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.

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.

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.

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.

with efficiently and effectively. I am beyond happy with the care daughter receives here.

all i feel as if i have grown a bond with the nursery as a parent and i never felt that at my daughters first nursery which is nice because you want to be a part of their journey too

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

and clearly love their jobs.

The nursery were also not fazed by the additional needs our daughter has, which was a breath of fresh air.

We also have meetings with the SENCo who regularly reviews careplans to ensure they reflect her needs and challenge her- again, the SENCo is thorough, friendly and pays attention to detail.

There are a wide range of activities the staff do throughout the day to challenge and motivate the children and it is lovely to be sent photos monthly, so I can see her having fun. There is also an app where staff and parents can communicate, which makes contact easy.

Overall, we are thrilled our daughter has a place at this nursery. Thank you for all your hard work

and curiosity. The activities are creative and enriching, and she comes home excited to share what she's learned. Communication is excellent-we're always kept informed and feel completely reassured. Most importantly, our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. The joy on her face each morning says it all. We're so grateful to the amazing team at Dockside for creating such a positive and loving environment. Highly recommend!

cannot thank Little Acres Day Nursery and Pre-school staff enough for how they approached this. They supported him, and us in a sensitive way. They were modern thinking, well informed and reassured us with their knowledge of support and ways they could help him. He has benefited from attending pre-school and loves to go, often telling me how much he loves his teachers.
The forest school has been amazing and Emma's approach to learning is fantastic.
Little Acres provided a fantastic environment to learn in all areas, in a safe and supportive way.
We truly cannot thank you enough.

miss them once she goes up to the toddler room. But I am also excited to meet other team members and build a bond with the people who look after our daughter.

being in the pre-school room, he has formed special bonds with the staff and is a lot more confident with his numbers, colours, letters and general knowledge it is a joy to see.

one feel safe and at home. They also make sure that I am always updated regarding my little one's development and activities, which gives me piece of mind whilst I am working. I could not recommend this nursery enough.
