Acorns Henbury Hill is a charming listed building, which has impressive gardens and views that stretch for miles across the Bristol Channel. With plenty of open space this Forest School site is an exceptional resource that the children love to explore.

Spacious airy play rooms and play lofts with wonderful purpose-made resources ensure that every child has a wealth of opportunities to discover and explore.

Food is cooked on site by resident cooks, ensuring the children have home-cooked delicious healthy meals every day.

Regular visits by an Early Years Teacher follows the Foundation Phase which links with the National Curriculum to ensure children find the transitions from nursery to school as easy as possible, and home links and school links with local primary schools are encouraged. A SENCO coordinator provides additional support for children with additional needs.

All Acorns Nurseries operate an 'Open Door' policy and encourage prospective parents to come and have a look round at any time.

Friendly, caring staff and atmosphere. Children's needs always seem to be attended to and they are treated with warmth and compassion. Staff seem genuinely happy to be there and interacting with the children. Children clearly have strong bonds with staff members. Procedures and policies clear and well
thought out!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.544)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.544) out of 10 for Acorns Henbury Hill, Bristol is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.944 for Acorns Henbury Hill, Bristol is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.944

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acorns Henbury Hill, Bristol is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 100 number of registered child places is 20. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.6

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
