Review of Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Urmston from L C (Mother of Child) published on 14 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my children love nursery & usually don't want to leave as they're too busy enjoying whatever they're doing. I couldn't have asked for better love & care in the baby room, with staff going above & beyond to think of a wide range of activities, crafts, physical play, songs etc. The transitions between rooms have always been smooth. We felt really well supported with potty training in the toddler room. Both outdoor spaces have been refurbed whilst my children have attended the nursery & they are absolutely fantastic. No other nursery compared for outdoor play space. The menu is healthy and varied. The current management team are excellent - queries are responded to quickly, & they make a comfortable environment to raise any concerns & give support. I have highly recommended the nursery to several other families who now attend.

Overall Experience

Our child has been here since they were 10months old and are now in pre school, they love the staff who really seem to care about the children and take care to understand each child. My son especially loves the outdoor areas with their "risky play" . He really seems to be coming along in his learning.

Review of Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Gomersal from Victoria V (Mother of Child) published on 13 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have 2 kids currently attending Stepping Stones (baby room and pre-school room), both absolutely love coming to nursery.

The staff are always so friendly and welcoming and make you feel extremely comfortable and confident in leaving your child with them.

The range of activities they do with the kids is brilliant and keeps them engaged throughout the day. I particularly love that they take them out on trips e.g. to the park and the library.

Would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone who asks.

Reply from Jadene Lowe, Manager at Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Gomersal

Thank you so much for your lovely review and for recommending Stepping Stones. It means so much to hear that both of your children enjoy coming to nursery and are thriving in both the baby room and pre-school room.

Our team works hard to create a warm, welcoming, and engaging environment for all...

Overall Experience
My Daughter comes to this nursery, she absolutely loves it here, staff are here are amazing, my daughter is in the preschool room and learning so much, she become very confident and very independent, the staff are getting her ready to start Primary school in September.
The garden is just amazing, so much for them to do, my daughter loves being outside, she loves riding around the track on the scooters and bikes with her friends.

I can't thank the nursery enough for everything they do, my daughter gone from being a shy baby to an independent little girl.

Overall Experience

I can't fault anything with Stepping Stones Urmston, my daughter absolutely loves it and has thrived in her two years there. The staff are warm, welcoming and attentive, they really get to know the children and the parents. The amount and variety of different things they do with the children is great, and I love that they spend so much time outdoors with them when they can. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough, and will be sending my son there when I go back to work :-)

Review of Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Urmston from Claire C (Mother of Child) published on 7 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both our children love stepping stones and have made wonderful relationships with all the caring staff. They put in so much care and effort to make learning fun and exciting, and child led. The garden space is also amazing. Knowing the boys have been running around and playing in nature for a big chunk of the day is great.

Review of Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Stockton Heath from Amy C (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with the care our 2-year-old son receives at this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in his development and happiness. It's clear that they create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable to explore, learn, and grow.

Our son has become more confident, social, and curious since starting, and we've noticed such a positive difference in his communication and independence. The activities are engaging, creative, and fun, helping to support his learning through play.

We also really appreciate the regular updates and communication, which give us peace of mind. It's so reassuring to know he's in such caring and capable hands.

Thank you to the entire team at Stepping Stones Day Nursery for the amazing work you do - we highly recommend this nursery to any family in the area looking for the right care for their young child.

Review of Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Urmston from N H (Mother of Child) published on 29 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended this nursery since he was 9 months old and is now 4, and I couldn't recommend it more highly. He has come on in leaps and bounds-his confidence, social skills, and development have grown so much thanks to the caring and dedicated staff.

The team create a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to thrive. Activities are engaging and tailored to help every child progress.

What really stands out is the relationships the staff build-not only with the children but with parents too. They take the time to get to know you as a family, which makes such a difference.

As he heads off to big school this September, it's bittersweet-I'm so proud of him but truly sad to see him leave such a special place. I'm incredibly grateful for everything they've done.

Review of Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Urmston from S G (Father of Child) published on 29 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Every single member of staff has been incredibly helpful and has taken great care of my kids. Ellie, Louise, Cot, and many others have all been lovely, friendly, and welcoming with the children.

They offer a great mix of outdoor and indoor activities, along with special story days, and they celebrate festivals and events in a way that involves both kids and parents.

They've also been excellent at accommodating dietary requirements and carefully following all instructions provided.

Overall, it's an excellent team providing a fantastic service. Most importantly, it's a safe and healthy environment for our children.

Our 1 year old recently started at Stepping Stones and we couldn't be happier with the transition. The staff have been so welcoming and kind and it is clear that they truly care about each individual child. Communication has been fantastic every step of the way, which has made our first experience of a nursery straightforward and easy. The outdoor area is lovely with lots going on. We are so grateful for the support whilst our daughter has been settling in and we can see that she will thrive in this setting. Thank you!

My son absolutely loves stepping stones and the staff are amazing! He's come on so much since attending and is excited to go in every time he sees the building. I love the artwork he sends home and seeing all the pictures of him throughout the day. They also have a really good menu of food and have helped him with getting into solid. I feel like my son is safe and cared for and I can't ask for much more than that.

Review of Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Washington from Sophie A (Mother of Child) published on 22 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have so much praise for Stepping Stones.

The activities they do with the children each day are well thought through, educational and fun. The food is well balanced and healthy. The staff are exceptional and give the level of care I give to my own child. The facilities are extremely clean and there is an abundance of toys for children to play with. The staff go outside with the children regularly on walks and the children are often playing in the garden area when weather permits.

Stepping Stones is a fantastic nursery and one I recommend to every parent and carer. There is a strong sense of starting education early through fun learning and this is definitely reflected in how much my child has developed thanks to Stepping Stones.

Review of Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Gomersal from Kirsty M (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot recommend Stepping Stones Gomersal enough. The staff are amazing and constantly go above and beyond! They put on the most amazing activities and trips out for the children. They support the children and parents in everything from toilet training to picking you up after a rough nights sleep! Even staff in the other rooms really get invested in your child! They also put the most amazing events for parents to attend! They are also always ready to give any advice asked for!

I would be lost without this nursery! And never ever want my child to leave! So very thankful to have the best set of ladies look after and help bring my child up!
