Welcome to Acorns Pre School

Acorns Pre School is an intimate setting which provides comprehensive childcare and education for children aged between 2.5 and 5 years of age. Places at our establishment are limited as we cater for just 16 children. This is to preserve the family ethos and atmosphere we deem to be integral to our success. Our dedicated staff believe that to offer the effective childcare each parent has the right to expect we must attend to each child as we would our own children.

Our setting is located within the Leconfield estate in Cleator Moor, a busy market town on the edge of the Lake District. We hold a convenient location close to the major employment centers and are easily accessible from other villages via the Cold Fell Road, the A5086 from Cockermouth also the B5295 and A595 main trunk roads. Surrounding areas such as Frizington, Hensingham and not to mention the bustling Sellafield site are but a short journey from Acorns Pre School.

We are a truly inclusive establishment with our ethos being centred on mutual respect and moral development. Our staff team hold the firm belief that every child has the right to a happy childhood and that no child should be forced to mature or develop too quickly.

It is not our intention to "fit square pegs into round holes" we value each child as an individual and foster a sense of security.

This ensures your child will begin their education in a nurturing environment which enables them to explore the ever changing world in a safe and sensible manner.
