"Acorns in Lindfield is a really wonderful nursery. It has excellent staff who are incredibly caring and really happy children. The nursery has a great ethos and prepares children really well for school, both in terms of learning but, at least as importantly, in terms of confidence and peer relationships. Acorns is a very special place."

​

"My daughter currently attends Acorns and loves it! We couldn't be happier with the care and nurturing she receives by the team, she talks all the time about her teachers and what she does at Nursery. My son also attended Acorns and he blossomed with confidence which was lovely, as he is a naturally shy child. He went to big school fully prepared and the nursery certainly did an outstanding job."

​

"When we moved to this area and looked around the Acorns at Lindfield we couldn't believe our luck. It is very rare to find a passionate woman with a MBA in education running a nursery from her home with an equally passionate and caring team. My daughter loves arriving at this home from home to see the staff and her friends. She always enjoys the varied wholesome activities, often using nature as a resource and the attention she receives. The menu is varied and I am told delicious! My daughter has a milk allergy and they always make sure they have an alternative meal, snacks and treats for her. I can't recommend it enough."

​

"Our son absolutely loves being at Acorns - it's a great nursery with wonderful staff and surroundings. He bounds in every morning and loves telling us about his days when he gets home. There nursery has a great atmosphere and all the other children seem equally happy. There is also plenty of opportunity to be outside which is a great plus."

​

"At the end of this academic year, our youngest child will leave The Acorns. It will be a bittersweet day: Sad because 4 years as part of the Acorns family will draw to a close but happy because our youngest child will go out into the world a strong, confident, happy child ready for her "big school" adventure. So much of her confidence and courage is down to her wonderful experience at The Acorns. The staff are kind, attentive, fun but above all just really get my children and our children realise this key fact which makes them very happy and secure. Both settings have done wonders for our children. Lindfield is cosy, creative, familiar and homely; Westmeston is exciting, free and a natural, beautiful setting perfect for adventures - they come back with mud on their wellies, colour on their cheeks and stories to share. I know I'm sentimental but our children have been so happy at the Acorns and we shall miss it very much."

​

"My son has attended the Acorns since September. He has settled well and made friends. The staff are caring, experienced, and stimulating. They really do seem to go over & above. He is making pleasing progress but most importantly, he is happy. We couldn't be more pleased."

​

"The staff are excellent, compassionate, caring and very creative in their activities and engagement. Every week is different. Two lovely settings. Our daughter is happy and challenged here. A great environment."

​

"We adore The Acorns and so does our daughter. She has settled so well there and all the staff are extremely caring and kind to the children. The activities are well thought out and encourage learning through fun. I couldn't think of a better environment for small people to enter when leaving their mummies and daddies for the first time."

​

"The Acorns in Lindfield is a friendly, nurturing environment where parents are encouraged to work in partnership with the staff to help develop their child. The planning of session content is excellent, and one term in, my daughter is looking forward to her nursery days and settling well."

​

"My eldest daughter attended Acorns when we moved down from London. The transition to the nursery was seamless and she loved it the minute she arrived. My youngest currently attends and skips in every morning. Acorns is a magical and comforting place. The carers are all amazing and I feel totally at ease when my daughter is in their care. I would recommend Acorns to anyone."

​

"The Acorns is a wonderful nursery where the children are encouraged to learn through play, make new friends and learn new skills. My son loves all the amazing staff and children. He has grown in confidence, learnt so many new things and especially loves the reading scheme. The Acorns is a warm and welcoming nursery; a place where all the children are encouraged to grow as individuals, embrace creativity and imagination and are prepared for the start of school life."

​

"My son has settled into The Acorns Nursery School, Lindfield incredibly well and this is with thanks to the staff. The Acorns ladies are amazing, they genuinely care for the children and work extremely hard to ensure they have a fun learning experience every day. At the end of the day at nursery, he is always so excited to tell me about what he has done. The daily activities are varied and exciting, some things are just not available at other nurseries e.g pottery and 'Special visitors'. I love the nursery's 'home setting' as the children feel secure and nurtured. The yummy food is freshly prepared in the kitchen every day and it's great that the children can see this happening. The garden is well set out and the children are encouraged to play outside whatever the weather which is great!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Acorns to friends!"

Westmeston Reviews 

​

" The endless interest and enthusiasm of the staff at Westmeston really do set a standard that others would struggle to meet. Just take a visit and see for yourself."

​

"Both our children have attended The Acorns and this has helped them develop, build confidence and prepare themselves for school, so they have a great start in life.

​

"My two year old daughters speech has come on in leaps and bounds since joining The Acorns. Her physical and fine motor skills have also hugely improved as she's always busy, active and playing.

She loves the friends shes made at Forest School and the teachers too.

The teachers go above and beyond to provide a nurturing environment for children to thrive. I would highly recommend it to any parent."

​

​

"My son started nursery at Westmeston in September. It has been great watching him cheer with excitement when we told him he was going to Acorns. He is one of the younger ones however he is included and encouraged to join in with everything. The staff are very friendly and enthusiastic which shows with their great rapport with my son. He has grown and is blossoming under their care which as his Mum I could not wish for more."

​

"This has to be the best nursery I have come across - the staff are just so fantastic and the quality of care, attention and learning they give to the children is second to none. My little boy has had the best time at The Acorns Nursery School, Westmeston which is an ideal setting with great outdoor and indoor space and beautiful surroundings. The atmosphere is so positive and so well disciplined at the same time. My little boy actually comes home proud of learning to fold aprons, as well as encouraging the teachers to do boy dancing and play Star Wars games! He has a brilliant time there with show and tells, imaginative play and science lessons, so the fun is mixed in with great learning at the same time. I would absolutely recommend The Acorns Nursery School, Westmeston to anyone looking for a nursery that brings happiness, fun and friendship to their child's day."

​

"The Acorns at Westmeston is a really special nursery. The kids absolutely love the space, nature and the fresh air. The staff are better than you'll find anywhere else. Our daughter always comes back buzzing (and often muddy!) from all the running around outdoors. It's brilliant."

​

"My son has attended The Acorns since January 2015 and he loves it! The staff are exceptional. They genuinely care and take each child as an individual. Educationally my son thrives in the stimulating environment they provide (both inside and out)."

​

"The Acorns Nursery and Forest School was recommended to me by several friends, and now that I am sending my two boys there, I can see why. The staff are very caring and it's evident that they are well "tuned in" to the needs of each child. Communication with parents is excellent, and staff are always available for a chat. My two boys love that they get to spend so much time outdoors - riding scooters, going on woodland walks, etc. The setting couldn't be more idyllic. Overall, we've been so pleased with The Acorns and would highly recommend it."

​

"Through just two seasons, our little acorn has blossomed from being an observant, inquisitive and playful toddler, tentative in his verbal and physical expression, to becoming a chatty, inclusive, enthusiastic little boy with a keen eloquence, expansive vocabulary and confident enjoyment of his burgeoning physical prowess. The Acorns is a holistic environment, child-led and nurturing in its encouragement of independence and togetherness at the same time, celebrating nature and our part of it, and each other, a home from home. Learning is everywhere, whether in the classroom, garden or the fields and woods beyond. The wonderful Acorns teachers appreciate the value of being present to a child’s imagination and inspiration at any moment so that precious opportunities are made the most of, with careful observations, shared often and eagerly, whether formally or by the door at the end of a fun-filled day. A most special place."

​

"My son has been attending Acorns Nursery for over a year, starting initially at Lindfield and most recently the last 6 months or so at Westmeston. The Nursery's beliefs and amazing team members have ensured that my child (and all children in their care) is growing mentally and physically beyond our greatest expectations every term! This, added to the unique 'Forestry' elements to my child's learning, is resulting in a very happy, secure and knowledgeable little boy!"

​

"The Acorns Nursery School Westmeston is fabulous. My daughter loves her days there and is always excited to know it's a nursery school day. The staff are fantastic, providing so many creative and fun activities all week. The outside space is vast and the children are given the freedom to run around and ride their scooters or bikes every day. I have nothing bad to say about The Acorns!"

​

"The Acorns, Westmeston is a wonderful nursery in a unique outdoor setting. My son loves the fact that he gets to spend so much time outdoors playing, riding his bike and learning through the woodland school program. The staff are amazing! So supportive and provide the children with a wide variety of activities, games and outdoor fun. My son has learnt so much about space this term and has developed a passion for all things science. The setting really enables the children to be exposed to all the wonderful things nature has to offer while being looked after by such lovely staff."
