I was worried about my daughter starting nursery but surprisingly she loves going to the nursery now. The staff are warm and friendly. I love the activities they engage the children in helping with their developmental growth. The updates I receive on the app during nursery keep me informed of my daughter's day without being with her. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nursery for their child.

Our daughter loves going to Nursery at Acorns Aviva. She settled in quickly and has made lots of friends with similar aged children grouped together. We are always impressed with the range of activities they get up to during the day, and are regularly surprised with the verbal and physical development we see in her. The updates via the app are great for information and peace of mind. The food included is an impressive seasonal menu with a good dietary variety, and the staff have always made us parents and our daughter feel welcome and listened to.

My 1 year old has recently started here and he has settled in very well. Staff have made the transition easy, I was worried how my child would take to it but he is happy and so am I. Key worker provides updates throughout the day on parentzone. Really pleased with how it's going so far.

We have been so happy to have both our children cared for at Acorns Aviva. The nursery is a small, warm caring community where all the staff and children all know each other. The building is bright, warm, spotless and well equipped. The staff genuinely know and care about each child as an individual. The food is freshly cooked on site each day, varied, nutritious and our children love it. Parent communication is excellent, and all accident/safeguarding processes appear to be very well set out and followed. The creative activities bring huge joy to my children. My children have grown in confidence, knowledge and life skills and ability through the care and support of the nursery. The fees are good value for this area with no added extras (food, nappies etc. All included in the fees, full 8-6 day). I feel 100% confident each day that they are being well looked after away from me, and I am so grateful to the nursery team for all that they do.

Our children are very happy in the nursery. Every effort is made to ensure children settle in well and routines are always followed. Staff members are professional and work hard to make sure our children feel happy and safe. They always have time to talk to parents. Parents evenings are appreciated and feedback in meetings show staff know children well. However, next steps aren't necessarily always appropriate. Learning goals could be made clearer. Children engage in a range of activities and these are always shared with parents but learning isn't always shared. The nursery environment is welcoming, clean and engaging. And outdoor space is used. We would absolutely recommend the nursery to others.

Both my children have been to Acorns Aviva and have loved it. The staff are brilliant, care deeply about the children and do amazing activities. It's a small nursery so the children know all the adults and build great relationships with them. I also love the fact that there is a male carer working at the nursery showing the young boys that caring is not just for girls.

Our daughter started at Acorns in September 2024 and since we have noticed such a change in her development which we partly put down to nursery and the different things she does there. She used to be really un-keen on anyone that wasn't immediate family but since coming to nursery this has changed for the better and her confidence in general things has definitely grown. All of the staff here are so lovely and kind and make us feel so reassured when our daughter is a bit upset at drop-off time. We know she's so well looked after. The nursery itself is always immaculate and tidy. Thank you all so much for being so lovely and looking after our daughter so well.

My son really enjoys his time at Acorns. They do so many arts and crafts and they are really lovely. All the staff are so welcoming and friendly and my son has thrived here. The food always sounds delicious and my son has such a good relationship with food which I put down to the varied menu.

We've had a very positive experience. The staff are wonderful, very friendly, enthusiastic and approachable. Our daughter settled in very quickly and enjoys going to nursery. The facilities are very good and they do a lot of activities, which is having a noticeable impact on our daughter's development. I'd definitely recommend this nursery.

My son has additional needs and the staff there go out of their way to make him feel secure and looked after, catering to his needs wherever possible. The senior nursery nurses are very good at their job and have a wealth of experience.

The staff are fantastic. Everyone is so friendly. My daughter loves going to the nursery. She is developing so well. I could not ask for more from a nursery. I fully recommend the nursery and plan to keep my daughter there long-term.

Our daughter loves the nursery and all the staff. The team are exceptionally attentive and really care for the children. Lots of activities and we are kept up to date at pickup or through the app. Can't recommend enough.

Acorns Aviva is a fantastic nursery. Both our children have loved coming here and it is great to see them literally jump with joy as they see their friends each morning knowing how happy and cared for they will be throughout the day. The team put on a wide variety of activities for the children, both indoors and outdoors, and the freshly cooked food is healthy and varied. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Lovely environment for my son to thrive within. All of the staff are so friendly and he is very happy walking into the Nursery. He doesn't even have time for a cuddle goodbye anymore. The range of tasks he completes has really brought on his development. He adores all the staff and knows most of their names. He often comes home with nice drawings and they always make an effort to celebrate all the major events in the UK and the world. Mother's day cards and Birthday present for him help make the personal touch. I would highly recommend and have encouraged other new parents to take their child also.

I'm really happy with this nursery, I always find the staff so positive, helpful, easy to approach and to talk to. They're always so enthusiastic and these are things that are very important to me. I know my son loves coming here and he's made such lovely friendships not only with the children but also with the staff. The facilities always look great, the food that I see from the menus sound brilliant and healthy. I love the app that we have that they use to upload photos and their learning progress. It's great to be kept in the loop and have updates that we can see and be involved with. And I find this has improved since last year when I found there weren't many updates being provided and I really missed being able to see what they get up to whilst they are there. But I've found over the last 6 months this has got better so I hope that continues as I love to see it. Keep up the great work everyone, you are doing fantastic.

Our daughter benefits massively from the support she gets at nursery. The team treat her as an individual and it’s clear that they really care about her well-being. From this support, she is able to comfortably operate within a group environment as well as taking time to explore things by herself. During our regular feedback sessions, we identified her speech as an area of concern and one of the members of staff took it upon herself to provide us with additional reading support and actions we could follow to help improve this. It was incredibly helpful and could see instant improvements. During a global pandemic, the team at Acorns must give themselves credit for the way they have operated and continued to develop our little humans.
