Testimonials​

"Beautiful space, a really big indoor playhouse for little ones to run around. Mummy also had a nice, relaxing time at the cafe area getting some work done but was still able to easily see my girl wherever she went. The staff is also super friendly and attentive. Overall a very positive, warm vibe at Acorn Playhouse!"

"My wife and I brought our 3 young boys to Mighty Oak's Playhouse and had a great time. My wife had been to an open day with our 2 year old before and loved it, so we came as a family and really enjoyed our time together. The 3 hours went really quick, and we were able to chat together and with other parents whilst our kids played in all the different play spaces. Clearly a huge amount of research has gone into designing and organising the play spaces and highly recommend it to other parents with young kids! Check it out!"

"Wonderful facilities and warm staff. Well done guys! You’ve created a safe and fun environment! My 2-year-old had so much fun with the sensory play and enjoyed the story time too! Would love to visit again in the future."

"This was Norris's first visit, and he had so much fun, especially enjoying the cooking class! We were impressed by the flexibility of the program—the class still operated even with just one child attending. It shows how much the team values every child’s experience. We truly appreciate the care and attention from all the staff and will definitely be coming back again!"

Joey L
Acorn Junior Chef

"Acorn Playgroup was the perfect stepping stone for our child! Ms. Alessia is so fun, and we loved all her activities, especially the messy play. Our child got into our first-choice pre-nursery—we’re so grateful!"
