I have two children who attend this nursery and both are cared for at the highest standard and with the most care and attention possible. My eldest has recently had to wear a patch on his eye for large parts of the day and they have been fantastic at following my requests for him to wear it and adhering to the times I've asked, his caseworkers know him so well and are able to negotiate with him about keeping it on. They do a better job than me most days. The activities are also fantastic, Yoga, sports, painting, STEM activities Both of my children have thrived here. I wouldn't have sent them anywhere else!

The Acorns ONS nursery facility is impeccable in every aspect. The team are extremely friendly and professional, constantly striving to provide a wide variety of activities for all ages. Safeguarding and cleanliness are top priorities and this is clear to see from the moment you set foot through the door. It is a place where your child will thrive and flourish, offering an environment that fosters learning, encourages development and exudes happiness.

We've always been very impressed by the care and attention given by all staff. All staff know all children not just their key workers. There's good support and building relationships for transitions to new classes. Wide range of activities for all age groups. Excellent communication with parents. Our child has never turned down a meal.

My daughter has attended Acorns ONS for just over a year, she is so happy and settled. She always goes in with a big smile and confidently walks off with a member of staff. The staff at this nursery have helped my child’s learning and development massively and I look forward to what’s yet to come in the next year before she goes to school. She loves the activities she takes part in and loves telling me all about her day at collection, as well as having really in-depth handovers from the staff at the end of the nursery day. I’d highly recommend Acorns ONS to any parent I know.

Fantastic nursery and great communication and my daughter loves it there. The app is brilliant, having visibility and updates throughout the day is fantastic and puts me at ease every day. Staff are always pleasant and there to help when needed.

Such an amazing nursery my child has thrived so much and come on leaps and bounds. All the staff from management all the way down to her key workers are super supportive and work so hard. The setting itself is very stimulating with so many different activities that help meet every child's development according to their age and stage of development. I am so happy I chose Acorns ONS for my little one. She has made so many friends and is always learning new things. I would recommend Acorns ONS to everyone they are all simply amazing.

My daughter has really flourished since starting at Acorns ONS. She has made so many friends and has become very sociable. She will always talk about her day when she comes back from nursery and it's so reassuring. The staff are so friendly and are always happy to help. I would definitely recommend this nursery as it is simply the best.

Our baby girl started May 2022 and it's been an amazing adventure since then, seeing how much she has grown the first time I saw her eating by herself with minimal support I had tears of joy running down. How her confidence has increased among other beautiful things. The staff is super amazing, with great food and a good and safe environment for children to explore and learn. I will highly recommend it.

Acorns ONS provided such a nurturing environment for our daughter and ensured she was well-prepared for starting school. The staff were very supportive and got to know the children in their care. If Acorns ran schools, we'd have applied!

The team at Acorns ONS are fantastic, from day one I just got that warm feeling. My little boy runs in and doesn't look back and is always happy at pick up, having had a great day. The team focus on learning through play, great nutrition and plenty of outdoor play. He started in the baby room and has progressed from there. Regular reports, parents evenings and family focused open days from Grandparents day to and I have seen the graduation event! We did start at another nursery in a totally different area but loved ONS so much whilst waiting for availability we moved him full time to ONS. He's so settled. Highly recommended.

The nursery is bright, spacious and clean. The rooms are really lovely and full of interest for little ones with plenty of toys and different spaces for them to explore. There is also a lovely outside area and the children seemed to have plenty of opportunities to do crafts. The menu is amazing and my son loved the food, the dining area is really well set up with little tables and chairs for the babies and toddlers rather than traditional high chairs. The staff were fantastic, particularly my son's key worker. Everyone was so warm and welcoming and we got really detailed feedback at the end of the day.

Good, could upload more photos of the kids on the app.

My daughter has really enjoyed her time at Acorns ONS Day Nursery. There is a great variety of activities and opportunities for learning. She has learned a lot through these activities and grown her confidence. The management team and key carers are very approachable and accommodating of all the children's needs. The environment is always kept clean and tidy and safe. I would definitely recommend Acorns to family and friends. We will miss all the staff and her classmates now she is leaving for school.

My daughter has been attending since November 2022 and is so happy there. It’s a lovely bright, clean nursery with lovely quality toys. The food also looks delicious. She gets to enjoy a variety of great activities, and all the staff are very friendly and happy- she loves it!

My little boy started in this nursery in March. Prior to starting we had plenty of communication to answer all of my queries and make me feel reassured. All staff (not just his key workers) know my son's name and greet us with a warm hello and smile each day. I have regular feedback of what activities have been done, what he's eaten and how he's slept. We receive photographs via an app showing lovely updates of the fun things they are doing that day. His keyworkers are amazing and have built lovely bonds with my son. He is beaming when I pick him up at the end of the day. I am so pleased we chose this nursery, we have nothing but praise for all the staff.

What can I say? If you want your child to be kind, polite, and friendly; if you want them to enjoy going to nursery; if you want the people looking after your child to care for them almost as much as you do then send them here! Acorns ONS is a quiet peaceful space where children can feel as if they're in their own home and not in a nursery. There are no loud toys and crazy children running around. All the children are playing kindly with each other and having fun learning and exploring. (As well as the odd "dance party" and "circus skills". They go outside often, no matter the weather and have a lovely park close by. The food is nutritious, balanced and of a fantastic quality. They have cooks, gardeners and cleaners who care as much for the space and the children as the carers (also freeing up the time for the carers to actually care for the children). All the staff are friendly and genuinely care for the children and take an interest in their overall well-being and development.

Our daughter has been attending Acorns ONS since May 2022 and we have been really impressed so far! The staff have been so welcoming and friendly, with everyone taking the time to get to know both my daughter and I. They have been very accommodating to my daughter's allergy and we have been pleased with Acorns processes around safeguarding. We feel confident that our daughter is safe, is cared for and is enjoying and thriving in these crucial and important points in her childhood.

Really happy with the nursery and staff, especially the baby room where my daughter is based, my daughter started at 6 months old and settled in amazingly after starting 1 day a week for several weeks and now since January she does 4 days and absolutely loves being in nursery. Management are always there to answer any queries or worries that you may have. Overall an amazing nursery would recommend to everyone.
