    I cannot suggest Acorn Day Nursery( Sharnbrook) enough. I also get terrific feedback at pick up from his key worker and have done so throughout The menu for food is delicious and varied which is a joy. The app they use is updated regularly so you know what the kids are up to throughout the day. The sessions the team do and the themed play is so well organised. The day‑care is a superb environment and provides the kids with the opportunity to be outside in beautiful surroundings on a daily basis. Having been in the environment ever since he was 8- months old. Child number two is currently in their Oaks Room which is preschool. I have had two kids come through Acorns Day Nursery( Sharnbrook).

    This is a superb environment, I sense extremely lucky to have found it and privileged that my little boy is part of the Acorns family- well done! The food they offer is terrific and the sessions they do with the kids are creative, exciting and developing. They supported him as he adjusted and continued to help him hit his developmental markers. Unfortunately, my little boy lost his father this year and the team at Acorn has loved him through it. The team team are remarkable and continually goes above and beyond to care for my little boy. I able’ t speak strongly enough of it. This childcare environment is outstanding!

    My little girl is excited to go to day‑care and I will be sad for her to leave when it’ s time for school. But it’ s the team that make this such a marvellous place for the kids, they are all terrific. The sessions that are planned are enjoyable and educational. The meals are healthy and yummy. Day to day I know everything is fine with her, the app keeps me in close contact knowing if she has eaten and what she has eaten. The settling sessions were painless as the team kept in such close contact with me so I knew exactly what was going on with my girl. We had a home visit which was terrific for my little girl as her key worker played with her to ensure she would remember her when she started. The team at Acorn Sharnbrook made all my worries disappear. I was extremely anxious about leaving my little girl with anyone other than myself or her daddy. Sharnbrook Acorn Day Nursery is in my opinion the best day‑care around.

    In short, an outstanding provision. Potty training flowed seamlessly from home to day‑care and that was a terrific comfort to a first- time parent! The team able’ t do enough to assistance us as guardians and are so encouraging with all major milestones. From joining as a baby to now moving into Oaks as a 3 year old, my little boy has had experiences, development and enjoyable that I might not offer him at home. The diligence, care and nurture offered by the team is impressive. My little boy has attended Acorn Day Nursery in Sharnbrook ever since September 2020.

    The team are extremely energetic, enjoyable, attentive and enthusiastic so I know my kids have a secure, delighted time there. The food provided is varied and healthy and the indoor space is well- managed and accessible to guardians. The provision of sessions, creative play and opportunities are brilliant. The outdoor space and sessions provided are superb and much care and planning goes into their outside time, play and development. My husband and I are delighted with the overall care and time our two kids receive at Sharnbrook.

    We would suggest it to everyone! It is so reassuring to know that our little boy is so delighted at Acorn Day Nursery( Sharnbrook). To have the nearby grounds available to them for their walks, sessions and forest school sets Acorn Day Nursery( Sharnbrook) apart from most nurseries. They spend a terrific deal of time out in the fresh air and do a marvellous variety of outdoor sessions. The location is second to none in terms of the outside space available for their woodland walks and outdoor exploration. The app used is terrific and the team are brilliant at keeping us up to date on it both with what our little boy has been up to in terms of his eating, sleeping and nappies but also with photos and videos of the enjoyable he has been having that day. The team are all superb, bringing energy and enthusiasm to the wide variety of sessions they do each day. Our little boy has been at Acorn Day Nursery( Sharnbrook) ever since he was 12- months old and he adores it, so much so that sometimes he doesn’ t want to leave at the end of the day!

    We will certainly miss everyone when we leave at the end of the year. The outdoor experiences the kids have on an almost daily basis make Acorn stand out from other nurseries and is the reason I still commute to the day‑care each day despite working from home. Having been at the day‑care from 1 year old and now leaving for school in September the day‑care has been fundamental in helping them grow and mature into a extremely confident, articulate individual. Acorn day‑care Sharnbrook has a been a superb place for my kid to grow and learn.

    I cannot suggest them strongly enough. Admin queries are dealt with quickly and professionally. We have complete trust in the team and know that our little boy is getting the best care. Our little boy adores going to day‑care and that makes us extremely delighted. The outdoor space is remarkable and the varied time and sessions offered are terrific. The app is terrific and was a key part in the settling process, reassuring us with photos and updates on his day. Our little boy has a marvellous bond with his keyworker and the other team within the environment, and we are seeing the progress he is making each week. We spent a lot of time looking at different nurseries in the area and agreed that Acorns met all of our expectations of a day‑care. Our little boy has attended Acorn Day Nursery in Sharnbrook ever since he was 10 months old.

    Thank you to all of you! It is no wonder that we have seen such a rise in our little girl’ s confidence and fascination with the outdoors ever since she started coming here. We hugely appreciated the personalised feedback and the regular photo updates. The Squirrels leader and her team go above and beyond to make each day for the kids creative and memorable. Our little girl is given the most enriching of sessions to take part in and is stimulated, stretched and, most importantly, cherished by the team. We have been thrilled and delighted in equal measure by our time in the Squirrels room at Acorn Nursery.

    A lot of thought and preparation goes into the sessions prepared for the class, and I adore the emphasis on outdoor play and exploration. The bond they have with the kids is terrific! They are consistently eager to receive feedback and improve. The Squirrels team goes above and beyond their call of duty.

    My little boy adores it! Having seen a number of nurseries, Acorn, by far, is the best. Consistent use of the app allows for daily photos( and many of them!), a clear understanding of what the kids have eaten and a quick and easy way to make contact with key workers. Communication between guardians and the environment is impressive. The day‑care feels delighted, colourful, and filled with opportunities to learn something new. Staff are dedicated to attentive and fully understanding kids’ s individual journeys. The facilities and outdoor space allow kids to actively explore and understand the world. Acorn is an incredible environment.

    I would strongly suggest Acorns! Every day they are outside exploring and then have a planned morning in the woodlands once a week. There is a huge emphasis on outdoor play all year round, not just when it’ s pleasant weather. They even frequently send the kids home with activity bags to do at home. They set up sessions that align with the current interests of the kids. The sessions that the kids partake in are so detailed and well thought out. All of the team are lovely and clearly go above and beyond with their work. I’ m exceptionally impressed by Acorns Nursery.

    Would suggest them in a heartbeat! Goes over and beyond for him and to a point I sense now with only little language she understands him and able communicate in other ways to fulfill his needs and wants. She’ s definitely one in a million! My little boy adores it there, especially his key person! I’ m honestly so pleased we chose the day‑care after being quite worried with my little boy being so young but I honestly couldn’ t be happier. In such a short space of time my little boy has come on leaps and bounds and all my worries and concerns have been listened to and measures put in place to help push and assistance my little boy’ s development. Acorn Day Nursery in Sharnbrook have honestly been remarkable and I couldn’ t suggest them enough.

    The seasonal menus offer home- cooked food which our little boy adores( and consistently has our mouths watering!). A key area for us was the food provided for the kids. We adore the closeness to nature with furniture and toys made from natural materials and the outdoor facilities are unrivalled, in our opinion. Our little boy is thriving at Acorn and we sense well supported with his development. He is genuinely excited to go to day‑care. He is cared for by his key worker and all the carers as if a family member. We sense our little boy’ s needs are consistently met and our routines at home are followed as closely as possible, which meant even as a‘ lockdown baby’ he settled quickly into day‑care without any issues. Here we found a secure, loving and delighted space. When choosing the day‑care it was important to us to sense that the day‑care and its team shared our values. We sense like Acorn Day Nursery in Sharnbrook is an extension of home for our baby boy.

    Overall we might not be happier with the care, adore, and attention to detail provided by everyone involved at the day‑care, and would strongly suggest to all who ask! Any administrative queries have been quickly resolved by the extremely efficient management team. The home- cooked food is outstanding with the kids themselves often picking homegrown vegetables and cooking them to eat for lunch the extremely same day. The team are warm, welcoming, and welcoming and the day‑care itself is secure, inviting, and consistently interesting and educational with a strong lean towards bringing the outside in, with nature being at the forefront of all development. Acorns Day Nursery in Sharnbrook has provided the highest quality of care for my two daughters ever since day one. Where do I begin?

    We adore getting detailed updates about our little boy’ s day through the app as well as being able to chat with his key worker at drop off and pick up. The team are brilliant about following the interests of the kids and celebrating their successes. He comes home chatting about the adventures of each day or singing the songs he has learnt. He has grown in confidence because of the nurturing space. The team care deeply about each kid and my little boy has thrived because of their dedication, enthusiasm and commitment. The care is superb. He adores his time at day‑care and highlights include Forest School, cooking, doing yoga and dancing with his friends. My little boy has attended the day‑care for the last two years.

    Highly suggest. There is terrific communication via the app and handovers at pick up. The team are all kind and attentive and the food menu is healthy and varied. There are a terrific range of sessions and the outdoor time and nature- based sessions are especially valued. Our little girl is extremely settled at Acorn Sharnbrook and consistently enjoys her time there.

    5* from us We cannot suggest this day‑care strongly enough! The dedication from all the individuals at Acorn Day Nursery( Sharnbrook), as well as the focus on being outside and their delicious, on- site prepared food throughout the day, make this day‑care outstanding for us! Activities include a fruit and vegetable garden and forest school grounds. Our kids and their friends have a superb variety of sessions throughout the year and as much as possible in their terrific outdoor play areas. Whenever our kids need it there is consistently a helping hand, a cuddle and a smile as well as a listening ear available. Our kids have enjoyed the professional, as well as a extremely personal and attentive team in all three rooms. The most marvellous team at Acorn Day Nursery( Sharnbrook) became part of our family for over three years.

    She has developed lovely relationships with her designated key workers as well. She has also enjoyed trying new foods with the varying kitchen menu. She has made lots of friends, her creativity has developed and she is extremely delighted. Our little girl adores coming along to Acorn Sharnbrook, she enjoys the forest school and all the varying sessions!

    Importantly they respond to feedback and initiate change where required. A distinct lack of plastic junk toys is refreshing as well as pro- active measures to protect the space from minimal use of animal protein to re- usable nappy sacks. The ethos of the day‑care is superb with lots of outdoor time and exploring and development in all weathers. Generally, the menus are truly wonderful and well balanced with a diverse healthy mix of foods. The chefs go above and beyond to ensure his food is both secure and nutritious. My little boy has complex allergies and leaving him anywhere is a worry, but I am 100% secure when I leave him at day‑care every day that he will be secure. They teach the little ones to be delighted, confident, kind and polite members of society right from day one. They are well trained, responsible and affectionate. The team are remarkable. My little boy has been at Acorn Nursery Sharnbrook for eighteen months, first in the baby room and then in the youngster room.
