We don’t charge for settling in sessions, but we do expect payment for all nursery fees to be paid up front at the beginning of each month, which is standard practice for all childcare providers. We do not charge for bank holidays, our four training days each year, or for the three days closure between Christmas and New Year. We do, however, charge for the days children don’t attend through illness or holidays, apart from exceptional circumstances.

They have grown in confidence massively and built great friendships.

The staff are so welcoming every day, very friendly and professional. My daughters will miss them.

My son loves nursery and I sometimes even struggle to get him to come home, over the last year since moving up to the last year of nursery the changes I've seen in my son are amazing he can count into the teens, he can sing his ABCs and can identify every colour and the standard shapes. I have expressed my concerns about my son not being interested in writing but the nursery have reassured me that this is quite normal in boys of his age and they are helping me by encouraging drawing at nursery.
I can't fault the staff or facilities it is an amazing nursery and the opening times and prices make it worth my while whilst working.

The nursery space is great and the outdoors is fantastic, it was one of the things that sold the nursery to us, we love how often the children are outside playing and exploring, the addition of the chickens was great too.
In the time that our little one has been at the nursery, she has gone from a quiet, shy girl to a confident outgoing crazy girl and the staff at the nursery really have helped her gain this confidence and come out of herself. The staff always have great activities to do and go along with what the children would like to try too. You do feel that all of the staff really care about your child and their welfare.
The nursery is a warm welcoming environment, the staff welcome all of the children by name, I would recommend to anyone looking for a safe place for their little one.

The Review Score of 10 (9.954) out of 10 for Acorn Day Nursery (Burton Latimer) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.954 for Acorn Day Nursery (Burton Latimer) is calculated as follows: ( (332 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 347 Ratings = 4.954
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 Acorn Day Nursery (Burton Latimer) is based on 29 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 93 number of registered child places is 18.6, which has been reached with 29 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.
