29 April 2026
My son has attended this nursery since he was 9 months old and is now 4, and I couldn't recommend it more highly. He has come on in leaps and bounds-his confidence, social skills, and development have grown so much thanks to the caring and dedicated staff.
The team create a warm, nurturing
environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to thrive. Activities are engaging and tailored to help every child progress.
What really stands out is the relationships the staff build-not only with the children but with parents too. They take the time to get to know you as a family, which makes such a difference.
As he heads off to big school this September, it's bittersweet-I'm so proud of him but truly sad to see him leave such a special place. I'm incredibly grateful for everything they've done.
29 April 2026
Every single member of staff has been incredibly helpful and has taken great care of my kids. Ellie, Louise, Cot, and many others have all been lovely, friendly, and welcoming with the children.
They offer a great mix of outdoor and indoor activities, along with special story days, and they
celebrate festivals and events in a way that involves both kids and parents.
They've also been excellent at accommodating dietary requirements and carefully following all instructions provided.
Overall, it's an excellent team providing a fantastic service. Most importantly, it's a safe and healthy environment for our children.

The nursery has done an excellent job of settling in our little one. They've made us feel welcome and confident that she is well looked after and cared for. They've been very accommodating to dietary requirements and seem to do a lot of fun activities.

Excellent nursery, brilliant staff who really care about child development. Brilliant outdoor play areas so the children can spend time outside. Good level of communication with staff all of whom are really friendly and helpful. Couldn't recommend enough.

Our 1 year old recently started at Stepping Stones and we couldn't be happier with the transition. The staff have been so welcoming and kind and it is clear that they truly care about each individual child. Communication has been fantastic every step of the way, which has made our first experience
of a nursery straightforward and easy. The outdoor area is lovely with lots going on. We are so grateful for the support whilst our daughter has been settling in and we can see that she will thrive in this setting. Thank you!

My son absolutely loves stepping stones and the staff are amazing! He's come on so much since attending and is excited to go in every time he sees the building. I love the artwork he sends home and seeing all the pictures of him throughout the day. They also have a really good menu of food and have
helped him with getting into solid. I feel like my son is safe and cared for and I can't ask for much more than that.

Stepping Stones have been fantastic and both our children really enjoy their time at nursery. The staff are lovely and caring. The children do lots of activities to help them learn. The outdoor area has been recently renovated and is an amazing place to play and they seem to be out there every day
weather permitting. Overall a brilliant nursery!

I couldn't be happier with the care and support my daughter receives at this nursery. Pearl and Courtney from the beginning have been warm and welcoming and genuinely invested in her development and wellbeing.
It's been great to see how much my daughters confidence has grown and I love seeing all
the updates from what activities she's been doing throughout the day.
Communication with parents is excellent too, and it's clear that the colleagues care about each child as an individual. I feel completely assured knowing she's in safe hands.
Thank you to everyone at the nursery for the fantastic work you do!

My daughter has been at Stepping Stones for a year, and I couldn't be happier with our choice. Initially, I was concerned about her settling in at just 9 months old, but the staff were wonderful, and she adapted quickly. She has thrived, confident, happy, and learning so much each week. The staff
genuinely get to know her likes and needs, going above and beyond to provide diverse activities, including ample outdoor time in the lovely garden. Each day at pick-up, they give a detailed summary of her meals, activities, and tips for encouraging her development at home.

We absolutely love Stepping Stones at Urmston. My older daughter attended here and had a great and thriving time and now my 18th-month-old son attends. He has a huge smile on his face every morning when we pull up on the drive. The staff are friendly, welcoming and professional and provide not only
care for my son but also love! He enjoyed the activities that they do like cooking and water play and we appreciate the photos to update us on what he is doing. I would 100% recommend this nursery setting to anyone.
13 February 2025
I am extremely happy with how the team at Stepping Stones looks after my child. The care and attention they provide are so reassuring and I am very satisfied with the feedback we are given about the children's development and what they have been doing at nursery.
13 February 2025
Our daughter has been attending Stepping Stones since April 2024. She is usually quite clingy and unsure of new people but the staff at Stepping Stones helped her settle in so quickly. She adores her key worker and always goes straight to her for a cuddle in the morning.
The nursery has a fabulous
outdoor space and each day the children do lots of varied activities. My daughter has even brought cakes home which she has helped to bake.
We are pleased we chose Stepping Stones and would recommend it to other parents.

My daughter joined Stepping Stones in Jan 2023 so has been there for just over a year. I can honestly say they have done amazing with her; when joining she was a very shy and quiet little girl who wasn’t the best in group environments, but now we have an extremely confident, intelligent, very happy
little girl and it is all thanks to the wonderful staff they brought our child out of her shell in so many ways and there’s not a day she doesn’t come home and not tell me about something she has learned or an amazing story about the day she’s had, and always mentions the staff and how they have helped her. I couldn’t be more grateful for the work they have done with her. I have enjoyed looking through her folder, her development and seeing all the details they have given about how well she is doing. My little girl has also been a little picky with her foods, but the nursery have always helped and supported us all with this and she always has a healthy choice of meals every day.

Since my son settled in at Stepping Stones Urmston we have had no issues and my son always enjoys his days spent there. We always get photo updates of all the activities they are getting up to and developing their learning and motor skills which is reassuring and lovely to see! All the staff at
Stepping Stones are really informative and keep in touch and are really keen to support my child’s development. I always feel settled and reassured when my son attends his nursery days and would highly recommend to any parent!
13 February 2024
Friendly and homely nursery where our little boy (3yo) quickly warmed to staff and made new friends, after we’d moved house. We love getting his progress reports and hearing about visits to the park, library etc. He’s always absorbed in play or an activity when we come to collect him, which is
lovely to see. The new outside area is especially good and the kids clearly love it!
12 February 2024
I was expecting to feel awful leaving my child to return to work but I cannot describe how comfortable I feel leaving my son with the staff here. He goes to nursery with a massive smile on his face and through the daily updates and diaries I am kept fully aware of what and how he is doing. The
facilities are great and the staff are all so friendly and great with my child. I visited quite a few local nurseries before choosing Stepping Stones and I am so glad they have lived up to the high expectations set on the initial visits.
12 February 2024
We are so happy with how our daughter has developed at this nursery and come out of her shell so much.
She has made lots of new friends and enjoys learning and going to nursery.
12 February 2024
The staff are great and I especially liked the fact that they are responsive to my questions and concerns. My son has been flying since joining the nursery. I also appreciate their support for multicultural families and babies.
12 September 2023
Our daughter has been here for two years, honestly can’t fault them! We moved her from a different local nursery who didn’t seem to care and it never felt like a bad decision.
Our daughter has loved every day there and is very sad to be finishing soon. Great, friendly staff who always take the time
to understand your child. We get a breakdown each day of what they’ve eaten, what her behaviour has been like and what she has done.
11 September 2023
Stepping Stones is a warm, friendly and caring environment. All the staff take time to get to know each child individually and encourage their passions and interests. The children are given lots of different experiences to support their development in all areas. My son has attended Stepping Stones
since February and myself and my husband are incredibly impressed with the progress he has made. My son is always happy to go to nursery and we find it hard to get him to leave at the end of the day. We particularly like the home-school book that we use to tell the staff about the activities our child has done when not at nursery. A great nursery and a great start to your little one's learning, I couldn't recommend it enough.
