About Acorn Early Years
At Acorn Early Years, we’ve been inspiring children for over 35 years with our ethos of child-led learning, outdoor exploration, and nurturing care.
We are proud to be the largest childcare provider in Milton Keynes, offering high‑quality early education and out‑of‑school care across the region. As a social enterprise and not‑for‑profit organisation, everything we do is centred around children’s wellbeing, learning, and happiness. Any surplus we generate goes straight back into improving our settings, supporting our staff, and creating enriching experiences for families — ensuring children always come first.
Our holiday clubs reflect these values, providing a safe, nurturing, and adventure‑filled environment where children can explore, grow, and thrive. With skilled practitioners, dedicated Forest School leaders, and a rich blend of outdoor adventures, creative play, and hands‑on learning, every day offers something new. Children build confidence, independence, and real‑world skills through woodland activities, team challenges, crafts, and play with friends — all wrapped in Acorn’s warm, community‑focused approach. Families choose Acorn because they know their children are cared for, inspired, and genuinely excited to come back each day.
🌿 Forest School Holiday Clubs
Perfect for children who love nature! Led by experienced Forest School leaders, these clubs offer exciting outdoor adventures where no two days are ever the same. Activities include fire lighting, woodwork, forest crafts, campfire cooking, and plenty of time for imaginative play.
Our Locations:
Emberton (Ages 3–11) – A beautiful village setting where children can swing, pond dip, hunt for mini beasts, mix potions in the mud kitchen, or relax in hammocks.
Cold Harbour, West Bletchley (Ages 3–11) – A woodland haven for mini-beast hunting, mud kitchen magic, and creative forest crafts.
Salcey Forest (Ages 4–12) – A truly wild experience! Tree climbing, den building, bug hunting, and hammock chilling in the heart of the forest.
🏫 New Bradwell Holiday Club (Ages 4–11)
Located on the grounds of New Bradwell School, this club combines outdoor fun with the safety of a school setting. Children enjoy ball games, trikes and scooters, bubble play, chalk art, and in winter, access to the sports hall for dancing, mindful activities, circle time, and games. It’s the perfect space for creativity, friendship, and active play.
