Day Nurseries Owned by Step Start Nurseries

Our toddler has been attending StepStart since October 2025, and we could not be more pleased with the team, the environment and how well our son is looked after. He struggled to settle at first but the team in his room were SO supportive, responsive and did everything they could to get him used to this new environment. After just a month or two, he was like a different child and is now so so happy there, has made lovely friends, has such a good relationship with the teachers in his room and is learning new skills rapidly. He also has a dairy and soy allergy and I cannot fault the nursery for how well they handle it. We could not ask for a better nursery and feel so lucky to have found one we love so much.

My daughter started at the step start in April and the transition has been incredible. Drop offs were very emotional, but her room leader knew exactly what to do to win her over! I have to make a special mention to her room leader because she quickly became my daughter's favourite person and the relationship they have is really special. But every staff member in her room is so attentive and she just adores them all. The communication from the nursery as a whole is amazing and I never have to worry. She always comes home smiling from ear to ear.

We moved our son to Step Start in November and we couldn't be happier of the care he receives. He had a lot of medical issues and the nursery always administer this ontime. He LOVES coming in and seeing his teachers. They treat him with exceptional care, making sure he's clean. We get daily observations so we know what areas he needs to focus on so we can support this at home. We are so happy with the care he receives and couldn't fault the staff enough! Thank you!!

Step Start fyfield has been amazing. I have children in 2 different rooms. We had a rocky start but since they started a little less than a year ago both my children have come such a long way. They are both a lot more confident and my eldest can bow dress and undress herself. She's also able to write her own name with a little help. If we have any concerns or questions any of the staff members are more than happy to help or they work with you to help change or fix any of these concerns. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

My son has attended this nursery since he was 10 months old and is now 3, and I honestly cannot fault it. The staff are absolutely amazing and create such a warm, personal environment where every child is truly known and cared for. The routine and structure they follow are brilliant, and even breakfast feels like a mini all-inclusive hotel experience!

They have played such a huge part in my son's development. His manners are excellent because they consistently encourage kindness, politeness, and independence. They don't just "watch" the children - they genuinely teach them and prepare them for school in every aspect, from getting dressed and putting coats on to lining up and following routines.

We receive regular updates, photos, and detailed recaps of his day, which is so reassuring when you're away from your child. The staff are always approachable and on hand with advice and support. My son is far beyond where I expected him to be at this age, and I truly believe that is down to t

Step Start has been so wonderful with Tommy's transition to nursery, they always go the extra mile to learn every child's individual needs. The staff are amazing and friendly, I feel as though they treat Tommy like family. Cannot recommend enough!

We are so happy with the progress our daughter has made since joining the nursery, and it has only been 3 months . Her learning and confidence have developed so much, and it's been wonderful to see.

The staff are always kind, caring, and welcoming - they truly make you feel at home. It's reassuring to know she is in such a warm and supportive environment every day.

I cannot wait to watch her journey at the Nursery.

All the staff are amazing and go above and beyond my expectations. My daughter is thriving and it's all thanks to them. I literally don't know where I'd be without them. From management to classroom teachers- everyone is exceptional!

Our daughter moved to Step Start from another nursery she was very happy at so we were understandably anxious, however she has settled in so well and always has a good day at nursery. We love seeing photos through the app of what she has been up to, the nursery organises lots of fun and educational activities throughout the day. The staff are very kind and caring with great communication. We would definitely recommend Step Start

Both my children have attended this nursery since December and they always seem to have had a really good day and come out smiley and happy. The staff are always quick to update me if they need to inform me of anything (via the app or phone call if necessary). My eldest child has been going through some medical issues and the nursery have been fantastic with trying to accommodate her to make her feel more included and to help encourage her development. The SEN team have been brilliant and are extremely knowledgeable which gives me some peace of mind whilst my daughter is at nursery. There are sometimes quite long wait times when dropping off and picking up the children (I'm sure a better system could be put in place) but I understand it's a busy nursery and the staff do always apologise when the wait has been really long. Overall we have had a great experience of this nursery.

We moved our 2 year old from another nursery to Witham Step Start in September last year. The whole settling in/onboard process was brilliant, fee structure was clear with no hidden costs. The staff did a wonderful job of helping our child transition and settle. Very impressed with the service that the nursery has provided - it's a very well managed nursery with an excellent set up. The staff are fantastic with the children, the communication throughout the day is brilliant and you get to drop off and pick up from the rooms which gives a great feeling of trust/transparency. The rooms are always cleaned to a high standard, and set up for the following day with activity tables. The outdoor space is nice, and they seem to spend a decent amount of time outside. Staff really care and support when your child isn't feeling 100%, and listen and work hard to help with development. Managers are attentive and respond very quickly- systems and procedures are well managed. Highly recommended!

Our daughter started at Step Start Witham in September 2025. She really enjoys going and the staff really care for her. They provide a safe environment and always look out for her wellbeing. They provide regular updates on how she is doing and what she has been learning.

We've seen such beautiful growth in him since joining Step Start, and we're so grateful for the positive, caring, and happy environment surrounding him every day

We honestly couldn't be happier with Step Start Witham. From the very beginning, the staff have been absolutely amazing and the level of care they provide is exceptional. As an anxious mum, leaving my little boy was something I found really difficult, but the team made me feel completely at ease from day one.

Every member of staff is so kind, caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and development. My little boy absolutely loves going in, which says everything. The communication is fantastic, the environment is warm and welcoming, and it's so reassuring knowing he is happy, safe, and so well looked after.

I truly couldn't fault this nursery at all and I'm so grateful for everything they do. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, nurturing, and supportive environment for their child.

Very happy with the care and development that this nursery provides. Daughter is extremely happy there, and as parents we have had no complaints about anything! The practicalities of the building are a little difficult sometimes, navigating prams in narrow corridors, and there is no official pram store. However these are such minor issues when everything else at the nursery is so brilliant. The staff are wonderful and the facilities are great.

We have had a wonderful experience at Step Start Witham. The staff are so friendly and give us updates throughout the day and then a handover when we pick our child up. The food is fresh and has a lot of variety which is perfect for our child. They cater to our child's needs and are very adaptable, what might work for one child might not work for another so they do their best to accommodate. The facilities at Step Start are amazing, the rooms are so spacious and the outdoor area is lovely, it gives a very homely feel and we couldn't ask for better. We get updates of our child's learning and any observations the nursery staff have and these are all updated on the app so we can see what they've been up to and how they're learning and developing.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for 7 months now and has really settled in well thanks to the warm and caring staff who take such good care of her every day. They have done a great job at keeping me informed of my daughter's progress and are quick to notice if she isn't her usual self and needs extra care. They also do a great job of including parents by doing small events for things like Easter and Mothers Day. I am so happy that we chose this nursery and my daughter loves coming here day in day out!

We've never had any problems and would definitely recommend this nursery.

We honestly couldn't be happier with this nursery. I have a 3 year old in Big Steps and a 1 year old in First Steps, and the care they both receive is amazing.

Every single member of staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They've created such a nurturing and fun environment where both of my children have grown in confidence and developed so much. The activities they create are engaging, educational, and tailored to each age group.

In Big Steps, the school readiness programme is fantastic. It's really helped my daughter build independence, confidence, and key early learning skills in a really enjoyable way. She starts school in 2027 and I'm so pleased she has another year of this before she starts!

I always feel reassured that my children are safe, happy, and well looked after. A truly amazing nursery! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone!

The cost of nursery is very expensive, however I think this is more of a country wide issue, rather than a Step Start one.
