Helmdon Acorns Pre-School

Tailoring a unique learning journey for each child

At Helmdon Acorns, every child is celebrated as a unique individual. We take pride in tailoring a personal learning journey that nurtures their curiosity, confidence, and love of discovery.

Our dedicated and highly qualified team create a safe, supportive environment where children feel valued and inspired to learn through play, exploration, and creativity.

Nestled in the heart of Helmdon’s beautiful countryside, our purpose-built preschool offers the perfect setting for children aged 2 until they begin their primary school adventure.
