April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amOverall the nursery is very well run and a great place to send our son. He thoroughly enjoys being at nursery and he has a close bond with all of the staff. There are lots of activities that he does throughout the day to keep the children entertained and preoccupied to which we receive updates about on an app. The only critique I have is that we would like to receive more frequent updates but I understand that this isn’t always practical due to the administration involved.

April 27, 2022 at 12:00 amLittle Acorns is a warm, friendly environment with a family (yet professional) where the priority is always the child – their development, wellbeing and ability to grow.
My son struggled to settle into nursery at age one but has come leaps and bounds since moving to the eighteen months to three years class. He is happy because the key workers invest time to build rapport and are always communicative upon collection proving insights into the day and discussing any concerns. I believe this class is a little too large and the children would benefit from having a smaller class. The food offerings could be better and more varied/innovative. But these are minor tweaks. Sending my little one to Little Acorns is definitely one of the best things I did. Look forward to him progressing to preschool here.

April 27, 2022 at 12:00 amMy baby is 7-months old and I was very nervous about leaving him for the first time. The staff at Little Acorns Nursery are fantastic and have put me at ease with regular updates and tips to help him settle. The resources are fantastic and the garden looks great. I can’t wait to see how they support my son’s development over the next few years. I couldn’t recommend it enough!

April 27, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Little Acorns Nursery for a little under a year now and she absolutely loves it. Her key workers so far have been brilliant and really give her the attention and nurturing she needs. My daughter has thrived since starting at Little Acorns Nursery and I notice advances in her development regularly, including her communication, her social skills, her confidence and her creativity. Little Acorns Nursery ensures the children receive a varied nutritious diet and ensure hygiene is key, such as with nappy changes that are also logged respectively.
Since starting, the app updates have become more frequent which my husband and I appreciate, to give us peace of mind. My daughter has made lots of little connections to her peers at nursery and she often doesn’t even want to come home! I would highly recommend Little Acorns Nursery.

April 27, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff are very polite and welcoming. Wouldn’t wish for a nicer place. My granddaughter was well taught ready for her going to school with this being in place her school have commented on how far advanced she is. This could only mean they helped her along the way. My grandson also attends the nursery and is doing very well. Well done to all staff.

April 27, 2022 at 12:00 amA very good nursery to enrol your child in. They have excellent administration, and their staff are very professional and very trained. They put a lot of effort into achieving the goals of every child, they have time for the children, they have a very friendly environment, and their facilities are very well equipped and established. My son is very happy with the nursery. They give very detailed handover of the child always. I will recommend the nursery always.

September 23, 2022 at 12:00 amThis nursery felt like an informal franchise based off theory practices but in reality the education was poorly executed for my child in particular.
The preschool seemed chaotic, there was no attention to detail on my son and how he is developing. It felt like a playgroup rather than a nursery based on educational requirements.
Some staff were very nice and can’t fault them but do believe there needs to be more training involved.
Happy to discuss if required.

December 6, 2022 at 12:00 amMy eldest child attended this nursery when he was three and a half years old. We transferred him from another nursery due to the staff not being able to manage his challenging behaviour. We’ve looked at several nurseries around this area, but none made us feel at ease like this one. Highly trained staff managed to change his challenging behaviour in such a short period of time. My only regret is that I didn’t transfer him sooner! They had professional positive strategies, and he felt the warmth, love, and understanding by all staff.
We’ve seen an immediate positive change in his behaviour, he was finally given a proper chance of growing, while preparing him for school as well. Communication between each other is excellent, staff was very much involved in helping him and his wellbeing. It’s clean and has great outdoors. The food is amazing and works well for my second child (one-year-old), who goes here also, and she is a picky eater. They’ll always have a special place in my heart! I can’t recommend them enough!

February 7, 2023 at 12:00 amI have 8 Grandchildren of which 7 have or recently attend this Childcare Nursery. It really is amazing. I’m a former childcare practitioner and worked in many childcare environments but Little Acorns Drayton Basset is second to none in my experience and opinion. The fact that the turnover of staff is minimal (same dedicated staff as 13 years ago) speaks columns.
Highly recommend.

March 15, 2023 at 12:00 amThis is such a lovely nursery. Our daughter has been coming here since she was 15 months old and has spent time in both the baby room and the toddler room. She has flourished since being here and has a lovely relationship with her key worker. She is now nearly 2 and absolutely loves going to nursery. We really can’t fault it. The staff are so friendly and attentive and they make such an effort to get to know the children. We are very happy.

March 28, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending the nursery since September 2022. Very friendly members of staff who make my daughter feel at home. My daughter always comes home happy. It’s great to have feedback every day during pick-up. One friendly suggestion will be regarding communication from the management which sometimes can be a little slow. Overall, I am very satisfied with the service so far. Thank you.

March 28, 2023 at 12:00 amThe nursery staff are caring and always keep us informed with a detailed handover. My son enjoys the activities and they are always accommodating for ad hoc days when needed. They are good at taking on feedback and acting upon it too. Keep up the great work!

March 29, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Acorns has a warm, open, friendly environment – the preschool room have faced a lot of changes and still manage to have a smile on their face and keep the children as their main priority! My daughter is now 4 years old and has been here since she was 8 months. She has made unbreakable bonds with so many staff members and children in her class. She has flourished and grown into a bright and independent little girl!

March 29, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter is thriving at Little Acorns Nursery. She is given so much love and care from the staff. She speaks about them at home often! She’s made lots of friends, both staff and children. She’s happy to be dropped off in the mornings. They provide her with a lovely routine, lots of activities and yummy food which supports her development. All the team are always smiling and welcoming. Thank you for all your energy, support and excellent care you give. You all do an amazing job.

June 14, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Acorns has cared for my niece since she was 9 months old and now she is off to school in September. It will be a bittersweet goodbye to the nursery that has provided such a loving, warm and welcoming environment for my niece to learn. Her confidence has grown and have worked on getting her ready for “big school”. They eat well with a range of foods offered with regular updates on how she has eaten on the app. Observations and reports are of a very high standard and nothing is ever too much for the staff. The staff have become like family and are often a part of our role-play at home. Highly recommend this nursery and I will definitely be bringing my baby here one day.

July 11, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been going to Little Acorns Nursery since he turned 8 Months. I couldn’t thank the staff enough for taking good care of him. His development has been outstanding. They do different activities with them every day. The nursery provides a variety of food and caters to all needs

July 21, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have been with the nursery for a few years now, with 2 children in at the same time. This nursery has a real family feel to it, and the staff go the extra mile to make you as parents and the children feel part of the family. As parents, we always have specific needs and desires for our children, and the nursery staff are always happy to accommodate where possible. I’m glad I picked this nursery for my children.

August 3, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended since she was a year old. The staff are great, and nothing is too much trouble, always ready to accommodate. My daughter has come out of her shell since being at nursery and is so much more confident in social settings. The kids are always doing lots of fun activities, and she gets a variety of meals which is great.
I have to personally thank one lady for her continued care and dedication towards my child. It truly means a lot; you’re fab (as are the rest of the Daises team!).
