Little Acorns is a wonderful nursery in Padiham. Located just off the A671, it is also a convenient choice for families in Hapton, Rose Grove, Burnley, Altham, Huncoat, Read, Simonstone, Sabden, Higham, and Wood End.

The setting provides high-quality weekday childcare for children aged 3 months to 5 years. It's a warm, safe, and homely environment where children are nurtured in every area of their learning and development and feel valued. They learn through a combination of structured and free play plus an excellent curriculum delivered by high-quality practitioners.

Inside and out, the single-storey nursery is well-equipped with first-class facilities. They are fun, stimulating, age-appropriate, and are hand-picked to benefit children's learning and development. Babies have their own self-contained area with its own sleep room and sensory area. Outside, children benefit from a wild zone, a planting area and a garden where they can learn from nature. There is also a trike area, a mud kitchen, and much more.

As part of its Healthy Child Programme, the setting implemented a new, self-contained dining room in late 2023, aimed at recreating the feel of family mealtimes. It also boasts its own in-house chef who uses only the freshest, high-quality ingredients. All dietary requirements are catered for and the nursery has a 5-star Food Hygiene rating (February 2024).

The setting opens all year apart from a week at Christmas and public holidays. For the convenience of working parents, opening hours are from 7 am to 6 pm, and parents can keep abreast of their child's day and general progress through a smartphone app. All government-funded childcare schemes are supported, meaning free childcare is available for eligible children from as young as 9 months.

The team would love to show you/your child around the wonderful setting so you can see for yourselves how well your child would fit in.

I recommend this nursery from the bottom of my heart. The staff is absolutely amazing, they took the care to another level and I can definitely say I wouldn't trust anyone else to look after my kids as I trust them! The environment is absolutely wonderful for a child's development and that can be seen
in the children's dynamic. My daughter started in 2022 and we had no issues with anyone. I love how children are all friends and how they develop tight relationships with each other.

Fantastic nursery. Friendly, nurturing staff who are always approachable and will give above and beyond.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.989)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.989) out of 10 for Little Acorns Nursery, Padiham 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.989 for Little Acorns Nursery, Padiham is calculated as follows: ( (261 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.989

  • 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 Little Acorns Nursery, Padiham is based on 22 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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8, which has been reached with 22 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.
