Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcome and reassured. The staff are caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's development and wellbeing.
Our child has grown so much in confidence since starting here. The
activities are creative and engaging, and we love seeing the variety of learning opportunities they provide each week.
Communication with parents is excellent - we're always kept informed about progress, daily activities, and any updates. It gives us real peace of mind knowing our child is in such a safe, nurturing, and positive environment.
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!

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.

My son has attended Stepping Stones Day Nursery since September 2024. I've found the management and staff to be warm, friendly and caring. My son has settled in well and it's lovely to hear about his day and all the activities he's been up to which there are lots, both indoors and outdoors.
Communication
with parents is great both in person and via the app/emails. I receive daily updates with photos on my child's day which is both reassuring and I can see his learning/development.
Meals are included providing a varied menu.
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.

We as parents cannot recommend Stepping Stones enough. We have been sending our eldest here for 2 years and our youngest for 4 months. The leadership from the manager and all the other workers is fantastic. We have excellent communication through face-to-face, an app for daily updates and messages and
always happy for a chat on the phone. There is a monthly theme where the children learn different aspects and we are always told ahead of time. Lots of the activities are also child-led. Food - excellent menu. My youngest has a dairy allergy and we have had no slip-ups, lots of communication on other options sent to us so he doesn't feel left out from his friends. They play outside daily - outside has had a revamp and is looking great! They complete activities outside - anything from writing, painting or a sports day and regularly visit the local parks, feed the ducks or go to the shops to choose their snack! The care they receive is wonderful. Thank you.

I can't praise Stepping Stones enough. The care and support provided by every member of staff towards my daughter and my family is outstanding. My daughter loves attending Stepping Stones and doesn't even wave goodbye most mornings as she's keen to have a cuddle from staff members or play with her friends.
In addition to the outstanding care provided to my daughter, the staff are always on hand to offer guidance to parents when asked for it. The environment at Stepping Stones really is like an extended family.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Stepping Stones Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.880 for Stepping Stones Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (268 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.88
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Stepping Stones Day Nursery is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 35 number of registered child places is 7, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
