Review from Aimee W (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Sean W (Father of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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

Overall Experience

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.

Review from N L (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son absolutely loves nursery, he has come on leaps and bounds. He has been going for taster sessions to move into the toddler room, which he loves.
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

Review from Leanne T (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Review from James R (Father of Child) published on 25 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Sarah B (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I'm SO glad I enrolled my daughter into Stepping Stones Worsley; I don't have a bad word to say.
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!

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.

Overall Experience

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

My son only started this month and from the start the staff have been fantastic. Always very informative at the end of each session, supporting with his development and needs and making transition to nursery as smooth as possible.

Communication is the key and I feel Stepping Stones excel in this both verbally and electronically.

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!

Review from Fiona R (Mother of Child) published on 14 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending Stepping Stones in Boothstown for 3 years. He has developed in many ways due to the staff supporting him.
He initially struggled with his speech development and they have created individual activities to help him and liaised with outside agencies and invited them to the nursery.

He is now thriving in his speech and from this his confidence in interacting with staff and peers is clear. Our son has started to inform us about his activities at nursery and has been so enthusiastic about the activity that he has gained an understanding of the body that we have continued with this learning with new books from home. This shows how creative and stimulating the activity sessions are and my son has gained more vocabulary and an understanding of science at a young age. The staff commented on how his confidence has grown and that he is aware of his interests and needs. All of his learning at Stepping Stones will prepare him for reception at school.

Review from S V (Mother of Child) published on 14 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We love Stepping Stones. Our youngest is now attending after our oldest attended for two years. It was a no-brainer to send our youngest. The staff are fantastic. They take time to know every child as an individual; their likes and dislikes. We get feedback on what our child has been up to each day, including how they ate and slept, and we can see what a great influence the staff and environment are having. They have plenty of activities to help the children learn, including lovely outdoor spaces.
The staff prepared my oldest for reception at primary school really well and she started school strong.

Both our children have thrived at Stepping Stones and we'd recommend it to anyone.
