Dockside Day Nursery and Pre-School is a full day care nursery situated in the Dockside Outlet Shopping Centre. The nursery has a unique, modern and fully secure rooftop garden looking out onto the picturesque Chatham Maritime Marina.

The nursery features five spacious and well equipped age-appropriate rooms ranging from babies to rising fives attended to by well qualified and experienced staff.

The Baby Room follows the home routines of younger babies, providing a loving and secure environment to meet all their needs. The Toddler Room features comfy areas, exciting activities and resources positioned around safe, fun physical equipment for those children who are toddling and explore a great deal more, but still may need aspects of their home routines. Staff work as closely as possible to match home routines for babies and toddlers.

The Nursery Rooms 1 and 2 cater for intrepid two-year-olds and all the excitement that being two brings. The engaging environment encourages a wide range of skills to be learned to aid independence with cosy areas to rest.

The Pre-School Room and Rising Fives Rooms inspires three and four-year-old children to gain the literacy, maths and self-care skills ahead of the crucial time of starting primary school ready to be life long learners.

Dockside has been amazing for my niece who joined in June 2025 following her transition of becoming a big sister. I do the drop offs and pick ups and cannot fault the staff team, management are great for answering any questions, reassuring any anxieties and being so welcoming! Great choice of nursery!

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.

Both of our daughters have attended, starting as early as 10 months old, and it has been such a positive experience for our family. From the very beginning, the staff have shown real dedication, not only in providing excellent care but also in listening to and meeting the individual needs of each child.

My daughter has been going here from 12 months old (she is now 2 1/2) . She is a very nervous/shy girly but the staff have been nothing but understanding and patient with her. She has made some lovely friends who she talks about all the time.
Whenever I have had minor complaints, they have been dealt
with efficiently and effectively. I am beyond happy with the care daughter receives here.

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

My daughter has attended this nursery for just over 10 months, she began in baby room and is now in toddler room. We have nothing but praise for the nursery staff as they go above and beyond every single day.


Staff are always professional, friendly, thorough in handovers, communication is great

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

Our daughter has been at Dockside Day Nursery for over a year now and we couldn't be happier with the care receives. The staff are warm, nurturing, and genuinely invested in each child's development. From the moment she started, they made her feel safe and valued, helping her grow in confidence, independence,
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!

Our son has been at Dockside for 2 years and we cannot express how amazing it is! We had to move our son from another nursery which closed down without any notice very quickly and our son's transition to Dockside was seamless - he went in skipping in the morning and always came out smiling and this
is down to the incredible staff they have who are so talented and nurturing and just all round wonderful! We will miss everyone dearly and will always be grateful for everything they have done for our son to prepare him for school and his next steps! The Manager is the bomb and she has a team of superstars! Highly recommend this nursery - there is nowhere better! Thank you!

Our son has been attending the nursery for 4 years and is just leaving to start primary school. We are so thankful that when viewing nurseries we settled with Dockside Day Nursery and Pre-School. Our son loves attending, and the feel of the nursery is very much a family. All the staff know our son and
are able to provide detailed handovers at the end of the day. We are provided developmental updates and photos via the app and this is lovely to feel involved in our son's learning and interests. Our son is very well prepared to start primary school. We are going to miss the friendly staff and laughs at the stories they tell us of our son's antics. The management team are involved in the day-to-day running of the nursery and are equally able to tell us what our son has been doing. We could not recommend the nursery enough and are so thankful for all they have done for our son.

Our son has been at the nursery for 4 years and our daughter started a year ago and we are so thankful for everything the team have done for them both throughout these years. They are always professional but have also become like part of the family to us. Our son loves attending and has never felt nervous
about going in and this is due to the fun environment the team provide and maintains whilst making sure they are ready to transition to primary. He has become so confident and that is all thanks to the nursery and we will be very sad when he has to say goodbye to them all. Whilst there are days our daughter can be a bit reluctant to go in, the team are always there to greet her with a smile and a cuddle and she is always happy to go straight to them. We always recommend the nursery to our friends and family and would like to say a huge thank you to you all.

My daughter attended the nursery from the age of 2. Born during Covid I was worried about social skills, however, I think that the nursery has been integral to my little one forming close friendships and she is very outgoing and social. She is also very excited to start school and I think again this
is down to the care and attention in preparing the children for their next steps. Would recommend

My son attended this nursery for one year and I couldn't be more grateful for the care he was provided. If you're looking for a nursery with polite, kind and caring practitioners, this is definitely the one for you. The manager is very proactive, and I knew my child would feel welcomed here from the
first day I met her. In one year, he has shown significant improvement in his behaviour, speech, and interaction with other children and adults, and is a lot more confident now. My son is very fond of his key worker and the other practitioners and really enjoys his time at the nursery. This nursery is indeed outstanding.

A heartfelt thank you to you all for all your hard work, love, dedication, patience, and care. You have been nothing but supportive not only to our daughter but our little family. You've helped develop her in many ways and also embedded some truly great values. Caring, supporting, teaching, and developing
whilst making every day a fun environment to go to which was also very important. You have done amazing throughout covid and truly have a remarkable team they are all lovely staff and had an impact on our daughter's development and 1st stages in life and helped prepare her for school through creative and educational activities even, through play and songs that were easy to memorise. While keeping us updated regularly with golden moments and observations. This all means that the transition from nursery to Reception should be smooth. A big thank you to the Manager as well as the team, we will never forget you with this important chapter of my daughter's life.

There is good feedback provided each day alongside the more formal pieces shared through observations

My son's overall time with the nursery has been nothing short of amazing. He has come so far since his first day and loves all the staff that work with him, often asking to see them over the weekends!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.923)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.923) out of 10 for Dockside Day Nursery and Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.923 for Dockside Day Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (288 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.923
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dockside Day Nursery and Pre-school is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 109 number of registered child places is 21.8, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
