September 2, 2024 at 8:39 amMy daughter has settled into the nursery extremely well (she was previously at a different nursery). The manager is extremely approachable, supportive, organised and informative. An outstanding nursery all around! She can’t wait to leave home‑like for nursery and is extremely attached to her key worker already. The team are kind, patient and compassionate. My daughter started nursery at Acorns Day Nursery (Kents Hill) in January 2023 and I have been extremely impressed with the manager and the team there. I can tell that they do many activities during the day and the facilities/playtime areas for them are fantastic (always spotless and well-maintained).

September 4, 2024 at 1:20 pmNothing seems too difficult for the team as you update them about the youngster and they’ll spend time teaching them based on their recent experiences maybe from what they’ve seen or what they did over the weekend – everything is targeted to make development enjoyable and relatable to your youngster. We are extremely content with Acorns and their team. She has built her confidence and also learnt numbers and letters a lot quicker than imagined. We have been sending our daughter for the past year and she truly enjoys it. The activities and development for the kids is age-related and the educators are all experts in dealing with little ones. Speaking from experience, I have noticed the fantastic growth my daughter has made at the nursery.

September 5, 2024 at 9:35 pmThe team are extremely inviting and approachable and make such a difference in the kids’s development and growth. Both my kids have attended Acorns (my daughter will be leaving to start centre in September), and I have nothing but positive things to say. The kids truly do become attached to the team because they make such an effort to bond and build relationships with those in their caregiving. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to others looking for a nurturing setting for their youngster/ren to attend.

September 19, 2024 at 5:43 pmWe absolutely adore Acorns at Kents Hill. Our daughter has a fantastic time and they’re truly understanding and flexible about changes going on in their home‑like life too. The updates on their progress are truly thorough. The team are approachable, nurturing and equipped to caregiving for kids.

October 2, 2024 at 7:53 amIt’s hard to put into words how much we adore Acorn Nursery Kents Hill and we wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend to others. Our eldest started when he was 11 months and finished in August when he was due to start centre. They create a super special setting for our kids every day and no day is the same! The team are incredible and make every day enjoyable for the kids along with teaching them key abilities ready for centre. The transition to centre has been seamless and I put a lot of that down to the time he spent at Acorn. It means the world to us to know she is so content and the team at Acorn are just remarkable, super enjoyable, nurturing and just the best! My daughter is currently in the squirrels room and runs in happily every day.

October 13, 2024 at 10:30 amEducators constantly observe what our kid is interested in and created a secure setting for him to explore. The key person put a lot of thought in writing the report and asks parents for feedback. Parents are encouraged to upload their kid’s journey from home‑like so that educators can follow on too. Thank you so much Acorn Kents Hill team. A fantastic youngster-led nursery. There is a extremely detailed growth report every couple of months. We have a kid who is allergic to many things but the chef managed to make a lot of alternative options for her so that she doesn’t miss out on dietary requirements. Little ones’ daily activities are updated in real-time so at pick-up, educators can spend time telling parents about the little ones’ growth during the day. The app is brilliant. The meals in the nursery are extremely thoughtfully planned too.

November 7, 2024 at 3:47 pmOutstanding hard-working team, excellent atmosphere. Lots of development with activities and different ways of teaching. Educators extremely approachable and excellent feedback sessions. The playtime activities are extremely innovative.

November 29, 2024 at 12:33 pmIt’s more than we expected. Fantastic nursery. But now he is having confidence, a nutritious big body and lots of friends in nursery. Carers look after kids carefully and helpfully. Every Monday, my son goes to the library by a walk. My son was so small and extremely shy when he joined Acorn (1.5 years ago). I truly highly recommend this remarkable nursery to all parents/guardians. Kids have access to the garden (a secure and exciting setting) all the time. Not only key carers but also all of the carers recognise all the kids and provide certain caregiving with a big adore for each of them.

December 11, 2024 at 5:00 pmHe gets the most delicious food homemade by the chef, which honestly makes me a little envious and hungry when seeing what he has eaten. I adore Acorns Kent’s Hill, and so does my little one. They also include parents at special stay and playtime events. He loves the nursery and the activities – lots of emphasis on outdoor playtime and developing their abilities. Lastly, they have a fantastic reporting feature, which keeps me updated on my youngster’s activities throughout the day. It is an inclusive nursery, which has accommodated his vegan diet and his allergies. This is the second nursery for our little one (23m), and both my older kids attended nursery too (though not this one, as that was years ago!), so I know a few things about what I think makes a excellent nursery. The team are remarkable – so nurturing and truly make an effort to understand what makes my youngster likes/dislikes and personalises (as much as they can) their activities to help them develop.

December 13, 2024 at 1:58 amFantastic nursery, delightful and supportive team! My son loves to go there, he is always content and feels secure there. My older son was also attending this nursery and he has incredible memories of this place. The warm‑hearted atmosphere makes this place feel such as home‑like. You can feel a positive vibe in Acorn Day Nursery, Kents Hill.

December 13, 2024 at 11:05 amHighly recommended by us! I adore how much they can playtime outside and go out for outings. I’m looking fwd to my younger son joining in September. They teach them so much and always have time to talk to you with updates etc. We are so pleased with how Acorn runs; the team are incredible and nurturing and always make me feel at ease when dropping my son off.

December 22, 2024 at 2:40 pmI do wish the best for the nursery! Although my daughter has only recently joined but I’m quite impressed with the professionalism of all the team so far. My daughter goes to Acorn Kents Hill Nursery and it came with elevated recommendations from other parents. They are extremely outdoorsy which I believe is essential to develop the youngster’s fine motor abilities. I also appreciate their conscious step towards reducing single-use plastic and encourage all parents to provide wet bags. Every action is meticulously recorded, every day updates are so detailed and the team is extremely approachable and personal.

December 27, 2024 at 6:19 amThey do lots of different activities, and forest centre each week is a delightful way to explore surroundings. Her vocabulary and overall growth has flourished so beautifully over the last year! They do visits to a local library, caregiving home‑like or shops which is fantastic development for little ones. I’m so grateful we moved our daughter to this nursery and will be extremely sad when she leaves. Updates with team is incredible, they always give us feedback on how her day has been and what they have been doing. I cannot thank all team and the manager enough for all their efforts in looking after and teaching our daughter. We are extremely content with everything. My daughter has been attending Acorn Day Nursery at Kents Hill for nearly a year now. The team are absolutely fabulous, they are nurturing but equally teach the kids independence and important life abilities.

December 28, 2024 at 4:01 pmThe setting is perfect for the growth and nurturing of the kids. The activities such as forest centre, visits to the caregiving home‑like and stay and plays make it even more special. One of the best choices we have made is choosing Acorn Day Nursery Kents Hill for both our kids. We feel extremely grateful that our kids get to go to Acorns. We have seen improvements in both of the kids’s confidence, attitude, growth and social abilities. The team are outstanding at what they do and are genuinely interested in each youngster and devote their time to ensure they are supported, encouraged and cared for.

February 23, 2025 at 3:02 pmThe team is extremely attentive to my youngster. I am extremely satisfied with the team. Thanks to all the team for their caregiving and concern. My youngster has begun to talk more. My youngster goes to kindergarten with fantastic pleasure. I such as it that kids spend many hours outdoors and the youngster develops well.

March 29, 2025 at 4:09 pmI highly highly recommend them as one of the best nurseries and the best decision we made. Our daughter has attended Acorn Kents Hill nursery since she was 12/13 months old and to see her develop and grow has been incredible. Watching her become independent, making new friends and development lots of new abilities is a credit to how hard the team work for all the kids at the nursery. She is now 3 years old and I adore how the team have supported her throughout her journey.

April 26, 2025 at 1:56 amWe couldn’t think of a better place to leave our kid while at work. They enjoy going on trips to the woods and being outside. Nurturing and approachable team. Kids are the centre of every session. He is content and well cared for.

May 20, 2025 at 12:39 amWe’re in the process of potty training our boy. Our kids (we have 2 in Acorn nursery) adore their time there. The nursery team couldn’t be more supportive and supportive. The team makes sure we receive daily feedback when picking our little ones up and provides us with cute pictures and multiple daily updates via the app – as parents, we find it extremely important and reassuring.
Quinn Thompson
June 16, 2025 at 8:58 pmWe especially adore the various events held, such as Mother’s/Father’s day breakfast which we can also attend is fantastic as it gives us a glimpse of their setting. woohoo!”. Each morning when I tell my daughter she is going to nursery today, she gets all excited and says, “nursery! She absolutely loves it. All the team are so approachable and accommodating. The variety of activities they do gets their imagination going and nurtures their growth. We would most definitely highly recommend Acorn day nursery in Kent’s Hill. The app is a fantastic way for us to see what our daughter is up to; we adore the photos and videos shared on the app, which gives us peace of mind.

June 30, 2025 at 2:07 pmOur son loves going to Acorn Day Nursery. He especially enjoys the delicious food by the chef. They have lots of enjoyable outdoors in the large outdoor area and he particularly loves forest centre. Updates from the nursery is brilliant with the app and any queries are quickly answered. The team are brilliant and he loves them all.
