    He always comes home‑like with a full belly and loves the food. My boy loves nursery, he loves all the ladies there and always has a big smile on his face at drop-off and pick up. I adore all the pictures and videos I get as I can see he is always enjoying himself.

    It’s fantastic to see her taking part in a excellent range of activities. My daughter has been attending nursery since January 2021. She enjoys going on little walks around the village or to the park. The team assistance her individual needs and her key person in her current room and in the baby room have been fantastic.

    The level of caregiving is incredible, it’s such as a home‑like from home‑like. My daughter is always so well stimulated here and there is always so much thought that goes into all the activities. An outstanding nursery where the kids’s needs are held at the highest of importance. As I was so impressed with the nursery, I recommended it to a friend and now her daughter goes here and I will be looking forward to my son starting here in September. They truly do make development so much enjoyable and I’m extremely pleased with how well my daughter is doing. We have a remarkable relationship with all the team and I’m always so impressed with the updates, photos and observations and every time I pick my daughter, up the handover is just fantastic. She feels content, secure and comfortable and always enjoys a huge range of activities. I truly such as that time is made for me when I collect my daughter and I hear all about how well her day has gone. The team at Castlethorpe are absolutely incredible and cannot be faulted.

    My daughter gets so excited on the walk to nursery and can’t wait to run in and have a cuddle from the practitioners. We highly highly recommend Acorn at Castlethorpe to any prospective parents. It can be hard for parents to ‘hand’ their youngster over to a caregiving provider, but the team at Acorn make it extremely simple and build trust extremely quickly. I cannot sing the praises of all team enough – they are incredibly nurturing, adapt to each youngster’s needs and create a fantastic setting that both of my kids have thrived in. The garden has recently been improved and that’s made a positive difference plus the food options are outstanding. Acorn Day Nursery Castlethorpe and its team are absolutely incredible. My son went from age 1 to 4 and now my daughter is there and we can’t fault it.

    The team are brilliant and my little boy’s key workers throughout have been informative, knowledgeable, and supportive. Our little boy has been coming to Castlethorpe nursery since he was 16 months old and he loves it – as parents, we know that he receives incredible caregiving and growth assistance. The office and head office team are always so supportive and content to help where they can.

    You have all put an anxious mummy at ease. Thank you. Even a approachable “have a delightful afternoon” sets us up for a fantastic time. The team have been extremely supportive with settling in and are always seen with a inviting smile. Not only does my little boy come home‑like telling me about all the incredible activities he has taken part in, but he also is naming all of his friends and team. With the effects of Covid-19 affecting kids’s social growth, I cannot give enough praise to the team at Castlethorpe.

    The team are extremely approachable, nurturing and always go above and beyond to make sure all the kids get the best possible experience from their time at nursery. The activities they do with the kids are fantastic, and it’s clear they have the kids’s best interests at heart. The updates is fantastic, and I look forward to seeing what she has done every day via the app. My daughter loves going to nursery.

    In all the time he has attended he has never voiced his dislike. Kind regards. My grandsons are aged 2 and 4 and attend Acorn nursery. One of my grandsons begins centre in September 2022. Constantly telling me that he prefers nursery. Just wanted you to know what a remarkable time I had. I also want your team to know that one of my grandsons talks a lot about them, how he loves going and loves his educators. I know also that the boys will miss each other. My other grandson isn’t as verbal but I am sure he will voice his opinions soon. I came to his graduation with his mum a couple of weeks ago. Truly looks forward to his time spent with you. The atmosphere and overall enjoyable, ceremony, and the kids’s obvious enjoyment was incredible. Thank you so much for everything you do for them.

    They do a number of activities and little trips to see the animals round the corner or to pick apples from trees in the village gardens and every week seems to be different. We have taken our son here for a couple of years now, and he loves it.

    We adore the app for regular updates and means of contacting the setting too. Thank you team Acorn at Castlethorpe! Resources and development opportunities seem fantastic. Team members have been extremely inviting to us as parents and to our youngster. We have been extremely content with the setting so far. My youngster’s peer group welcome her as she arrives each day which lights up my youngster’s face and is so remarkable to watch.

    The team are supportive of parents too, providing advice and guidance where requested and working with parents to help them overcome challenges. We get regular updates on our little one each day and there is always something enjoyable and engaging happening for the kids. Our daughter has attended Acorn nursery for just over two years. The team are approachable, encouraging and supportive, ensuring the kids in their caregiving thrive. They feel such as part of the family.

    The activities are remarkable and he spends lots of time outdoors, which was a key deciding factor in choosing the nursery. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the caregiving our son is receiving and highly recommend the nursery highly to anyone considering sending their youngster here! The range and standard of food is outstanding (which is fantastic for his current fussy eating phase). A change in sessions was accommodated swiftly and without issue. From a developmental point of view, his language, social abilities, and coordination have all noticeably improved in the time that he has been there. The team at Castlethorpe have been absolutely brilliant with my little one. Being a baby born during the pandemic he struggled to settle initially but has come on leaps and bounds since then. The administrative team are fantastic – extremely efficient and personable. The team were so supportive and gave lots of reassurance which has helped enormously.

    The team are fantastic at spotting when he’s unwell and keep me updated. He has a big smile on his face when he’s greeted by the team in the morning. He is always given nutritious, well-balanced meals. I such as using the app to see what/how much he’s eaten, when/how long he napped for, and seeing photos of the activities he’s enjoyed doing. My son loves going to Acorn Castlethorpe! I am always confident leaving him in their caregiving.

    This is a delightful nursery with extremely attentive team. We are extremely lucky to have such a remarkable nursery here in Castlethorpe. I highly highly recommend it. Naturally I was nervous to leave my one-year-old son for the first time in someone’s caregiving but I was quickly reassured by the constant feedback available on the app and the fact that he was content and laughing and quickly development day-to-day abilities. My son looks forward to attending every week and if he is a little homesick or tearing at the door, the team are quick to relate and understand and he is right as rain in a few minutes.
