Marina Montessorri (within Gymfinity building)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. Beautiful setting with kind, professional and welcoming staff who truly enjoy caring for my daughter. We came to visit the nursery after having a bad experience with a previous childcare setting and the staff instantly made me feel at ease and confident that this
was the right setting for my child. My daughter is excited to go to nursery now and waves me out the door. We get lovely documented observations with pictures on a regular basis via the app to see what progress she is making and we are kept up to date with any issues in a timely manner. So happy we found this nursery and would highly recommend.
Reply from Toni OBrien, Nursery manager at Marina Montessorri (within Gymfinity building)Thank you for your lovely words and were so happy that you feel happy and secure along side your daughter, it makes us the Marina team happy to know that your daughter is happy and enjoying nursery days.

My partner and I and our little boy love Little Acres. The staff are so friendly, warm and welcoming. They are really attentive to the children and have great activities throughout the week that help them to learn, express emotions and explore different topics. They keep us well informed through the
app and communicate regularly with updates. Our little boy loves going to nursery and is always excited to go. He's thriving there and we couldn't be happier. The forest school is an amazing facility to have, as is the woods they can go for walks around. We're sending our newborn later in the year and are lucky to have secured a place early

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We think the nursery is absolutely brilliant. The children absolutely love it. My daughter is absolutely thriving and her manners, speech and knowledge are amazing.
My son couldn't speak when he started at the nursery and has external refers for speech and language therapy as well as autism and the
nursery has been so accommodating to this. They are always interested in his appointment results and I know they have worked
with his speech.
I cannot fault this nursery at all they always help me when I need advice and nothing seems to be too much of an ask.
Every staff member puts in 100% effort and it really shows.
Reply from Daisy Gibbs, Nursery Manager at Little Acres Day Nursery and Pre-schoolThank you so much for the kind words, We absolutely love having both of your children with us. They are a delight to have in the rooms.

A bright & shiny nursery accompanied by a great team. The new manager has a wealth of experience and it shows. My daughter was very happy & built very strong positive bonds with both her carers and other children. I just wish they had a lovely garden too. I would recommend again and again.
Reply from Toni OBrien, Nursery manager at Marina Montessorri (within Gymfinity building)Thank you for your lovely review, we appreciate your kind words,
We agree it would be amazing to have outside space and were hoping our new roof top garden will be ready for us to use in the spring term, in the mean time we will continue to use Gymfinity for the children's physical development needs and the children really enjoy this activity .

Thanks again for your review

Little Acres Day Nursery and Pre-school

from Ellie T (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with this nursery and pre-school. My daughter started when she was just 18 months old and is now 3, and the progress she has made is amazing.
The team are always teaching the children new skills in such a fun, supportive way, and her confidence has grown so much since attending.
The staff are incredibly lovely, welcoming, and genuinely care about each child.
We especially love the focus on outdoor learning and forest school - it's something my daughter really enjoys and looks forward to. They also regularly update the food menus, ensuring the children have a great variety of healthy, nutritious meals while they are there, which is very reassuring as a parent.
She has made so many new friends and is always excited to go in. I feel very confident knowing she is happy, learning, and well cared for every day. I would highly recommend this nursery and pre-school to any parent.
Reply from Daisy Gibbs, Nursery Manager at Little Acres Day Nursery and Pre-schoolThank you so much for your kind words. We love having your little one at the nursery, she brightens up any space she is in!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Marina Montessori have looked after my children since they were 12 and 7 months old (they are now 4 and 2.5) They are absolutely brilliant, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Marina Montessori to any family considering them.


All of the staff are always welcoming and friendly

at drop off which encourages the children to go in happily with no upset. They are also genuinely invested in my childrens' happiness, safety, and development while ensuring they have fun every day.


A huge bonus is that the children get to visit gymnastics twice a day, which is something no other nursery offers, and my children absolutely love it. We also receive regular updates through the app, which is very reassuring and keeps us well informed as working parents. Thank you Marina Montessori.

Reply from Toni OBrien, Nursery manager at Marina Montessorri (within Gymfinity building)Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear that your child is enjoying their time with us. Your kind words really mean a lot to our team and put a big smile on our faces.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 21 month old has been attending the nursery since January and we are more than pleased with her journey so far. My daughter took her time to settle, requiring a lot of attention and patience but the nursery were there every step of the way, nothing was too hard or too much to ask for and the trust/bond
that my daughter and myself now have with the nursery staff is a testament to this. All the staff are amazing, friendly and genuinely care about your child not the money which to me, is the most important aspect of a nursery setting. The facilities are light, bright and clean, the array of toys and activities are both age appropriate and perfect for the Montessori setting and the endless list of enrichment and engagement on offer is second to none. They mix up each and every day to keep it fresh and exciting and the additional access to the gym is an added bonus. I really couldn't fault the nursery in anyway. An all round 10/10 experience
Reply from Toni OBrien, Nursery manager at Marina Montessorri (within Gymfinity building)Thank you so much for your lovely review. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your kind words.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As first-time parents, we were nervous about choosing a nursery, but this one quickly put us at ease. The staff are warm, caring, and incredibly supportive, creating a safe and nurturing environment where our little one settled in beautifully.


Our child also has a special health need, and the team

have been absolutely amazing in managing it. They handle everything with professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail, which gives us complete peace of mind.


The daily updates and photos are a highlight-they help us feel connected and reassured throughout the day. It's clear the children are engaged, happy, and encouraged to explore through thoughtful, age-appropriate activities.


We couldn't be happier. This nursery has become a wonderful part of our routine, and we highly recommend it to any first-time parents.

My almost 2 year old has been attending the nursery for a month now and I have been so so pleased with our experience. Firstly, the nursery setting itself is beautiful - lots of natural light, clean, smells lovely, considered layout and a gorgeous array of toys and books. I look forward to drop off
and collection as it's genuinely a nice environment to be in. Toni, Amy and Hannah have all been incredible, from the first show round to my most recent collection - always happy, always there to give a debrief on the days activities and I feel they actually care so much about the children and their engagement with them. The daily activities are thoughtful and my daughter has been full of beans every time I have collected her. The app that the team use to log everything is really easy to use and I feel informed but not bombarded with updates. I've been very pleasantly surprised at how well my daughter has settled here and I thank the team for all their efforts.

Dockside Day Nursery and Pre-school

from Maddie P (Mother of Child) published on 18 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has attended Dockside Nursery since he was 7 months old, and it has been a truly wonderful experience. For nearly a year and a half, he has gone in so happy, a testament to the warm and caring staff. The bond he has formed with his key workers is special, and he has always separated easily from
me, which speaks volumes about the trust they create.
Even during a tough transition period, the staff were incredibly supportive and helped him with patience. The daily app updates-covering meals, naps, and nappy changes-are invaluable for a working parent. They also made a genuine connection with my older daughter who comes to drop-off.
We are so sad to be leaving but highly recommend Dockside Nursery to anyone looking for a nurturing and loving environment.

I have nothing but great things to say about both the nursery and staff working there.
When our son started he was a tough one to settle in but the girls in Baby room were so lovely and caring and he is now an outgoing cheeky character in there. We have seen such a big improvement in his confidence
and social skills.
The nursery are always putting on a range of activities to support our sons learning and development.
Not only have they been amazing with our son they have also been very supportive to us too, as first time parents we were apprehensive to leave him but they make sure to keep you updated throughout the day to help reassure you.

My twin girls have been attending here since they were 9months old and now are 2. They have come on so much since starting the nursery. One of my girls was very attached, shy and cried everytime at drop off, but all the staff in nursery room 1 worked with her and building her confidence and this has
really shown what they have done as she runs off say bye and goes in with a smile which makes my day feel so much easier. My other little girl enjoys the nursery so much and names all the staff on her room on a daily basis which shows me just how much they mean to her, she is full of confidence and just loves going everyday. They are turning into such clever little girls with the help of all the lovely staff! Thank you to all the staff for helping my girls on their journey with you all
