Acorn Childcare Nursery
We pride ourselves on our outstanding outdoor area with an orchard, climbing frame, outdoor classroom and large garden and encourage outdoor play every day in all weathers. Every room has a door to the garden allowing us to offer free flow play so children can play either indoors or outdoors according to their choice.

We encourage learning through play with an emphasis on the benefits of outdoor play, and all of our settings have a safe outdoor play area for children to explore all year round. We provide healthy, homemade meals prepared by our cook with fresh ingredients, sometimes from our garden! We offer children a well-balanced, nutritious menu to enjoy at nursery.

My daughter was here from 10mth old until leaving for Reception. They have an amazing outdoor area and everyday was fun and special. They have great focus on preparing them for school.

My grandson has loved going to this nursery from day one. He settled really well and loved the staff. The parent zone app is fantastic and gives you an insight into what your child has been doing each day, along with that being able to see photos and observations of the progress your child is making. The menu that is provided is also varied and my… grandson certainly ate well. He also loved playing in the outside area especially the slide. All in all I would highly recommend this nursery from our own experience working with them. Well done to all the staff who were always very welcoming

We tried a number of nurseries in the local area, and all had shortcomings. Most were very cramped and had minimal outdoor space (our son is very outdoorsy).
Acorn were completely different. It is much more spacious and the nursery staff are much more friendly and genuinely enjoy what they do.
