Located just outside the centre of Cardiff, in a conservation area, Acorns Oakfield Street can be found nestled in a quiet street off Newport Road.
Caring for children aged 2 1/5 to 5 years, Oakfield Street provides the perfect stepping stone from nursery to ‘big school’. Our Early Years and Foundation Phase planning, links to the National Curriculum and our qualified Early Years Teacher means that fun, inspirational teaching sessions are carefully planned to challenge children’s potential for learning. Qualified Forest School Leaders ensure the children learn about the environment around them, whilst Attribute Sports Development encourage music, movement and healthy bodies.
The Nursery Manager Joanne and her Assistant Sioned will be happy to show you around the nursery and are on hand every day to greet you and answer any questions.

Food
At Acorns we know the importance of healthy minds and healthy bodies and how vital it is for children to eat the right foods for growth and development. We also know that if children eat well in their early years they go on to make healthy choices throughout their lives.
We believe in providing home cooked, delicious meals every day and encourage the children to take a healthy interest in food. Each nursery has a vegetable planter where the children sow seeds for peppers, courgettes, beans, potatoes, strawberries and more, these are then harvested and used by our Cooks in nursery meals.
Our Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer menus and are always packed with new ideas and seasonal fruit and vegetables. The children enjoy breakfast, a 2 course lunch, high tea and a 5 o’clock snack. All of our nurseries hold Gold Healthy Eating Snack Awards. For babies and little ones we provide a puree and mash menu to ensure your child is enjoying foods for the correct stage of their development, older children are encouraged to self serve at the table to allow independence.
Our Nursery Nurses sit with the children at each meal to encourage and assist them at mealtimes, this promotes good table manners and social skills.
Cooking activities are a popular part of nursery life, and the children love to take part in food tasting sessions. We celebrate different cultures and festival at Acorns and enjoy learning about and discovering foods from all over the world.
