My daughter has been going to Stepping Stones for a few months now and she is loving it. The transition has been easy and not like what people told me to expect. She hasn’t once cried when I’ve dropped her off, in fact she reaches for the door! I love how regularly the team update the app, so I can see exactly how her day is going. I look forward to picking her up as I get to see her enjoying herself and the team are always so welcoming and happy to tell me about her day. You can tell how much they love and care for the children by the activities they design, the food they serve and the way they speak to & about them! My daughter has clearly built some lovely bonds with the ladies in her room and I can tell she is very happy and at ease with them. It is clear that all staff are professional, following policies well and they communicate exceptionally. I have no complaints or concerns and I look forward to seeing how much more she develops as time goes on!

I cannot thank Stepping Stones Nursery enough for my son's start to nursery. I was really nervous about being separated from him but from the app updates and photo's I receive throughout the day, he is clearly experiencing a high level of care and really enjoying himself. Its been a much easier transition than I had imagined.

Stepping Stones Nursery has truly exceeded all of our expectations! From the moment we stepped in, it was clear that the safety and well-being of the children are their top priorities. The staff are warm, welcoming, and highly attentive, ensuring that every child feels loved and secure in their care. The nursery offers an incredible range of activities that are both educational and fun. There’s a perfect balance of creative play, hands-on learning, and outdoor exploration, which helps foster both cognitive and social development. Whether it’s building with blocks, engaging in imaginative play, or exploring the garden, the children are constantly encouraged to think, create, and interact. One of the standout features of Stepping Stones is their focus on creativity. The play invitations are thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity and imagination, and it’s amazing to see how engaged and excited the children are each day. And let’s not forget the food! The home-cooked meals look absolutely delicious, nutritious, and made with care. The cook Angie even gets the children involved frequently with her cooking club which Darcy absolutely loves! Stepping Stones is a truly special place where children can thrive, learn, and feel safe and happy. We couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful care and support they provide. Highly recommend!

Stepping Stones has been part of all three of our children's journeys and I wouldn't choose anywhere else! The provision that they provide is incredible. We really love the curiosity approach to the play spaces, giving the nursery a beautiful homely feel and providing high level, rich experiences for the children. The communication with the staff is great & wonderful home cooked food- adds to the homely feel of the setting! Communication with the staff is fab and I feel very comfortable with leaving my child in their safe hands. We feel incredibly lucky that our children are/have attended this nursery! Thank you Stepping Stones family!

Stepping Stones is a warm, welcoming environment that feels just like home. The staff are exceptional—so caring, patient, and genuinely dedicated. They provide the best home cooked food with the menu changing often. The babies get to spend time playing in the garden and take part in a range of creative painting activities. My son loves his days there and is actually excited when he see’s his nursery bag in the morning. It’s the perfect setting for young children to feel safe, happy, and encouraged to explore their creativity. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful place for him!
