A quality learning experience for children requires a quality workforce. Tiny Acorns Ltd recognises this and ensures all classes are led by quality, well-trained, skilled staff. We strongly believe this increases the potential to deliver the best possible outcomes for children.

Laura, Managing Director
My name is Laura and I own Tiny Acorns Ltd.

Entertaining children became a passion of mine after I had my first daughter in 2008. I tried attending many classes and groups but found them either clicky and unfriendly (we all hate being ignored, don’t we!) or unnaturally over-scripted and lacking in any educational benefit for my daughter.
Tiny Acorns Baby and Toddler classes came about from my successful career as a corporate Training Manager and my twenty years as a Brownie Leader. I knew how to make things fun so that children would learn without realising but I also knew how to stimulate older brains so the grown ups don’t get bored either! Realising this was a good mix, my baby class started with one client one day a week and we slowly but surely grew into the most popular classes across Hemel Hempstead, establishing further afield as our reputation grew. I’m proud to say that 98% of my client base is via word of mouth so I know you’re liking Tiny Acorns classes!

Another daughter later, the business is franchised, employs contract class teachers and has a growing database of happy grown ups and children. Tiny Acorns Ltd is going places, but I’m still very hands-on! I still teach the classes in Hemel and some in Berkhamsted. I’m determined not to forget what I love doing – meeting you all and entertaining your beautiful children. I look forward to meeting you on this exciting ride!!

Nannie Joan, Director, Company Secretary
Hi to you all, my name is Joan and I’m Laura’s Mum! I am a Director and Company Secretary to Tiny Acorns. Children and adults call me Nannie Joan. I treat all the children with love and kindness, as I do my gorgeous granddaughters.

I high-five with all who want to. I stamp the toddlers with my Acorn stamp, sometimes the carers too! It’s rewarding when I get a cuddle and a kiss at the end of classes, or I’m recognised by the children or carers outside of Tiny Acorns. I love helping at parties. Whilst I can’t entertain like Laura, I love helping with the arts and crafts side of things … my origami flying birds are now legendary!

Sharon, Franchise Owner, Luton
Hi, my name is Sharon.I bumped into Tiny Acorns when my daughter was a few months old and I was looking for a fun, active and welcoming group to take her to. Four years later we have been to baby, music, toddling, art, sport and dance classes as well as some of the mums’ social events. When your sister tells you that your 4 1/2 year old has been teaching her Agadoo you know she enjoys herself!Bethany`s arrival also brought with it a chance to make the move from my desk job to something I really want to do. In early 2012 I trained as a volunteer Breastfeeding Peer Supporter with the NCT working with Children`s Centres, Health Visitors and Midwives. hen the opportunity came along to become part of the Tiny Acorns Team, it was one I could not miss. I look forward to meeting you all and sharing the fun and games.

Traci, Website Designer
Hi, my name is Traci and I’ve been working with Laura since 2011, helping to design and maintain Tiny Acorn’s website! Together we try to give you all the very best information we can and keep it all up to date so that you can easily decide which Tiny Acorns class suits you and your little one the best. I worked for many years in the world of banking and became a Learning Design Manager in 2003, working with different departments of the bank to help them get their message across to their employees by means of online learning. In 2007, I emigrated to the USA where I now work as a Training & Communications Specialist. Working with Tiny Acorns is a joy! I love to publish all the wonderful feedback on the baby & toddler classes, and see the great images of you all enjoying yourselves, making new friends and having fun with your children. We hope you enjoy the website here at www.tinyacorns.co.uk. If ever you have any feedback, suggestions or ideas on how we can make your experience online even better, we’d love to hear from you!
