Little Steps Nursery (Rochdale)

Both my children have attended this nursery, my eldest has now left but my youngest son still attends. He absolutely loves it here. I am so glad I found this nursery and have always felt so comfortable leaving both my children here. The children here are all very well looked after and cared for. I know I can go about my working knowing that my son is happy, safe and in good hands. The staff are lovely, and I have always found them approachable and down to earth, which I feel is so important. It’s like a home from home for my youngest child! My eldest also enjoyed his time at little steps and I am just so glad I came across this fantastic nursery. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone!

I needed a temporary nursery for my son whilst my house was getting renovated in London. I contacted little steps nursery and spoke with staff. They were very accommodating and booked my son in for a couple of weeks whilst I stayed at my parents. The nursery is fantastic, really friendly staff. My son enjoyed himself and settled in quite quickly. The food choices were good too. The nursery is great value for money with some nice outdoor facilities.

Great Nursery, my child finds it hard in new situations and hadn’t spent much time away from us before they started nursery. They helped to make our child feel comfortable, happy and safe in their care. Now my child loves going to nursery.

My daughter attended this nursery and has now moved on and my son currently attends Little Steps. The staff are so loving towards your children and truly care the way you would want someone to who you’ve entrusted with your babies. Every single staff member works so hard and prioritises interaction with the children and building strong bonds from the moment they start attending. My daughter was deaf so had some additional needs and the manager at the time made sure to liaise with other professionals and sat in on their sessions to learn how to support my daughter best which meant the world to me. For younger children, it’s more free play but as my daughter got older I noticed more structured activities, which helped her so much developmentally.

Communication is extremely open and any concerns or things you want your child to work on are attended to quickly and activities are personalised to your childs Likes, wants and needs. Great, balanced and variety of meals. Couldn’t recommend it more!

I absolutely love this nursery.
Out of the three nurseries, I have experience with, Little Steps is by far the best.
The experience of sending my child here feels deeply personal. You get so many updates, and they really get to know your child for who they are, celebrating their differences and catering activities around their interests and budding aspirations.
My child has progressed so very much with personal growth, phonics, numeracy and confidence. You can see the massive difference in just 4.5 months.
The nursery setting is very calm and relaxed. It doesn’t feel frantic or chaotic as some preschools/nurseries can. The staff are so approachable and friendly. I would never feel worried or anxious to relay information or ask for advice or share a concern.
There is an outdoor play area, various toys and imaginative play areas, structured activities and proper ‘home-cooked’ lunches.

The staff have been amazing with my son. He really struggled, in the beginning, to settle in, and they gave him more settling-in days, which really puts me and my son at ease. They have been amazing with my work timetable, as it is constantly changing each week; they have been so flexible with his days which is amazing. My son comes home and tells me all the activities he has been doing throughout the day; he loves the music man. I also love that the staff get professionals in to teach and entertain the children, like the karate teacher and the football coach.

I can not fault Little Steps, the staff are polite, professional, caring and so friendly. My son loves going, he goes in happy, and he’s formed great relationships with all the staff which makes going to work easier as I know he’s in good hands.

Always a friendly face at the door. My child always tells me he had a good day learning playing and making friends. Staff get to know each child and can tell when a child isn’t themselves, always kind and caring.

My daughter just turned one and even though she only goes to Little Steps for one and a half days, she absolutely loves it and comes home so tired. It has been the biggest help sending my daughter here as the staff are wonderful and tells me in detail what she has done and eaten that day.

Little Steps Nursery is a brilliant learning environment for young babies up to five years old. It’s very clean, it has a lovely setting and a very safe space and environment. The staff are lovely and welcoming and made it so easy for settling in as well as personal care toward your child.

The learning curriculum is outstanding and the best thing is it’s child-led. It’s personal to your child’s development and what they do out of nursery which is tailored to suit their individual development needs. The facilities are very good as well as breakfast, snacks, and lunch is provided. This was a huge bonus factor when selecting the nursery. They also provide a halal option too, I love the fact they are so diverse. The opening hours really suited my work.

It’s a very warm friendly environment and all the staff are genuine, caring and really friendly. I would most definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking.
