The pre-school room is really well organised and staff are quick to respond to any questions on the Family app. All the staff are kind and patient and I can tell my son is very comfortable with them. I have nothing bad to say. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to friends and family.",

SEND provision

Key persons know the children well and plan ahead to meet their individual needs. For children who find transitions in the daily routines difficult, staff reassure them, talk to them about their feelings and then distract them successfully.

My son has been really happy at Acorns, he's so excited to go in every morning. His key worker has really helped with his eating and the staff work so hard to come up with creative ways to teach the Early Years curriculum through play and crafts. The pre-school room is really well organised and staff are quick to respond to any questions on the Family app. All the staff are kind and patient and I can tell my son is very comfortable with them. I have nothing bad to say. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to friends and family.

My daughter started attending the nursery in February 2023 and I am so pleased we chose for her to go here. Her development has come on leaps and bounds and despite a slightly unsettled start all the staff have been amazing in encouraging her to come out of her shell and she loves spending her days in the snug. Would 100% recommend!

Phenomenal nursery. Was so daunting dropping our little one off somewhere unknown but she has come on leaps and bounds under their care. She has grown in confidence and is super excited to go each morning (sometimes it's the only thing that can convince her to put her nappy on 🙄) We are so pleased with her progress and completely reassured that she's in the best place, with the best people who have her best interest at heart. Very grateful to all the team ♥️

Acorns is, and always has been an exceptional Nursery. As a previous member of staff, and currently a parent with a child in Acorns, I am happy that my daughter is always looked after to the highest of standards. From the delicious variety of meals, to the activities provided and caring staff, Acorns is a home from home and I would recommend to anyone looking for a setting which genuinely cares 😊

Amazing nursery. Both my children have attended and they have both flourished. The help and support offered by the staff has been invaluable. I cannot recommend them enough. My children both love it there.
