Baby Acorns in Roath near Cardiff city centre, is a bright, spacious nursery with beautiful gardens.

It has sensory equipment, toys and activities to nurture babies and toddlers and encourage them to explore new colours, shapes and activities.

When a baby reaches the age of two and a half, a partner nursery in Oakfield Street will welcome them as they move up, along with their group and key carer.

The children receive nutritious fresh food to feed healthy minds and healthy bodies. The children benefit from a tasty breakfast, a two course lunch, high tea and a 5.30 pm snack. Cooking activities are popular at the nursery, with the children eager to take part in food tasting sessions.

A Forest school, sensory play, music and movement and many other activities all contribute to each child's development.

Baby acorns has been a joy to take my daughter to. The staff are the loveliest people and we couldn't be happier that she is spending a few days with them every week. We love how happy the staff are to tell us everything she has been up to in the day. Our only issue is that the parking can be frustrating.

We are really happy with the care that Baby Acorns offers our son, he is really happy there. I was very anxious at the start but they helped him settle so quickly and now he loves being dropped off. The environment is so warm and cosy and the food is excellent. Our son has come on leaps and bounds with
confidence since starting to play with other children and the staff treat them like they are their own. It is on the more expensive end of the scale for the area but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. They do so many activities with them too - far more than me at home! A lovely nursery.

My daughter loves her days at nursery here. I can see how much she is thriving and gets from her time with the team. I can't praise their care enough.
Staff are so friendly and caring. Always going that extra bit further to make me as a parent feel settled leaving my baby and my daughter just adores
them.
Always a warm welcome. Very clean, bright and great facilities inside and out for the children. My daughter is engaged and learning (without realising it) every day. Great activities planned (you can tell time and effort is put into the planning).
My daughter definitely enjoys her meal times as well, always well balanced and a great variety of food. Location is also very convenient. Great nursery, I highly recommend.

All aspects of the Baby Acorns experience have been excellent. The organisational aspects (email correspondence, contacting for illness, newsletters) are superb. The attentive care our daughter receives with the team is second to none. They were extremely supportive of both us as new parents and our
daughter during the settling-in stages too. The team are so lovely at pick up and drop off and always gives us a personalised update of the day. Our daughter is blossoming into a wonderful little human in their care and we couldn't be more happy with the service the team provide.

Our 2-year-old son absolutely loves going to Baby Acorns over the last year. He's developed so much and learning new things every day and has become such a happy and sociable child. All the staff are super friendly and go above and beyond for all the kids. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.
Thanks!

We have had such an amazing experience at Baby Acorns. Our little girl started when she was around 10 months old and has flourished over the last year and a half. The level of care and attention to detail shown by the staff is exceptional. They have formed great relationships with ourselves, as parents,
but most importantly, our little girl adores her key workers and is so happy there.
Would highly recommend Baby Acorns.

After visiting many nurseries around Cardiff, we feel Baby Acorns was definitely the right choice for us.
Our child has settled in really well and I feel happy knowing what a great environment he's in. Everything is just right, the building, the garden and facilities are well set up. Lovely people
work here and clearly care about looking after and engaging with the children.

We were very anxious when placing our child into the nursery. We wanted to ensure he was happy and safe and had an environment where he could thrive! Baby Acorns has all that and more! It is fantastic! The staff are friendly, professional, approachable and very knowledgeable in childcare. Our son runs
into the nursery every week and never looks back. I can go to work content in knowing how happy he is throughout the day.
Receiving photos via an app they use always brightens my day!
We would highly recommend Baby Acorns to anyone who was thinking of placing their child into daycare.

We have been blown away by the care and support provided by Baby Acorns, Roath. Our daughter had thrived in this setting and had made plenty of friends. The staff are always welcoming, friendly and kind and we could ask for a better service. The updated daily and through the app provide a great insight

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for Baby Acorns, Roath 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.922 for Baby Acorns, Roath is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.922

  • 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 Baby Acorns, Roath is based on 15 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 15 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.
