Step by Step Private Nursery Maryhill

Great experience with this nursery, my daughter attends and each time she is happy coming out and going in, the girls are friendly and reassuring. The place is clean, with Covid going on I can’t get fully in but always happy with how my daughter is cared for by her key worker and other staff, they always take time at the end of the night to speak to me and tell me how my daughter's day has been.

My daughter has just started with Step by Step and I am thoroughly pleased with how well she has settled. I was extremely anxious about settling her due to her having a tough time settling in a different nursery but I honestly couldn’t be happier with her progress. All staff are positive and happy and this has ensured a smooth settling period and drop-offs are worry free. My daughter is happy to go to the staff and has an amazing day when she is in their care. Would highly recommend this nursery, they are doing a great job!

My son has been at the nursery for three years. I have been really happy with the care he receives, all the staff are a pleasure to deal with, my son loves going every day and asks to go at the weekends, think that says it all.

There is no garden but a backyard, also the building requires some improvements. But the care/attention my daughter gets is more important than a historical building or lawned gardens. All the staff are very attentive and know and care about my daughter a lot. They do a lot of outdoor time. They also have forest school and music/dance sessions as well as swimming lessons. My daughter is very happy and so are we.

Fantastic nursery with a nurturing and caring environment for the children. It has really supported my child's development.

When I visited Step by Step I was really impressed by the staff who seemed really competent and enthusiastic. Now my daughter has been there for three months. I can see that my impressions were right. The level of learning and care is very high. The activities are really relevant and highly creative. I just need to add that unfortunately, the food provided is poor in nutritional qualities - high in starch and carbohydrates, lacking vegetables, pulses and high-quality cereals and grains.

I find the staff extremely professional, even the youngest members undertaking their training. My son did not settle in his first nursery and so both of us were anxious about finding another nursery. Management makes it a priority for the nursery to reassure parents that anxious children are happy and well during the day and this communication is welcomed. Staff don't change regularly - it has been the same faces in the baby room for almost a year and this is important especially for babies. It is also a good sign that staff are well looked after as some nursery change staff regularly. Staff seem to know all babies well and their personalities and individual needs. So far we have experienced a parents evening, fireworks night, Halloween and a Christmas sensory party with Santa. Children are encouraged to socialise when doing activities such as painting, baking etc and this socialisation is building my son's confidence with other children.

They also provide an excellent pre-school education, such that my daughter easily made the transition to school despite being one of the youngest in her class.

Step by Step Nursery is fantastic. We are both really happy with the Nursery, in particular, the attentiveness and dedication of the staff. Staff clearly care hugely about the kids in the nursery and are always available to reassure and answer any questions or concerns we may have. As a result, we always feel confident our child is being nurtured and well cared for. We have seen our child blossom in the nursery and thus recommend it to all our friends. The online journal works really well as staff update it regularly and with a good deal of effort and thought. This means we have lots of photos of the fun stuff going on in the nursery to see and show relatives.

Both our boys have attended Step by Step Maryhill and our youngest is in his last year before P1. The staff are what makes this nursery. They go above and beyond to get to know the kids and are kind, warm and friendly. My youngest son loves his 'ladies'! Activities and trips are excellent. Swimming lessons, music, forest school, play on pedals. Great communication with parents through FB and regular newsletter etc.

The feedback is on a daily basis which is great and the learning journals which go out every couple of days are fantastic and keep you in the loop of the progress of your child.

My daughter has a very specific diet due to her autism and the nursery have had no issue accommodating this.

My little one has come on so well since he started in November, the staff are brilliant with my little boy, he loves them all. Great nursery.

I rave about the nursery all the time to all my friends and I know a few parents that they have ended up sending their children to the nursery.

My son has been attending Step by Step Private Nursery since October 2013 when he was 9 months old. I would highly recommend the nursery. My son takes part in a whole range of activities including swimming, Forest School, and mini kickers to name a few. The nursery always give the children good opportunities to be outside and have a good garden. The staff are great and have a really good understanding of each child and their personal needs.

My daughter has recently started swimming lessons through the nursery which she loves. This sets Step by Step wide from other nurseries, always looking for new ways/activities for the child.

This nursery is excellent. They offer a huge variety of activities including swimming lessons, music lessons and Forest School. The children go out everyday regardless of weather thanks to their partially covered outdoor area. With electronic learning journals, you get almost daily pictures of your children at nursery- which is much better than just words but the best thing is the staff, they are so friendly, welcoming, calm and caring. I'll be very sad when my kids have to go to school.

Both kids love going there and we feel that they are both educated and encouraged to have fun at the same time.

Excellent nursery- staff are well trained, child centred in their planning and genuinely care about the children in their care. My son has built positive relationships and thrives academically socially and emotionally during this time at nursery. The nursery provides a broad and varied range of activities and involve parents every step of the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Step by Step Private Nursery to other parents.

We couldn't be happier having our son in Step by Step and he loves it too! He has really come on in leaps and bounds since he started here and loves all of the staff. The staff are great with him and they are very helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend Step by Step to any parent.
