Absolutely fantastic nursery! My little one has been going since February 2025 when he was 17 months old. As a nervous first time parent the staff couldn’t have done anymore to put us at ease. As a parent to a child with complex medical and educational needs, childcare was a concern for us. All the s…

Both of my children have attended this nursery since they were 12 months old and we’ve had a really positive experience. One of the things we like most is that it’s relatively small, with a “family feel”, so all of the staff get to know the children well. This has made moving between rooms much easie…

Our son has been attending Little Acorns in Atherton since he was 7 months old. I had been worried about leaving him but had to return to work. We visited a number of nurseries as it is such a big deal entrusting your child into the care of someone else but this one just felt right. The staff a…
