Overall Experience

Since starting the nursery in January our son has had such a wonderful experience. It took him a while to settle with drop off's, but staff have been amazing at helping our son settle in to the nursery whilst reassuring us daily. We love the forest schools element. Our son loves being outside and the

staff are great at making it an adventure, being outside in nature and participating in different activities. We couldn't be happier with our choice in the nursery, the kind, caring nature of the staff have helped us all with the transition into nursery. We can't thank Acorns Sharnbrook day nursery enough for all they have done and continue to do!

Overall Experience

My son has attended this nursery since September and I honestly couldn't be happier with how well he has settled in, all the staff are fantastic so kind, caring and nurturing, my son is very fond of them all he is always speaking so highly of them. There are lots of different activities and fun things

for the children to do, they have great outdoor space which is full of lots of things for the children to do. The food is very healthy and nutritious even my fussy little boy enjoys the meals and majority of the time eats everything. The nursery setting is located in a lovely place very safe and secure. They have an app in which they do daily updates of what the children are getting up to, what they have eaten etc. Every parents wish is to know their child is in safe hands and being well taken care of and I don't have to think twice about this. Thank you so much to all the staff at Acorn Day Nursery for taking care of my little boy on a daily basis your all doing an amazing job.

Overall Experience

Acorn Day Nursery at Sharnbrook. My son has been going to Acorn Day Nursery in Sharnbrook since he was 11 months old. His key worker and the team were brilliant at getting him to settle in quickly and were so lovely when he wasn't well. We've really noticed his development advance since he's been going

and he loves all the activities and the food.

Overall Experience

I cannot thank all the staff at Acorn enough, specifically those in the Squirells room. They have been understanding and very kind during my daughter's transition into childcare. Nothing was too much trouble and they were fantastic with communication throughout the day. They didn't rush us to increase

our hours and made sure our timetable suited my daughter's progress above all. She is now absolutely thriving, no tears and cannot wait to go to nursery and have fun. 5-star experience, fantastic team!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to Acorn at Sharnbrook now since May and she's developed so much. The staff are lovely and I love the fact you can keep track of what she has been up to during the day, what has been eaten and just a general overview of her being happy. The staff always respond quickly to

any questions and I love the atmosphere there. They are able to get stuck in, mucky, explore, dance, exercise and have quiet time too. It's a fab place and my eldest went there before as well.

Overall Experience

Our son has been at Acorn Nursery in Sharnbrook since April this year and absolutely thrives here.
The fact that he just walks in with no fuss when dropping him makes it a lot easier to go to work for the day.
All the activities indoor and out, it's not surprising.
The amount of updates and pictures

are great to see what he's been up to.
Highly recommend to any parent, especially those with an active child and wanting to be outdoors as much as they can.

Overall Experience

Our daughter loves Acorns! She's been going since she was 10 months old and can't wait to get there each morning. The staff always have something exciting and intriguing for the children to do, and we've noticed our daughter's development really benefiting from their carefully curated activities. The

food is nutritious and sometimes they get the children to help prepare some of the snacks and meals. Our daughter's social and physical development has skyrocketed and we love the observations that staff make on the app, categorising which areas of development we're focused on. The communication with the nursery through the app is amazing, we love seeing what they're up to! I'd highly recommend Acorn Day Nursery in Sharnbrook to anyone thinking about enrolling their child. I can't fault the staff and their friendly, attentive attitude towards the children and parents.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Acorn Nursery in Sharnbrook for four months now. I was so nervous about starting her at nursery, but she has settled in so well, she loves the staff there and walks in with no problems at all. We have seen her confidence grow since she has been there. The way she plays with other

children now I have a lot to thank the staff at Acorn for. When I collect her I can see how much fun she has had, few occasions she hasn't wanted to leave. The staff have been fantastic with her and are continually helping her to develop. The setting and activities they do with the children are great, my daughter loves the outdoors and Acorn at Sharnbrook Forest School is brilliant!

Overall Experience

Both of my daughters (6 and 3 years old) have attended Acorn Sharnbrook since they were 6 months old. Both of them have loved their time here and have been so happy. As parents, we have been really impressed with the care they have received and the activities they have been able to engage in. Both of

our girls have really loved the Forest School sessions and I have loved seeing their journey through the app. We especially love the way they do so much cooking, often making their own snacks, and making their own playdoh daily. We really don’t have a bad word to say about Acorn at all. Thank you for all that you do for our girls!

My baby has loved every minute of being there and has developed far quicker than I thought he would - he loves all the activities

they do and the staff are fantastic with him, I could not recommend this nursery enough!

Nothing but great things to be said about Acorn Nursery in Sharnbrook!
As the same as most mums I was worried when I had to go back to work to leave my daughter but Acorn Nursery has helped me from day one. My daughter loves going in every day with no problems. She loves the staff and all the activities

they get up to. Especially the forest school/ outside which is always her favourite!
Always recommend this nursery to friends and family!

Our daughter loves going to Acorns Nursery at Sharnbrook. She has settled in quickly, and all the staff have been great with her. Her confidence has grown in such a short space of time, and we feel that her attending Acorns has contributed hugely to this - interacting with other children, accessing

the outside space and the variety of activities that are put out for the children. The staff are always friendly and engaging, and we always love receiving updates about our daughter's day!

Overall Experience

Our son has attended Acorn Day Nursery in Sharnbrook for approximately two years now, and he absolutely loves it there. On weekends, he asks for his key workers and genuinely misses being there with them! The activities and variety he is exposed to are amazing. Our two older children went to a different

nursery back then due to location, and I 100% believe that Acorn is a much better setting - this child has settled much quicker, and some days, he doesn't seem to want to come home. He is learning quickly and growing up fast, becoming a very independent boy.

Our twins joined Acorn Day Nursery eight months ago, and can honestly say, it’s been a fantastic eight months - I feel 100% happy leaving our twins here. The staff are very friendly, enthusiastic and always smiling.
The twins have been supported with their individual needs and us as a family also!
I

love the daily updates on the app seeing the care given, pictures and memories.
They both have such a good bond with their key person and regular messages/updates.
Highly recommend this setting to other parents.
Thank you, Acorn Nursery.

Overall Experience

We chose Acorn Nursery in Sharnbrook due to its Forest school and environmental ethos. My husband and I feel it is important for children to be active, outside as much as possible and to learn about their environment. Acorn Sharnbrook has gone above and beyond our expectations in these respects, our

daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at nursery.
Staff are knowledgeable, caring, supportive, friendly and fun. I feel comfortable asking for advice on a wide range of topics and supported in decision-making.
I’m always impressed with the wide range of activities the children partake in. Activities are creatively organised with a clear focus on education, enjoyment and there is also more often than not a link to environmental awareness.
We are kept up to date efficiently throughout the day on our daughter’s movements. We are also kept in the loop about nursery and organisation objectives and feel that our thoughts and opinions are valued and respected.

Overall Experience

Acorns Sharnbrook is a wonderful, nurturing, fun environment for children. The location is superb with lots of time outdoors exploring, not to mention the brilliant forest school sessions. The on-site chef is fabulous so the children eat very well with a varied menu. Its eco-school status and strong

ties to the community (regular visits to the local care home and village) add extra variety and substance to their activities.
Our second child suffered separation anxiety when starting nursery and took a long time to settle but the staff and her key workers in particular were simply wonderful. Their nurturing approach really helped her to feel more comfortable there, so much so that her recent transition to the Squirrels room went incredibly smoothly. She comes home full of chatter about the fun they’ve had which is a delight to hear! The regular videos and photos posted on the app are brilliant to receive whilst at work.
I cannot recommend Acorns Sharnbrook highly enough.

Overall Experience

Acorn Nursery at Sharnbrook is an excellent provision, the whole ethos of the nursery is child-centred. The staff are kind and compassionate yet fun and engaging. They are passionate about what they do and developing the children in their care.
There are always different activities available to the

children and they spend lots of time outside. The nursery has a lovely garden/outdoor area and the children regularly attend a woodland experience on site which was just one of the things that initially attracted us to the nursery.
The staff were extremely accommodating with settling-in sessions and were child-led throughout working with us as parents to ensure that our child had the best possible start. Communication is brilliant throughout the day and at the start/end of each session and nothing is ever too much trouble.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. It has a lovely atmosphere and the setting has really benefited my child.

Overall Experience

Absolutely love this nursery, we have both our girls here in different rooms and they always come home happy.
Our eldest loves the Oaks room, the staff always put on exciting activities for her to join in with and she loves the outdoor activities in the garden and forest school every week.
The Acorn

room has been incredible for our youngest, we weren’t sure how she would be going to nursery but the staff made the transition so easy for her. They were also the ones who picked up on her allergy when no one else did and catered for her so well, I’m so grateful for them caring for her like they do.
I can’t recommend the nursery or the people who work here enough. They do great things with the kids that I could never imagine doing, definitely easing that mum guilt a little bit!

Overall Experience

We have been thrilled and delighted in equal measure by our experience in the Squirrels room at Acorn Nursery. Our daughter is given the most enriching of activities to take part in and is stimulated, stretched and, most importantly, cherished by the staff. The Squirrels leader and her team go above

and beyond to make each day for the children creative and memorable. We hugely appreciated the personalised feedback and the regular photo updates. It is no wonder that we have seen such a rise in our daughter's confidence and fascination with the outdoors since she started coming here. Thank you to all of you!
