Acorns Aviva is a great nursery. I know my son is in safe hands and he loves going. Nothing seems too much trouble and all the staff are welcoming and friendly. My son has a food allergy and the chef and the team go above and beyond to make sure he doesn't have anything he shouldn't.

This is such a lovely nursery that offers an excellent standard of care. Both of my children love coming here. There are lots of interesting activities for them that are fun and educational. Delicious and nutritious meals. And the staff really care about the children and help guide them through key
milestones. Couldn’t be more pleased with this excellent nursery and I would definitely recommend them.

Such a lovely little nursery, with kind and caring staff who have been amazing during the Covid-19 pandemic. The care is second to none. The activities they provide I can’t rate highly enough. My niece loves coming to nursery and its lovely to see how much she enjoys it when I pick her up.

My child has the best experience in the nursery. He absolutely loves it here. The activities are stimulating and fun, the outdoor space is fantastic. He eats better here than what he does at home, which is reassuring as he’s a fussy eater. The management team are fantastic and solve any problems. I
can’t recommend this nursery enough.

It's always nerve racking leaving your child at nursery when they start for the first time. It was made more difficult with the pandemic but everyone at Acorns Aviva are so lovely. They made us and my son feel really welcoming. I really like that the nursery provide healthy meals for the children. They
are always very welcoming when seeing them at the beginning and end of the day and always greet you with a smile.

Couldn’t ask for a better nursery, the staff are fantastic and my little girl loves spending her days there. The staff are so kind and always there to offer reassurance and advice. My little girl has come on so much since attending nursery and her little character is shining through. This is all down
to the manager and her team.

I cannot rate Aviva Acorns highly enough. My daughter is so happy there and I am 100% confident that they are caring for her as well as I could hope for. The staff are fantastic and are always available to talk to if I need to check on her. She is thriving in their care.

Extremely convenient to use due to it being at work and very reasonably priced, however that is secondary to the excellent care our child (and elder child now in school) receives. My son always comes out happy and having a good day and makes some really good bonds with the staff, especially his key
worker. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

The staff at Aviva Acorns are all excellent. They take such great care of the children and put so much effort in and it is never too much trouble to serve breakfast for latecomers or to coax on new shoes. The activities are very enriching and creative, watching eggs hatch and caring for chicks, building
'hot air balloons' for a fiesta in Bristol and the art the children make is very imaginative. The food menu looks fantastic and smells lovely in the mornings. It is well balanced and staff make the effort to give lots of encouragement to help them try new things. The kids are really well behaved and staff seem to keep very good discipline.

Our second child attends Acorns nursery within the Aviva centre and we are as happy with it as the first time. We cannot fault any aspect of the nursery. All of the staff are just wonderful and our children are and have been, very pleased to attend the setting, which is all we can ask for.
The quality
of care is outstanding and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone that is able to get their child in there. Well done ladies.

My daughter has attended the nursery for the last 3 years and she loves it. She enjoys going there and she loves all the staff. We are very happy with the care provided and the activities they do we are informed every day of what they have done and we have regular meetings with the key worker to discuss
the progress. The food provided is also very good with lots of varieties and healthy.

My son loves his time at Aviva Acorns. Being attached to our office, it is convenient and good value for money. More importantly, the staff really know my son. His key workers feel part of the family. They don't push learning in a classroom way but my son is picking up an impressive knowledge of numbers,
alphabet etc through play and songs. He has a lovely group of friends and we are very happy.

I love the nursery. They look after my child extremely well. I always know they are happy and safe. The only small thing at the moment is the new menu. It seems quite funny and fussy and it doesn't seem very popular with the children yet. Not sure if this will change!
I love the nursery though, so
thank you everyone who works there!

My husband and I feel our son's development physically, socially and cognitively has benefited from attending Acons for one day per week. We feel confident in the care and attention our son receives during his time at Acorns. We are always fully informed of his daily activities as well as any significant
events milestones that have been achieved.

My daughter is very happy at Acorns and is well looked after by all staff. Staff are friendly and always on hand to share information and share advice. The range of activities and resources available are brilliant and there’s lots on offer. The nursery is bright and clean and always smells delicious,
the smell of lunch cooking always makes me hungry. My daughter eats better than I do! Thank you Acorns you all do a great job.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.925)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.925) out of 10 for Acorns Aviva 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.925 for Acorns Aviva is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.925

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acorns Aviva is based on 10 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 33 number of registered child places is 6.6, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
