May 9, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son started Acorn Day Nursery in April 2022. Everyone has been brilliant in helping him to settle in and so accommodating to his needs. We are really pleased with his progress. When we pick him up, he’s always smiling and seems to be really happy to be at nursery.

May 17, 2022 at 12:00 amI have to say that this nursery is so great! They have always been so helpful, supportive and so friendly throughout both our boys going here! We viewed a good 5 nurseries around the local area and our initial gut feeling when walking round was to go with this one! The homely feel and the warmth from all the staff and management are second to none! The communication is extremely good which just makes everything run so smoothly! The only downside is the car park that it’s shared with the football ground however this is only really an issue a couple of times of the year and for the amazing people, environment and facilities the nursery provides I’d happily share a car park! Honestly, I can’t recommend this nursery enough! Thank you to all the staff and management here for looking after and caring for our boys like they were/are your own we will never ever forget this.

May 17, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Burton Latimer since Oct 21 and loves going to nursery. She joined the preschool room and I was a bit apprehensive due to the change in nursery, but she loves all the teachers and has made some good friends. Everyone welcomed her with open arms. My daughter always goes into nursery happy and comes out even happier telling me she has had the best day.

May 17, 2022 at 12:00 amI have been nothing short of absolutely delighted with Acorns. I knew instantly from the moment I walked in with my son at 9 months old that I would feel comfortable leaving him in their care. He started at 17 months old and despite going just once a week has always been happy and excited to spend his days with the team and his friends. He has just had his settling-in session to move to the big room with no problems, a testament to how they are helping to create happy, confident little people who are comfortable in all areas of the nursery. We are currently pregnant with number 2 and I feel confident knowing they will look after this little one just as well as they have with my first. Wonderful nursery with a wonderful ethos.

May 17, 2022 at 12:00 amAll round teaching skills are brilliant, children are looked after, they come home very happy sometimes exhausted which is good because they have been playing well. My two children always talk about their day at nursery and the many activities they have been doing. Very happy with Acorn Nursery.

May 17, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff at Burton Latimer are amazing and so caring towards the children. They give you great updates throughout the day and always have different activities set up for your child to take part in. They take great care in ensuring the environment is as safe as possible and really work hard to engage with the parents.

May 17, 2022 at 12:00 amI can highly recommend Acorn nursery. The staff are friendly and approachable and go out of their way to help the children settle and to plan engaging activities which meet their interests. My son has settled in well and all the staff in his room have taken the time to get to know him and to help him adjust, which, alongside building a close relationship with his key worker has really helped. We love how activities are planned to meet the children’s interests and how flexible they are and we are kept informed and up to date with all information via the app and a friendly face at drop off or pick up, which makes all the difference!

May 17, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child loves his time in nursery, gets really happy about going in the morning. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. We love how they take the time to play and make all the sensory games and listen to us as parents when we have any concerns.

August 12, 2022 at 12:00 amThe best hands in which your child could be placed for a nursery experience. The activities are based on learning through playing and the child’s will. From drop off, to meals, their time within the nursery and pick up, everything is done with care, joy and focus on the child’s needs, wishes and interests. Even though it’s challenging for a parent to find the right place for their most precious tiny humans, Acorn Day Nursery is by far the best nursery one could choose for discovering and learning about life, building friendships, encouraging a child’s independence, trust and happiness. Messy playing, role-playing, dancing, reading, drawing, baking, nature time, etc. All the good things can be found in here. With all this being said, don’t expect your child to come home looking all tidy and clean as they’ve just had the time of their life making out the most of their day at the nursery. This review was written with lots of love and appreciation. Thank you Acorn Day Nursery for getting the best out of my kids!

November 21, 2022 at 12:00 amAcorn is a nursery that is so considerate of the needs of each child. From settling in to drop-offs and pick-ups it has a warm caring environment. My son needs consistency from his carers and they have really helped do this. They ensure lots of different activities are set up to encourage development and pick things that the children are in to. The staff are all compassionate, empathetic, child-focused, lovely people. It’s a home-from-home with lots of outdoor play too and lots of room for the children. Great nursery.

November 23, 2022 at 12:00 amAcorn Day Nursery (Burton Latimer) is a fun, friendly and safe place. My son started in September, and the staff were fantastic at settling him in and reassuring me. Now my son loves nursery days. He is learning so many new words and skills. His social skills are improving. They also do so much outdoor play, which my son loves. The staff are friendly and are always happy to share with me about his day when I pick him up. They speak like they really love their job and care about the children. Definitely recommend this nursery.

January 26, 2023 at 12:00 amAs a first-time mum, I worried and was so anxious sending my child to a nursery after looking around so many different styles, Acorn in Burton Latimer just felt so homely. All the staff are amazing and really made me and my son feel welcome. My son’s thriving so much since starting in November his speech and eating has really come along since joining and there’s nothing I would change. So happy with my decision.

April 28, 2023 at 12:00 amI cannot fault this nursery, since my grandson started last October in the Squirrels he has come so far with his learning ability. His key workers are amazing with him in all aspects and they are all so dedicated to their job.

April 28, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter attends this nursery and has done for over 3 years now, she absolutely loves it! All the staff have done amazing with her and catered for all her individual needs so effectively! I never have had a bad word to say, or had any concerns! Such a brilliant nursery!

April 28, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been attending Acorns for nearly a year and we are so pleased with the provision! Every morning, she is greeted warmly by a member of staff and we are kept up-to-date on how her day is going through the app. If we’ve ever dropped her off and she hasn’t been herself, the team are always quick to send a quick message to let us know she’s settled in okay (which she always does) and put our mind at rest! The food they provide offers a varied menu on a four-week cycle, and we’re yet to have seen anything our daughter won’t eat! Making the decision to send your baby to nursery is really hard, but we know we made a good choice sending her to Acorns! Every day she comes out smiling and is excited to go in the morning. It’s the perfect place to send your child and know they’ll be treated exactly as you’d want them to be.

May 17, 2023 at 12:00 amAcorn Nursery is a fantastic place for the children. It’s wonderful seeing my son being so excited about going into the nursery. Teachers are friendly with a caring mindset. I would recommend this nursery to everyone with little ones.

June 2, 2023 at 12:00 amI was apprehensive about my one-year-old starting nursery, she has always been very clingy and hadn’t really been left with anyone. Within a week of starting at Acorn Nursery she went from taking a few steps (but preferring to walk on her knees) to walking full-time. Her speech has really developed, the staff are great. When we arrive or leave, all staff we pass greet my daughter by name. They keep you up to date on the app throughout the day with information and photos which gives me a lot of comfort that I can check what she’s eaten, what time she’s had a nap and see photos of her having a great time. It has a large garden area equipped with lots of toys and a sandpit. My daughter is thriving here, I cannot think of a bad word to say. My older child also went here and some of the same staff are still there which shows it’s a nice place to work. Although it’s a large nursery there’s a homely feel.

August 1, 2023 at 12:00 amWe’ve been having a lovely experience with Acorn! The staff are very polite, considerate and well trained. We have seen positive changes in our daughter’s social skills and overall development. Through the pictures and the app, we can see her growth and progress even when we’re at work. Lovely nursery!
