Little Acorns Daycare
A warm, playful start for babies, toddlers and preschoolers
About us
Little Acorns Daycare looks after babies, toddlers and preschool children in a warm, homely setting, and offers after-school care for older children once the school day ends. Our days follow the rhythm of young children, with time to play, to rest, to eat and to be outdoors, and we share the day with parents when they come to collect.
Learning happens through play here. Our staff notice what each child is curious about and build on it with stories, songs, sensory play, building and messy activities that suit their age. We care for families who need a place they can rely on, and we get to know each one so that drop-off and collection feel calm.
Our vision
We want every child who comes through our door to feel safe, curious and ready for whatever comes next.
Our mission
Our mission is to give families dependable daycare where young children are cared for kindly and learn through play every day.
Our values
Safe and watchful
We keep a close eye on every child and tell parents plainly about anything that happens in their day.
Kindness
We speak to children gently, treat their feelings as real and expect the same from every adult in the room.
Play with purpose
We choose activities that let children explore, make things and talk, because that is how young children learn.
Partnership with parents
You know your child better than anyone, so we listen first and agree routines for feeding, sleep and comfort together.
Our services
Baby care
Close, gentle attention for babies, with feeding, sleep and changing routines agreed with their parents.
Toddler care
Space to move, explore and start to talk, with a daily rhythm of play, snacks, rest and time outdoors.
Preschool learning through play
Stories, songs, counting games and creative play that help children get ready for school at their own pace.
After-school care
A calm place for school-age children to unwind with a snack, play and quiet time until a parent collects them.
Daily updates for parents
A conversation at collection about the day, and a message to you whenever something needs your attention.
Who we serve
We look after the children of working parents who need dependable daycare, from families returning to work after a new baby to those with a toddler and an older child at school. Many of our parents have never left a child with anyone before, so we welcome visits and questions. After-school care helps parents whose working day finishes later than the school day does. We build routines around each child, not the other way round.
Why choose us
Settling in at your child's pace
We plan short first visits so a new child gets to know the room and one familiar adult before a full day.
Open about the day
You hear how the day went when you collect, and we phone you if anything needs your attention.
One daycare from baby room to after-school
Brothers and sisters can be cared for in one place, which keeps drop-off and collection simple.
Learning that feels like play
Children build skills for school through stories, songs and making things rather than formal lessons.
How we work
You visit and ask questions
We show you the rooms and the daily routine, and answer everything you want to know.
We learn about your child
You tell us about sleep, feeding, favourite comforts and what your child enjoys, and we write it down.
We settle your child in gently
Short visits come first, then longer mornings, then full days as your child grows comfortable.
We keep in touch every day
You hear about the day at collection, and we talk with you whenever a routine needs to change.
