Acorns Nursery School Cirencester

Miles & Helen with their children

Acorns Nursery School has been the first choice for thousands of families for over half a century, since its establishment in 1952. It is family run by Helen and Miles Guerrini who took over in 2005 and whose mission is to provide the very best early years education possible.

Acorns is a ‘hidden gem’ in the centre of the old market town. It has often been described by visitors and parents as surprisingly Tardis – like, or labyrinthine, as behind the unassuming gate lies four gardens surrounded by a collection of beautiful Cotswold stone buildings.

Parking is by our back gate on Castle Street or just two minutes walk away in The Brewery / Tesco car park.

We are registered with Ofsted and cater for children from 3 months to 5 years. We are open from 8am – 5.45pm all year round.

Mighty Oaks After School and Holiday Clubs

Mighty Oaks After School and Holiday Clubs quite literally grew out of Acorns.

Originally the after school and holiday children came to Acorns until these clubs grew to their current size and moved firstly to CRFC (Cirencester Rugby Football Club) and then to its current home at The Clubhouse.

We also have after school clubs at Ashton Keynes School and Cirencester Primary School.
