Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Gomersal

We are glad we chose Stepping Stones for our daughter!

My daughter attended this nursery 4 years ago and so when I had my son it was the first place to revisit when thinking about childcare. The staff provide you with confidence that your child is being looked after by warm and caring individuals, almost like they are extended family. Children are provided with lots of opportunities to explore learning through play which is fun and interactive and grow in independence too. Staff work with parents to support the changes in development that the children go through. My son absolutely loves attending nursery which makes me as a parent feel happier knowing he is safe, cared for and having fun whilst we’re at work.

From September 2023 my son has been attending Stepping Stones and from visiting to see the nursery I knew it was the one. The staff were so welcoming and being able to speak to the manager straight away was a big bonus. My son had previously struggled with change, but not at Stepping Stones. It’s like home from home for us and that makes me feel at ease. He’s encouraged to do things that he loves and learning is developed around that and he’s supported to be the best he can be. Massive thank you.

My son just about to leave Stepping Stones to go to school and my eldest son also attended here from being twelve months old to leaving school. The staff at Stepping Stones are the absolute best, they love and care for all the children and it really shows. Both my boys have had so much fun there, the staff keep us informed of activities done that day and meals they’ve had. The staff go above and beyond taking the children out on local visits and fun nursery trips. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I've had two children that have both attended Stepping Stones, one leaving in 2021 and the youngest just leaving in 2023. Staff have always been welcoming and friendly and have always been encouraging and supportive in both children's interests and abilities. Both children have always enjoyed their time at nursery and still fondly talk about their time at nursery.

Stepping Stones is such a wonderful nursery and has made my return to work so much easier knowing that my child is cared for so well. They create a nurturing and fun environment and really care about each child. This is my third child who has attended Stepping Stones and each time I have been thrilled with the care they have received.

My daughter has been going since she was 9 months old (now nearly 3) and my youngest started at 8 months (now 11 months). Both children have loved the nursery and are happy to go over to the lovely staff members who greet them each morning. There is a real mix of experience and personalities within the staff and I think this really helps the children feel at home. I like the responsibility they allow the children to take from a young age and feel the daily roles and routines really help their development. The daily play activities are varied and engaging for the children, I think the outdoors activities such as climbing and balancing really help their physical development. I really appreciate that families are invited into the nursery for play and stays and special events such as Christmas and the sports day, and I think the children really value this too.

Our daughter has been attending the nursery for two and one-twelfth years and has come on leaps and bounds. She thoroughly enjoys going to nursery so much it’s hard to get her to leave. She has so much love for the staff, who in turn also care for her needs. We couldn’t ask for a better place for our daughter and her Henry bear.

After numerous recommendations we came to view Stepping Stones back in 2020 and we never went to view any other nurseries as we were so impressed. My first child has now graduated, but my youngest little boy still attends and he absolutely adores going to nursery and all the staff. Both of my boys suffer with allergies and eczema and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after my boys. They go above and beyond to ensure they’re included, and have meals as close as they can to the others so they don’t feel left out. They are also amazing at involving families, they do numerous stay and play sessions, tea parties and trips where close family members are able to join and they’re always brilliantly organised, and really fun. I’d recommend Stepping Stones to anyone looking for a nursery, my boys have come on leaps and bounds whilst attending and I can’t thank the team enough.

An absolutely fantastic nursery. Both my children attended and still attend Stepping Stones, my nephews also attended and I recommend the nursery for anyone looking for childcare. My youngest started out in the baby room at just 1 year old and is currently in pre-school and absolutely loves coming to nursery. All the staff are amazing always on hand to answer any questions, always smiling and welcoming. The children do so much during their day and go out into the community as often as they can. The nursery manager will accommodate any requirements as best she can. The staff have very close relationships with all the children and not just their key children. Sad this is our last year with Stepping Stones but so happy my children had such a fantastic nursery to attend.

I feel totally at ease that my child will not just be safe and well cared for but that their developmental needs are well met; over and beyond our expectations. The team are so creative in the activities on offer and they offer a home-from-home environment allowing children the opportunity to go out on regular trips from nursery and take risks (in a safe and well-managed way). I feel the staff at Stepping Stones Gomersal are down-to-earth, personable and professional. I have total confidence in the management and leadership of the nursery and my usual parent worries about managing the stages of my little boy's behaviour have always been met with understanding, reassurance, and strategies for managing this when I have asked for this. I would highly recommend this setting to any parent looking at nurseries for their precious babies or toddlers.

We absolutely love this nursery. Each morning every staff member is happy to see you. They’re so smiley and welcoming that you’re immediately put at ease. The care of the children is impeccable, the daily activities are so creative and educational, along with the seasonal activities. The food is amazing and it’s so helpful getting a daily diary to know what has been eaten and how much. I can’t thank the staff enough for their care of our child, and we really appreciate the opportunity to be part of some of the activities, such as sports day, Christmas show etc. Thank you all again so much.

My 2 children both attend nursery with my little boy going for nearly 2 years and my daughter starting a few weeks ago. They both love spending time in nursery and they have both flourished especially my little boy. The staff have always been kind and helpful whenever I have had queries. Would definitley recommend.

Thank you so much for being so amazing and making nursery life a breeze.

The leadership and management are excellent and that is clear to see to parents as they are very visible within the nursery. Thank you stepping Stones for caring for our son.

I would highly recommend Stepping Stones!

My son has really settled into nursery since starting in April 2023. At first he was a little unsure, however, the team have worked really hard to ensure he is happy and settled! Every time we pick him up we are given a detailed account of his day. I can tell my son has really taken to his key worker! All the team are friendly and even the staff that work in other parts of the nursery know my son's name which is really nice.

Fantastic nursery with great staff. Our child loves going and was made to feel welcome from day one. The staff are all very patient and knowledgeable when it comes to the development of the children. It is always a very happy and welcoming atmosphere to walk into at pick up time. Thank you to all the staff in the baby room for taking care of our little man.

The standard of care and the activities and fun he has are all I could want for him and more in a nursery. From speaking to friends with children at other establishments, I know that they're well above the standard. The staff have also been phenomenal and great help with any support we've needed, and I'm so grateful. If I had my time again, I'd absolutely go to Stepping Stones for my son's childcare. He's a smart, sensitive and happy boy, and I'm certain that Stepping Stones has actively contributed to his development.

They truly are the best and we are really going to miss them all.
