View Full Details of Acorn Day Nursery (Stony Stratford)We all love Acorn @ Stony Stratford! My eldest was in and now my 2 year old has had a place since she was 9 months old! Both my kids love the nursery and all the staff! As a parent we get great communication from the staff and lots of lovely updates and pictures! I couldn't recommend it enough!
My daughter has attended the nursery for two years now and has loved it from the start. The activities are vast and her days are always different. The staff are so welcoming and lovely. Friendships have blossomed, my daughter's confidence has grown and she's thriving. I couldn't recommend Acorn more. The communication both via the App and at pickup, can't be faulted.
Excellent nursery dedication to natural learning. Great outdoor facility with amazing practitioners. I have two children using the nursery and they both love to stay for the day. Never feel worried to leave my children for the day.
My sons been coming to Acorn Nursery since September 24, I cannot recommend it enough. The staff are so lovely, caring. The communication through the nursery is really good, I never have to worry. My son absolutely loves going to nursery , he learns so much and always has so much fun!
My child has attended this nursery for a couple of days a week for about a year now - I have found the environment to be great - plenty for the children to do on both the baby room and the bigger room, lots of space for them to do their own thing but also the opportunities to get involved in activities together. The staff have always been great, I get a lot of feedback from various staff members when so see them and they're always enthusiastic about what they do. The in-app reports for the group and the individual are wonderful to have. Food-wise the menu is excellent - a decent variety of meals cooked in-house (the vast majority seem to be received very well by our child) and they sometimes get the opportunity to make their own dishes (I.e banana muffins recently) that are then cooked by the staff. If the rest of the Acorn group nurseries are anything like the one in Stony Stratford then I have no doubt they will be a wonderful place for your child to spend time. Thanks to all!
All of the staff at Acorn Stony Stratford go above and beyond to care for our children. My child has been so happy since starting here and the love and care they have for each and every person in the nursery is plain to see. Could not recommend them enough!
Great nursery with fantastic staff. Our child is always full of excitement when we mention going to nursery or his key workers name. Daily activities and food offered is great. Generally don't have a bad thing to say.
The staff are so friendly & trustworthy, The level of care my children receive is phenomenal. One of my eldest is autistic and he gets so much care and support from everyone within the nursery. The level of patience they give him is amazing. The staff do everything they can to make sure he is happy and comfortable every single day and I couldn't ask for anything more. They are great. Since starting at Acorn my children have come on leaps and bounds. The handovers on pick up are brilliant, they let you know what your child has been up to in the day, new skills they have achieved and new connections they have made. My children absolutely love it at Acorn and they are thriving.
Acorn Nursery at Stony Stratford has been absolutely brilliant from every aspect in my experience. The site has excellent facilities and all of the staff are very caring and committed. I would highly recommended Acorn to anyone!
My son has been attending Acorn Day Nursery since Sept 2024. From the very first day the staff have been warm, friendly and welcoming. They have hugely supported my son in his speech and socialisation. I absolutely love that they will be outside most of the time, take little trips in the local area and are encouraged to use their imagination. I love the little updates of photos and information that gets posted to the app. It is always great to see my son is well cared for and clearly very happy at nursery.
A fantastic nursery with attentive staff who genuinely care about my child's needs, personality, and development. Management and staff are responsive to any concerns or issues. I've found that they effectively manage illnesses across all age groups and keep us informed, without being too risk adverse as long as it doesn't compromise safety. The focus on outdoor play and quality food were key factors in our choice of nursery, and the secure facilities are great for this. While I'd love more frequent updates on my child's weekly activities, the occasional observation notes are appreciated and sent by the Acorn's team. Overall, we're very happy with our choice - it's a warm, supportive environment where our child thrives and develops independence in play/ a love for outdoors and seems to prefer nursery food to mine (I try not to take offence!!)
Excellent experience at Acorn Nursery Stony Stratford. Staff are all amazing and it is so incredible to see how my son is growing in confidence at Acorn nursery. His development has truly been amazing to watch.
Lovely place to raise children. Lovely well-spoken staff, good food and great activities. Love the chicken and outdoor. My son is always happy to come to Acorn. He learns so many things and the staff really try to accommodate with his double nationality.
My Child has been at the Nursery for the past 3 months and the experience my child and I have had has been exceptional. The lengths the staff go to, to ensure as smooth and easy transition for both child and parent is commendable. The staff are warm, approachable and trustworthy. They provide insights at pick up as to what my child has gotten up to during the day, new connections they've made and any good/ challenging behaviours to be aware of. On most days, I drop my child off and they run straight to their favourite staff member, friend or the breakfast table. (Not a backward glance to say good bye to Mum!) And on days when my child is needing extra support, the staff welcome them with open arms and message me as soon as they are settled and playing. This thoughtful act really puts your mind at ease.
We adore Acorns! The staff are amazing, friendly and supportive to the children. They take a genuine interest in their current interests and help them explore further by creating fun activities. They even send home 'learning bags' with ingredients and instructions for making playdough or banana bread. our daughter has a blast here and has made some lovely friends, both with the children and practitioners. She happily shares her day with us and even tells us everyone's roles- like when we had a spider in the house and she promptly informed me to give one of the ladies a call because she knows what to do!
Absolutely fantastic nursery. Have sent both boys to Acorn and am always so impressed with the genuinely caring staff, the amazing facilities and the creativity of the activities they provide. Well done Acorn!
Since my daughter started at the nursery, we were made to feel really welcomed. The environments in her room look engaging and fun and she happily seems to explore everyday! Her development thrives and the nursery really does support in that. It feels very homely and cosy and you can tell the staff know the children in and out. My daughter has certainly made some close bonds.
We love Acorns - my son is incredibly happy in the nursery setting. His development has come on leaps and bounds and his wellbeing is of the utmost importance to the nursery staff. His key worker is amazing (shout out to her) and the girls in the baby room are all fantastic. He always has a smile on his face going in and coming home and that’s what you want as a parent. I love the activities they do with the children, especially the excursions and how inclusive and welcoming the ethos is with the parents' days. It’s a real community feel.
My daughter has been attending Acorn Day Nursery in Stony Stratford since October 2023, having just moved to the UK from Germany. The team has been absolutely phenomenal at making her feel welcome and at ease. The fact that the children can move around and choose freely in which space they want to spend their time, and which activities they want to engage in, suits our daughter very well. Staff is extremely helpful and attentive. Acorn uses an app to record daily engagement and activities and to share updates which is a great way for us parents and caters to feel involved.
Stony Acorns is a lovely nursery with lots of outside space and I don't know how they do it but it's always so clean and tidy even with children playing. They have lovely toys and books along with chickens. They provide great days out and events involving parents/carers.
