Acorns ONS

Really good staff. Children get a lot of structure and play which is a good balance. Growing son who is now 3 and a half years is getting prepped for school and nursery has been wonderful in supporting his development and progression. The nursery is extremely clean and highest standards in cleanliness and management. Kids are well looked after. He likes it so much that he doesn’t even stop to say bye in the mornings, that’s saying something.

I am very impressed and delighted with all the staff at the ONS nursery. They are always so happy and positive and have my child’s best interests at heart. The activities they do with my child are great, I love seeing what they get up to on the app. I feel my child is in very safe hands there and she is always happy going to nursery and leaving after a fun-filled day. I would highly recommend this nursery.

When our little boy’s nursery closed down during the first lockdown and confirming they were not re-opening we were so upset. But ONS Acorns finally had space when they moved into their new accommodation to fit us in (we had been on the waitlist for some time) and they couldn’t have been any more welcoming. Even during difficult circumstances like COVID they made everything feel extremely easy and take excellent care of our little boy. It didn’t take him long to get settled into his new nursery and routine and is always happy going in and happy coming out. There is regular communication and the staff are always so lovely and friendly – couldn’t ask for a better nursery! Thank you.

My little girl has attended two Acorns nurseries since I’ve gone back to work and all I can say is that they are all amazing! She now attends Acorns ONS and is so happy, she loves attending, and even on days off, she asks to go and see her teacher and all her friends (which is a big relief to know your daughter is loving going to nursery). Every day she comes out happy and smiling and telling me what she has done that day. All the staff are amazing, I would definitely recommend this nursery to all of my friends and family. Thanks girls.

I have two children who attend this nursery and both can’t wait to go through the doors in the morning. They are usually greeted by a happy friend face and come out just as happy as they went in. They spend a lot of time in the garden when the weather allows and a lot of craft activities. My child in the preschool group is very proud of her new Welsh language skills and often comes home and tells me her new phrases. My only criticism would be that we used to receive a newsletter, but now we don’t, which may be a result of covid19, however, we do receive a lot more updates via email now, which is also welcome.

My son attends this nursery twice a week, he had a dairy allergy when he started back in 2021 and the nursery were excellent explaining that all children with allergies are given separate eating utensils and all are colour coded. This made me feel more relaxed, safe in the knowledge that it was all taken care of and taken seriously. At the end of the day I was always provided with a form explaining what he had been doing throughout the day and if he had eaten etc, I couldn’t recommend enough. We are always greeted by a smiling key worker and he loves showing me what he has made during craft time.

Excellent care all round, staff are really friendly and go above and beyond for my child. Communication from management is amazing and really couldn’t fault it. My child also brings home so many lovely pieces of artwork and she always comes home happy from her day at nursery.

Our daughter has been attending Acorns ONS since May 2022 and we have been really impressed so far!
The staff have been so welcoming and friendly, with everyone taking the time to get to know both my daughter and I. They have been very accommodating to my daughter’s allergy and we have been pleased with Acorns processes around safeguarding.
We feel confident that our daughter is safe, is cared for and is enjoying and thriving in these crucial and important points in her childhood.

What can I say? If you want your child to be kind, polite, and friendly; if you want them to enjoy going to nursery; if you want the people looking after your child to care for them almost as much as you do then send them here! Acorns ONS is a quiet peaceful space where children can feel as if they’re in their own home and not in a nursery. There are no loud toys and crazy children running around. All the children are playing kindly with each other and having fun learning and exploring. (As well as the odd “dance party” and “circus skills”. They go outside often, no matter the weather and have a lovely park close by. The food is nutritious, balanced and of a fantastic quality. They have cooks, gardeners and cleaners who care as much for the space and the children as the carers (also freeing up the time for the carers to actually care for the children). All the staff are friendly and genuinely care for the children and take an interest in their overall well-being and development.

My daughter has really enjoyed her time at Acorns ONS Day Nursery. There is a great variety of activities and opportunities for learning. She has learned a lot through these activities and grown her confidence. The management team and key carers are very approachable and accommodating of all the children’s needs. The environment is always kept clean and tidy and safe.
I would definitely recommend Acorns to family and friends. We will miss all the staff and her classmates now she is leaving for school.
