Review from Roela C (Mother of Child) published on 8 October 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience

I recently started my little girl at Dockside Day Nursery. Previously she was with her Nan daily as I work full time. Dockside Day Nursery have been amazing, they have catered for my specific needs with child care and timings and have been very supportive with my little girl's training and development. The things she has learnt so far are brilliant, every day she has done something new and every day she surprises me with her progress.

At first, I was a little worried about putting her in nursery as she was a little unsure about others and quite nervous. She is now blossoming thanks to the nursery and she has made lots of friends that she talks about all the time. The nursery team are brilliant and I couldn't fault anything they are doing. My little one loves it here and I am so happy with everything about the nursery. I am glad this is the nursery we decided on.

Overall Experience

My 3-year-old daughter has been attending Dockside since September and absolutely loves it! We were a bit apprehensive but we didn't need to worry as the staff are just wonderful! They have made Elsie feel so welcome and part of the "family" she loves going to her new nursery and literally runs to get there as she is so excited!

The variety of activities are also really good and I am very impressed with the range of different play activities that also enable her to learn through play (eg play-dough, crafts, messy play the list is endless and best of all the nursery APP means I can receive daily pictures of my daughter with comments about what she has been doing or eating.
My daughter has grown so much in confidence since starting over a month ago and I feel so much more relaxed and happy since she started at Dockside.

I highly recommend this nursery if you are looking for somewhere that genuinely care about your child and encourages and nurtures them.

Overall Experience

Dockside Day Nursery has started recently and my child is amongst the first few children to start at nursery. He is really liking it and learning lots of new stuff every day. Staff at nursery very caring and soft-spoken and is good in taking care of children. My child loves to go nursery.

Overall Experience

Dockside Day Nursery and Pre-school is by far the best nursery that we have found. My son has attended for a couple of months and absolutely loves it. All the staff are amazing and it feels like a family, nothing is ever too much for them and they are always smiling. I feel 100% comfortable when leaving my son at the nursery and know that he will have an amazing time and trust that he is in a safe environment. My son has attended a nursery previously but never settled however since starting at Dockside Day Nursery he has come out of his shell and has progressed more than we could have imagined in such a short period. I would 10000% recommend this nursery.
