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.

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.

Stepping Stones have been fantastic and both our children really enjoy their time at nursery. The staff are lovely and caring. The children do lots of activities to help them learn. The outdoor area has been recently renovated and is an amazing place to play and they seem to be out there every day weather
permitting. Overall a brilliant nursery!

I couldn't be happier with the care and support my daughter receives at this nursery. Pearl and Courtney from the beginning have been warm and welcoming and genuinely invested in her development and wellbeing.
It's been great to see how much my daughters confidence has grown and I love seeing all
the updates from what activities she's been doing throughout the day.
Communication with parents is excellent too, and it's clear that the colleagues care about each child as an individual. I feel completely assured knowing she's in safe hands.
Thank you to everyone at the nursery for the fantastic work you do!

We're incredibly happy with the nursery and the care our son receives. The staff in babies (and throughout the nursery) are warm, attentive, and clearly dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for the children. It's wonderful to see how much he enjoys going each day and how much he's
learning and developing. Communication with parents is always clear and reassuring, which gives us great peace of mind. We truly appreciate all the hard work the team puts in and would highly recommend the nursery to other families.

My son absolutely loves going to nursery as soon as he gets through the door he puts his hands up to be picked up by the practitioner working at the time whoever they are which shows the great relationship he has formed with each of the staff members. He has developed so much since being there whether
that's been learning new words or practising motor skills. What's really useful Is that the nursery send regular updates via the app and we can send them to so that there's a complete picture of his development and his learning can be supplemented at nursery hand at home. He's not even two yet and we are already going to our second parents evening, which I think showcases the level of care and detail they go into. We chose this nursery because they clearly have a plan that they articulate as to how they support young children to develop in a structured way whilst also giving the child the space and freedom to be a curious young mind.
Reply from Cheryl Aylott, Manager at Stepping Stones Day Nursery - WorsleyThank you so much for this lovely review. We are so glad that you chose Stepping Stones and we will continue to give you thorough and timely feedback regarding your child's development. If you ever have any questions about this, then please do not hesitate to ask

We are so happy with this nursery. We couldn't ask for nicer staff who we really feel genuinely care for our child and want the best for her. From day one, we have felt so welcomed and there is always someone to help with anything and answer our questions. It's like we are part of a family. Since starting
this nursery, our little one has really flourished and thrived, developing in all areas amazingly well. That is thanks the dedicated staff.

My son absolutely loves nursery, he has come on leaps and bounds. He has been going for taster sessions to move into the toddler room, which he loves.
The staff are so welcoming and accommodating from the first good morning, saying goodbye at the end of the day.
My son has loved the taster sessions
so much he's not wanted to go back into the baby room so the girls have let him stay in the toddler room and he's enjoyed it so much. (He was due to move in March). I can't speak highly of the nursery enough. This is my first child and you can sometimes hear things on the news about nurseries but I have never had any worries and I know my child is in a safe and happy place!
Thank you we think you're brilliant! X
Reply from Cheryl Aylott, Manager at Stepping Stones Day Nursery - WorsleyThank you so much for your lovely review.

We are very happy with Stepping Stone Day Nursery Worsley. My son is settling very well and enjoys going there. The team and teachers are very kind and supportive. Their happy faces make my son even happier every day.
My daughter has also been with them since 2021, and we have always had a great experience.
Thank you to the wonderful team for taking such good care of our children.

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!

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.
Reply from Cheryl Aylott, Manager at Stepping Stones Day Nursery - WorsleyThank you so much for your lovely review :) We are so lucky that we have been able to watch all three of your children grow and learn through Stepping Stones. Thank you for your ongoing support and i am so glad that you are happy with your exprienece

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!

Both of my children started at this nursery after already attending a different nursery, they both settled in so well and developed such good relationships with the staff over the last 6 months. I'm really pleased with my children's routines here at stepping stones and all the activities they get up
to. The staff are so warm and welcoming and nothings ever to much trouble.
