Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Worsley
from Leanne T (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I couldn't be happier with my decision to enrol my son at Stepping Stones Worsley. From day one, the experience has been nothing short of fantastic.

The team are truly exceptional - warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. It's so lovely how they know every single child by name,

even those who aren't in their group yet!

Since joining, my son has grown so much - both socially and developmentally. I often get comments on how confident, and vocal he is, and I know that's a reflection of the nurturing environment and amazing care he receives every day at nursery.
Thank you to the entire Stepping Stones Worsley team. You go above and beyond, and it truly shows. You're making a real difference!

Really happy with Stepping Stones Mirfield. The staff are so friendly & easy to talk to - they really make you feel welcome and supported. The food is good & the whole place is spotless. They spend loads of time outdoors & have frequent trips to the park & library.

from R B (Mother of Child) published on 23 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Both my son and daughter have attended the nursery and I have been happy with the level of care provided, the staff that really care about the children. My daughter is due to leave soon and I will be sad when she does.
Whilst she has been there the outdoor space has recently been upgraded and is really

good for all the children to use. They are regularly outside and all seem to love this space.
I would recommend the nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience

Since my granddaughter started stepping stones she has thrived. She has learnt so much over the last few months and she obviously enjoys all the activities as she has a big smile on her face on all the photos i see on the closed Facebook page.
It is an excellent setting and all the staff in baby room,pre

-toddlers and the management team are first class.

from Laura H (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Where has the time gone!! My little girl soon starts big school.
I honestly can not thank the team at Rothwell enough for all they have done.
My child has come on leaps and bounds since she started back in July 2021 and just 8 months old.
It's great to see her develop in all learning aspects and

my child clearly enjoys it at nursery, she is always telling us of what she has been up to and what she had been doing with her friends.
My child confidence has grown so much and I feel the team have made her ready to tackle big school.
I know when she leaves she will miss all the team and her friends, but hopefully some of them move to the same school.
Thank you stepping stone for helping turn my little baby into a very young girl.
Thank you

Overall Experience

We're so happy with Stepping Stones Nursery! He has settled in incredibly well, especially after a difficult experience with a previous childminder where he just didn't settle. The staff are warm, welcoming and clearly care about the children. He has access to a wide range of fun, stimulating activities

and comes home smiling every day. One thing we really love is that there are no TVs - everything is hands-on and encourages real play and learning. The food is also fantastic - fresh, healthy and always a hit with him. We couldn't be more pleased!

Overall Experience

Stepping Stone Day Nursery Rothwell is an excellent nursery. My little girl started here in September 2024, she has since learnt and grown so much in just 6 months. I feel they provide the right balance between fun and education. My little girl loves engaging in creative activities and the outdoor facility

area. My partner and I, appreciate how comfortable the staff has made our little girl from the very beginning. They are very helpful, caring and professional. Their regular updates are most helpful.
The positive impact on our little girl has been impressive, and as a family, we couldn't be more happier. If you're a parent looking for a supportive, safe and warm welcoming environment for your little one, we definitely recommend the Stepping Stone Rothwell.

Overall Experience

My little boy has recently started at Stepping Stones in the baby room. Throughout the process of settling in and his first sessions we have felt very supported by the staff, no question is too small for them. They have taken the time to get to know my son and although he hasn't been there long he enjoys

nursery and has fun. I'm looking forward to seeing him grow and learn more there!

Overall Experience

My Son has only been with the setting for 3 weeks but WOW what a positive change we see in him and the nursery has played a huge part in that already.
We left a recent setting as my son stuggle to settle after been there 9mths and the transition has been night and day.
The staff are so kind, friendly

and really do create a caring, safe space and acknowledge every childs needs, not just a one size fits all approach.
Everyday is different for the kiddies with lots of outdoor play, crafts, exploring and plenty of art work sent home! Food has so many varieties. Commication was very important for us which we can not fault!
Wish we had moved sooner! Thank you to all the team :)

Overall Experience

My twin boys moved to this nursery over a year ago. They were developmentally delayed and struggled to communicate verbally. Within months of starting at stepping stones they were able to speak small words and have only come on leaps and bounds since then. They are no longer delayed and fit in with

every other 3 year old in their group. All of this is thanks to the time, love and care that all of the staff have taken to ensure that they thrive. All of the staff have a love and passion for looking after each individual child and that really shows day to day. I can't thank them enough for how easy they've made it to leave my boys in their care.

from James R (Father of Child) published on 25 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Son goes to Stepping Stones currently and all my children have also gone through nursery there through to pre-school (2 girls and 1 boy). We have loved every step of our journey with the manager and the team and we'll be very sad in the future when we won't be going through the nursery doors. My

son currently is in pre-school and he loves it. He's been slightly delayed with his speech development but management and the team have gone above and beyond to keep us informed and help us to work with them at home to help my son flourish. He's come on leaps and bounds and he happily walks into pre-school. Every-time we pick him up the smile on his face is from ear to ear. Stepping Stones Worsley is not just a nursery, the manager has continued to make it feel like you are part of a big family and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone in the area. A real asset to Boothstown.

This nursery setting is absolutely fantastic. Both of my daughters have received fantastic care whilst attending here over the past few years. Staff are caring and friendly - this goes for every member of staff I have ever spoken with and about any query I've had. My daughters love playing both inside

and out, and they learn so much whilst here, I highly recommend Stepping Stones Day Nursery at Lingley Mere.

from Sarah B (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I'm SO glad I enrolled my daughter into Stepping Stones Worsley; I don't have a bad word to say.
The staff are all absolutely wonderful and I love how they all know every child's name, even if they aren't in their class yet! (Some even remember my name which is above and beyond!).
My daughter has

come on leaps and bounds since starting at Stepping Stones and I always get compliments on her behaviour, development and social skills (I wish I could take full credit myself, but that would be discrediting the incredible work everyone at nursery does!).
My daughter is quite hit and miss with food (as in quantities that she will eat, she generally eats all foods), but she loves the chefs freshly made food; and with a 5* hygiene rating, what could be better?!
I could go on and on with everything I love, but I'm running out of characters.
So I will end by saying thank you to each and every member of staff. Your hard work and dedication doesn't go unnoticed. You're all amazing!

My little girl has recently joined stepping stones and absolutely loves it! She comes home telling me about her friends and the staff and what they got up to during the day. The kids get up to different things each day relevant to what's going on (Pancake Day, Chinese new years, valentines day) which

I thinks fab. I would definitely recommend stepping stones:)

Overall Experience

My little boy started at this nursery on 10/02/2025 and they have been nothing but helpful! Nothing is ever too much for them and the care and dedication they have to helping my little boy settle in is fantastic. They are thorough, kind and the staff here are also impeccable to catering to children's

needs. They have helped my son settle in really well as he is an emotional child but they know exactly what to do to make him feel like it is a home from home environment. I feel at ease knowing he is at a nursery that deliver such high standard of care towards children, i could not recommend Stepping Stones Nursery enough.

from Maddalena C (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our daughter has attended Stepping Stones Day Nursery since January 2024. We couldn't be happier with the setting, from the initial settling in sessions where practitioners were so kind and caring to our daughter and to us as parents during the transition.
The practitioners are so knowledgeable and

ensure developmental needs are met by creating a nurturing and creative environment to thrive.
A special mention to one staff member in particular, for always accommodating our daughters specific allergy requirements and providing healthy and nutritious food. We get specific requests at home for the nursery menu weekly!
I would highly recommend this nursery - a home from home.

Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Washington
from Beth T (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter started at the nursery back in 2022 not long after her 2nd birthday. She built great bonds with the staff where her communication skills and personality were able to grow and grow. She loved every second of her time at the nursery and was sad to leave when it was time to start school. Since

then, my son has started at the nursery when he was 17 months. Again, he absolutely loves the nursery and gets excited to go. He is developing so much and we have noticed a big difference in his talking and his ability to eat independently.
Overall, we have always had a great experience with both children in all rooms within the nursery. Our kids have both loved it and I would always recommend.

Stepping stones has been an amazing nursery for our little boy! He has attended since may 2024 and I was very anxious at the start but the staff have been brilliant! The nursery itself is a great space and offers the children lots to do, we love that when the weather is good the staff take the children

out for walks and to the park. The staff are brilliant and our little one has developed lovely relationships with them. The nursery are very accommodating if your child has dietary requirements etc and been very accommodating when we've needed extra sessions!

from Rebecca H (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We have had our little boy at Stepping Stones for the last few years now. He started off in babies and is now in Preschool and he has loved every single day at nursery. We have never had any issues with him going in each day; he has loved all the staff members and now he is talking. He tells us how

much fun he has with all his friends and teachers. The staff at Stepping Stones are second to none; the care and attention they give your little ones is incredible and the bond they build makes it so much easier to leave your child in their care. Our little girl has recently started in the baby room and she was a little more hesitant, but she has the best relationships with all the staff now and settles really quickly. The staff go above and beyond to make your little one feel as comfortable as possible and they really help bring them out of their shell. I couldn't recommend Stepping Stones enough to anyone looking to put their child into nursery.

Overall Experience

We have two daughters who attend Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Washington. Our eldest is now 4 and has been attending since she was 11 months old. Our youngest is 15 months old and has been at Stepping Stones for 6 months. Both girls have come on so much since starting nursery. It's been lovely to see

our eldest flourish there and to see our youngest going the same way is fantastic. Our eldest daughter has multiple allergies, and the staff at Stepping Stones have been very vigilant in keeping her safe while at nursery. It's a pleasure to collect them and hear about what a lovely day they have had, especially when we hear it first-hand from our 4-year-old.
