September 16, 2024 at 12:51 pmOur son has been very cheerful here for the last eighteen months. Our son has consistently loved going here and the girls are all so lovely. A fantastic childcare centre with very attentive team, consistently cheerful to help whenever they are needed.

September 28, 2024 at 2:38 pmMy little boy has been going there since he was one. He’s now 19 months old and the development he has made over those 7 months has been phenomenal. He absolutely loves it there! When I go through the team members’ names of a morning with him, he gets all excited about getting to the door to see which welcoming member of team will greet him that morning. He walks straight in without a care in the world, because he absolutely loves it there! He sometimes doesn’t even want to leave! He goes 5 days a week, full time. The team are very supportive, attentive, and really supportive. All members of team are approachable and I sense like they genuinely care about my son which is a excellent relief! They are cheerful to chat at the door, on the phone, or over email about your kid. They are consistently cheerful to help and you never sense like you’re bothering them! The Childcare centre is spotless, tidy, and Covid secure. Best childcare centre in the area, by far! I genuinely can’t fault the team and service at Early Steps, Dudley.

October 3, 2024 at 6:26 amAs a key worker they have kept open which enables me to go to work. The only thing I find is that my kid does not eat some of the food and only that choice is offered. They encourage outdoor activity which is great as my kid loves being outdoors. Since my daughter started last year, her speech has come on loads.

October 8, 2024 at 7:28 pmEvery morning she is excited to go in and see the team and every evening she can’t wait to tell me what she’s been doing and who with. She’s consistently tired after childcare centre which is a great sign because I know she’s done plenty of running around in the garden! Early Steps don’t post updates about meals/toileting/activities etc. on the app but I trusted them from her first day and I knew she was in great hands.
I think being a smaller childcare centre is a bonus because they have more time for each kid. The owner in particular has got to know my daughter very quickly and they have a lovely relationship.
Also, the effort that the team have put into including our daughter and respecting our beliefs (as Jehovah’s Witnesses) is incredible. One member of team especially has gone above and beyond to learn about our religion and accommodate it in activities.
I can’t fault this place, thank you Early Steps! My daughter has been going to Early Steps Day Childcare centre for a few months and it is the loveliest childcare centre we could have asked for.

December 6, 2024 at 10:41 amAll the team are approachable, welcoming, attentive, and go beyond. My daughter had been to previous nurseries to this one but I was never one hundred percent cheerful until she attended Early Steps. Being in the childcare sector myself, I found everything I wanted for my daughter at this childcare centre. She was cheerful from week one when she previously had not settled at other nurseries. She has formed strong, working relationships with team and they really made her security and self‑assurance a priority. Also, I especially liked how this childcare centre uses the curiosity approach. The discovering setting and activities are both engaging and based on individuals’ interests. Most importantly the kids there sense secure, cheerful, and secure. I cannot praise this childcare centre enough for their efforts.

December 24, 2024 at 10:16 pmThe team are very expert and are a excellent bunch of ladies. My daughter has been going to this childcare centre for two years and will be sad when she leaves in July. They have handled the COVID-19 issues brilliantly and due to being a keyworker, my daughter continues to attend the childcare centre. Thank you, to the Manager and the team. Early steps in Gornal is a lovely childcare centre.

February 16, 2025 at 6:36 amThe team are really welcoming and he has progressed so much in the last three months, considering he was in lockdown the whole time before he was here, now he is interacting with team and other kids which is lovely. Would highly suggest! My son has recently started attending Early Steps Childcare centre Dudley and we could not be happier!

February 22, 2025 at 11:57 pmFrom the first day I took my daughter in for a viewing, I felt very much at ease. Her first full day I felt totally at ease leaving her and as it was the first time I had left her I knew she was fine with all of the girls there. Exceptional, nothing is to much for them and are there for anything needed, she eats pretty much all of the food that they provide and she’s so comfortable in coming to childcare centre. Highly recommended! Incredible bunch of ladies here, I felt like my kid fitted in straight away and they are all exceptional with her!

March 13, 2025 at 7:54 amThey meet all their needs and I sense secure leaving them at childcare centre. The team are exceptional at bonding with the kids which makes the girls sense secure. There are lots to do and the girls talk about the adventures very enthusiastically. A lovely childcare centre. The girls are extremely well cared for and nurtured by the team.

March 22, 2025 at 12:27 amMade my boy’s speech incredible, he no longer speaks in third person. He really enjoys it here. They also give all details on what your kid has done/ate which I think is excellent too. Excellent childcare centre.

April 1, 2025 at 6:19 amMy daughter initially would cry every day and not leave the girls alone, yet never complained. Reassured me when I called and was anxious. Ended up increasing my days and now she walks into the girls and has a lovely time. Price is next to non to some that I have also some that I have viewed and know that others go to. The curiosity approach is also so great at letting the kids find their own way of discovering, definitely have found that my daughter is developing more since enjoying childcare centre. Definitely suggest; have been outstanding through covid-19 also if alerting families if concerned. Their app for your kid’s journey is also remarkable. Lovely childcare centre, put you at ease.

April 8, 2025 at 2:31 amThey are absolutely remarkable, I would suggest them to everyone. My daughter has a health condition and they have helped with that every step of the way. Even raising money for her charity. I will be very sad when it comes to her leaving as I know she loves it. My daughter has been with this childcare centre for over a year now.

May 27, 2025 at 8:25 amTeam are so welcoming and welcoming. Lovely bright rooms with plenty of exciting things for kids to see and playtime with, capturing their imagination through the curiosity approach. Excellent range of healthy meals and snacks. Lots of discovering through playtime opportunities. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds. Would suggest to anyone. Remarkable childcare centre.

June 19, 2025 at 1:37 pmHe is so cheerful and looks forward to term time as he knows he’s going to have much enjoyable with the club. They offer exceptional activities and lots of playtime for kids. The food is very great and caters for all needs, my son consistently screams at me he wants to be picked up as late as possible he loves it that much lol. Thank you to all the team for your incredible assistance to help develop our boy into a lovely little person very loving and attentive. My son is years old and has been going to this holiday club since last year.
Kendall Frost
June 23, 2025 at 6:28 amI would definitely use again should I have another kid. Highly recommended – I looked at a lot of nurseries but this one stood out for me and I’m glad I chose it! Remarkable childcare centre with outstanding team, my son has been going since he was 11 months old and he has loved it!

June 23, 2025 at 9:14 amEvery day they amaze me with what they know and it’s all down to the early steps team. They have supported us through some difficult times and I can’t thank them enough and can’t rate this childcare centre as highly as I do. Definitely recommended. Remarkable childcare centre, my kids’s development has come on so much.
Arden Lang
June 23, 2025 at 9:33 amMy daughter has been with this childcare centre for over 2 years. We are from Poland and my daughter firstly had a problem with updates but now she is cheerful every day to come and learn something new and meet and talk with friends there. Suggest them to everyone. Thank you for a excellent place to develop little ones. Remarkable childcare centre with very supportive and compassionate team.

June 26, 2025 at 6:53 amDue to being a keyworker, I had to move the kids to a different setting and this childcare centre was recommended by the previous childcare centre I was at. Because of all the restrictions in place, I was not able to view the childcare centre but from the very first day after picking my two kids up from the new childcare centre their faces beamed with excitement and happiness and they had a great time. The boys continued to attend childcare centre with smiles for a few months and even when it came to the old childcare centre reopening I asked the boys which childcare centre they wanted to stay at and it was consistently going to be the new childcare centre. I took the happiness from my boys and secured their place at the new childcare centre where they have continued to have an incredible time. The team have been so accomodating and welcoming and put me at ease every day I had to leave the kids. Highly suggest. I had to change nurseries during the lockdown as my kids’s previous childcare centre closed.
