5.0 out of 5
My child has attended this nursery since she was 10 months old, she is now 33 months and of the 3 nurseries she attends (countryside living problems!) stepping stones offer the most. The children are regularly taken on little trips to the park/to feed the ducks/to the library. There is an on-site kitchen,
that has catered well for my child's gluten-free spell. The outside space is well equipped for all sorts of fun play as is the inside, with the displays being regularly updated. The app and verbal updates from staff are always warm and informative. After a positive change in ownership, the nursery had a tough spell with ill-fitting managers for a few months. However, the current manager is excellent with my ideal wishlist for a manager, with equal parts 'loving mum' and educator.

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:
- 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.873 for Stepping Stones Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (223 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.873
-
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 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
- 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
- 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 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1
- When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
- If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
