At the Acorns, children are supported in all aspects of their development: social, emotional, physical and academic. We aim to create a supportive and stimulating environment, which fosters a strong sense of curiosity and self-worth.
About us
Made up of two settings, the Acorns Nursery and Forest School provides children aged 2-8 years with the springboard to a bright future. Both settings in Westmeston and Lindfield are open five days a week, offering 'stay-and-play' sessions, and additional childminding before and after the main nursery day. Our idyllic Westmeston forest school setting also provides older children with the chance to enjoy forest-school days, and makes the perfect location for our ever-popular 'holiday fun' scheme over the summer.
