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.

My little one has now been here 6 months and she adores it. The staff clearly care for her beyond just a job and are always happy to support and help when needed. They have an abundance of activities and regularly impress me with what they’ve been doing and the new skills that have been taught. There is a huge push on environmentally friendly activities, woodland interaction and observing wildlife all of which work well with our family ethos and what our little one loves.

I always find the staff really friendly and welcoming. They always greet my grandchild with a smile and a happy ‘hello’. His key person always makes a special effort to meet him at the door even if she is doing something else when he arrives. The staff are also very approachable & I have no concerns about talking to them about his behaviours and needs. The nursery is always clean & tidy. Communication is great and regular updates via the app are especially useful. My grandchild has definitely developed since attending the nursery and this is thanks to the attentive staff and the wonderful activities that he gets to do! He is an outdoor child so the outside space is fantastic & ‘visiting’ the chickens helped him settle in at the beginning. Lovely nursery, fantastic staff & a great range of things to do! I really can’t fault it!

Excellent nursery with amazing staff and facilities! We are always kept informed of little one’s day which is great. Our son’s development has been amazing to see from all he has been learning at nursery. Highly recommend Acorn Stony Stratford Nursery to all.

Amazing nursery! My little boy absolutely loves it here, all the girls are amazing with him as he has a speech delay but they all take the time and care to make sure all his needs are attended to! Always putting on fun activities for the kids and making sure they have the best time! Would highly recommend it!

We absolutely love Acorns Nursery, my daughter is so excited to get in that she walks in without even looking back at me! They do lots of different activities with them weekly and send you pictures so you can see what they get up to. Recently they have been bird watching in their forest garden, gone for walks to spot different birds and even had the option to make bird feeders - ours is looking very nice in the garden.

Our daughter has been at Acorn’s Stony Stratford for 6 months. She has developed and grown into a happy and cheeky little girl. The staff supports and nurtures her with a variety of resources from imaginative play, forest school, yoga and much more which makes every day different and she is always keen to tell us what she’s done. The communication between the nursery and parents is outstanding, we couldn’t ask for more. It’s clear why they have such a long waiting list it’s a brilliant setting with a passionate team who really care about the children and would highly recommend it!

Our baby has settled well into the Acorn room. The staff made us feel reassured throughout the settling period by sending messages, updates and photos over the app. She has made good relationships with the staff and we are confident she is safe and well cared for. The nursery offers a healthy and varied menu which meets our daughter’s dietary needs. They understand her allergies well, and even baked vegan cakes for her to take home on her first birthday. We have also had another child previously attend the nursery and he has enjoyed the forest school sessions, visits out in the local area and, the wonderful tree house in the woodland garden.

Both my daughters attend Acorn. I have nothing but praise for the staff. They welcome my girls with huge smiles and enthusiasm and take the time to have a chat with me. The staff genuinely care about the children and provide brilliant activities for the children. Food choices are healthy and varied. As a mum, I leave them knowing they are safe and content.

Fantastic nursery in a lovely setting. The team were great with our little one and we always had a happy little boy at pick up each day. Always varied food offered and they were really good when we suspected a food allergy but it hadn’t been tested yet while we were on the waitlist.

My boys are extremely happy here at Acorn Day Nursery. My eldest child also went here and he really enjoys helping me with drop off and pick up to see all the staff who always try and make time to chat to him. Which in my opinion just shows how amazing the staff are. My twins have settled in so well and the staff always keep us informed of their progress. The staff are always happy, enthusiastic about the activities to help the children learn and I’m confident that when I drop them off they are going to have such a great time.

Our daughter is very happy at Acorn. Great communication with the team there. I feel she is very well cared for, and the team seem genuinely pleased to see her and care for her development and well-being.

Acorn at Stony Stratford is the most wonderful place for our daughter! One big happy family of children, families and staff! We waited a long time to get our daughter a place there but could not be happier with the quality of the care and provision they offer. Our daughter, who we thought may struggle settling in having never been to any other setting, took to the staff and setting immediately, thanks to the individual time and support that was provided to help her settle in. Often when I arrive now she says to come back later as she would like to stay longer! The attention and care of staff, the focus on outdoor learning, Wellbeing Wednesdays, scrummy home-cooked meals, the beautiful set up of play opportunities and the fun and wonder that all the staff embody all make Acorn a unique setting and we couldn't be more delighted with it for our daughter.
03 November 2022
We absolutely love the nursery. Our daughter is so happy here she literally cheers when we drive up. The staff are really caring and knowledgeable about our daughter and caring for small children in general. The setting seems very child-led and offers lots of opportunities for age-appropriate independence. I really recommend the nursery.

Stony Stratford Acorn is simply the best nursery. I couldn't wish for any better for my children. My little girl has been attending for a year now, and she absolutely loves going, as we approach the nursery she is trying to get out of her buggy, and when we arrive she runs in, is always so warmly greeted by any staff, not just those of her room, and happily waves goodbye to me without a second thought. My son started 6 weeks ago, at just 10 months, the height of potential separation anxiety, and yet he has never been upset when I leave. His settling-in sessions were managed so well that he also is happy to be there and smiles when the staff take him from me. My daughter is now transitioning to the next room, and that has also been so well organised and considered that she is flourishing and ready for that move. The facilities, activities, food and communication are fantastic. But above all, the caring, attentive and knowledgable staff are what make it!

Stony Stratford Acorn is a wonderful setting. We have two boys there, 3 years and 1 year. Both are really happy at Acorn and enjoy a wide range of experiences from trips to town, yoga, forest school and much more. The nursery also has chickens which are a big hit and a lovely addition. The staff are amazing, communication really good and we are so happy to have our children there.

Acorn have been amazing with my youngest, who started there this year. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and always have lovely and helpful feedback from the day so we know how he's been. I feel so confident taking him and leaving him for the day as I know he is getting great care. He's been out for lots of walks and trips to the park with them, and we love knowing he is getting lots of different types of experiences when he's there. I recommend this nursery to all my local friends, it's such a lovely place.
