“I was nervous about putting my baby into nursery when he was only 9 months old, however the staff have been incredible. They made me feel so at ease and I know he is being well looked after. Zack loves going to nursery and I can go to work and not worry about him. I highly recommend Acorn Park!”

“The staff at Acorn Park seem incredibly engaged and interested in creating the most enriching and enjoyable experience for the children. The nursery posts daily updates of the children’s activities on Facebook and communicates regularly with us about all aspects of the nursery. They also offer plenty of unique experiences for kids and parents alike from first aid classes to jam-making. Enrolling our daughter at Acorn Park originally came at the recommendation of several friends and we have not been disappointed. It has been a great decision for us!”

“My son has attended Acorn Park since he was 6 months old. During the settling period the staff and the management team were extremely supportive and reassuring. My now 2 year old son has made amazing bonds with staff and I can see how much they love and nurture him. I am often pleasantly surprised when my son shows new skills or uses more vocabulary which he has learned in nursery. My son looks forward to going to nursery each week to see his friends and smiling adults who look after him.”

“I put all three of my children through Acorn Park from a few months old until they went to big schools. Sad that my last one has just left as we have many happy memories over the last twelve years. A great place to put your kids!”

“We visited quite a few nurseries when looking for a spot for our little boy and stepping into Acorn Park was like a breath of fresh air. So many nurseries can be cramped, dark and sometimes even damp, but not Acorn Park, it’s so bright, fresh and has bags of space for our little ones to run around. Our little boy was only 6 months when he started so it was a little daunting for us, but the staff were so great with him (and us) and made the transition so smooth.

The staff are fantastic, so helpful and polite and brilliant with our wee one, we get full reports everyday on what he’s been up to and how he has been interacting with other children, it’s great to get an insight to his development when we’re not around. We could not recommend Acorn Park highly enough and feel so grateful to have such a superb facility on our doorstep with such wonderful members of staff.”

“I returned to work when my daughter was six months old and finding the right environment where my daughter would be cared for, nurtured and encouraged to develop was essential; Acorn Park is all of this and more. The staff are all lovely, approachable and most importantly have a great bond with the children. The facilities are exceptional. Each room is appropriately equipped for the ages of the children in it and are spacious, bright and clean. Acorn Park encourages children to make their own choices, interact socially with each other, be creative and confident. 3 years, on I now have 2 children at the nursery who have great, fun filled days and come home smiling! I cannot rate it highly enough!”

“We have used Acorn Park since 2015 when our daughter started in the little baby room and stayed until she started school. Our second daughter has also been at the nursery since 2017. We chose Acorn Park because of the staff, who are exemplary in their professionalism, warmth and kindness. It has been lovely to see our second daughter being cared for by many of the same staff that looked after her big sister. The children at Acorn Park are constantly challenged and encouraged to develop through a wide range of stimulating activities, and it is lovely to see how our daughters have progressed, socially, emotionally and pedagogically, through the pieces of work they bring home, and the detailed record book maintained by their keyworkers. The nursery is a wonderful environment for both children and parents to form lifelong friendships.”

“I can't recommend the wonderful Acorn Park nursery enough. My daughter has attended since she was 9 months old and has been so well cared for and nurtured over the subsequent years. I really feel so fortunate to have found a nursery that treats every child as an individual and where Vari and all the staff are just the best, most professional, caring and positive people I could ever have hoped for to care for my daughter. I look forward every day to taking my daughter to the beautiful building, with its calm, welcoming environment and lovely people. I'll be sad when she moves on at 5 but I'll know that I gave her the opportunity to have the best possible nursery experience for those vital early years.”

 

Susan Berridge

“Acorn Park came highly recommended to us by several people when we were looking for nurseries. We sent both our children there and have been very impressed by the quality of care, friendly atmosphere and the dedication of the staff. They really take the time to get to know the children and tailor activities to suit their interests and needs. Both our children were very happy there and made strong friendships. The resources are also amazing, particularly the brand new climbing wall and the private garden directly opposite, which both our children loved playing in. I would have no hesitation recommending Acorn Park to others.”
