I could not ask for more from a nursery. My son has been here for almost 3 years and loves it. It feels like dropping my child with family. All the staff are great. My son has been brought on so much at this nursery - he's always had a fantastic time.
Fantastic staff. My son settled in very well. Always happy to help and listen.
Excellent nursery with polite staff who always inform you with as much detail as possible as to what your child has been doing on the day at nursery. I would recommend the nursery to other parents and will be bringing my younger boy when he turns two. I have a six-year-old who also attended here and for that reason, I brought my two-year-old. This nursery brings out the best in my children.
Early Steps at Stockbridge are fantastic. My grandson is doing well and is very happy - that's all credit to their continued support in school with what we do at home. The staff are amazing, very easy to talk to and always have a smile.
My child is extremely happy and settled. She also would love to go during the school holidays. She likes playing inside and out, and loves her meal times. The staff are extremely helpful and would go beyond their duty to assist in any way with us.
Really happy with my daughter's progress, she has been going since February 2017. All staff are lovely and friendly and I haven't got any faults. My daughter seems happy so that makes me happy knowing she is comfortable with the staff.
The love and care my children receives their has developed their confidence and is helping them to develop their fantastic personality!
I would highly recommend this nursery lovely place and lovely people.
My son began here when he was 6 months old. As a wary parent, the staff made me and my husband feel completely settled with our choice. Staff are friendly, reliable and create a fantastic supportive relationship with the children. They know the children very well and I always enjoy hearing what my son has been upto at the end of the day.
The nursery is always very clean and notices are always clear to see and we are always informed of any information that is necessary. Children get to go outside in all weathers which I think is absolutely great.
Fantastic nursery, I wouldn't want my son to go anywhere else.
A great nursery which we have been using for the last year. My little girl loves being there - she does lots of varying activities every day and always comes home happy. In fact she generally can't wait to get there in the morning. She loves the staff and I feel very happy in the knowledge that she is being looked after brilliantly by them all.
We are very happy with the care our little girl receives at this nursery. She is happy to be there, knows the staff well, and is always encouraged to learn. The staff is enthusiastic and caring. Very pleased and we would highly recommend!!
My daughter has been attending Early Steps Nursery since November 2014 and I can honestly say that every single member of the staff are fantastic and they dote on all the children that go there. My daughter loves her nursery days and often when I go to pick her up she doesn't want to leave. I would highly recommend this nursery.
A little boy that I foster started attending here in September 2014 and still attends now. He has always been a clingy boy when he goes but the staff are great and give him lots of support when I leave him. He soon settles when I have gone and has a great time while there with his friends and different activities that they do with him and all the other children. The manager is also very good with foster children and is always willing to fill in reports if need be. Once there my little boys does enjoy going to nursery.
Both of my children have attended this nursery. The staff are fantastic and the nursery provides a nurturing environment for children to develop. My youngest was 6 months when she started, I felt safe leaving her with the specialised staff in the baby room. She is now potty training and the staff in the toddler room have been great in assisting us train her. I would certainly recommend this nursery to anyone in the surrounding area.
This nursery has made my return to work as bearable as possible. I feel very comfortable leaving my daughter here, the staff are friendly and understanding. I particularly like the communication with parents by different means, such as in writing ,emails and Facebook. My daughter absolutely loves the nursery and has developed lots both physically and socially since joining 2 months ago. I am very grateful for this.
This is a really good nursery, my baby loves it here and gets excited every morning getting her coat and bag ready to go, she gets loads of attention here and only cried when I left her the 1st couple of days, now she goes straight to the staff, only thing she doesn't like is sharing the staff with the other children lol which shows how comfortable she feels there :-)

Meet the Team (1)
I joined Early STEPS Nursery in 2007 as a Senior Nursery Nurse. As the Nursery expanded I was promoted to Deputy Manager, and was based in the two year old room. In 2010 I began managing the Nursery.
The staff team at Early STEPS Nursery are a pleasure to work with, they put the children first and care about all the children and families in our care. I am very proud of Early STEP's Nursery, and how well the children are prepared for their next steps in education from their time spent with us.
