Stepping Stones Nursery

We chose stepping stones because of the friendly and professional staff on our visit and the big, well equipped outdoor area. Our son settled in very quickly and made friends easily. We found the staff to be welcoming and encouraging. Our son thrived at the preschool learning about numbers, letters, countries, cultures and how to share and play in a group. He was always really happy during his time there and came back with great stories of what he had done. We moved out of the area and were sad to leave Stepping Stones.

I have a good rapport with the staff, they are always friendly, courteous and update on the daily activities. The food seems to be healthy, balanced and well thought out, my daughter always eats everything at Stepping Stones. I would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone and I believe that my daughter has a good foundation for going to primary school.

Our second child currently attends pre-school and has attended from eleven months. We also sent our other child to Stepping Stones. Both have enjoyed their time at the nursery and were always happy to go. They have both been encouraged to learn and I think that attending had a positive influence on our oldest child, who is now thriving at primary school. A recent Ofsted report highlighted the teaching in pre-school as strong, and I expect our youngest child to reap the benefits when she attends school. We wouldn't hesitate to send other children to the nursery in the future ... AND our daughter eats food at the nursery that she won't touch at home - cheese for example!

Friendly and warm atmosphere where all staff know my child and have a bond with her. My daughter loves learning and having fun in a stimulating and safe environment.

I couldn't recommend Stepping Stones enough. My eldest has been there for 3 years and my youngest just 6 months. I think it says a lot for the nursery when your child says 'yey nursery today'. All the staff are lovely and since the manager has come on board it's gone from strength to strength. The main things as a parent that I look for is good first aid and safeguarding and that the children all look happy and all the above is more than met. All the women that work at the nursery are brilliant with the children and so caring.

My daughter started in May and she loves it. We still have problems dropping off in the morning but the staff do all they can to calm my daughter down and help her over to breakfast. I don't have any faults regarding the nursery and I would highly recommend to anyone.

My daughter has attended Stepping Stones for over 2 years and we have been very happy with the nursery. The staff go above and beyond and love that the setting is quite homely and they are always keeping you updated on progress. My daughter always comes home having had a good day and looking forward to going again. Only leaving due to relocation otherwise would be staying at Stepping Stones.

Parents are updated daily and termly and the staff are professional, friendly and easy to approach. Would recommend!
