My son has been at Acorns nearly a year now and he loves it there, all the staff are lovely and very attentive to his needs. They encourage messy play and outdoor play in their lovely outdoor space. Always receive a detailed review of his day on pick up which is comforting along with being able to monitor his activity throughout the day via the Famly App. Overall from our experience it is a lovely Nursery.

My daughter started here in the Acorn room in November last year when she had just turned one and she absolutely loves it! Her face lights up of a morning when she realises where we are. Her speech has come on greatly since starting here. You are kept up to date throughout the day via their app which is great when you're at work missing your little one. The staff are all lovely & very accommodating. Cold Harbour is exactly what you would want from a nursery setting.

After moving our son to Acorn just before Christmas, it's amazing how quickly he settled and adapted to another new setting. The staff at Cold Harbour are amazing, they always communicate any small detail and take the time to know all of the children in their care, their routines and what works for them. The children always have plenty of activities in provision set out for them for the day and our son seems to gain so much from being there! We've noticed how much he has progressed already in such a short time. Thank you to all the lovely Cold Harbour Acorn team!

Acorn at Cold Harbour has such lovely staff that are always accommodating and try their best to meet our child's needs. Our child enjoys the activities that are on offer at the nursery and loves the outdoor play.

When my son moved up from the baby room to the next room he took a while to settle (as initially the the older children from the next room up were mixed with his new room which was a little overwhelming for him). However, my child's key worker made an extra effort to send more updates to reassure me. She was very friendly and built a very good relationship with my son. The team takes the children out on shop visits, to the park and they go to the forest school which is brilliant. The admin staff also do a great job and are very helpful. My only criticism would be about the food. Their prospectus gives an example menu showing a varied snack & lunch offering (that they offer toast or crumpets as a snack) but most of the time it was a rice cracker with dairy-free spread and occasionally fruit. I think the food offering could be improved. The building inside is looking a little tired.

Our son has been at the nursery for 3 years and we cannot speak highly enough of the care and support we have received as a family. Our son has autism and the nursery has been so supportive in ensuring he is included in activities and has ensured he has been able to thrive and develop during his time at nursery. The staff are all fantastic, in particular our son's key worker who feels like part of our own family! The children are encouraged to explore the vast outside space, which is a fantastic space for the children to play, learn and develop. The staff create imaginative play settings for the children to enjoy and have a vast array of resources available to them. I'd recommend Acorns at Cold Harbour to anyone!

Me and the father feel that nursery has really been a beacon for our daughter. From the day she started to finishing now... she's come on leaps and bounds and we couldn't be more thankful for all the staff members for everything they do. She's had the best time here and will definitely miss everyone. Thank you all!

The nursery has been so welcoming and attentive since day 1. They keep us updated throughout the day on his eating, sleeping and activities, which is lovely to see! All the staff at the nursery know him and us, which gives it such a personal feel - he really feels valued. We love watching him learn and explore there and would recommend them to anyone.

My child is 2 years old and loves the nursery. Since joining Cold Harbour her confidence has grown so much thanks to the staff and the environment that they provide. My daughter is very sensitive and was difficult to settle at first but the staff persevered and provided her with lots of care and affection which helped her to settle and now she waves goodbye as she happily runs in each morning.

Excellent nursery setting with excellent outdoor play areas. Lovely staff within the Acorn team, who really enjoy being with all the children as well as being excellent at caring for all their needs away from home. The app is great for keeping in touch. Would highly recommend.

My son has attended this nursery for seven months now and has thrived, being premature it was always a worry that he was going to be behind on his development but with the help of the nursery, he has come such a long way! The staff are fantastic and very welcoming in the baby room and his key person goes above and beyond to meet his needs, she is amazing with him. He loves everyone there and goes in so happy, it's lovely to see. The nursery has an app in which you can see everything they have done, from nappy changes to how much they have eaten and tells you when they are asleep, so it’s nice to be able to see how he's getting on. They upload photos regularly to show all the activities they have been doing during the day and any outings they have been on. The food provided is great, always giving them a hot, healthy meal at lunchtime. A great outdoor space available to them at any time. I would highly recommend Acorn Day Nursery (Cold Harbour), it is lovely to see how much they really do care about our children.

My daughter loves nursery. Whenever we drop her off in the morning she always runs in because she is so excited to be there and I think it's down to the staff. They are all so friendly, helpful and welcoming and always find brilliant new ways for the kids to discover and interact with new things.
19 March 2024
My daughter has been attending the nursery since April 2023 and has learnt so much. She used to be very timid and shy, but is now very confident and bubbly. The staff are all amazing. I'm so glad I chose this nursery. The nursery takes care of all her dietary requirements and she's actually learnt how to use cutlery by herself now from nursery. She's become very independent since attending the nursery.

Brilliant nursery, our baby is thriving there and you can see how happy he is when he comes home. They are very good with activities, feeding and work with us to develop a nap routine. For the 4 days a week he is there we can see how well he is developing. The app is a great way of being updated throughout the day and everything is logged on there from naps, nappy changes and feeding. Our daughter went there for 3 years and now our son has been there for a month and will see out his nursery days there too.

So pleased with this nursery. I feel that a very clear sign is that my daughter thoroughly enjoys nursery goes in very happy and comes out at the end of the day tired and dirty from all the activities and fun that have been had. You can tell she has a very strong relationship with her key worker and I feel very safe leaving her in her care. Having worked in a number of nurseries personally over the years, I can tell that this nursery provides exceptional care to children.

We were anxious as any parent is about our boy starting nursery, however were even more anxious as he requires the use of hearing aids, someone to ensure the care and maintenance of these, that they are worn at all times and were worried about the noise levels and how he would cope with this. The staff however were fantastic, sending us photos within 20 minutes of us dropping him off happy as Larry! Drop-off was a struggle for a good 3 months as he only attended one day a week at that time but again staff were so patient with him, handover was always so comprehensive and they always put our minds at ease. Having use of the app enabled us to check in on our son throughout the day which was really comforting when we could see how well he was eating, a sure sign he was happy! 5 months on and our son is now attending 2 days a week, loves all the activities on offer which are so imaginative and his speech is really coming on. We couldn’t be happier having chosen Acorns!

I must say, this nursery is outstanding. It's so wonderful that I have decided to bring my son here after my daughter attended four years ago. My daughter gained a lot of confidence, built great friendships, and loved her key worker and the chef. I'm happy to see that the same high standard is being maintained, and I would definitely recommend this nursery. In fact, I would even travel to bring my children here if I moved away.

The team at Acorn Day Nursery (Cold Harbour) made the transition to the nursery easy, they treated our son as an individual and were happy to accommodate his own routine and needs. The team is extremely caring and has even checked in with us on days he is not in. Even when drop-off is tricky, we feel reassured knowing our son is in a safe and caring environment. The app is used regularly, with frequent communications and photos. The nursery is set up every day with fun, relevant and appropriate activities. The staff are always happy and smiling.
