Day Nurseries Owned by YMCA Dulverton Group in North Somerset

The Pottingshed is an excellent nursery, both my children absolutely love the facilities and more importantly the staff.

Everyday i hear my children talk about activities with their friends, what they've learnt and how excited they are to go again!

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about supporting the children's development. Our son has grown so much in confidence and loves going every day. The environment is warm, safe, and welcoming - we truly feel lucky to have found such a wonderful place.

We're so happy we chose Stepping Stones!

my boy was unsure of nursery but Stepping stones has made my son happy to come in , he loves it here , and so did his other siblings when attended, The staff are so lovely and really puts all there time in to the children

A fantastic nursery and pre-school with caring and attentive staff, varied food, excellent communication with parents, all in a beautiful woodland setting which the children frequently explore all year round.

I like the nursery very much as it has many activities and it's great for the children to learn motor skills, life skills and starting their learning for primary School. The nursery does focus week on each child so no one ever feels left out which I think it is important for a child's development.

He now looks forward to nursery. He has made friends who he talks about at home and really enjoys spending so much time outside exploring. We are no longer on a nurture plan and this is all due to the hard work and dedication from all the staff at Barley wood. Would highly recommend to any parent considering a nursery setting for their child.

Our child likes going to Stepping Stones. They have made some great friends and comes home able to tell us what they have done for the day. They go to the early and late wrap around which works really well for us and our child. Recently they have been doing lots of seasonal things and performed Christmas songs for parents, which our child loved doing. My wife was able to go but I wasn't, however videos were put up on the app for us to see which way really nice.

Really love this preschool, my son has only attended since November but he has come on leaps and bounds and is so much more confident. He is excited to go in every day and is excited to tell me everything he has been doing when I pick him up. All of the staff are so friendly and wonderful. It really is a lovely place and I'm so happy for my son to be going there.

My little boy has been going here since last September and we love it. The staff are amazing, all of them are attentive, kind and patient. Information sharing is amazing, we get so much information about his day, both at the gate and through the communication app. Activities seem varied, including lots of outdoor play, scavenger hunting, sports and exploring. Indoor play often includes structured learning like numbers, letters, and healthy foods. I like the support with teeth cleaning at the moment. But also lots of fun, with dancing and music. We love it, can stress enough how kind and supportive the staff are.

Both my children have really thrived here over the years and we are so happy to have found it

Since coming back from Christmas break our daughter has settled back in and is loving her time! The activities and fun they have makes not being with her easier to cope with! The team are amazing and I'm so grateful to them for their care and the fun they provide!!

The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, always supporting her development while allowing her to discover at her own pace. It's amazing to watch her curiosity, confidence, and joy grow so quickly. We feel so grateful for the loving and inspiring environment Barley Wood provides for our little one.

My son has been with stepping stones since November and he's development has come on incredible amounts. The staff are all so lovely and welcoming, I couldn't of placed my son in a better pre school and my second son will definitely be attending here in the future too :)

High quality nursery. Great facilities, lovely staff and my son always comes home happy! Its safe and learning enriching. He loves his routine and sharing with others. I would highly recommend to everyone.

Our son has excelled in Stepping Stones Nursery he has made so many friends, his speech has continued to grow exponentially whilst he has been going to nursery his confidence is sky high and we feel he is safe and in a lovely environment when he is there. Very happy.

My son is always excited to go to pre-school! And they have such lovely staff, and great activities for the children to do! The only gripe I have is the fact we can't choose to have packed lunch, would be nice for the option as sometimes I can see where my child has hardly eaten anything as he's not keen on it, where if he'd had lunch that day he would have eaten more!

My daughter has struggled to settle having transitioned from another nursery and the staff have been great at trying to help her settle and make friends. Also have a friendly greeting at any handover.

We're really happy with the care our two toddlers receive at this nursery. The staff are kind, patient, and clearly care about the children. Both of our toddlers have settled in so well and are always happy to go in, which says a lot. There's a great range of activities each day, and we've noticed real progress in their confidence, communication, and social skills. The nursery feels safe, welcoming, and well organised, and the staff keep us well informed. We feel very comfortable leaving our children here and would happily recommend the nursery to other parents.

Additionally they were able to support daughter number two with her 1:1 medical needs to a high standard, with excellent communication and dedication to all the training required.
