The last Ofsted inspection of the Dockands nursery took place on 14th March 2007

"Young children are beginning to become competent learners. Practitioners encourage young children to express their thoughts and feelings. Good questioning and repeating techniques encourage the use of language. Most practitioners have a sound understanding of Birth to three matters framework and they have recently implemented this within the setting.

Children engage in appropriate activities, which are evaluated by practitioners. Children have good relationships with practitioners and they are able to talk about children’s stage of development in detail.

Younger children benefit from playing with and alongside practitioners as they play with the treasure basket and smile when looking at their reflection in the mirror. Unsettled children are well support by practitioners. They are very attentive towards children’s needs and children are
quickly reassured when they receive lots of warmth and cuddles."
