All of the staff are very friendly. Although they are very professional, you feel like you're with friends. They seem to know every single child well and my son happily goes to them. He loves all of the different activities and the outdoor play. At the end of the day they read books and sing songs.
Sometimes he doesn't want to leave! His speech and knowledge is excellent. I believe this has been further developed by his attendance to Step.
The nursery is always kept clean and tidy. The staff work very hard to ensure this.

Very happy with nursery provision provided by Steps. Our child enjoys the meals provided, the out door play area. The parents evenings and postings on line provide very useful review of our child's progress at nursery.

My experience with this nursery has been very helpful to my grandson and myself. Helping my grandson to settle down after most mornings of him getting upset and not wanting to stay , they help to distract him and help calm him down on my leaving. Then inform us with up to date details of him
settled down and how he gets involved with activities. Many thanks to all at steps nursery.

My daughter who is currently 3 years old has been attending early steps since she was 6 months old. She's progressed from the baby room through little crawlers and tremendous twos into pre-school so we've now experienced all on offer. Having also had three other older children who have attended
other nurseries I feel I can confidently recommend this provider to others. The staffs positive and proactive culture is what really stand out with a blatantly obvious wealth of experience and genuine interest in your child's education, welfare and life experience and this shines through at all levels from management down to grass routes including even the cleaning staff (if you're the last to pick up like I am that is).

Great nursery with great staff. Lots of activities. My granddaughter has lots of fun while learning, and amazes us with her numbers, singing and actions. She also loves the outside play time when she can get her wellies on. She is very independent and has even been trying the potty there.

Great staff and lovely facilities. I feel at ease leaving my little boy at nursery, knowing he is in excellent hands. They have supported him with all sorts (including fussy eating and toilet training), keeping us in the loop and listening to our concerns at every step.

I've had my children in this nursery for the last 7 years. They are amazing, all of my 3 kids have loved going and have been/are excited for their nursery days. The manager goes above and beyond, always helpful and trying to do her best for her children, their families, and her staff. The staff are
all great with the kids, and my children have always bonded really well with their primary carer.

Early Steps is a warm and welcoming nursery. My daughter attended from age 1 until she started school, and settled so well, she still talks about her time there now! Her little brother now attends, he took a lot more settling in, but the staff were amazing with him, sending me updates to keep me
reassured that he was fine. He now goes into his room happily and has the best time. The app is updated with learning plans so we know what he has been doing. I would not hesitate to recommend Early Steps Nursery. It's a lovely place and my son has plenty of things to entertain him throughout the day.

Excellent nursery - wouldn't use anywhere else. They have looked after both of my children and my youngest is currently really enjoying his time there. It has brought on his development in many ways; his eating habits, teeth brushing, social development and general learning. The staff are all really
friendly and go above and beyond to ensure the children are happy, safe and stimulated. I feel reassured knowing my child is left in safe hands here. Can't fault it in any way.

A fantastic nursery, where my child feels extremely cared for. Receive daily feedback from support staff who are also always on board when trying to help develop your little one whether it's toilet training or dietary requirements. Couldn't have chosen a better nursery to attend.

Our daughter has been attending and loving Early Steps since she was 9 months old. The staff create a nurturing home away from home, which has seen our daughter thrive in the last 20 months. Observations and updates are always prompt and thorough and staff are incredibly approachable should we have
any questions, comments or concerns.
05 February 2025
My child has been going here for over a year now and has come on leaps and bounds. I was so before to leave my child in a place where I didn't know anyone but step put me at ease instantly. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. They will go above and beyond to make sure you and your child are
happy.

My daughter has been attending Early Steps for 20 hours a week since just before her 1st Birthday, and I honestly wouldn't pick any other nursery provider. As a first time mum I was nervous about leaving her in a new environment, but the staff at Early Steps were so caring, supportive and
reassuring, and they took time to learn her schedule to make the transition as easy as possible. Very quickly my daughter created strong bonds with the staff and other children, and we could see how much she enjoyed being there because she didn't want to leave! After being at Early Steps over a year, she has some great friends, she's constantly learning something new and she loves to tell us what she's done at nursery. All of the staff are so welcoming and you can see that they genuinely care for the children they look after. I'd recommend Early Steps to anyone.

My little one has been going to STEP since he was 11 months, now nearly 4. He's loved going and all the staff have always been so caring towards him. He's learnt so much in the time he's been there, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
07 January 2025
Staff are so welcoming and supportive of children, any siblings at drop off, and parents. There is fantastic communication within the team and with families. The children grow like a family, learning to support and praise one another with such calm, nurturing and positive role models within the
nursery staff. They have a lot of fun and growing confidence every single day. Both our small people have enjoyed their time at nursery so much that we've stayed on even though we're no longer based nearby. Well done and thank you to everyone who who works here.

Our daughter has been going to this nursery since she's six months old and now she's nearly three. We have had the most amazing experience with every single staff, and our child comes home every day with big smiles on her face. She's been telling us (and showing) how much she's been learning at
nursery, from playing, social skills, movement to logic and maths and music! The activity plans are well thought out and varied on a daily basis, giving every children a wonderful experience and development gain in all aspects. I believe our daughter will be well ready for school before she's four and this is all thanks to Early Steps!
03 January 2025
Our boy has been attending for arising two years ands he really loves it. All the staff are great with the kids and accommodating for any additional requests.
He likes to talk about the things he's been doing there and who he played with.

I love this nursery, my son attends two full days. I feel it's secure and a safe place. The staff are wonderful, any issues staff are respectful, responsible and attentive and they always have a smile on their face.
There is outside space, lots of equipment, healthy meals. I wouldn't send my child
anywhere else.
23 December 2024
All staff very friendly and professional with both myself and my child. My child loves going to nursery and has flourished since joining in all aspects. The space provided is clean and well-kept, thank you!
23 December 2024
A really welcoming nursery environment with an array of excellent learning opportunities available each day for children of all ages and academic levels. The staff are all so caring and work hard to make sure the children are having fun. The nursery is always spotless. Highly recommend Early STEPS!
