On the hard mornings when I am taking 2 tired toddlers into nursery, the staff are always so understanding and kind - I really appreciate it! I definitely recommend Stepping Stones, it is a brilliant, friendly, welcoming place and I have always felt comfortable taking my children there.

We're so pleased to hear how happy your children have been with us from such a young age, and that they feel excited to come into nursery each day. Supporting children as they grow and reach...
Our baby started nursery at 10 months. I was impressed from the start - the settling in sessions, the key worker, the facilities have all been great. My baby had some challenges with feeding from a bottle to begin with, but all the staff persevered, and her key worker in particular has been fantastic. Communication is good, and I feel happy and confident dropping my baby off each time. She was sad to start with, but after a couple of months there are no tears and she seems to have a lovely time. I really enjoy seeing the observations on the app and feel like my baby is in safe hands. The food seems great, lots of variety too. Would recommend Stepping Stones :)

The staff are always friendly and helpful, providing detailed feedback about my children's day at every pickup. This information is supplemented with an app which the staff add photos and activity update to.In each of the age specific rooms my children are welcomed warmly and are excited to start their day.
As the year progresses new activities and themes are introduced which allows structured play to take place. The availability of outdoor space is great and having a range of different surfaces means the outdoor space can be used all year round.
Overall I'm very happy with the nursery and will continue sending my children there till they are of school age.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We're delighted to hear that you rate the nursery so highly and that all three of your children continue to enjoy their time with us.

Hi, I’m Laura. I have worked across all areas of the nursery, progressing from Room Leader to Deputy Manager before becoming Nursery Manager. This experience has given me a strong understanding of children’s development and daily nursery life.
I am passionate about creating a welcoming environment where children, families and staff all feel valued, and I love seeing children engaged in the rich learning opportunities throughout the nursery.
Outside of nursery life, I live locally with my husband and our two boys. As a family, we share a love of Disney, and I also enjoy playing in a brass band, something I have done since the age of 11.
I would love to welcome you to our nursery and show you around, so you can experience our warm and nurturing environment for yourself.
Hi, I’m Hayley. My passion for early years began when I was young, babysitting for friends and family. I studied at Okehampton College Sixth Form, where I gained my Level 2 qualification, before joining Stepping Stones and completing my Level 3.
I have worked across many areas of the nursery, progressing through roles including Team Leader and Assistant Manager before becoming Nursery Manager and SENDCo. This experience has given me a strong understanding of supporting both children and families at every stage.
I am passionate about helping children grow in confidence, develop new skills and build a love of learning, while also supporting our staff team to achieve their goals.
Outside of nursery life, I live with my husband and our two boys, and as a family we enjoy spending time together watching and supporting football.
