From the Little Acorns
Melanie Gooch and Samantha Riley are the proprietors of Acorns Children's Clubs. We have been on a really interesting, hard, and enjoyable adventure since we began working together in 2009.
We presently run 2 preschools, 5 wraparound programmes, and other programmes all situated in the Dudley borough.
We take great satisfaction in offering children situations that are interesting, educational, enjoyable, and compassionate.
We devote a lot of effort to employee development and give each member of our team the chance to advance their expertise.
We make sure to stay current on changes in legislation and practise by regularly attending conferences and training sessions as qualified practitioners ourselves. We like spending time in all of our settings, getting to know the kids and their families, and doing the work we love. Over the years, it has been a joy to see so many kids flourish and grow in our environments, and in more recent years, we have even had the pleasure of welcoming some of them back for work experience.
Our main goal is to offer daycare that both parents can rely on and that kids love and that supports their learning and growth.
