We couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about supporting the children's development. Our son has grown so much in confidence and loves going every day. The environment is warm, safe, and welcoming - we truly feel lucky to have found such a
wonderful place.

Our little 3 year old loves his time at pre-school, can't wait to run in and is always happy when he comes out.
The staff are really great, communicative, supportive and really do get to know the kids well.
We're so happy we chose Stepping Stones!

my boy was unsure of nursery but Stepping stones has made my son happy to come in , he loves it here , and so did his other siblings when attended, The staff are so lovely and really puts all there time in to the children

I like the nursery very much as it has many activities and it's great for the children to learn motor skills, life skills and starting their learning for primary School. The nursery does focus week on each child so no one ever feels left out which I think it is important for a child's development.

Our child likes going to Stepping Stones. They have made some great friends and comes home able to tell us what they have done for the day. They go to the early and late wrap around which works really well for us and our child. Recently they have been doing lots of seasonal things and performed
Christmas songs for parents, which our child loved doing. My wife was able to go but I wasn't, however videos were put up on the app for us to see which way really nice.

My son is always excited to go to pre-school! And they have such lovely staff, and great activities for the children to do! The only gripe I have is the fact we can't choose to have packed lunch, would be nice for the option as sometimes I can see where my child has hardly eaten anything as he's not
keen on it, where if he'd had lunch that day he would have eaten more!

My son has had amazing development milestones at stepping stones and can only thank the team at stepping stone for creating the opportunity for my child to grow in the direction he wishes to go (despite the young age)

I'm so pleased with my son's experience at this nursery. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming, and they did so much to help him settle in. He now walks in with no hesitation, and it's clear he really enjoys his time there.
The nursery is always well-organised with a great
variety of toys and engaging activities for the children each day. It's a lovely little team who clearly care about the kids, and I'm really grateful for everything they do. Highly recommend!

Our daughter loves going to Stepping Stones, and staff provide loads of fun and educational activities for the children. The facilities are great, and staff are lovely. Access to the field and wooded area is a real bonus. Our daughter also enjoys the food.

Our 2.5-year-old absolutely loves Stepping Stones Nursery. The staff are warm, patient, and truly understand toddlers, making our child feel safe and happy every day. We've seen such growth in confidence and early learning, and the regular updates reassure us they're thriving. We couldn't recommend
Stepping Stones more highly!

Both of my daughters have blossomed at stepping stones. There's a lovely team, who seem very engaged. My eldest daughter has always been very confident but my youngest has really started to shine this term.

My daughter changed nurseries due to multiple reasons. This nursery has blown me away. The fantastic communication and reassurance has been brilliant. The staff are so friendly. My daughter started as a nervous anxious child. Now she happily walks herself in and asks to go back!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Stepping stones. Over the 2 years, our child has grown and developed so much, and we've seen real progress in their confidence, learning, and social skills.
The staff are absolutely wonderful - caring, supportive, and always going above and beyond to
make sure the children feel safe, happy, and encouraged. The communication has been brilliant too, keeping us updated on our child's milestones and daily activities.
It's such a reassuring feeling knowing our child is in such a nurturing environment. We've seen them flourish here and can't thank the team enough. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a place where their child will truly thrive

From my son's very first day at Stepping Stones, the staff went above & beyond to ensure he was happy, cared for, and supported. They are truly some of the kindest & most caring people you could ever hope to look after your children. There's always something exciting planned, from teddy bear
picnics, baking, dancing, sports days for parents to attend, themed learning activities, and they arranged a lovely leavers party to celebrate before he moved on to school this year. My son is vegan, and this has never been an issue; they've always ensured he's included in everything & fully supported his dietary needs. I've loved the daily updates on the family app, which share photos & notes about what they have been doing. It's a great way to help parents feel connected. Stepping Stones has played such an important role in my son's early years. They've helped him grow in confidence, learn, and thrive, all while making wonderful friends & memories. Thank you, Stepping Stones, we are so grateful!

We cannot be more positive about our daughter's time at Stepping stones. The care and kindness she received was outstanding. They really knew her and helped support her progress in so many ways. Such a a warm, friendly environment for her to flourish in. Couldn't recommend it enough!

Both of my sons have attended Medowside and Stepping Stones, they both thoroughly enjoyed themself.
We couldn't be happier with Stepping Stones! From the moment we first visited, we felt welcomed and reassured that our child would be in safe, caring hands. The staff are warm, patient, and
genuinely passionate about what they do.
The daily activities are thoughtfully planned - there's a perfect balance of play, learning, and creativity. Our child has grown in confidence and comes home every day excited to share what they did.
Communication is excellent too - we get regular updates and photos, which really puts our minds at ease. The nursery itself is clean, bright, and full of wonderful toys and resources. He enjoys taking his packed lunch and sharing his fruit.
We're so grateful to have found such a nurturing environment and can't recommend Stepping Stones highly enough to other parents
