    The nursery offers a range of activities for the kids, including swimming, dance, and forest centre activities. The team are always so approachable, supportive and kind. I have been part of the Shenley ‘family’ for approximately 6 years now as my son attended and now my daughter. Acorns in Shenley Church End continues to impress me, I am extremely content with the caregiving, updates, and activities within the nursery setting. My daughter who currently attends absolutely loves it and always refers to the team, making links to things we do as a family.

    Plenty of activities to keep her occupied and planned weekly activities keep her excited. Having my youngster mostly spend her time in a foreign country and not speaking much English to now be able to update and be more comfortable with other little ones is marvellous. The attention from team and the caregiving provided gained her trust. Nutritious and tasty food she loves. Everyday feedback from the team and the frequent updates of the youngster through their app is worth mentioning.

    Our son has been going to Shenley nursery for a year. We get extremely frequent reporting on his progress and we know what he has eaten, and how well he slept every day. We adore this nursery, the team are approachable and super professional. His growth has been fantastic and we are always amazed by the activities they do and what he is development every day. Our son loves to go there.

    We’ve always been truly grateful that we secured a place for our three kids at this nursery and have been truly content with the warm‑hearted, approachable and nurturing nature of the team. Our son has a delightful time at Acorn and comes home‑like with stories of the fantastic things he has done each day.

    Each one has a special bond with every youngster there. My son is extremely comfortable and looks forward to attending. They are approachable, supportive accommodative, and made sure to make it a smooth settling for him. I appreciate the efforts they put in arranging and planning the day for the little ones, the messy playtime/muddy puddle playtime/baking/nature walks/helping little ones to improve updates, etc. I am proud to say it is the best next place for him after home‑like. He loves being there and the credit goes to the marvellous team! My son started at 1.4 yrs age with Acorn Shenley. I don’t need to worry about my son when in nursery as I am confident he is in secure hands and well looked after. Acorn does a sterling job from development and growth for all ages. The live updates are a superb thing that any parent would definitely adore to have. It was the best decision we ever made!

    I have never felt so comfortable leaving him with anyone and I know he has a lot of enjoyable from all the awesome stories he tells and pictures and reports via a handy app. The food, playtime equipment, variety of activities, and outdoor space are outstanding and it’s clear that everyone who works in the nursery enjoys what you do and it shows in how they interact with little ones. My son has been attending Acorn nursery for almost 2 years now and I can honestly say that team are incredible.

    The atmosphere and surroundings are inviting for myself and son. The nursery also helped and is still supporting my little champ from diaper to pant. I will highly highly recommend the nursery any time any day. My son will come home‑like and do all the different activities put in place at the nursery. The team are all fantastic and cared for the kids well and make sure their growth and core abilities needed are met. My son will always be the one to remind me in his little voice, mummy it’s time to go to nursery I don’t want to miss anything (bless him that is how much he loves going to Acorn Day Nursery Shenley Church End). My son started Acorn Day Nursery Shenley Church End at age 2 years and I must say the nursery is exceptional.

    This nursery is outstanding from the facilities to the carers and other supporting team. Both my sons now attend the nursery and during lockdown, the nursery were fantastic in continuing to provide all the caregiving and assistance my eldest son needed.

    My daughter has been going here since September 2021 when she was one and since then we’ve moved to the other side of MK but adore it so much that we decided to keep her here. Thank you to everyone at Acorns in Shenley, we truly appreciate everything you do! It’s given us peace of mind knowing our daughter is being well looked after whilst we’re working. The team are fantastic, making development enjoyable and providing a warm‑hearted, nurturing setting for our daughter to grow and develop. I thoroughly highly recommend this nursery.

    Our daughter is due to start in a few months and we can’t wait to see her settle in and see her enjoy her time at nursery just such as her big brother! The team work incredibly hard and the activities the kids are able to participate in are widely varied. We adore how much time is encouraged to be outside, whatever the weather! The updates between parents and key workers is brilliant and we adore seeing all about their day either through logs or photos on the app. Our son has been at the nursery for a year and a half and we are delighted with how much he enjoys attending. Thank you Acorn Day Nursery (Shenley Church End) for allowing us to feel so confident in a nursery, you’re a credit to Acorn Day Nursery (Shenley Church End).

    We’ve experienced all three rooms (Acorns, Squirrels and Oaks) and they’re all truly well adapted for the age group: a cosy baby room, through to forest centre and centre-readiness later on. Settling in is excellent, daily updates and regular parent observations are supportive, and we trust them with our little girls every day. My two kids both go to Acorns in Shenley and adore it, and so do we. All three rooms have truly nurturing, experienced team who show so much interest in each youngster.

    And finally the food – it’s cooked fresh on-site ad it smells incredible as you drop them off! The emphasis on the outdoors has been fantastic for my boys. They work truly hard to help the little ones settle in and they soon do! There’s lots of outdoor space and they often go on walks in the local area to explore and playtime in the nearby pirate park. My boys have been lucky to have a male member of the team supporting them some days too which brings a fantastic dynamic, especially for boys – my eldest still talks about being a ‘dinner winner’! The team genuinely adore these little ones such as their own and the approach is about nurturing the youngster’s interests, rather than forcing all little ones down the same path. My eldest started here at 2, my youngest at 1.

    The team that run the Acorns room are remarkable so are the rest of the team throughout, including the caterers, I never have a hungry boy at the end of the day! My son loves going to nursery, he is always doing something new and development in a secure and warm‑hearted setting. The nursery truly provides an inclusive and exciting programme for the kids.

    My daughter has both a speech delay and is quite a fussy eater and the team have helped her so much with her confidence and with her eating. She is now in the Oaks room age 4 and doing more hours than before including 2 full days. I cannot speak highly enough about this nursery – it is the most delightful nurturing setting and my daughter has just thrived since she arrived in the Squirrels Room at age 2. Just remarkable and can’t say enough thanks for the value you add to my daughter’s life and for the assistance you provide all of us on a daily basis. She absolutely loves it there and adores all the team. The level of updates from this nursery is second to none – I never have to ‘pull’ information out regarding my daughter – every one of the team are always forthcoming with information to the greatest detail.

    Extremely content with the nursery, standard of caregiving and assistance extremely excellent, physical space and outside space extremely excellent, food extremely nutritious and enjoyed nudging youngster towards eating as an adult. Updates and follow-up of things identified is extremely excellent.

    The team are extremely approachable and they truly seem to adore those little ones such as their own. They are extremely creative and they adore what they do. The little ones are having the best time there with all the different activities. My son and daughter are both going to this nursery. They have excellent experience and I would definitely highly recommend this nursery to all parents. I feel secure and secure knowing that my little ones are in their hands. My son has been having hearing issues and they were the ones who spotted it and advised us to take him for a check.

    They are truly invested in the well-being of not only the youngster but also the parents which creates all the difference. We have had an extremely delightful experience with the nursery and their team. Extremely supportive in every aspect of youngster caregiving and parenting.

    Both the manager and my baby’s key worker are super professional and supportive. My baby goes to the Acorn Day Nursery and we are so content with everything. I 100% highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

    They have provided advice, guidance and assistance throughout our time with them. I have 2 kids currently in this nursery, they have been and continue to be incredible. Specifically, they have helped my eldest son’s growth as when he joined (nearly 2yrs old) he couldn’t say any words and now he can read and talk confidently.

    My daughter has been attending Acorn Day Nursery since she was 1 year and 10 months old. We went there two and a half days a week in Squirrels Room, she was still having breast milk at that time, I was going to give her breast milk every day at noon. Now my son has joined too when he was 1years. Every time I stayed in an hour or so, probably lasted more than two months, during this period, I observed the Nursery with the kids, every day session theme is different, extremely rich, involving a wide range, more than two months of the time, I didn’t see a recurring theme, and designed the games carefully. They both such as Acorn extremely much. Both my son and daughter are from 7:15am to 6:15pm, my daughter is 5 days a week at this time, and my son is 4 days a week. Every educator here is extremely kind, full of adore, patience, parenting experience, they give the kids a lot of common sense and cultivate their daily habits.
