    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! Our daughter enjoys the activities this preschool has to offer.

    She keeps singing songs and talks about what she did with such excitement. She keeps saying that she loves her educators and that she loves playing with her new friends. She made a lot of new friendships which makes us truly cheerful. The team are incredible and truly welcoming and compassionate. Strongly suggest this childcare centre, we were truly worried how our daughter would get on because she is highly shy, but she settled truly quickly and now she can’t stop saying how much she loves going to childcare centre.

    She comes home highly cheerful and tired. They do lots with them, and it’s a truly lovely setting. She is developing as she should be, and that is thanks to the team. I adore my daughter’s childcare centre, it’s spotless and secure.

    My son consistently loved going and they did a excellent job preparing him for going into Reception. I would definitely suggest. Little Acorns is a remarkable preschool, with welcoming, attentive and supportive team.

    Our son started in September, but he was highly unsettled and would get highly upset at drop off. He’d spent so long with just family that this was all highly new to him. The team couldn’t be more supportive, they let us reduce his hour and increase them gradually, which truly 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 truly lovely relationship with all the team. Cheerful son and cheerful Mummy and Daddy. We have been so impressed with Southwater Pre-school; I have recommended them to my friends too.

    The team were attentive and supportive, the setting was well equipped and she blossomed into a confident kid, ready for school. I would highly suggest the setting and we were sad when she had to leave to attend school. My daughter went to Little Acorns and absolutely thrived.

    They are well looked after and consistently leave wanting to go back on there next session. Highly recommended What a exceptional preschool, both my daughters have attended Little Acorns and have thrived there, the team are all incredible and my girls adore it there.

    Both my girls attended this childcare centre and have gone onto the school in the grounds. It’s a lovely welcoming setting. Can’t fault the team as they are compassionate and help kids gain independence and learn through playtime. Being in the grounds of the infant school, they become highly familiar with the surroundings, helping them to settle in school more quickly too. Highly suggest. What a lovely childcare centre.

    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 excellent and consistently cheerful to help. I sense highly fortunate that one of the team is male, as he is a excellent role model and a rarity in nurseries. After spending nearly 4 years with my kids at this childcare centre, I honestly can’t suggest them enough. I have already had my eldest son attend Little Acorns, so for me, there was no doubt my youngest would also attend.

    She was highly 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 team have been exceptional and in just 8 weeks she’s gone from crying to being excited on the days she goes. She has lots of enjoyable and consistently comes out cheerful. My daughter started Little Acorns in September.

    He is becoming more independent and discovering new skills such as sharing and tidying up after himself. It’s excellent they are flexible with drop off and pick up to fit in with our lifestyle. Team are highly welcoming, and our son has settled in so well.

    He has grown self‑assurance in making new friends and can entertain himself alot better.
    He never has a problem going into the childcare centre, which I am so relieved to see. The team are exceptional with him, and he enjoys their company. Overall, I am highly cheerful with his start at childcare centre and highly proud of him for settling in so well. Thank you to all the team. My 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 kids.

    My daughter loves it here, from the enjoyable resources and activities to the exceptional attentive team. She loves her time there with all her friends and has grown so much in self‑assurance. This is such a lovely pre-school.

    My daughter has such a fantastic time there and has made lots of new friends which is excellent! She is singing songs daily that she has learnt and tells me all about her enjoyable-filled day! The team are so compassionate and attentive and highly expert-we are so pleased with all aspects of the childcare centre! 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! I can’t suggest Little Acorns enough!!

    The team are incredibly understanding on so many issues. They also helped one of my kids with a speech issue and spent time with her individually and it truly showed in her development week on week. The range of activities was vast and well thought out. My two kids both attended Little Acorns and have positively thrived in the setting.

    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 educators are all incredible.
    Thank you for looking after my daughter. Couldn’t be happier with the childcare centre.

    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 team have been so attentive, patient and flexible. I would have no hesitation recommending Little Acorns to others. We have been so impressed by the team at Little Acorns.

    The team there have helped her settle in highly quickly and it’s obvious to us that she feels comfortable enough to be herself. She is consistently super cheerful on childcare centre days and tells us she has truly great days there. Our youngest daughter has been attending Little Acorns since September this year.

    “ he absolutely loves it and gets so excited when we say today is a childcare centre day. His self‑assurance has grown so much and he has become more and more curious and asking questions. We’re truly enjoying hearing what he has been doing. He struggled with his colours but with help from the childcare centre and guidance from the team in some home discovering, he now can tell us most of them easily. The childcare centre is inviting, welcoming and all the kids run in to start their day. I couldn’t suggest the team and the setting enough. Our son wakes up every morning and says “am I going to Little Acorns today?

    The team are welcoming and attentive and they are focused on providing the best possible discovering setting for the kids. My son enjoys going and says he has lots of enjoyable. I could not be happier with Little Acorns Childcare centre School.
