Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
"they receive good communications about their children."
Inclusion & environment
Staff make good use of the local environment to help children to learn about the world around them and how to keep safe outdoors. They take children on outings every day and wear appropriate clothes for the weather.
Stepping Stones has been a wonderful start for our daughter, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she receives. The staff are warm, attentive, and truly invested in each child’s development. Since joining, she has grown so much in confidence and independence, and she comes home every day excited to share what she’s learned. The nursery provides a nurturing, engaging environment with a great balance of learning and play, and communication with parents is excellent. We’re so grateful to the team and would highly recommend Stepping Stones to any parent looking for a caring and supportive nursery
Read on GoogleStepping Stones Nursery is truly exceptional. From the moment you walk through the door, you can feel how much care, thought, and joy goes into every part of the day. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s wellbeing and development. They take the time to really get to know the children, celebrate their personalities, and support them as they grow in confidence and independence. The environment is beautifully set up — calm, creative, and full of opportunities for exploration. Whether it’s sensory play, outdoor adventures, or imaginative activities, the team always provides rich experiences that spark curiosity and make learning feel magical. Communication with parents is brilliant too. You’re always kept in the loop, and it’s clear how much effort goes into making families feel welcome, supported, and part of the journey. Stepping Stones is more than a nursery — it’s a community. A place where children feel safe, valued, and excited to come in each day. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.
Read on GoogleStepping Stones Nursery has been amazing for our family. My eldest attended and now my youngest goes there too, and both have grown and developed so much thanks to the wonderful care and support they receive. The staff are truly second to none — kind, professional, and genuinely invested in each child. I couldn’t recommend Stepping Stones highly enough!
Read on GoogleStepping stones, where I’ve sent both my children, is a fantastic nursery. The staff are really kind and care about the children and their individual needs. They get out and about every day rain or shine (for example today my son visited middle farm in their minibus), and the children really grow in confidence as a result. They were also incredibly supportive with transitioning to school, holding a parents evening with advice and guidance. The children are equipped with the emotional, physical and social skills for their next adventure. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.
Read on GoogleI can not recommend Stepping stones nursery enough!! My older son attended here and the care, support and love they put into helping him grow and flourish is something I will never forget and will be forever grateful for! The support I had through all his Send needs was just amazing and He has gone off to school with the confidence and so much self belief. My younger son is now attending here and he is growing in confidence every single day he attends and loves being there!!
