We do a range of adult supported and child led activities in Acorns. We have fun with our music and movement sessions, enjoy visiting and exploring our woodland area and baking cakes, biscuits and celebrating foods from different cultures using some of our favourite recipes. We also do 'Dough Disco' daily to help build up our core strength and muscles ready for writing!
How a key person works
We feel it’s important that your child feels safe and secure. Quite often we find that a child will settle well with a particular member of staff, this person will become your child’s key worker. We will work with you at all times through verbal, written reports and information that you give us at the times of registration.
We welcome you into Acorns at any time.
We can be contacted through the main school – 01793 521903 and by email.

Spring Term 2025
This term we have been thinking about Winter and the cold. We have made snowflakes and created lots of winter themed pictures. We have been enjoying trips to our very own little library each week, sometimes meeting up with our friends in Nursery. We love choosing a book to take home.
At the beginning of each session we have started to introduce 'Wiggle Me Into a Squiggler'. We have been using different bits of fabrics, and moving our bodies in a variety of different ways. It is designed to help the early stages of mark making and physical development in our bodies used to help us when we write.
The children have also been learning about how to keep our teeth healthy.
In Acorns, just before going home, we like to do lots of singing and read stories.
One of our favourite stories to read this term is 'Whatever Next' by Jill Murphy and one of our favourite songs to sing is 'In a rocket' and 'Teddy Bear Teddy Bear'. The children are amazing at doing the actions and joining in singing the words to the songs.
This survey gives you the opportunity to let Ofsted know what you think about your child's school.
At the entrance of Acorns we have a Lending Library. Parents/carers are very welcome to pop along with their little ones and can choose a book that they would like to share with their child/ren.
