January 24, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has attended Early Steps Nursery for two years, and he has come on so much since starting. The staff are lovely and compassionate, he feels safe and secure enjoying the four days a week he attends. Best nursery in the area by far, would definitely recommend to other families and relatives alike.

January 27, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son loves this nursery and the staff are lovely to him and seem to really like the children in general.
They are always doing good activities with him and teaching him things as he plays. His behaviour has improved a lot and he has become a lot more independent since he started, just over a year ago. After his sister was born his behaviour slipped, but everyone was very understanding. His key worker also gave us an action plan to use at nursery and home and his behaviour improved in the end.
I couldn’t be happier with the level of care and attention they give my son.

January 27, 2020 at 12:00 amThe staff are friendly and empathetic to parents and children alike. I have never felt the need to call and check on my little one as I am absolutely confident that she is in good hands and they will always call me if they want to check anything or if the little one is not well without hesitation. It is a lovely homely environment, little one especially loves cuddles with the staff and enjoys the hot meals. I could not recommend highly enough.

January 27, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending the nursery for just under 2 years now! He started when he was around 7 months old! We have had a very positive experience so far and my son has developed so much since starting. The staff are very friendly, caring and very approachable.

January 27, 2020 at 12:00 amAmazing nursery, all staff are up to date with all procedures. My son only currently goes 1 day a week and the improvement in everything has been amazing. Can’t wait for him to start full time.
Love this nursery so much.

January 27, 2020 at 12:00 amWe have been sending our son to Early STEPS since he was 10 months old. The team at Early STEPS have taken care of him and helped shape the little happy character he is today. The team are very receptive to questions, concerns and help parents to develop a child’s skill set.
The nursery is very clean, well maintained and organised every morning. The meals provided are fresh and delicious.
A great addition this year is the App which has helped us stay connected a lot more easily to our son’s progress.

January 28, 2020 at 12:00 amExcellent experience since day one. The staff are very friendly and professional. They are very attentive to my daughter’s need and demands. Very experienced and warm team. The team across the nursery are very friendly and helpful. We received daily updates and her personal development review is very detailed. My daughter loves being there and she enjoys being with the team. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Very clean and a wide range of things on offer for the kids.
The management is very helpful and very friendly on a daily basis.

February 3, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been very happy to come to nursery from day one. She very rarely cries and loves all the teachers and carers. We’ve noticed he doing things that we haven’t taught her she definitely learns a lot from nursery. Management have also been extremely accommodating during the time we’ve needed it and staff are just always friendly.

February 3, 2020 at 12:00 amMy little girl loves it here and so do I! As a nursery worker myself, I knew exactly what I was looking for in a setting and Early STEPS deliver. The staff are excellent, they take a very personal approach to teaching and the setting feels like a home from home. The staff are keen to support my daughter with learning about her culture and celebrate a range of festivals from around the world. Communication is very good and the app which they use is fab, and really allows me to see what level my daughter is at and what she gets up to in nursery. The management are also very supportive, especially when it comes to forms or applying for funding etc, they are always happy to help and will go that extra mile. Displays around the setting are always up to date and relevant to each class which is lovely. The outdoor area is spacious and has lots of equipment for little ones to use their energy. They also have a pet guinea pig which my daughter loves! Highly recommend!

February 17, 2020 at 12:00 amBoth of my children really enjoy to STEPS nursery. They have settled well, get on well with the other children and have good relationships with the staff. The management are amazing and go above and beyond to cater to any needs for me or the children. My oldest is in pre-school and has learnt so much and come on amazingly since moving into this room. I’d recommend this nursery to others and I have. Great environment and great price.

February 17, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son loves Steps Nursery. He goe’s twice a week but if it was up to him he would go every day. He has made excellent progress since starting 10 months ago. All the staff are so friendly and my son loves them all. I can’t recommend this nursery enough.

February 18, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been coming here since she was around 20 months old and she’s now in the pre-school room.
We are very happy with the care that is provided at Early STEPS, all the staff are extremely friendly and very approachable and accommodating!
The activities provided are fun and educational and my daughter loves being here on the two full days a week she attends and often does not want to come home at pick up!
I think that tells you just how happy she is here.
There is a nice outdoor play area and a nursery pet guinea pig which my daughter chats about.
The staff are very informative at handover and there is also the app which is excellent as I can see what she has been up to during the day.
We can highly recommend Early STEPS as a fantastic childcare provider!

February 18, 2020 at 12:00 amWe love Early STEPS Nursery, the kids always come home saying they’ve had the best day. The staff are lovely and it’s a great local nursery. Our son has been there for the past 3 years and it’s exceeded our expectations.
The lunches are fab our toddler always finishes and often requests seconds.
Really like the new digital system for keeping track of what time the baby naps/when the kids eat dinner/photographs of activities they’ve done.
Can’t recommend it highly enough.

February 18, 2020 at 12:00 amThe nursery staff are very friendly when welcoming you into the building. They ensure your child knows who they are and familiarise themselves with you instantly. The team in my son’s room are very efficient, he settled in so quickly and really enjoys his time there. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for an honest, reliable and trustworthy place where you feel comfortable. I can see what my son is up to, sleeping times, food eaten, etc., which is a comfort.

February 18, 2020 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been going to this nursery for the last year and we would definitely recommend them. The staff invest so much time in the children and their development. The facilities are great and they have lots of outdoor time which is really important for us. Our little girl is always full of smiles when we collect her and always talks fondly about the staff. They are really approachable and always happy to help with any emerging issues.

February 20, 2020 at 12:00 amA brilliant place for my daughter.
With excellently skilled staff to guide her, she has progressed in all areas with gusto.
And she still bounds in on attendance days, having developed a strong bond with the staff.

February 21, 2020 at 12:00 amI have watched both my children grow into confident, talkative and determined little children with the kind and caring, nurturing of all the staff at Early STEPS Nursery. The manager and the team have always been welcoming, friendly, approachable and accommodating to our family needs.
Both children enjoy reading, being creative and learning through play.
They play indoors and outdoors in all weathers, having exercise, social interaction and fun on a regular basis.
My son has medical needs which have an action plan in place and I feel confident that he is well looked after in this respect.
They have both been excellently supported through potty training, creating secure friendships with other children and supported to reach development milestones.
I’m very happy I chose Early STEPS to give my children the best start in life!

February 21, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been coming to STEPS Nursery since she was 6 months old and is now 2 years old, she settled in straight away and bonded with all the staff who looked after her. She has been learning new words, songs and different objects, drawing and activities. I would highly recommend STEPS Nursery as the staff are great with the children and the nursery is a bright welcoming place for children to be.

February 21, 2020 at 12:00 amThe staff are welcoming and supportive of all children and parents and our son is always delighted to see them. Staff are very resourceful in creating fun learning opportunities and always encourage polite and caring behaviour and good communication with the children. Meals are great and the team has been hugely accommodating to meet our complex dietary needs. We’d be happy to recommend the nursery to anyone.

March 2, 2020 at 12:00 amBrilliant staff friendly and professional. My boy is adopted and they are very attentive to his needs. He can’t wait for his nursery days. There has been a massive change with his learning since starting I am very happy with the standard Early Steps provide.
