My daughter joined this nursery at 14 months and is still currently attending. We feel so fortunate to have gotten a place at this wonderful nursery. She was on the waiting list for a year, and prior to joining, she had struggled with settling into other care settings. From her very first day here, she has settled in beautifully. Even after a 2.5-week break over Christmas, she was excited to come back, no tears, no tantrums, just a big smile! A huge thank you to Sue, Hyatt, Holly, and Riyanka, who she talks about all the time. It’s such a blessing to see our daughter happy, thriving, and excited to learn every day. We couldn’t ask for a better nursery experience.

Read on GoogleWe’ve had such a fantastic experience with Stepping Stones over the past year, and we’re truly sad to be leaving due to personal circumstances. Our 3-year-old daughter has absolutely thrived here—she’s grown in confidence and made lovely friendships. The staff are incredibly nurturing, attentive, and professional. They’ve created a warm and stimulating environment where our daughter felt safe, encouraged, and inspired to learn through play. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which made us feel involved in her daily activities and progress. We can’t thank the team enough for the care and support they’ve shown. If you're looking for a nursery that truly puts children’s well-being and development at the heart of everything they do, we wholeheartedly recommend Stepping Stones. Thank you again for everything!
