About this day nursery

Right Step Nursery & Kids Club, established in 2019, operates as a childcare setting on non-domestic premises in Stoke-On-Trent, catering to children aged 3–11 years. 30am to 9am and 3pm to 6pm during school term time, the club provides a sociable environment where children enjoy their time, forming kind friendships and engaging cooperatively in group play.

The nursery has robust provisions for children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND), with staff regularly collaborating with school teachers and other professionals to support individual children effectively. For instance, a 'stop spot' is utilised to help children self-reflect and calm down.

Children benefit significantly from a large outdoor play area, where they independently partake in physical activities designed to be engaging for all. They are encouraged to confidently select their own resources and express their views through a 'wish tree', ensuring their ideas contribute to the environment.

Close bonds are fostered with staff, who employ 'hug cards' and conversations to understand children's daily needs and feelings. Parents have expressed satisfaction with the service, highlighting its flexibility.

The nursery maintains strong safeguarding arrangements, ensuring children are taught about personal safety and staff are knowledgeable in child protection.
