Our ethos

1st Stepping Stones Nursery provides a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for every child. Staff are dedicated and passionate about ensuring each child thrives and parents are happy knowing that their child/ren are being given a high quality of care. Parents and carers are actively involved in the everyday practice of our nursery. We encourage all parents and carers to be involved in their child/rens care and education and provide advice and support for all families. The skills and learning children adopt at our nursery can last a lifetime, so we ensure that we provide activities and resources that cater to every child’s individual interests and needs. We do this based on each child’s individual development and interests, as well as what we aspire for the child to achieve. We actively promote healthy eating through our range of healthy snacks and meals which are also culturally diverse to encourage children to explore a range of foods. Our outdoor provision is fully equipped with a range of physical resources and activities. We also take daily trips to our local community and local parks. The staff at 1st Stepping Stones Nursery are committed to ensuring every child is safe, healthy and reaches their full potential.
