April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amMy eldest child attended Little Acorns from 9 months old until he left for school and absolutely thrived there. Therefore I did not hesitate when deciding where to send my youngest son. He has been there since he was a baby and has come on leaps and bounds. The nursery has such a homely feel to it and all the staff are so friendly and easy to approach. The care they show towards the children is second to none. I have always felt completely comfortable when leaving my children here and the safeguarding procedures in place are very reassuring.
Communication between the nursery and parents is also great. There are regular open evenings for families where we get to see my son’s work and progress and I love this. I would really recommend Little Acorns to any parent and I am very grateful of the care and support they have provided me and my 2 sons with (and continue to do so)

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Acorns have been incredible with our little girl. She started as such a shy baby and has now grown up into a little girl with so much character and confidence and I put that down to the staff at nursery. We get constant updates, welcome advice and a whole host of stories on pick up! Thank you Little Acorns for taking that weekday pressure away and making the whole process a dream.

April 17, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Little Acorns since he was 8 months old. He loves attending and it has brought him on so much. The nursery caters for his dairy allergy and ensures he is always included. All the food is freshly prepared on site which is an added bonus.
Highly recommended!

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Acorns is an amazing nursery. They treat the children like their own. They nurture, educate and help the children build confidence. My son has learnt so much in his time here and people tell me he’s so clever and grown up – I put this down to the quality of teaching at this nursery. The safeguarding is second to none and you feel like your child is safe whilst there. The manager and team are amazing!

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amMy husband and I really rate Little Acorns, we have 4 children and each has/currently attends. Our children’s development has come on loads since attending. We love the optional extras of swimming and languages, we love the great learning environment and how our children’s interests inform their learning plans, but most of all we love that the staff genuinely care about our children and we feel comfortable leaving them in Little Acorns care.

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amBrilliant nursery, all the staff are lovely and my daughter loves going here. The staff ensure activities are engaging and planned around children’s interests and developmental needs and the food menu is great and varied. All the rooms are well equipped for each age group and the outdoor area has lots of space and activities. The nursery engages very well with parents and I would recommend Little Acorns to anyone who is looking for a nursery in the Atherton area.

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amFantastic staff, children’s best interests at heart. Always listen and are willing to help where needed, both my children love attending and all the staff. They facilitate learning and have the child’s needs at the forefront of everything they do.

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Acorns is an excellent nursery, All the staff go above and beyond. My son has been here since he was 9 months old and he will be starting school this September. He has developed and grown into such a caring, kind and clever little boy and I believe Little Acorns have helped with this. I will be extremely sad when he leaves this nursery as he loves it so much and has such a special bond with the staff that work here. I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough!

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been going to this nursery since 11 months of age. They made going back to work so easy knowing he would be so well cared for. In fact, I had his name down for this nursery when I was pregnant, I didn’t even look at any other nurseries as all my nephews went here and were so cared for and so well established due to the amazing role the nursery played. They always plan activities around children’s interests and needs. They always do so much learning, laughing and playing and we are regularly updated by a learning book which is so great to see all the lovely pictures they share. The staff always go above and beyond and are always willing to answer any questions and give you updates. The facilities are brilliant and my son always comes home happy every day. They are great and would really recommend this nursery.

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amAbsolutely amazing nursery, brilliant staff and a very nurturing environment for my child highly recommended. My boy is in the babies room which could do with a few more engaging toys to which I will be donating very shortly. But the staff looking after him are great and they all deserve a pay rise in my opinion!

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amOur granddaughter loves going to nursery and has really grown in confidence in her preppies class thanks to the great staff. She is due to start swimming lessons soon which she is really looking forward to.

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amSince my daughter first attended back in 2020 the whole team has been nothing short of amazing, especially the nursery manager.
No matter what situation good or bad she is there for you 100% which gives you a sense of comfort as you know your child and other children are their number one priority.
My daughter has grown and developed/developing into an amazing little girl extremely clever, confident, happy and caring and nursery has a huge huge part of this with how they teach, learn and communicate with the children.
Also, they don’t just sit around inside, they have a brilliant outside play area and also plan field trips which the kids just love and also take them swimming once they’re in the last stages of nursery which I think is brilliant.
Everything about this nursery is amazing.
Thank You to all the nursery team for everything you’ve done/doing for my daughter and myself so far.

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son is almost 3 years old and has been going to Little Acorns Nursery since he was 9 months old. He sees the staff as his family and absolutely loved going! If he is ever feeling unwell or tired from our early morning wake-up calls, the staff are always quick to cuddle and squeeze him when he arrives, to provide the support he requires. One of the staff members often has his breakfast laid out ready for his arrival because she knows him so well!
I have never had an issue with anything, I will truly be sad when my son has to leave for Primary School.

April 23, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child loves going to this nursery, they get outside whatever the weather which is really important to me. The staff are so friendly and he has made bonds with them quickly. They are keen to find out his interests and plan around any of these. They keep us updated with progress and communicate well.

April 23, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little boy is currently in the Tweenies room and really enjoys going. He does a wide range of activities which he thoroughly enjoys. The nursery staff really take an interest in the child’s interests and try to promote these at nursery. The staff are all really lovely and friendly too. We get a warm welcome every morning.

April 23, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter enjoys attending nursery. The nursery offer extra activities including swimming and language lessons. They have regular open evenings to discuss your child. They arrange special activities such as farm visits and dressing up for events such as the King’s Coronation and Christmas. I would recommend this nursery.

April 25, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child has attended Little Acorns Private Day Nursery and Pre-school full time, from the baby room through to the pre-school. There honestly hasn’t been a single day where she hasn’t been happy and excited to go in. She’s come on so much through the years and aside from academically, the nursery has also provided support in life stages such as walking, toilet training etc. When selecting a nursery, one of things that drew me to Little Acorns was the additional activities like days out, swimming, Spanish lessons etc. and these have not disappointed.

April 27, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son has attended since he was 6 months old, we looked at several nurseries in the area but once we visited, we were in no doubt where we wanted him to go, the nursery stands out from the rest. There are a lot of long-standing staff, management are approachable. The nursery is run to a very high standard. There are daily posts on social media which are amazing, and the activities the staff create are so engaging. There are lots of extras too; swimming lessons, French and Spanish lessons, Just Nature Days, we have recently attended a parent’s evening where we got to stay for a ‘stay and play session’ and hear all about his development, there was also a delicious buffet. The food is all freshly cooked from scratch by the nursery cook, I wish I could eat there! There is a garden party in a few weeks with a mobile farm. The outside area is a hidden gem. The staff are nurturing and treat the children like their own, they go above and beyond each and every day.

May 25, 2023 at 12:00 amAmazing nursery. All staff are very caring and have a genuine bond with my children, even after my eldest left for school, he is still welcomed by all staff when he comes to collect his sister. Both my children have developed well with the help of Little Acorns providing an amazing environment. They offer swimming lessons and Spanish lessons and also do just nature days which my daughter especially loves. I will be very sad when my youngest leaves for school as Little Acorns has been a big part of our lives for the last 4 years

May 25, 2023 at 12:00 amWe weighed up about five nurseries before choosing this one and we’re so glad we did. Our daughter was a lockdown baby so we decided to put her into nursery earlier than planned, at six months old, in order to socialise. She was a very shy baby, but the staff have gone above and beyond with her. We had her parents evening recently (she’s nearly three now) and the difference in her is phenomenal. She’s chatty, confident, plays well and all this has really been taught and nurtured in her whilst at nursery (she’s in five days a week). I also love that the nursery make an effort to put on events for the kids (and parents too). We are looking forward to the garden party next week. Huge praise for the staff, if we have another child we know where we’re sending them!
