At Baby Acorns we understand how hard it is to leave your little one, possibly for the first time since they were born and our warm caring team ensure that we make the transition from home to nursery as smooth and calm as possible for you both.

This bright, spacious nursery with its sunny garden offers a wealth of new colours, shapes and activities for your baby to explore. All our equipment is of the finest quality, chosen for its play and learning potential and is age appropriate to ensure that babies and toddlers are learning through play.

Clare and Karen are both experienced members of our management team and are on hand to reassure you each day. They have a wealth of childcare knowledge and experience that they will be happy to share with you if required.

What The Parents Say

"Thank you to Acorns for such a lovely afternoon today, Annabelle and I thoroughly enjoyed! It was so nice to spend time with her at nursery and also to go through her file and talk to staff. All of your staff made us feel most welcome, and the cook did a fabulous job with the delicious afternoon tea! Please pass on our thanks - your efforts are greatly appreciated."
"Home from home environment, my son settled in really well. We were really pleased they offered settling before he started. Staff were friendly. The security was very good."
"Both my sons have attended this nursery. Staff are friendly, caring and although there is a big gap between our boys most staff are still there so the continuity to us as a family is really reassuring. The nursery is clean and spacious and very homely. The garden is beautiful and they encourage the children to grow fruits and vegetables.
"We viewed many nurseries, although this one a little more expensive I have no hesitation recommending. The nursery cook is really helpful as our son has a number of allergies. Menus are healthy and nutritious and our son seems to eat better in nursery ! ".

Food

At Acorns we know the importance of healthy minds and healthy bodies and how vital it is for children to eat the right foods for growth and development. We also know that if children eat well in their early years they go on to make healthy choices throughout their lives.

We believe in providing home cooked, delicious meals every day and encourage the children to take a healthy interest in food. Each nursery has a vegetable planter where the children sow seeds for peppers, courgettes, beans, potatoes, strawberries and more, these are then harvested and used by our Cooks in nursery meals.

Our Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer menus and are always packed with new ideas and seasonal fruit and vegetables. The children enjoy breakfast, a 2 course lunch, high tea and a 5 o’clock snack. All of our nurseries hold Gold Healthy Eating Snack Awards. For babies and little ones we provide a puree and mash menu to ensure your child is enjoying foods for the correct stage of their development, older children are encouraged to self serve at the table to allow independence.

Our Nursery Nurses sit with the children at each meal to encourage and assist them at mealtimes, this promotes good table manners and social skills.

Cooking activities are a popular part of nursery life, and the children love to take part in food tasting sessions. We celebrate different cultures and festival at Acorns and enjoy learning about and discovering foods from all over the world.

Acorns Nurseries are now providers of the Childcare Offer in Wales for eligible working parents of 3-4 year olds. Parents can apply by contacting the local Family Information Service.
