Acorns has been a fantastic nursery for my two daughters previously and most recently my son. All the staff are so welcoming and have made all of my children feel happy and secure in the nursery surroundings with their kind and loving nature that they have shown towards all of them. The staff still
take the time to talk to my eldest children on pickup and make them feel included in their younger brother's time there. The staff at Acorns provide stimulating and exciting activities for the children and they care about the quality of learning they provide for all age groups. My son enjoys the delicious menu too!
My son has progressed so well and has thoroughly enjoyed his time there.
It is an end of a fantastic era for us as a family. We shall miss everyone at Acorns lots. I am so so grateful for the wonderful experience we have had for the past 10 years at Acorns, one which we will never forget, and we can’t thank the staff highly enough for making that time so enjoyable.

Our child has been at the nursery since March 2021. We like the overall set-up of the nursery e.g. the rooms, toys, menu and staff and our daughter has progressed very well since she has been there. She has learnt basic sign language, her vocabulary has improved and she is very social having made lots
of friends. My only issue is the lack of communication from the nursery itself. We really have to ask lots of questions to find out what she has done during the day as the general response is 'she has been fine'. I would like more detail as to activities carried out during the day so that we can continue this into the evening and discuss at home. The Learning Book does not get updated on a regular basis and therefore I am unable to see how the nursery carries out activities in line with the EYFS.

Reply from Emma, Nursery Manager at Partou Acorns in Adel Day Nursery & Pre-school

I cannot praise this nursery enough. It is such a caring environment. The staff know the children so well and make sure to provide lots of different things for them to do. My son loves the staff! They feel like family.

I have had two children attend Acorns-in-Adel, in the Baby Room and Tweenies. They have both enjoyed their time there, and both have benefitted from the loving attention of the staff. The staff have also been really helpful when managing toilet training, and the managers are very flexible in terms
of offering extra days if needed. Over the last couple of years, more use has been made of the online app in order to chart my children’s development and provide photos of them with their friends. This was particularly nice to see during the periods of lockdown as parents weren’t allowed into the nursery at that time. Overall we have been pleased to send our children to Acorns-in-Adel.

The nursery have been great with my child catering to his individual traits and building on these, the amount they go outside seems to be increasing which is great for him. I really think the food is excellent and the staff. Wish the preschool had as much access to outside space as tweenies room but
understand the building doesn't allow for this

Acorns is a lovely nursery. Both my children are there presently and always return home excited to tell me about their busy days. They have fun activities, but also get monitored closely, and have upcoming events (special meals, fancy dress parties) to keep them interested!

Fantastic nursery, our son has attended from 9 months old and has just turned 3. All the staff have been fantastic from baby room, through tweenies and up to pre-school. He loves attending and always has a smile on his face when myself or my partner pick him up. The staff always actively engage with
the children and all have a genuine care and interest in their behaviour, growth, and education. The food served for meals is always healthy and varied to give the children a balanced healthy diet and to help them explore new meals they may not always encounter at home. Our second child will be attending in due course and I would always recommend Acorns to friends. Fantastic by all.

Highly recommend Acorns-in-Adel Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Adel. The staff are fantastic, nothing is ever too much. The meals are freshly made and to any dietary requirements, my little girl is allergic to dairy and they go out of their way to ensure her meals are made separately with alternatives.
Acorns-in-Adel Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Adel is a lovely nursery and my little girl is always so happy to go.

Our family have been using Acorns-in-Adel since our eldest son attended from January 2014 and it really has become part of the family. We have experienced all three settings in the nursery twice over now and can highly recommend the teams. Both our sons have and do love the time they spend here. Each
team has had a different input into the development of our children, but it is very clear that whichever room they spend time in, the staff really do care about and support the children in their care. The food they are provided with is also excellent with such an amazing variety. Thank you acorns team, you have really helped our boys develop into who they are today.

I cannot praise Acorns enough. Our daughter has been in the baby room now for four months. She settled in very quickly, the staff have got to know her and have built lovely bonds with her. The transition to going back to work has been made so much easier knowing I am leaving her with someone with whom
she is happy and thriving. I can tell how much she likes the staff, blowing kisses to them as she leaves and having a big smile on her face when I drop her off. I have no faults, communication is excellent and the staff are fantastic.

My son loves his days at nursery. All the staff know him well and he settled very quickly. It is a home from home and I would recommend it to other parents. I can call if I have concerns, such as my son feeling unhappy or unwell and they are happy to update me when he has had breakfast. He has never
had a problem. We love it.

Acorns have been brilliant over the last year since my daughter started nursery in the baby room. The staff are incredible and made the transition back to work so much easier for me knowing she was being so well looked after and having fun. I can’t thank them enough. She has thrived there.

The manager and her team consistently went out of their way to ensure the needs of my son were met. Nothing was ever too much trouble even when we requested he had a gluten, wheat and dairy-free diet.
The progress my son is making is amazing. My son has special needs and was pre-verbal when he started
and, due to the dedication of the staff, when he left he was starting to put words into sentences. The care and love they showed to him was incredible and I was always very happy to leave him. He was always happy to go to nursery, running down the drive and happily saying bye to me. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

I am happy to say that my daughter really enjoys her days at Acorn's and always seems to be having fun when I pick her up at the end of the day. Since moving into the Tweenies room, in particular, her development has come on significantly and she seems to like the structure and routine that this setting
offers. The staff are all lovely and take an active interest in each individual child and are very supportive on things like potty training.
Thank you to all the staff at Acorns for providing a safe, secure and happy environment for my daughter.

My daughter has been attending Acorns-in-Adel Private Day Nursery for 3 months now. She loves going and is always happy to see her key worker and the other staff in the baby room. I love all the little updates that I receive on the portal and I am kept well informed of my daughter's routine. The homemade
food goes down particularly well with my daughter! The nursery manager is very helpful and always responds quickly to my emails if I have any queries.

A wonderful nursery and preschool. My two children are very happy there. It is a caring and nurturing environment, with a real family feel. The preschool have done a great job getting my four year old ready for school.

My 17 month old daughter has recently started at Acorns and so far I can’t recommend them enough. They are professional and really care for the children in their care. My daughter was crying when she was first left but within 10 minutes she had settled and was playing with her key worker. I think as
time goes on she will settle really well at Acorns and we are more than happy with them.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.877)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.877) out of 10 for Partou Acorns in Adel Day Nursery & Pre-school 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.877 for Partou Acorns in Adel Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.877

  • 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 Partou Acorns in Adel Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 13 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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
