September 1, 2024 at 2:39 pmSet in lovely surroundings the facilities are outstanding.
This is my 2nd kid to be cared for at this childcare centre, I consistently felt confident, reassured and cheerful when leaving my son in First Steps care. Highly suggest First Steps, all team are attentive, welcoming and consistently approachable.

September 20, 2024 at 6:36 pmMy daughter has just finished preschool at Heathfield Knoll School.
I sense the journey my daughter has had there has been the best we could ever have hoped for.
It has definitely given her the best start to her early years education.
Absolutely exceptional preschool.

October 7, 2024 at 6:21 pmMy son has attended for the past 18 months and in that time it has become his second home. The whole team team are incredible, they work tirelessly to provide an enriching, stimulating, home-from-home journey for all the kids. My son goes in happily at the start of the day and will come away, chatting excitedly about all that he has gotten up to throughout his day.
The team are welcoming, exceptionally well‑informed on how to best assistance the kids in their early years setting, and consistently have time to talk.
The childcare centre team have been there to share my son taking his first steps, discovering to run, climb and say his first words, and it has been a pleasure to share it with them. They have definitely given my little boy the most fantastic start to his journey through education. I cannot suggest this childcare centre highly enough.

November 6, 2024 at 10:37 pmAll of the team are remarkable and the adore and passion they have for their jobs is highly evident.
They have a wonderfully flexible approach, are highly accommodating and I would have no hesitation in highly recommending this childcare centre. Our son has been here since February and he absolutely loves it.

November 22, 2024 at 1:56 pmHe was highly clingy but the team were incredible and went above and beyond to make sure he was settled and cheerful and also to offer us much needed reassurance that he was ok. Thanks to their approach and their compassionate, attentive and empathetic nature, he settled quickly and is loving his childcare centre journey. He gets so excited when we pull off the drive to drop him off. In extraordinary circumstances, they made the transition as seamless as possible for him and also us. We are so cheerful with our choice of childcare centre and sense confident and cheerful that our son will continue to delight in his time there. Our son started childcare centre here in February, having spent most of his life in lockdown under Covid restrictions.

November 28, 2024 at 8:45 pmIt has outstanding facilities however it is the team at the preschool that make the preschool outstanding. My son has truly grown so much since attending, not only in his abilities but also his self‑assurance. The educators are attentive and nurturing and clearly interested and devoted to what they do and the kids they teach. Thank you so much. This is a review for the preschool which my son attends, which I cannot suggest highly enough.

December 19, 2024 at 4:27 pmMy little one started during a pandemic and with all the changes in life, let alone starting childcare centre, he settled in so beautifully. He loves going, he has so much enjoyable, he tells me about his day and he is so cheerful whilst talking about it. As a parent, it is so difficult starting the journey of childcare centre, you just want carers to look after your baby with adore and sensitivity to their needs, whilst also making sure they have enjoyable, learn and develop nicely and this is certainly the case for us. I know our little boy is in secure hands and has comfort and adore if he needs it and they know him so well. I honestly couldn’t speak any higher of Heathfield Knoll Day Childcare centre, a fantastic place. We adore this childcare centre!

January 7, 2025 at 4:13 pmEven at one, he stretches to get out of his car seat when we arrive to go in. The daily report sheets of his diet and activities are truly supportive. Highly recommended. My son has now been to this childcare centre 4 days a week since November, I am exceptionally cheerful with his care there and his key workers.

January 25, 2025 at 12:45 amHe loves attending, all team are excellent and his development is astounding. We couldn’t be happier and more grateful that we found this childcare centre! Our son has been attending here for 18 months now and we definitely made the right choice!

January 30, 2025 at 10:11 pmThe manager is approachable, supportive and highly expert.
I would be more than cheerful to suggest this care setting. It is outstanding, to say the least. My daughter who is two has had an exceptional journey at First Steps.
It is highly spotless and the team go above and beyond their role to meet her needs.

March 14, 2025 at 4:47 amThey are highly progressive and modern in the way things are done. Nothing but healthy food, and they are doing baby led weaning on my request. My little one has come on leaps and bounds under their care. Remarkable childcare centre, my little girl has been going since she was 3 months old, she is now 7 months old.

March 20, 2025 at 10:21 pmThe kids look highly smart in a great quality uniform, the teaching is outstanding and the wrap-around care truly supports working parents. Furthermore, the school works exceptionally hard in supporting educational development especially speech and language needs in preparation for formal schooling. My kid is consistently cheerful to attend school. I can highly suggest Heathfield Knoll School and First Steps Childcare centre. Heathfield Knoll School offer a comprehensive preschool journey.

June 23, 2025 at 3:45 amMy kid settled in straight away and is consistently telling me about the fabulous things she does and the friends she has made. The teaching team are so dedicated and they take excellent care providing one-to-one attention to the kids. It’s highly clear to see that they adore their jobs. I can’t rate the preschool highly enough. It’s an incredible place. Heathfield-Knoll School Preschool is a fantastic place for kids starting their education.

July 7, 2025 at 7:37 amThe childcare centre team are highly welcoming and give us lots of information about his daily activities, which we adore to see. Overall, we are highly cheerful with the setting and care given to our little boy. We are highly cheerful with our choice of childcare centre. My son started with the childcare centre at 8-months-old and has settled in exceptionally well, from day one he has been cheerful to see the childcare centre team on a daily basis and is consistently content.

July 8, 2025 at 9:02 amWe highly suggest Heathfield School First Steps childcare centre; the team are consistently keen to assistance our kid’s key development stages (such as potty training), there is a wide range of activities with different monthly themes and most importantly our daughter can’t wait to go in every morning. The transition to preschool is being managed truly well too, and a few kids are going together which I think is excellent for consistency. We are highly pleased to have our daughter at this childcare centre. Our daughter has been attending this childcare centre for close to a year and she is currently starting the transition to pre-school.
