt my son was in excellent hands. The manager is wonderful, professional, approachable, and has a big heart, the children clearly adore her. My son has struggled with drop off, and she has been there (along with many others) to reassure him (and me). I can't thank you all enough and we are ever so sad to say goodbye x

My son has been at Partou Acorns since he was 1 yrs and is now leaving for primary school. We could not have chosen a better setting! Every staff member is fabulous, warm, kind, and full of fun! There's always something exciting happening, and I have cherished the cute artwork and crafts my son
brings home. The app is a gem, letting me stay in the loop with all the delightful activities and games the children enjoy. My son eats EVERYTHING in abundance at every meal, more so than at home - which tells me the food is delicious! The preschool graduation was nothing short of charming and exceeded all my expectations. The staff always go the extra mile to celebrate special occasions, and I'm consistently impressed by the love and effort that goes into these preparations. Overall, our experience at Acorns has been nothing short of fantastic, and while we are sad to leave, my son is more than ready for his next adventure, equipped for success. A huge THANK YOU to the manager & her wonderful team! Xx

A Truly Exceptional Nursery Experience - Highly Recommended!
Over the past five years, both of my children have had the joy and privilege of attending Acorns Day Nursery, and I can say with absolute confidence that I could not have wished for better care. From the very beginning, the nursery has
stood out for its deeply personalised approach to childcare. The staff take the time to truly know each child, building strong, nurturing relationships that foster trust, confidence, and happiness. The bonds they form are genuine and lasting-my children have not only thrived here but have absolutely adored their time at Acorns and the wonderful team who care for them. One of the most impressive aspects of Acorns is the remarkably low staff turnover, which speaks volumes about the supportive and professional environment. The consistency has allowed my children to build meaningful connections with familiar faces, and the staff's dedication and expertise shine through in everything they do.
11 July 2025
I have been taking my child to Acorns for over 2 years. The staff are friendly, caring and clearly enthusiastic about looking after children. From the staff in the babies room - one staff member in particular, to Tweenies, where the team, really do go over and beyond to ensure the children are
stimulated through the day through arts and crafts / outdoor and indoor play and circle time. The spaces are always filled with an array of toys whilst also being kept clean. They provide healthy balanced meals and digital updates are received regularly so you are reassured your child is having a good day. I have seen the growth in confidence and social skills my child has developed through attending. Thank you!
09 July 2025
The staff in the baby room are fantastic, our little boy has a close bond with his key worker and she does an absolutely amazing job. When our son first attended the nursery he was working through egg/milk allergy ladders and the chef at the nursery provided lovely alternatives that he could have.
We love seeing the updates/photos on the app to see what he has gotten up to during the day. Thank you Acorns!
08 July 2025
Acorns is such a lovely, warm and positive environment that my daughter has loved being in for the last 2 and a half years. She has had such lovely interactions with all the staff and we always feel their warmth towards her and the way they nurture her individual characteristics. They also focus on
fostering positive early attitudes to learning and emotional development.
I fully recommend Acorns to anyone, they really have demonstrated how the people make the place!
08 July 2025
My son has attended Acorns in Adel since he was 9 months old, he has just turned 3. I cannot praise the staff working at Acorns enough, they are friendly and welcoming and nothing is ever too much trouble. My son absolutely loves his nursery days and is so excited when I drop him off on a morning.
He loves dinosaurs and nursery have gone above and beyond to ensure a range of different dinosaur activities are provided to keep him busy, engaged and learning. I would 100% recommend Acorns in Adel and appreciate all they do.
08 July 2025
My little boy has been at Acorns for 10 months now across the younger and older babies rooms and loves going to "school" every morning! All the staff are the best part of the nursery, and the team in the babies room put so much care into their work. He's tried new foods and learned so much since
starting.
I'd love to see more comms on what they get up to during the day - the picture updates are lovely, and staff are fantastic at answering any question we have, but sometimes app updates don't come through until the next day, and it'd be great to hear about what the daily routine is like and also what activities/stories/games the children do that week - a friend's nursery does a weekly newsletter which sounds great! We'd also welcome more frequent parents evenings (we've had one so far) as they change so much at this age and we love knowing how he's getting on.
Overall a great nursery with wonderful people working there that we'd always recommend!
08 July 2025
My son has loved his time at nursery, from baby room to preschool. The staff are fantastic, creating a positive environment to learn, play and explore. There are always lots of exciting activities for the children to engage with, the staff really take an interest in what the children are interested
in and plan special activities around interests and also celebrate special occasions/events with the children. The food is great with lots of variety. I can't praise the team enough for creating such a lovely friendly welcoming environment. My son is leaving for school shortly and is well prepared for his next journey, but we will all miss the team.
30 June 2025
Our child has been with Acorns for the whole of her nursery and pre-school, from starting in the baby room to now almost finishing pre-school. All the way through we have been impressed with Acorns. The staff are really the best thing about the nursery, they feel like a family, care about the
children and build solid relationships with them. Even though my daughter left the baby room several years ago, staff there still remember her name and always say hello when we see them on the way in. The atmosphere is fun and supportive. She also loves the food! The facilities are lovely, they adapt and change the play areas as needed by the children (eg as her current class move towards starting school, the area that was a role play "home" area is now a "school" area).
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Acorns to anyone, we've had a totally positive experience and are so glad we chose them.
27 June 2025
The team in the baby room do a great job of caring for our daughter. She loves attending nursery and is involved in a wide range of activities that support her development. It is so reassuring to know that she is happy and well looked after. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents
27 June 2025
Amazing atmosphere and my daughter is very happy attending. Her key worker has a great relationship with her. Another staff member is also so friendly and positive on pick up and drop offs. It's great to know your child is in such a fun and caring environment for the day. Would recommend to anyone
27 June 2025
Absolutely fantastic nursery and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery in the area. Our daughter has attended she she was 10 months old and we cannot fault anything. She comes home so happy and constantly talking about her peers and the staff at Acorns, even on a weekend she is
asking after the staff members and her face lights up when she seems them on a Monday. She is now in Tweenies and they offer such a range of different activities - she particularly likes the singing of songs and outdoor play. The food offered on a daily basis is varied and nutritious. We cannot recommend Acorns enough.
27 June 2025
Both of my children attend this nursery, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the care and attention they receive. From day one, the staff have been warm, welcoming, and incredibly nurturing. My kids absolutely love going in each day - they've formed such lovely bonds with the staff and always
come home happy and full of stories.
It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they are in a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they are truly cared for. The team is always approachable and genuinely interested in the wellbeing and development of each child. I've seen so much growth in both of my kids - emotionally, socially, and academically.
I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a loving, professional, and engaging place for their children to grow and thrive.

My daughter has been attending for three months now (since she was 11 months old) and she loves it. She is always so happy to go and has formed a bond with all members of staff. The staff know my daughter really well and treat her with kindness and give her all the cuddles she could ever need. I
have also noticed that she is learning new things and coming on really quickly now she's settled and getting involved in activities. The babies are outside in fresh air whenever the weather allows. I like that I am updated throughout the day via the app. I would 100% reccomend this nursery.
26 March 2025
Absolutely fantastic nursery, cannot recommend it highly enough. Both my children have attended this setting, my son is still there currently in the pre school room and has been there since he was a baby and is thriving. The staff in each room are so caring, fun and really cater to the child's
individual needs, my son has bonded with each of his key workers so well. My daughter who no longer attends the nursery is 8 years old but still talks about the staff there and how much she misses them even to this day!
