Our son absolutely loves his time at this nursery - he is always so happy to arrive and goes straight to his seat for breakfast! From the picture updates we receive and handover feedback, our son has lots of variety throughout the day from playing in the garden to reading books, messy play, soft play etc. The nursery has been great with him and even purchased some props which suit his interests specifically - a broom because he seems to like cleaning! There's lots of variety with food and I love getting all the updates about what he has been eating throughout the day - he loves his food there. The staff are all very friendly and caring.

The staff are all lovely and love the kids. The kids enjoy going as well. Great communication both on pickup and on the app. When the kids are unwell they do their best to keep them in. The outside space they have is fantastic.

Incredible staff, an extended part of our family. Our little one learns so much with the team and has made brilliant friends. Nothing is too much for the staff, always really well cared for. Thank you.

Our son has been at Acorns coming up for 2 years now and even from the first emails we had to arrange visits whilst in the middle of a stressful house move we knew this was the setting for him. Every single staff member genuinely cares about the children and their development. We saw our son's verbal communication come on leaps and bounds within a matter of weeks of starting and his confidence and independence grow. The team's values and approach to child development align so much with ours and it really does feel like he is with family when he's there. They have also helped us navigate trickier parts of raising a toddler so that we can best support him as he learns his way through the world. I can't thank the team enough for everything and I recommend Acorn Emberton in a heartbeat to anyone needing childcare.

My daughter has been attending Acorn Nursery for just over a year now and she absolutely loves it there, she has learnt so much from being there and surprises us everyday by what she has learnt! The team are very nurturing and caring, and always welcomes us with a friendly approach. Always putting the children and their needs first! Everything that my child does is logged and tracked using an app which they also log her learning journey and photos on which we can see at the end of the day, it’s lovely to see what she’s been up to and enjoyed whilst at nursery.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for over a year and I cannot recommend it enough! Before starting at this nursery my daughter didn't eat any fruit or vegetables, now she eats most vegetables and some fruits, her favourite at the moment being watermelon, which is what they had for a snack at nursery today! Everyday she wakes up asking if she is going to nursery, even on the weekends, which just goes to show how incredible they are! When my daughter arrives at nursery all the staff make an effort to say good morning to her before she goes to find her favourite grown-up for a cuddle. This nursery thrives on being outdoors in all weather, which is what I love. They have a big open field for the children to explore and when I pick her up and she is really muddy or has a wet bag full of clothes, that is when I know she had had a really good day! The staff are all welcoming and always tell me about her day when I pick her up at home time. Keep up the great job guys!

Amazing staff, very caring, friendly and communicative. I am so happy my daughter settled very good! They are always there to listen if we have any concerns and explain how much progress your daughter is making. Also, their app is very good, allows the parents to see what their child ate or to see some pictures of what they were playing that day.

Beautiful setting, very good staff, my daughter enjoyed her time here and always came out smiling. Forest School is another great addition. Lots of play activities and dancing, messy play etc, great outdoor space and a huge field.

This is an outstanding nursery. We are so happy we decided to send our son here. The nursery itself is in a beautiful location. The setting has a real emphasis on natural resources as well as outdoor play with its forest school. The staff are nurturing, kind and highly experienced. It is very obvious they enjoy being with the children and their careers in childcare. The manager is highly engaged within rooms and the children - I really feel this has a positive influence in the nursery. We receive regular photos, videos and updates on our son’s development. They also track his day on the app (when his nappy changes are, what he eats etc). He adores his key worker and the other staff. He eats so well at nursery, and the food smells delicious. We thoroughly recommend this nursery!

The Emberton Nursery was brilliant. The staff were all very caring but also imaginative and creative and helped shape activities to our son’s interests. The team encouraged the children to be outside as much as possible, which also really suited our son - and helped burn off lots of energy! I highly recommend it!

My daughter has been attending the nursery for almost a year now. She absolutely loves being outdoors, and the Emberton Nursery has the most wonderful outside spaces. Im also a fan of the level of independence my daughter is given; it gives me hope she will be more than capable when it comes to school. They always seem to be doing lots of fun and different activities, e.g. police officer visits and going on walks outside of the nursery, to name the most recent. The staff are amazing, and my daughter loves going in each day. Highly recommend!

Our daughter has attended Acorn Day Nursery and Outdoor Learning Centre (Emberton) since April and we have been very impressed with the nursery. The settling-in process was well organised and worked well. The staff are all very caring towards our child and she seems to have a lovely time whilst there. They serve nutritious meals and snacks which is important to us. The children spend a lot of time outside playing getting fresh air and have lots of activities and toys to choose from. We would not hesitate to recommend Acorn Day Nursery to any parent looking for a nursery setting for their little one.

From the first moment we visited the nursery back in November last year we were made to feel so welcome and part of the family. The settling-in sessions were fantastic and my son felt so at home straight away. Now six months later he still loves going in, he has built strong bonds with all the staff who make him feel happy and safe and cared for everyday. The staff go above and beyond to make fun and varied activities every day and I know my son has a great time whilst learning through play. He’s also a big fan of the food which is healthy and nourishing. I particularly love the emphasis on the outdoors and nature, all the natural materials and bringing nature inside, I think it’s so important for children to appreciate and understand the natural world around them. I couldn’t be happier with the nursery and the staff and leaving my little one for the day I know he’s going to have a lovely time.

As a new nursery, Emberton continues to go from strength to strength delivering outstanding childcare for my little boy. From day one we have always felt like part of a family at Emberton, with easy drop-offs and friendly collections. The team are fantastic in their approach to child care, and the fun never stops for the children. Due to the size of the nursery, everything feels like a personal experience for your child rather than a number or name in a larger setting. Plus the countryside setting and focus on nature is also such a great part of the Acorn ethos, teaching an appreciation for the outdoors from an early age. I can't recommend Acorn Emberton enough!

What an amazing nursery Acorn Day Nursery Emberton is! Before my son started at Emberton, he was at home with me. We came for a visit to the nursery, and he felt so comfortable straight away! All the staff were welcoming, calming and positive. They made us feel excited and relaxed about my son starting nursery. When my son started at the nursery and was settling in, the staff went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable and settled. He loves going to nursery and will regularly ask to go to nursery on our days off! My 2-year-old son's development has progressed so much since starting at Acorn Day Nursery Emberton. He is trying to talk in small sentences and is counting and identifying colours. Having a child born during the Covid lockdown, he has developed great social development skills. The staff are informative and supportive, making sure they keep us updated regularly and will adapt to the needs of my son without any hesitation.
