Description
Acorn Day Nursery (Hedgerows) is a 48 place day nursery in Netherfield, Milton Keynes. Attached to the Hedgerows family centre, the nursery transferred to us from Milton Keynes Council and offers fully-funded places for eligible 2, 3 and 4 year olds.
The nursery offers full and part-time care for children aged four months to four years, and is open 7:30am until 6pm, Monday to Friday, all year round. All Acorn nurseries are closed for all bank holidays, between Christmas and new year, plus our four training days each year. This means that monthly fees for 2024 are calculated over 49 weeks. You will not be charged for these days, however fees are payable for additional closure days which are out of our control, eg: additional bank holidays over the standard eight. Funded childcare options are available.
The nursery provides children with a caring, challenging and stimulating environment. Children are supported by a highly qualified and experienced staff team who have ample knowledge and experience of child development and special education needs. All children are assigned a key person which helps children to become familiar with the setting and to feel confident and safe within it.

October 7, 2024 at 11:12 amThey have pleasant nutritious food, and they do so many activities with and for the kids. All the team are delightful, patient and nurturing; they do their best for my son even though he can be difficult at times. It’s a fantastic place to take your little ones. I can’t say any negatives regarding the nursery. My son loves every minute he is there.

October 16, 2024 at 5:21 amThe best way I could describe the nursery is a home‑like away from home‑like. I feel such as they take real interest into his personality (what he likes doing, what he doesn’t) with such enthusiasm and encouragement. The team are just fantastic, the caregiving and attention my youngster gets is more than I could ever hope for. I honestly couldn’t be happier, I know that when I drop him off that he will be looked after and engaged with.

Always doing different activities for the kids, forest centre is truly excellent also, would definitely highly recommend this nursery. Extremely excellent nursery.

February 15, 2025 at 8:58 pmThe nursery is extremely spotless and highly equipped to keep the kids entertained. The app is extremely reassuring to keep you updated on the little ones during the day. Hedgerow nursery has filled me with such confidence that they look after my boy with the highest standards. Our youngster is 14 months old and has recently started in the Acorn group. Thank you to all the team for the hard work you d; keep up the excellent work! Our key worker has truly helped him develop his abilities in socialising and updates and has pushed him to eat more which was our biggest concern.

February 27, 2025 at 4:46 amMy youngster has developed new abilities, and that is only thanks to the team at Acorns. Their food menu is over the charts – the variety of meals and snacks is impressive. Bonus to the incredible service is the app for the individual youngster where parents can monitor their youngster’s activities and routine – that helps to be up to date with everything. I highly highly recommend this nursery to everyone who wants to send their youngster to Acorns at Hedgerows. My little boy joined Acorns in March and can only sing praises to all team members. Nurseries facilities are always spotless and tidy, and their Health & Safety regalements satisfy me as a parent.

March 4, 2025 at 1:06 pmEveryone at Hedgerows was so delightful and incredibly supportive to my daughter and she settled straight away. Thank you ever so much. I highly highly recommend this nursery to everyone who wants a calm and homely feel setting for their youngster. My daughter was attending another nursery and she was extremely unsettled so I decided to take her out and send her to Acorn at Hedgerows instead.

March 7, 2025 at 3:23 amThey keep me updated on everything he is doing and have a fantastic routine in place; Aswell as pictures and updates on all that he has been doing while there. They have also been an integral part of getting him potty trained and fully out of nappies. It’s not easy to leave your youngster in the caregiving of anyone to go to work: but I have full confidence in them as they are just soo delightful and excellent at their job; as well as being so involved and provide the best experience for him. Thank you for all you do! Absolutely fantastic Nursery. All I can say is the team are brilliant. My daughter was at the nursery two years before him and it is mostly the same team, albeit new faces. My son has been coming here for the past year, he loves it soo much.

March 28, 2025 at 3:17 amMy daughter started nursery in January 2023; she found separation from me extremely hard and cried often. I adore the activities and development they provide. The team at the nursery were absolutely brilliant and helped her to settle in; they have lots of patience.

June 15, 2025 at 6:44 amThe team made sure she didn’t even feel our absence, she is more upset when I have to take her home‑like than in the morning when I tell her we are going to the nursery – she has a total smile. My little girl has been going to this nursery since October 2022 and she liked it from the beginning.
