My little one started at Acorn Stony Stratford in September last year and he is have a lovely time. The nursery was exceptional in settling him in, with several sessions at different times of day to familiarise him with the surroundings. He loves the focus on outside play, including playing in the
garden with the chickens. Most importantly, the care he has received has been exceptional. He is always happy to go to nursery and the team pay close attention to him and have clearly taken the time to get to know him well.

This is by far one of the nicest and welcoming nursery I have picked up or dropped off a grandchild at. The staff are caring and so engaged in the children and their well being.
It is professional in its running and safety of everything and everyone. They do wonderful activities and have themed
days. The outside area is relatively small but it's full of fun and space to let of steam It's truly a gem in Stony Stratford

My toddler has been at this nursery for over a year and thrives in the environment! Great communication and care from staff, a variety of activities for the children to get involved with or simply make use of all the toys and spaces on their own/ with their peers. The team has fully supported with
my toddlers toilet training, nap dropping and exposure to a variety of nutritious foods while in their care. 10/10 would recommend.

We are so impressed with Acorn Stony Stratford! We recently moved our daughter to here from another local nursery.
Acorn Stony Stratford has a focus on development and we've been really happy to see the teaching of independence skills such as culterly use, putting on coats etc.
The day-to-day
activities are varied and include regularly taking the children out. Our daughter has enjoyed trips to the library as well as walks around Stony Stratford.
The consistent approach to key workers is reassuring and has allowed our daughter to settle quickly.
The food menu is also varied and caters for our daughter's dietary needs.
Overall, we think it's great!

Amazing staff, that put 100% into everyday. My child loves attending and comes home everyday having done some fun and educational activities. They keep the days engaging and fun for the kids!
Can't speak highly enough about them!

The staff at Acorn are truly vested in the interests of each child. My granddaughter started nursery there this year and is absolutely thriving. She is exposed to so much stimulation as far as play and other activities are concerned, and is enjoying trying different foods. We get regular updates and
child safety and security are stringently adhered too. That said the staff are all so approachable and easy to chat with. I also have experience of a grandson who graduated from this nursery and he absolutely thrived here.

My son has just moved up to Oaks, so I wanted to review his time in squirrels. He has had such an enriching experience this past year, and has continuously amazed us with the things he's learned (and retained!) from nursery. Louise built an incredible relationship both with our son and us as his
parents. She completely understands our little man, his quirks and how to best manage his behaviours in a nurturing (and humorous) way. And all the staff go over and above on a daily basis to provide clear and detailed feedback throughout the day as well as upon collection. Both my children have absolutely loved their time with Acorns. Our only regret is that it's not suitable for big kids like my husband and I.

Fantastic location, setting and atmosphere for my children. I always feel safe and comfortable leaving my children. Since attending, my children have developed in leaps and bounds thanks to the support and care they receive from the team. The staff are very professional and always open to feedback,
which I really appreciate as a parent. The practitioners are amazing and genuinely treat my children as their own. I'm very greatful for the care and dedication they show every day.

Toby is my 2nd grandchild to go to the nursery. The staff fill the children's days with such fun & educational activities from weighing ingredients for pancakes, making a fire outside to cook them & trips to parks, library, on the bus & of course, the allotment.
I remember Toby eating peas with
his rice dinner from last years allotment crop.
So a wide range of challenging experiences & treats eg hot chocolate sat on logs outside in nursery garden !!

I couldn't recommend Acorns Nursery enough. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth and genuine dedication of the staff. The team go above and beyond to ensure every child feels safe, supported, and valued as an individual.
The activities are laid out each morning and are engaging,
educational, and fun, helping the children grow in confidence. I love the ethos of Acorns.
Communication with parents is excellent, giving real peace of mind. I couldn't be happier with the nurturing, positive start they've given our children.

Stony is a great we wouldn't send our child anywhere else. Our child is always always looked after with such great care, she always has a smile on her face when picked up followed by a detailed handover of her day by the team!
She can be a bit funny going in but the staff make handovers in the
morning so easy a reduce any mum guilt I may have.
We love that they have so much access to the outside and have 2 designated play spaces to use. There is always such a range of activities throughout the day to keep her busy.

My son loves his time at Acorn Nursery. We very rarely have have any trouble at drop off - he obviously feels very happy and safe there. The staff are friendly and cheerful, as all seem to have a genuine affection for the children. The ethos of the nursery, with lots of outdoor time, creative play
and fun activities really aligns with our values. The children are well supported in their development, and we receive regular writeups in addition to the information we get at evening handover.

Two grandsons have attended this nursery. Both have blossomed in their attitude and confidence thanks to the staff and the variety of activities both indoor and out. They love going each day and look forward to seeing their peers.

My two children have been attending Acorn at Stony since they were both 10 months old. My son is now 4 years old and still thoroughly enjoys going to nursery. He especially loves Forest School, the woodland garden, and all the messy activities thoughtfully set out by the staff.
My daughter, who
is nearly 2, walks into nursery happily every single day without any upset. Both of my children have built such wonderful relationships with all the staff. We truly appreciate everything they do and couldn't be happier with the care, support, and nurturing environment they provide for our children.
26 February 2026
Our child has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Acorn Stony Stratford. They have learned so many new skills and love going every day. They love to be outdoors so the forest garden and forest school are their absolute favourite. It is the best choice we could have made for them!
18 February 2026
We have had a brilliant experience at stony Stratford nursery Both our children have learned so much. Staff have always been extremely professional our children have a lovely bond with their teachers and feel safe. Great to see their development progress. They have also tried new foods at nursery
which they wouldn't touch at home and loved it.

Both kids have now attended Acorn and they absolutely love it there - my just turned 4 year old can tie a knot by himself! Love the Acorn ethos, the staff and everything about the group. Would HIGHLY recommend.
10 February 2026
We're so happy with this nursery. The team are caring, attentive, and really focused on our child's individual needs, with lovely updates on his development. The outdoor space and freshly cooked food were big positives for us too. After 18 months, from baby room to big room, he's thrived in such a
fun, nurturing environment. We feel very lucky to have found it.

We all love Acorn @ Stony Stratford! My eldest was in and now my 2 year old has had a place since she was 9 months old! Both my kids love the nursery and all the staff! As a parent we get great communication from the staff and lots of lovely updates and pictures! I couldn't recommend it enough!
10 April 2025
My daughter has attended the nursery for two years now and has loved it from the start. The activities are vast and her days are always different. The staff are so welcoming and lovely. Friendships have blossomed, my daughter's confidence has grown and she's thriving. I couldn't recommend Acorn
more. The communication both via the App and at pickup, can't be faulted.
