Acorn Day Nursery

Acorn Day Nursery provides a happy, safe, homely, and nurturing environment for children between the ages of six weeks to school age. We offer a full range of activities throughout the day with emphasis is on safe supervised outdoor play. Our courtyard garden has excellent core provision for children to play and learn in and take advantage of everything the Fife countryside on our doorstep has to offer.

We are lucky to have excellent farmyard facilities which are a stone’s throw from the nursery. We have good relationships with the local farms, often visiting to see the sheep, alpacas, and horses. We have two forest areas that the children use often, you can usually find us out and about on Kinaldy estate.

Activities vary daily, according to the seasons, children’s interests and/or topics covering the pre-birth to three and the curriculum for excellence, with an emphasis on health and well-being.

When families join Acorn, we welcome the whole family to our nursery. We encourage parent involvement in all areas of our nursery and love to have parents and carers visit us and spend time in the nursery with the children.

Our Values

Our values are very important to us at Acorn Day Nursery. We spend a lot of time with our families and the staff team to make sure they are fitted to our nursery and the type of care and learning we want to offer. Our values follow a thread through all the work that we do at Acorn. Whether that be when we are recruiting staff, where we ask how they would imagine working to these values, right through to our daily working and the staff team’s personal development plans. Our values are clearly displayed in each room of the nursery.
