My child has delays in S&L and Acorns have played a huge part in her progress in speech and confidence. Acorns really help us and my child is very happy.
I think you are all amazing. We love Acorns!
Thank you for making my child happy and enjoy preschool.
My son is not yet confident to speak to someone but that is due to speech dely. He will go to staff for comfort when needed though and loves a cuddle!!
My child is happy to go to preschool, despite tears at dropoff!
Keep up the good work! My child has thrived whilst being at Acorns and has make some really nice friends whilst there. Keep doing what you do!
We are extremely happy we have found a safe space for my child, they are so excited to attend. We love the communication and updates throughout the day.
It’s been a nerve wracking experience but with support my child is finding her confidence. There always seems to be a solution to any problems along the way which really makes me feel as a parent, they care!
Do you have any ideas for improvement or development?
May be a few more updates. Maybe a session with parents to come in for half an hour to see what their child likes and reassure they are happy at preschool. Perhaps do an invite for parents once a year to see their child at Acorns such as a planned activity so we can see how they are doing. None, all seems to be a great system. (Thank you, we planning to implement these ideas)
