Day Nurseries Owned by Monarchs Childcare Ltd

Stepping Stones has been a fantastic nursery so far. My child can't wait to go in with his teachers each day. All of the staff have so much enthusiasm at drop off and pick up. The photos uploaded show a great variety of activities offered daily. The food offered is very nutritious. Staff know and accommodate my child's routines. I can see the development his teachers have been working with him on. Very happy with the whole team.

My sons started the nursery in September 2025, they both fell in love with the staff and the atmosphere straight away. My firstborn had a problem with talking before starting, and as soon as he started attending the nursery he started talking. I'm very grateful for all the help we're receiving and all of those amazing memories our boys will have.

The team at stepping stones are great. The growth we have seen in our child and the things she has learnt from her interactions with the nursery have been substantial.

Our child enjoys her days and always excited to tell us about her day.

It was the best decision we've made sending our son to stepping stones, right from the beginning all of the staff have been fantastic. The most kind, caring and attentive staff, who genuinely adore the children they look after and you can really see it. Leaving my son was a really nerve wracking prospect for me personally but this has been made so much easier for me, seeing how happy and content he is. The daily diaries and pictures are a really good way of keeping in touch & seeing what the children have been up to. Could not recommend this nursery enough

Our child enjoys a wide range of engaging activities in the nursery every day and is eating very well, which gives us great peace of mind. The staff truly listen to us about our child's routine and thoughtfully adapt it within the nursery's schedule, helping create a smooth and reassuring transition between home and nursery life. They are always friendly, approachable, and willing to discuss anything related to our child, which makes communication open and supportive. The nursery app works very well and is updated daily, and communication through the app is always fast and effective. We are very pleased to be sending our child to Stepping Stone Nursery and would highly recommend it to other parents.

We would highly recommend stepping stones to any parent looking for a supportive and inspiring place for their child.

I was so nervous about putting my child into nursery but when I visited Stepping Stones I was immediately relieved to send my son there. He has been attending for 2 months now and not a single tear, he adores all the staff and they are brilliant at communicating with my parenting needs and wants for my son. I highly recommend this nursery

My son started in November 2025. I have already had to change his days and hours twice and the staff were so accommodating and understanding. I was worried he would cry when I left him but he always smiles at the staff when i drop him off. The team have built a wonderful bond with him so he really enjoys nursery and I feel confident leaving him in the care of such a dedicated team. The communication with parents is great and the daily diaries with photos are wonderful to see.

Stepping stones have been fantastic, as a first time mum I really needed a nursery where I felt my daughter would be cared for in the same way I care for her. From the moment I drop her off the staff are super friendly and attentive. The photos show my daughter has a great time and is always attended to. Emails and questions are always responded to super quickly and they make me feel cared for as well! I cannot recommend them highly enough and am so thankful my daughter gets to grow and develop at this nursery.

My twins joined this nursery at 13 months in September 2025. They have absolutely thrived since starting - the staff are so attentive and they genuinely care about the wellbeing of my children. It is a small and intimate setting so everyone knows all the children really well, and they also benefit from having a key person. They do loads of fun and creative activities every day which help with development as well as taking them on outings. The daily diary updates are so detailed and they are happy to talk to you about any questions you have. So pleased we chose this nursery, our twins get so excited when they see where we have gone to!

My granddaughter has been at Stepping Stones now for a week and I can honestly say she has come on leaps and bounds in that small time! From clapping to waving to standing unaided she is progressing so well. The staff are amazing, all have been lovely, welcoming and you can see a genuine love for the children in their care. I love the blossom app which gives daily updates with photos so you can see first hand at what the children have been getting up to. I would highly recommend Stepping Stones and I would like to thank them for taking great care of my granddaughter!

The team at Stepping Stones are great. The nursery does not overcomplicate things and provides a safe, friendly environment which our child really enjoys. The App works well and general admin is great as the team are very responsive. Highly recommend.

My little girl started nursery at Stepping Stones aged 7 months. I was super nervous sending her so early but the team at Stepping Stones have made it such a happy experience for us both. They're super responsive by email and via the app, I get beautiful detailed photos and updates about her day, and she absolutely adores going there. One look at the gates and she's struggling to get out of my arms and always greets her carers with the biggest smile. And she's still smiling at the end of the day. Honestly I couldn't recommend this place enough.

Overall, I'm pleased my son is in such a wonderful setting and I couldn't ask for more. The management and staff are outstanding.

As a family, we could not be happier with Stepping Stones. There is a clear love and care shown for my son and he has blossomed through the attention he gets from a staff team and small group numbers. The site is small but there are a lot of opportunities and the communication with parents is superb. The highlight, for me, is the chance to see regular photo updates of my son's day and a clear understanding of how he spends his time at the nursery.

Stepping Stones is a great environment for children. The staff are friendly, the place is clean and well-kept. My child comes home each day learning new skills. You are always well informed about your child's day from what they ate to what activities they have been doing. Cannot recommend this nursery enough.

My child has been attending since September and was only 11 months old. I have gone back to work which was daunting. But the manager was really reassuring and made me feel comfortable about leaving her. I can't thank the nursery enough my child has always been happy at drop and collect the staff are great and she has made such progress in her development already. The staff are amazing always happy approachable and I really recommend this nursery.

I am so pleased that I chose the right nursery for my daughter. The staff are friendly and loving towards the children. I was nervous sending my daughter to nursery before she started at Stepping Stones but the app they use is brilliant and provides a lot of reassurance.

My daughter is now in reception and she left Monarchs Childcare with more confidence and more knowledge than I realised! Thank you!

My little one has been at Monarchs now for 2 months and has settled so well, a lot faster than I thought she would (she was 9 months when starting) all the staff are so kind and caring towards her and have made my daughter's transition to nursery so smooth and easy which has made my transition back to work a lot calmer than I had anticipated. The management are amazing and are so supportive, no questions are ever an issue and they respond so quickly, my daughter loves coming to Monarchs and she has already learned so much from crawling to learning how to pull herself up, the setting is well laid out and the activities they set out are amazing (even I would want to play with them) definitely the best setting for us.
