October 20, 2020 at 12:00 amOur son wakes up every morning and says “am I going to Little Acorns today? “ he absolutely loves it and gets so excited when we say today is a nursery day. His confidence has grown so much and he has become more and more curious and asking questions. We’re really enjoying hearing what he has been doing. He struggled with his colours but with help from the nursery and guidance from the staff in some home learning, he now can tell us most of them easily. The nursery is warm, welcoming and all the children run in to start their day. I couldn’t recommend the staff and the setting enough.

November 10, 2020 at 12:00 amWe have been so impressed by the staff at Little Acorns. My little girl absolutely loves going and asks every morning whether it’s a preschool day. She’s an August baby and so one of the younger ones, and had a hard time settling in within the first week or so, but the staff have been so caring, patient and flexible. I would have no hesitation recommending Little Acorns to others.

November 11, 2020 at 12:00 amI can’t recommend Little Acorns enough!! My daughter has such a wonderful time there and has made lots of new friends which is great! She is singing songs daily that she has learnt and tells me all about her fun-filled day! The staff are so kind and caring and very professional-we are so pleased with all aspects of the nursery! I know that when she starts school next year, she will be more than ready, as was my son who also went there 2 years ago. 5 stars all round!

November 23, 2020 at 12:00 amI have already had my eldest son attend Little Acorns, so for me, there was no doubt my youngest would also attend. My youngest son was delayed in speaking and with the assistance of the team at Little Acorns, he has improved dramatically and I am confident that in September he will be ready for big school. The team are great and always happy to help. I feel very fortunate that one of the team is male, as he is a great role model and a rarity in nurseries. After spending nearly 4 years with my children at this nursery, I honestly can’t recommend them enough.

November 23, 2020 at 12:00 amWhat a lovely nursery. Both my girls attended this nursery and have gone onto the school in the grounds. It’s a lovely friendly environment. Can’t fault the staff as they are kind and help children gain independence and learn through play. Being in the grounds of the infant school, they become very familiar with the surroundings, helping them to settle in school more quickly too. Highly recommend.

November 23, 2020 at 12:00 amMy two children both attended Little Acorns and have positively thrived in the environment. The staff are incredibly understanding on so many issues. They also helped one of my children with a speech issue and spent time with her individually and it really showed in her development week on week. The range of activities was vast and well thought out.

November 23, 2020 at 12:00 amLittle Acorns is a fantastic preschool, with friendly, caring and helpful staff. My son always loved going and they did a great job preparing him for going into Reception. I would definitely recommend.

November 23, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter went to Little Acorns and absolutely thrived. The staff were caring and supportive, the setting was well equipped and she blossomed into a confident child, ready for school. I would highly recommend the setting and we were sad when she had to leave to attend school.

November 23, 2020 at 12:00 amStrongly recommend this nursery, we were really worried how our daughter would get on because she is very shy, but she settled really quickly and now she can’t stop saying how much she loves going to nursery. She keeps singing songs and talks about what she did with such excitement. She keeps saying that she loves her teachers and that she loves playing with her new friends. She made a lot of new friendships which makes us really happy. The staff are amazing and really welcoming and kind.

December 8, 2020 at 12:00 amOur youngest daughter has been attending Little Acorns since September this year. The staff there have helped her settle in very quickly and it’s obvious to us that she feels comfortable enough to be herself. She is always super happy on nursery days and tells us she has really good days there.

December 14, 2020 at 12:00 amI could not be happier with Little Acorns Nursery School. The staff are friendly and caring and they are focused on providing the best possible learning environment for the children. My son enjoys going and says he has lots of fun.

December 17, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter started Little Acorns in September. She was very unsettled to begin I think due to being at home with family for such a long time during the lockdown. It’s definitely been a year with lots of big changes but the staff have been brilliant and in just 8 weeks she’s gone from crying to being excited on the days she goes. She has lots of fun and always comes out happy.

February 10, 2022 at 12:00 amStaff are very friendly, and our son has settled in so well. He is becoming more independent and learning new skills such as sharing and tidying up after himself. It’s great they are flexible with drop off and pick up to fit in with our lifestyle.

February 11, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter enjoys the activities this preschool has to offer. Especially when they go out, such as to the library or to the woods! Her favourite thing they have done was the nativity show, and what a lovely show that was!

February 11, 2022 at 12:00 amThis is such a lovely pre-school. My daughter loves it here, from the fun resources and activities to the brilliant attentive staff. She loves her time there with all her friends and has grown so much in confidence.

February 11, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have been so impressed with Southwater Pre-school; I have recommended them to my friends too. Our son started in September, but he was very unsettled and would get very upset at drop off. He’d spent so long with just family that this was all very new to him. The staff couldn’t be more supportive, they let us reduce his hour and increase them gradually, which really helped. They also supported him but displaying a timeline for the morning so he knew what he would be doing and when he would be coming home. He is now completely settled; he gets so excited telling us what he’s done and has a really lovely relationship with all the staff. Happy son and happy Mummy and Daddy.

February 18, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started in January, and even though he has only had a month here, I have seen a big improvement in his behaviour at home and with other children. He has grown confidence in making new friends and can entertain himself alot better.
He never has a problem going into the nursery, which I am so relieved to see. The staff are brilliant with him, and he enjoys their company. Overall, I am very happy with his start at nursery and very proud of him for settling in so well. Thank you to all the team.

February 21, 2022 at 12:00 amCouldn’t be happier with the nursery. They look after my daughter so well. She often goes in without even saying bye because she’s so excited.
The activities they do, the facilities and the teachers are all amazing.
Thank you for looking after my daughter.

April 12, 2022 at 12:00 amI love my daughter’s nursery, it’s clean and safe. She comes home very happy and tired. They do lots with them, and it’s a really lovely setting. She is developing as she should be, and that is thanks to the staff.
