Step Start Mountnessing

Overall, we would thoroughly recommend this nursery to anyone in the area searching for a place for their child.

I cannot recommend Step Start enough. They are an outstanding nursery, who throughout the whole pandemic, worked extremely hard and provided the best possible care. My son's confidence, social skills and speech have come on leaps and bounds, which has helped provide a smooth transition for him as he is now settling very well into a new nursery. If I could, I would send him back to Step Start in a heartbeat.

I found Step Start Mountnessing online after a huge online search of all the nurseries in the area. After contacting Step Start Mountnessing, they got back to me straight away and sent me through all of the documentation. Due to Covid-19 we weren't able to do a physical tour of the nursery but the video and click through tours were fantastic. Our son started at the beginning of March and we are so pleased with the care and nurturing he has received so far and we can already see improvements in his communication skills. The staff in the first steps team always greet you with a smile, are knowledgeable and you can see that they genuinely love what they do. It is also so handy to see what he has gotten up to through the app they use. I couldn't have found a better nursery for my son, he is in great hands! I'm also slightly jealous of what he gets to eat everyday!

We unexpectedly moved into the area during the first lockdown of 2020, which meant we needed to secure childcare without being able to physically visit the setting or meet any staff beforehand. Step Start went out of their way to make us as informed and comfortable as possible and helped our daughter settle quickly into her first nursery environment. I'm so delighted we chose Step Start - the development in our daughter over the last 6 months has been phenomenal, the staff are fantastic, and the Famly app provides excellent peace of mind to parents. I've lost count of the number of times my daughter has cried when I come to collect her at the end of the day as she doesn't want to come home!

Choosing a nursery is a daunting experience for any parent but Step Start made this choice so much easier!

I am so pleased I came for a show around. My son loves it. Sometimes I think he doesn’t want to come home. The team are amazing and I wouldn’t want him to go anywhere else. I love the app and seeing how he’s getting on, what he has for meals and if he has more (most the time.) Thank you.

My daughter goes to Step Start and she has progressed massively since starting. She has made lots of friends and has come on in leaps and bounds. The staff are very friendly and the communication is fantastic.

It's an absolute pleasure for me to send my daughter to Step Start as the staff go above and beyond to provide a nurturing environment. My daughter is thriving in terms of development and truly loves going to nursery every day. She suffered a knock to her confidence during covid lockdown and since being back, her key workers have brought her back out of her shell. I really couldn't be more grateful to the whole team and am looking forward to my youngest starting next summer.

Love this nursery. Amazing, kind, caring, fun staff. My son loves it here and runs in every day. He has come on in leaps and bounds and I feel very happy he goes to Step Start and would highly recommend it to others. They have a fun filled day, listen to the parents and provide excellent food and have great updates on their app.

Step Start is a fantastic environment for a child. My son thoroughly enjoys his time at nursery and is blossoming there. The facilities are very good, with an outdoor space and plenty of indoor activities. The staff are wonderful and caring and always have time for the parents' questions etc. Overall, Step Start is a fantastic nursery and I would recommend it to any parent.

Absolutely fabulous. We highly recommend Step Start and frequently do. We moved to the area temporarily whilst renovating our family home in North London. Step Start was recommended to us by a friend and our 10-month-old son started at the beginning of March. He was able to settle in at his own pace and quickly grew attached to so many of the lovely staff there who all knew his name. The team at Step Start are phenomenal. They saw every sleep cue, recognised he was a good eater from the start and gave him every stimulus. (All updated on the app). But more than this, he was genuinely cared for, appreciated and loved. After seven months, our house was ready to move back into and we were torn as we knew we'd found something special in Step Start. Our son had grown from a 10-month-old baby to a walking, talking happy toddler - developing in leaps and bounds no doubt in huge part due to the dedication of the ladies at Step Start. The most wonderful environment for a child.

Thank you to all the staff at Step Start.

Step Start is absolutely fantastic. Our daughter loves it there. The staff are brilliant and arrange a wide variety of activities. Our daughter is learning so much. There is also a varied and balanced menu.

Really friendly staff. The app is always up to date. Good range of food. Great activities.

Love being able to see their achievements through Famly App.

To sum up, I can’t recommend Step Start highly enough, they’re amazing at what they do and what they achieve!

Staff always updating me, feel very happy knowing his well looked after while I’m working.

This really is the only negative comment I have to mention. It doesn’t stop us wanting to use the nursery in future and our daughter is benefiting from the experience. If our family grows, we’d like our other children to attend also!

Thank you to the girls at Step Start for making the nursery feel like a home from home!

Having tried a few nurseries I was so impressed with Step Start. My child really improved with his speech and his key worker was so patient and encouraging. All the staff are so lovely, the manager is just brilliant. The food menu is impressive too, I really felt little one was being nurtured well. The rooms are so educational, homely and fun with so much to keep them busy. By far the best nursery in the area.
