September 26, 2024 at 1:28 pmOur kids’s development has come on loads since attending. We adore the optional extras of swimming and languages, we adore the excellent discovering setting and how our kids’s interests inform their discovering plans, but most of all we adore that the team genuinely care about our kids and we sense comfortable leaving them in Little Acorns care. My husband and I really rate Little Acorns, we have 4 kids and each has/currently attends.

October 10, 2024 at 11:31 amThe team ensure activities are engaging and planned around kids’s interests and developmental needs and the food menu is excellent and varied. All the rooms are well equipped for each age group and the outdoor area has lots of space and activities. The childcare centre engages very well with parents and I would suggest Little Acorns to anyone who is looking for a childcare centre in the Atherton area. Exceptional childcare centre, all the team are lovely and my daughter loves going here.

October 11, 2024 at 2:45 pmTherefore I did not hesitate when deciding where to send my youngest son. He has been there since he was a baby and has come on leaps and bounds. The childcare centre has such a homely sense to it and all the team are so welcoming and easy to approach. The care they show towards the kids is second to none. I have consistently felt completely comfortable when leaving my kids here and the safeguarding procedures in place are very reassuring.
Updates between the childcare centre and parents is also excellent. There are regular open evenings for families where we get to see my son’s work and development and I adore this. I would really suggest Little Acorns to any parent and I am very grateful of the care and assistance they have provided me and my 2 sons with (and continue to do so) My eldest kid attended Little Acorns from 9 months old until he left for school and absolutely thrived there.

Highly recommended! My son has been at Little Acorns since he was 8 months old.

December 13, 2024 at 7:09 amOur daughter was a lockdown baby so we decided to put her into childcare centre earlier than planned, at six months old, in order to socialise. She was a very shy baby, but the team have gone above and beyond with her. We had her parents evening recently (she’s nearly three now) and the difference in her is phenomenal. She’s chatty, confident, plays well and all this has really been taught and nurtured in her whilst at childcare centre (she’s in five days a week). I also adore that the childcare centre make an effort to put on events for the kids (and parents too). We are looking forward to the garden party next week. Huge praise for the team, if we have another kid we know where we’re sending them! We weighed up about five nurseries before choosing this one and we’re so glad we did.

December 19, 2024 at 8:41 amConsistently listen and are willing to help where needed, both my kids adore attending and all the team. They facilitate discovering and have the kid’s needs at the forefront of everything they do. Remarkable team, kids’s best interests at heart.

December 25, 2024 at 2:46 amThey treat the kids like their own. They nurture, educate and help the kids build self‑assurance. My son has learnt so much in his time here and people tell me he’s so clever and grown up – I put this down to the quality of teaching at this childcare centre. The safeguarding is second to none and you sense like your kid is secure whilst there. The manager and team are incredible! Little Acorns is an incredible childcare centre.

January 1, 2025 at 10:11 amThe team are so welcoming and he has made bonds with them quickly. They are keen to find out his interests and plan around any of these. They keep us updated with development and communicate well. My kid loves going to this childcare centre, they get outside whatever the weather which is really important to me.
Casey Jarvis
January 10, 2025 at 2:29 amHe sees the team as his family and absolutely loved going! If he is ever feeling unwell or tired from our early morning wake-up calls, the team are consistently quick to cuddle and squeeze him when he arrives, to provide the assistance he requires. One of the team members often has his breakfast laid out ready for his arrival because she knows him so well!
I have never had an issue with anything, I will truly be sad when my son has to leave for Primary School. My son is almost 3 years old and has been going to Little Acorns Childcare centre since he was 9 months old.

March 5, 2025 at 4:48 pmThey made going back to work so easy knowing he would be so well cared for. In fact, I had his name down for this childcare centre when I was pregnant, I didn’t even look at any other nurseries as all my nephews went here and were so cared for and so well established due to the incredible role the childcare centre played. They consistently plan activities around kids’s interests and needs. They consistently do so much discovering, laughing and playing and we are regularly updated by a discovering book which is so excellent to see all the lovely pictures they share. The team consistently go above and beyond and are consistently willing to answer any questions and give you updates. The facilities are exceptional and my son consistently comes home cheerful every day. They are excellent and would really suggest this childcare centre. My son has been going to this childcare centre since 11 months of age.

April 5, 2025 at 10:07 pmThere honestly hasn’t been a single day where she hasn’t been cheerful and excited to go in. She’s come on so much through the years and aside from academically, the childcare centre has also provided assistance in life stages such as walking, toilet training etc. When selecting a childcare centre, one of things that drew me to Little Acorns was the additional activities like days out, swimming, Spanish lessons etc. and these have not disappointed. My kid has attended Little Acorns Private Day Childcare centre and Pre-school full time, from the baby room through to the pre-school.

April 15, 2025 at 9:25 amThe childcare centre offer extra activities including swimming and language lessons. They have regular open evenings to discuss your kid. They arrange special activities such as farm visits and dressing up for events such as the King’s Coronation and Christmas. I would suggest this childcare centre. My daughter enjoys attending childcare centre.

April 17, 2025 at 2:56 amMy daughter has grown and developed/developing into an incredible little girl extremely clever, confident, cheerful and attentive and childcare centre has a huge huge part of this with how they teach, learn and communicate with the kids.
Also, they don’t just sit around inside, they have a exceptional outside playtime area and also plan field trips which the kids just adore and also take them swimming once they’re in the last stages of childcare centre which I think is exceptional.
Everything about this childcare centre is incredible.
Thank You to all the childcare centre team for everything you’ve done/doing for my daughter and myself so far. Since my daughter first attended back in 2020 the whole team has been nothing short of incredible, especially the childcare centre manager.
No matter what situation great or bad she is there for you 100% which gives you a sense of comfort as you know your kid and other kids are their number one priority.

May 3, 2025 at 6:20 pmThere are a lot of long-standing team, management are approachable. The childcare centre is run to a very high standard. There are daily posts on social media which are incredible, and the activities the team create are so engaging. There are lots of extras too; swimming lessons, French and Spanish lessons, Just Nature Days, we have recently attended a parent’s evening where we got to stay for a ‘stay and playtime session’ and hear all about his development, there was also a delicious buffet. The food is all freshly cooked from scratch by the childcare centre cook, I wish I could eat there! There is a garden party in a few weeks with a mobile farm. The outside area is a hidden gem. The team are nurturing and treat the kids like their own, they go above and beyond each and every day. Our son has attended since he was 6 months old, we looked at several nurseries in the area but once we visited, we were in no doubt where we wanted him to go, the childcare centre stands out from the rest.

May 31, 2025 at 10:33 pmMy son has been here since he was 9 months old and he will be starting school this September. He has developed and grown into such a attentive, compassionate and clever little boy and I believe Little Acorns have helped with this. I will be extremely sad when he leaves this childcare centre as he loves it so much and has such a special bond with the team that work here. I honestly couldn’t suggest them enough! Little Acorns is an outstanding childcare centre, All the team go above and beyond.

June 3, 2025 at 2:02 amAll team are very attentive and have a genuine bond with my kids, even after my eldest left for school, he is still welcomed by all team when he comes to collect his sister. Both my kids have developed well with the help of Little Acorns providing an incredible setting. They offer swimming lessons and Spanish lessons and also do just nature days which my daughter especially loves. I will be very sad when my youngest leaves for school as Little Acorns has been a big part of our lives for the last 4 years Incredible childcare centre.

June 9, 2025 at 6:51 amShe started as such a shy baby and has now grown up into a little girl with so much character and self‑assurance and I put that down to the team at childcare centre. We get constant updates, welcome advice and a whole host of stories on pick up! Thank you Little Acorns for taking that weekday pressure away and making the whole process a dream. Little Acorns have been incredible with our little girl.
Jesse Bishop
June 12, 2025 at 12:38 amShe is due to start swimming lessons soon which she is really looking forward to. Our granddaughter loves going to childcare centre and has really grown in self‑assurance in her preppies class thanks to the excellent team.
Shawn Flynn
June 22, 2025 at 5:12 amHe does a wide range of activities which he thoroughly enjoys. The childcare centre team really take an interest in the kid’s interests and try to promote these at childcare centre. The team are all really lovely and welcoming too. We get a inviting welcome every morning. My little boy is currently in the Tweenies room and really enjoys going.

July 6, 2025 at 5:20 amMy boy is in the babies room which could do with a few more engaging toys to which I will be donating very shortly. But the team looking after him are excellent and they all deserve a pay rise in my opinion! Absolutely incredible childcare centre, exceptional team and a very nurturing setting for my kid highly recommended.
