April 7, 2017 at 12:00 amBoth our children have been looked after by Little Steps from the ages of 10 and 12 months until they went to school. Both have absolutely loved their time there, really progressing and mixing well with others. One has a serious medical condition and the other is intolerant to a few foods and the staff have coped with both excellently. The range of activities, food and environments have been spot on for both our chatty but chilled boy and our busy little action man. We wouldn’t hesitate about putting other children into their care, just might hesitate about producing any more!

May 15, 2017 at 12:00 amMy 3-year-old son enjoys attending little steps nursery in Ystradgynlais and I am confident in the care he receives there. The staff are friendly and approachable and provide plenty of indoor and outdoor activities to help him learn through play.

August 28, 2019 at 12:00 amOur granddaughter is 2 1/2. She’s been in the nursery since she was 18 months. I have nothing but praise for the staff. They are so lovely, but firm. I’ve been on a day trip with them – the staff are so kind and caring. Our granddaughter looks after her dolls as she sees the staff looking after the other children. They take the children for walks, trips, play. They are fabulous. I recommend them highly.

October 12, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son attended Little Steps Nursery for over two years. Throughout the staff have been amazing. They are friendly and kind and have the best interest of the child at heart. The setting has a lovely warm and friendly feel to it and the girls couldn’t do more to please us as parents. We built a lovely relationship with the girls who worked there. My son absolutely loved going and still attends occasional after-school club and still loves it.

October 15, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son started at Little Steps in Pontardawe when he was 2. It’s the best decision we have made. They really made an effort to get to know him and understand how he likes to play and learn.
Our children are so precious and it was hard to leave them with other people. But I never had to worry about leaving him with the Little Steps family. I’d 100% recommend them.

November 1, 2021 at 12:00 amThis was the best thing I could ever do for my son.
We looked at a few nursery options that were cheaper but the facilities and staff at Little Steps are second to none!
He has improved and grown so much just by going to the nursery. All the staff are amazing. The nursery is not just about playing with cheap plastic toys, it is about teaching them how to learn from the very start.
Would 100% recommend this nursery. My little boy loves it so much that he holds on to the girls when its time to come home. Great place, great staff and great atmosphere!

November 9, 2021 at 12:00 amCan not highly recommend Littlesteps enough – my son started during the covid pandemic and just coming out of lockdowns. He had had limited interactions and the nursery team were exceptional at socialising him and helping him develop into a happy, confident, bubbly little boy who absolutely loves his days in nursery. The activities he gets up to are so varied and I like that everything is underpinned by educational learning through exploration and fun. The daily updates are fantastic, and really put you at ease that your child has had a wonderful day. Plus all the info bits you want to know about food, drinks, nappies and naps.
The team are so approachable, will answer any questions and support the routine, likes and dislikes of each child. I really feel like everyone is treated as an individual.

November 9, 2021 at 12:00 amWe’ve been very grateful to Little Steps Pontardawe, and they have done a terrific job in difficult times.
They help settle our daughter in very well, are easily accessible, and provide useful updates.
Our daughter enjoys her time and gets on very well with the team and other children.

November 17, 2021 at 12:00 amOur son absolutely loves it here. He looks forward to going in each morning and comes home with a smile on his face. We were very apprehensive about having to put him into a nursery at a young age, shortly after his first birthday but it has been an amazing decision and now he is approaching four we can honestly say it was the best choice. He has grown and picked up skills and cognition really quickly, as well as increasing his food tastes and social maturity while he has been in Little Steps.
The team are incredibly helpful and communicative, no mean achievement during the pandemic of the last 18 months and I would absolutely recommend Little Steps to friends.

August 24, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started Little Steps Childcare Centre just before his 1st Bday. I was going back to work full time. With the anxiety of leaving him, we did some settling-in sessions. The staff at Little Steps Childcare Centre were so reassuring when I first left. The end-of-day emails we get were a joy to receive to see what I felt I had missed out on. I called them regularly during the first few weeks and always felt reassured and like I wasn’t being a nuisance, leaving the calls able to focus on my work, knowing he was happy and in safe hands. My son has now turned four and starts full-time school in September. We see the staff at Little Steps as an extension of the family. I feel my son has had the best four years start with his social skills, and they also focus on developmental – recording this with photos, artwork and activities evidence (presenting us with this book this week). The activities they do are brilliant with my son filling me in each day on what he’s been doing. Thank you for everything.

March 2, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Steps Childcare Centre is a fantastic setting and facility for our daughter. She has really excelled since joining Little Steps. Her development, both physically and cognitively, has come on leaps and bounds. All the staff cannot do enough for our daughter. Highly recommended.

March 8, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter attends Little Steps Childcare Centre two days a week. She thoroughly enjoys her time at the nursery. She loves exploring and all the activities that are provided for her. The food/menu Little Steps Childcare Centre provides is excellent and my daughter enjoys a variety of food.

March 15, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter started at little steps just before her first birthday in 2021. I was anxious as we were still in strange times. But all the staff at Little Steps Childcare Centre have been absolutely fantastic, not only with our daughter but in communication to us if there is ever anything we need to know about or if we have any queries or requests.
They have provided excellent levels of education and helped set her up for starting school soon, which has been invaluable.
The daily write up and photos we receive is incredible and it allows us to have a real feel for what her day has been like.
Even the effort put into the foods that are planned and provided are second to none and that’s without the cooking knowledge they have started to pass on by getting the children involved in making cakes and chopping vegetables etc. Great life skills that we now follow on with at home too.
Honestly cannot fault anything with Little Steps, amazing all round and we would be lost without this nursery!
