We are open Monday to Friday and offer all day sessions from 8.45 until 3.15. We are generally open on the same dates as Bilton Grange School. Please ask for a calendar, as some dates will be different. We have a small number of available places for Sept 24. Please contact us to check availability or arrange a visit.
We follow up on children's interests so, for example, if they want to bake, we will take them to the shops to buy ingredients, making it a real-life experience, using the opportunity to write shopping lists and count money. We have other visits including to the fire station and an annual farm visit.
We have a very good relationship with staff at Bilton Grange school and they visit the children in the summer term to get to know them. We also have great partnerships with other local schools and we are happy to have visits so that teachers can meet children who will be joining them. This helps with transitions to school, to make them as stress free as possible.
We are situated in a classroom in Bilton Grange School. Our room is carefully designed so that children can make independent choices and learn from adults, the environment and each other. We also have a dedicated outdoor area which we use every day.
At Acorns we recognise the importance of supporting children's health and well-being.
We believe that children need to learn the importance of leading active and healthy lives. We provide healthy snacks and regular opportunities to be active throughout the day. We encourage healthy lunchboxes and provide nutritious baking activities. We also promote children's oral health through activities.
