Our daughter moved here from another nursery. They have done a brilliant job of integrating her with the other kids. The staff work really hard to do fun and educational activities, and our daughter particularly loves being taken out on trips to the park or shops and being involved in food prep/cooking. They have managed to get her school ready in only a few months, and we are so grateful!
Thank you so much for your kind review. It is so good to hear, that your daughter has settled into Stepping stones so quickly and how comfortable she is here, with the staff and children. It is always a hard decision moving your child between settings and we understand how worrying this can be for a parent. Thank you for choosing us and trusting your daughters care with us

Absolutely love the team at Stepping Stones nursery. The entire team is so amazing and caring towards my son. I am very reassured to leave my child under their care. We have seen him grow up with great fondness of the staff members there. Although my son is a fussy eater, the team there always ensures that he is preferences/patterns, thus he eats quite well at nursery. Thank you stepping stones team
Thank you so much for your review. It is so nice to hear the confidence that you have in our nursery team and the bonds that they have made with your son. We understand how important it is to create these attachments and staff interaction and relationships with children and families is paramount to us

We have seen the positive developments in him and it's so reassuring for a parent to know that their child is well taken care of while they are at work. He eats well and is growing well under their care.
We are so thankful to all the staff for their support and bond.
Thank you so much for your review. It is lovely to hear that you feel confident in the care that your son is receiving and the development that he is making

We're incredibly happy with the nursery and the care our son receives. The staff in babies (and throughout the nursery) are warm, attentive, and clearly dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for the children. It's wonderful to see how much he enjoys going each day and how much he's learning and developing. Communication with parents is always clear and reassuring, which gives us great peace of mind. We truly appreciate all the hard work the team puts in and would highly recommend the nursery to other families.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, We are so glad that you are happy with the care your son receives at Stepping Stones and thank you for your ongoing support
Amazing staff and excellent facilities. Really happy with the progress my daughter has shown over the years. The teachers at the Nursery are very professional, can't thank them enough. Highly recommended!

My son absolutely loves going to nursery as soon as he gets through the door he puts his hands up to be picked up by the practitioner working at the time whoever they are which shows the great relationship he has formed with each of the staff members. He has developed so much since being there whether that's been learning new words or practising motor skills. What's really useful Is that the nursery send regular updates via the app and we can send them to so that there's a complete picture of his development and his learning can be supplemented at nursery hand at home. He's not even two yet and we are already going to our second parents evening, which I think showcases the level of care and detail they go into. We chose this nursery because they clearly have a plan that they articulate as to how they support young children to develop in a structured way whilst also giving the child the space and freedom to be a curious young mind.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We are so glad that you chose Stepping Stones and we will continue to give you thorough and timely feedback regarding your child's development. If you ever have any questions about this, then please do not hesitate to ask

We are so happy with this nursery. We couldn't ask for nicer staff who we really feel genuinely care for our child and want the best for her. From day one, we have felt so welcomed and there is always someone to help with anything and answer our questions. It's like we are part of a family. Since starting this nursery, our little one has really flourished and thrived, developing in all areas amazingly well. That is thanks the dedicated staff.
The staff are so welcoming and accommodating from the first good morning, saying goodbye at the end of the day.

The staff are so welcoming and accommodating from the first good morning, saying goodbye at the end of the day.
My son has loved the taster sessions so much he's not wanted to go back into the baby room so the girls have let him stay in the toddler room and he's enjoyed it so much. (He was due to move in March). I can't speak highly of the nursery enough. This is my first child and you can sometimes hear things on the news about nurseries but I have never had any worries and I know my child is in a safe and happy place!
Thank you we think you're brilliant! X
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We know how hard it can be leaving your child in someone else's care and we are so pleased that you feel you can trust the nursery and the team. Transitions can also be a daunting time and its great that this has been a positive experience for you and you child. Thank you for all of your support
Everyone at Stepping Stones is just wonderful. All the staff go above and beyond ensuring we know our child is being well looked after, educated, and has lots of fun! Our son loves going to nursery in the morning and is certainly fed well (the food smells amazing!).

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I am so glad you decided to bring your second child to Stepping Stones also
Going back to work has been a lot easier knowing that my little boy loves attending nursery so much. They always plan just fun things to do and he is a big fan of all the food he gets. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond to make sure he has an amazing day everyday.

I couldn't be happier with my decision to enrol my son at Stepping Stones Worsley. From day one, the experience has been nothing short of fantastic.
The team are truly exceptional - warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. It's so lovely how they know every single child by name, even those who aren't in their group yet!
Since joining, my son has grown so much - both socially and developmentally. I often get comments on how confident, and vocal he is, and I know that's a reflection of the nurturing environment and amazing care he receives every day at nursery.Thank you to the entire Stepping Stones Worsley team. You go above and beyond, and it truly shows. You're making a real difference!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so happy that you have had a great start to your nursery journey

My Son goes to Stepping Stones currently and all my children have also gone through nursery there through to pre-school (2 girls and 1 boy). We have loved every step of our journey with the manager and the team and we'll be very sad in the future when we won't be going through the nursery doors. My son currently is in pre-school and he loves it. He's been slightly delayed with his speech development but management and the team have gone above and beyond to keep us informed and help us to work with them at home to help my son flourish. He's come on leaps and bounds and he happily walks into pre-school. Every-time we pick him up the smile on his face is from ear to ear. Stepping Stones Worsley is not just a nursery, the manager has continued to make it feel like you are part of a big family and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone in the area. A real asset to Boothstown.
Thank you so much for your lovely review :) We are so lucky that we have been able to watch all three of your children grow and learn through Stepping Stones. Thank you for your ongoing support and i am so glad that you are happy with your exprienece

The staff are all absolutely wonderful and I love how they all know every child's name, even if they aren't in their class yet! (Some even remember my name which is above and beyond!).
My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Stepping Stones and I always get compliments on her behaviour, development and social skills (I wish I could take full credit myself, but that would be discrediting the incredible work everyone at nursery does!).
My daughter is quite hit and miss with food (as in quantities that she will eat, she generally eats all foods), but she loves the chefs freshly made food; and with a 5* hygiene rating, what could be better?!
I could go on and on with everything I love, but I'm running out of characters.
So I will end by saying thank you to each and every member of staff. Your hard work and dedication doesn't go unnoticed. You're all amazing!
Thank you so much for your amazing review. I am so glad that you are happy with the care you are receiving from nursery and that the staff team have made an impact. We appreciate all of your comments and the support

Both of my children started at this nursery after already attending a different nursery, they both settled in so well and developed such good relationships with the staff over the last 6 months. I'm really pleased with my children's routines here at stepping stones and all the activities they get up to. The staff are so warm and welcoming and nothings ever to much trouble.
Thank you so much your review. I am so glad that you are happy with the care and education the children are receiving at Stepping Stones. Thank you for your support.
My daughter absolutely loves her time at nursery which speaks volumes to us, she's always excited to tell us what she's been up to in her day and what she's been learning, and often talks about the staff even on a weekend which shows the bonds she has with all of the staff throughout the nursery....
My daughter absolutely loves her time at nursery which speaks volumes to us, she's always excited to tell us what she's been up to in her day and what she's been learning, and often talks about the staff even on a weekend which shows the bonds she has with all of the staff throughout the nursery. The staff all go above and beyond to meet each child's individual needs and are so supportive and informative to parents. The various learning opportunities, fun, meals and outdoor activities are amazing and more importantly the children always seem so happy and content in nursery. We are so pleased that we chose Stepping Stones and have had the best experience

Communication is the key and I feel Stepping Stones excel in this both verbally and electronically.
Thank you so much for your review. It is great to hear that Stepping Stones has had a positive first impression for you. You are right, communication is the key and we are happy that we have been able to provide that for you. Thank you for your support and I hope that you continue to have a positive experience with us going forward.
We are still new at the nursery having joined this February 2025. Our son is enjoying his stay at the nursery. The employees are friendly and welcoming. I like the creativity I have experienced so far. I also like the flow of communication so far.

We've been very happy with our experience of Stepping Stones Day Nursery so far. We are very impressed with the variety of activities they put on for the children and the huge number of toys and games they have to play with. Our daughter seems to really love it there and we feel this is because the staff really make a huge effort to make her feel not just comfortable but actually cared for and loved. We would strongly recommend this nursery to anyone in the area looking to send their child to a trustworthy, caring and fun environment where they can grow and thrive!
Friendly and helpful staff, excellent with the children, they take the time to know each child and really understand them and develop close bonds with them. Always a thorough run through the day when we pick them up and advise of anything we might need to know about their day.

Hi, I’m Paula.

Along the way, I’ve proudly completed my childcare qualifications, building a strong foundation of knowledge and experience.
