Testimonials

You are all so warm, friendly, and approachable – I’ve never come across such a wonderful setting. I am over the moon with Little Acorns. My son comes home raving about his day and what he’s done which is unheard of for him!

 

Little Acorns is the most wonderful, nurturing, and supportive setting. The staff are exceptional, and we couldn’t wish for a better start to our son’s educational journey.

 

Little Acorns is a very friendly Pre-school. The staff are very caring and helpful and will do as much as possible to settle any child and encourage them to be the best they can.

 

We are impressed and thankful for the utmost care and attention given to our son from the experienced Little Acorn’s staff, especially the patience and understanding to help him settle in the first few weeks.

We have complete confidence and peace of mind he will have an amazing day of fun and discovery in a nurturing environment, every day. And he does!

 

We have been consistently impressed with the quality of engagement our daughter receives from the staff at Little Acorns. The Tapestry updates are fantastic, and we enjoy looking at them. The well established link between Little Acorns and Hazeldown primary school will be of great benefit in her transition there later this year.

 

The staff at Little Acorns are absolutely fantastic and clearly love their jobs! They are approachable, kind, friendly, and our daughter totally adores them! She looks forward to going to Pre-school and always has a wonderful time. Not only has she learnt to write, read and a whole host of other topics, she has a fantastic time every day playing inside and out in the garden.

 

We wholeheartedly recommend Little Acorns, and it has been the best place to get our daughter ready for school. We love it so much that our baby is on the waiting list for 2024!

 

We think the Pre-school is excellent, it has a great range of learning and activities with the right balance to support every child’s requirements. The staff are exceptional, give great updates through Tapestry and always have time to ensure any needs are met. We highly recommend Little Acorns and wouldn’t send our children anywhere else.

 
Little Acorn's Pre-school is simply amazing!
The most diligent, caring staff you could hope for.  
Excellent communication in a warm yet professional manner.
They have a wonderful approach to learning through play which enables little ones to thrive.
Best decision we made choosing Little Acorn's, they really do go above and beyond!
 
 
Since my daughter joined Little Acorn's, she has done nothing but thrive!
She is always happy to go to Pre-school and is so happy and excited to tell us about her day.
The teachers are supportive, understanding, patient and enthusiastic. 
Her previous Pre-school didn't encourage her to excel, but Little Acorn's is helping her to reach the clouds!
 
 
I feel so lucky that my little boy has attended Little Acorn's.  The teachers are amazing and provide excellent balance of playtime, structured activities and enrichment through forest school, pe, attending the big school library, music lessons etc. The teachers are all so supportive, friendly, and nurturing.  If my little boy has ever been sad at drop off, they have welcomed him with his favourite colouring, a hug, or have made him laugh!  He always comes home saying how much fun he has had.  I really value that they use Tapestry so I can see photos, videos and read updates about what he has been up to that day.  We can also talk about what he has done at nursery from looking on Tapestry.
 
Little Acorn's provides excellent transition work to prepare the children for 'big school' and helps to settle any nerves and build confidence.
The teachers are outstanding, and I can see constant development in my child's communication, knowledge, and self-esteem.  
 
Thank you so much for being a wonderful Pre-school!
 

We wanted to say once again how thankful we are for all you have done for my child this year.  We appreciate all the amazing opportunities she has been given, which are testament to the care and energy you put into creating exciting activities and learning experiences.  She has loved her time at Pre-school, and it has fostered her love of learning, something we are so proud to see.

She is really looking forward to starting in Foundation and this is, in large part, due to the preparation you have put in.  The time spent with visits and discussions means she is feeling very confident about the transition.  I know she is sad to leave, but she has certainly been put in the best position for her next steps.

We cannot thank you enough for all you have done!

 

Little Acorns has a wonderful team of staff who go above and beyond for my little girl.  She has grown in confidence these past 6 months and achieved so much. She has been very well supported as well as having all her needs met daily. She has so much fun at Pre-school, and the Tapestry updates have been wonderful.Thank you for all you do!

 

We couldn’t be happier with Little Acorns Pre-school and the staff.  The Pre-school is bright and welcoming with lots of outdoor space.  The staff are friendly and really helped our daughter settle in and feel at ease.  There is great communication at drop-offs and pick-ups each day.  The Tapestry app is a brilliant way to keep updated with what is happening during the week.  We also really enjoy the ‘stay and play’ sessions each term, which is a great way to see how our daughter is getting on, and a good opportunity to speak to staff about her progress.

 

To all the big Acorns!

You are all incredible!  My little girl loves Pre-school school so much and is so happy to come in every morning due to the wonderful environment you all work so hard to create.  You are all so lovely, warm and positive.  Thank you for helping to shape the minds of our special little people.
