September 2, 2024 at 7:29 pmShe has grown in confidence since joining, and I am sure she will be a confident independent girl by the time she is ready for school. All 3 of my youngsters have joined Stepping Stones over recent years, and my girl is currently attending. The personnel are wonderful, they really know her personality and cater to her needs. They plan lovely activities every day, and she gets to journey new tastes and textures through playtime. She goes into nursery setting thrilled every day, it is such a warm, caring setting where she is thriving. She really enjoys the dancing sessions too.

September 13, 2024 at 8:28 amIn September, she’s going to preschool, and I’m sure she’s ready for that. All the crew are extremely careful. We cherish the childcare centre and our young lady too. The activities are age-appropriate, and my little one is discovering a lot each day. The garden is fantastic.

September 15, 2024 at 5:39 pmStepping Stones has provided excellent care for both our kids from when they were exceptionally young right through to school age. We have always been provided with daily updates, regular parent evenings and activities/events that parents can get involved with if they can. Also exceptionally accommodating of any changes we have needed to make as our personal circumstances changed. My young lad started at 4 months old, and my girl at 6 months old. They have been well cared for in each of the age rooms and enjoyed their time there, forming close bonds with kids and personnel.

October 14, 2024 at 10:09 pmI used Stepping Stones childcare centre for a one week temporary contract of my five month old as I had an exhibition to attend at event city. I am so cheerful with the level of care and attention the team offered my son. In addition the team upload pictures and updates of my kid development/activities/educational needs on a daily basis, so that I as the parent am not missing out, remarkable! Huge thanks to the team. I wish this childcare centre was in London. Exceptional. Your kid is your number one priority and you need a team that will take huge care and attention of your precious kid – the team at Stepping Stones childcare centre all look forward to taking care of your kid.

November 1, 2024 at 9:40 amA lovely setting with a fantastic garden and excellent crew who genuinely support for the little ones and go above and beyond to help meet their needs. My little one has blossomed since attending Stepping Stones, and I would wholeheartedly advocate this nursery setting to anyone wanting high-quality support for their little one.

November 2, 2024 at 5:13 pmStepping Stones has provided a wonderful, warm and caring setting for our boy, who has settled in quickly, forming strong relationships with the team. We feel comfortable and self‑assured in having an open conversation about his advancement and upcoming focuses and feel supported in any decisions or requests we make. From day one, he has come home with a smile on his face. For first-time parents who are exploring a lot and may worry somewhat, it’s appreciated. Thank you to everyone at Stepping Stones for all the great work, kindness and attention. He really enjoys the fantastic outside space available and the delicious home-cooked meals. We are provided regular updates of his day, including pictures of the fun, engaging activities and key moments of discovering. Seeing his advancement during this time has given us the greatest assurance that he is in the best hands.

November 10, 2024 at 7:41 amShe is currently 19 months old and has been attending this childcare centre since four months; it’s practically like a second family for her. The care and attention they give her is next level, and every day I can see how much she loves it, mainly because she never wants to leave! I can’t wait for my next little one to start! Stepping Stones is an incredible childcare centre that my little girl loves!
Harper Drake
November 11, 2024 at 11:32 amHe’s been there for just over a year.
The team are so lovely and welcoming and you can tell they are mums themselves! They genuinely care for my boy and smother him with lots of adore and attention.
It’s a very home from home childcare centre which I adore. I sense like the team really know my boy inside out. I know when I leave him he will have lots of enjoyable and be cared for. They communicate daily about what he has done and what he has eaten either verbally or via the online system.
They have also been very flexible too.
As a teacher myself, I am aware of what should be provided within the eyes setting I am more than cheerful with what Stepping Stones provide.
Thank you Stepping Stones for attentive for my son and giving him lots of opportunities to learn through playtime. My daughter attended Stepping Stones day childcare centre and I took my son back there last year.
Elliot Marsh
November 13, 2024 at 4:39 pmMy daughter has been attending for almost a year and a half since she was 11 months, and she loves going so much. A lovely, supportive setting for the kids, with lots for them to explore and journey. The team there are fantastic, and I wouldn’t send my daughter anywhere else. Stepping Stones is a remarkable childcare centre.
Amelia Cruz
November 13, 2024 at 6:52 pmOur kid always came out with a smile, and the childcare centre ticked all our boxes initially, but the whole time for us has just constantly felt chaotic. Our youngster really enjoyed being there, absolutely cherished the team and was never dismayed about going. We joined Stepping Stones during the pandemic, so could only view the premises from the windows, so took a gamble from reading all these positive reviews and wanted to add our period. The French lessons by a wonderful external instructor were actually on a laptop (fine during Covid but remained so after people could enter the setting), which was disappointing as we could do this at home. We moved to another preschool, and the jump in our child’s ability was huge in just a few weeks. They had quite a high personnel turnover while we were there, including the kitchen team, so the meals became quite basic. There was an incident that happened when our kid could not be seen and issues with images on social media.
Arden Page
November 14, 2024 at 3:39 pmThe team are really welcoming and exceptional with the kids. All the kids are consistently so cheerful when you go in to pick up your kid. They are consistently doing lots of enjoyable activities made around the kids’s interests. They even made great activities for taking care of babies when they found out my son would be a big brother. They also have a lovely chef who makes them lots of lovely food and snacks. My daughter is joining in September too, and I’m sure she will also adore it! My son goes to Stepping Stones, and he absolutely loves it!
Billie Turner
November 18, 2024 at 10:09 pmVery closely cooperate with parents to adopt kid’s daily routine. My 20-month-old daughter really enjoys her time at this nurse. Very welcoming and expert team, with very creative activities every day.
Shawn Clarke
November 20, 2024 at 6:25 pmIt’s a excellent feeling when your little one is settled and cheerful to go to childcare centre.
The team are very welcoming and my son loves them. They have got to know my kid on a personal level and know his personality and needs.
The difference in my son since starting here is incredible his speech has come on in leaps and bounds and he’s even eating alot better too.
Stepping Stones is a home from home for my son and I would be lost without them We adore Stepping Stones.
Finley Parker
December 10, 2024 at 7:56 pmExtremely attentive team who helped her grow into a confident and outgoing little girl. She is now at Reception but still asks to visit her friends and educators at childcare centre. She has very fond memories of her time there and made some excellent friends. I highly suggest Stepping Stones. My daughter spent two fantastic and very cheerful years at this childcare centre.
Dallas Bishop
December 28, 2024 at 10:03 pmShe has developed so much and built her self‑assurance since joining Stepping Stones. The team are absolutely incredible, they provide outstanding care to the kids and we can see the joy on their faces when we pick them up and drop them off. They are very accommodating in requests and consistently walk the extra mile to ensure the kids are taking full advantage of their curious selves. I could not praise them enough. Bonus points are their care, their incredible team and let’s not forget the incredible variety of food their serve to the kids, all homemade by their incredible cook and absolutely incredible menus.
Thank you Stepping Stone family for all the incredible care provided to my daughter. I had my daughter there since October 2020.
Parker Lang
December 31, 2024 at 10:52 pmI go to work and do not worry about him at all as I know he is exceptionally well looked after. The team are so supportive welcoming and communicate highly well on development etc etc. He is highly cheerful at this childcare centre and comes back home highly cheerful and content. It feels like he has been going for years as they are like a second family for my son. My son has attended Stepping Stones for 7 months now and I could not suggest this place enough!
Samuel Diaz
January 21, 2025 at 2:09 pmMy youngest is able to be completely herself at nursery setting, which makes me feel that she is extremely comfortable with crew members, and their comments reflect her personality. Most importantly to me, I feel my little ones are genuinely cared for. My eldest took some time to settle in, but now he looks forwards to going in and seeing his educators and friends. I have two kids in this childcare centre, and both have developed/grown so much since attending this early‑years hub. The early‑years hub garden is remarkable, and I am truly thrilled with the food choices (especially the cheesy pasta that my fussy eater compliments). I would enthusiastically endorse this nursery setting as I feel like it encourages independence, creativity and kindness.
Jamie Lang
January 27, 2025 at 2:30 amWe have seen her self‑assurance grow and build lovely friendships.
Could not suggest this childcare centre enough.
The team are remarkable and attentive and consistently have the best interest of our daughter.
Daily updates on what she has eaten are also a massive plus for us. Our daughter absolutely loves coming to this childcare centre.
Lane Jarvis
January 27, 2025 at 10:52 amThere is such a cheerful welcoming sense to the childcare centre. My son can’t wait to see his friends each morning and it makes it so much easier to go to work each day knowing he is being well cared for by team, that obviously adore their jobs and all the kids in their care.
The childcare centre is consistently spotless and inviting, the food consistently smells INCREDIBLE and each morning we are greeted by a cheerful smiley member of team.
The team are remarkable, I can’t thank them enough for all their care and assistance over the years.
We are proud to part of the Stepping Stones family! My little boy (now 3) has been at Stepping Stones since he was 9 months old and absolutely loves it.
Taylor Irwin
February 8, 2025 at 3:18 amMy daughter has come on leaps and bounds ever since joining in January, and she truly loves every session she attends, and she loves every member of team. The childcare centre and every member of team cannot be praised enough.
Bella Jones
February 21, 2025 at 7:23 amIt is a joy to pick up my kid at the end of the day, and to see she has been well looked after, encouraged and has had a cracking, good time. All the crew, including the management, are cordial and welcoming. I can drop her off and feel calm and trust in the knowledge she is well looked after. They want to know how you and your little one are, and you can really see how well they know her, her traits and her areas for growth. Stepping Stones has a wonderful, caring and nurturing environment.
Blake Ellis
February 26, 2025 at 10:42 pmThe team genuinely care for your kids. It’s not just about Ofsted tick boxes or fees like with other settings I viewed. The team manage to make discovering enjoyable and the kids seem to absorb it in abundance. They teach in a really gentle way that makes it enjoyable for the kids. In the summer you won’t be picking spotless kids up. They will be filthy, that’s because they spend so much time outside playing, creating, discovering and having enjoyable. I personally think its remarkable. Plus they’re super tired by the end of the night! The meals are all healthy, homemade and hearty. Roast chicken, fish pie, wraps, chicken kebabs, curry. Fruit every day. Would I suggest this place? YES! I viewed loads of settings in the area and this one stood out for their friendliness, eagerness, gentleness and calmness. This place has the personal touch of a childminder, the stability of early years setting and the comfort of a secure, inviting welcoming home.
Amelia Young
March 12, 2025 at 11:04 amThe events the childcare centre hold on special occasions are remarkable. The most recent one being Father’s Day when the Dads were allowed in for tea, stay and activities. Highly advocate. My stepson goes to the childcare centre five days a week and enjoys it! The outdoor area is incredible, and I can see his weekly observations and what he gets up to daily through the early‑years hub app.
Paisley Morris
March 24, 2025 at 7:10 amMy 4-year-old had just “graduated” from Stepping Stones Day Nursery and has been going since he was 10 months old. Both my boys have gained lots being at Stepping Stones Day Nursery – social skills, age-appropriate milestones and preparation for school. I wouldn’t hesitate to advocate this nursery setting – I know my kids are pleased and well cared for when I hand them over for the day. My 2-year-old joined post lockdown, and despite being far more anxious, he was welcomed in and has grown hugely in confidence. He has always been delighted and excited to go to early‑years hub and is surrounded by lovely kids and caring adults.
Sophia Davis
March 25, 2025 at 2:36 amHer social competences have definitely “upgraded” using this early‑years hub. My girl is at preschool, and she is so delighted about it. It’s an incredible childcare centre. The personnel is extremely attentive, and the management is always accommodating. She is always delighted and talking all day long about the adventures she got into at this remarkable garden they have got. She learned so many new things and got so many friends.
Jacob Moore
March 26, 2025 at 2:38 amThey have guided us through a number of processes in order to access more help and assistance for him as he transitions towards school. My boy joined Stepping Stones in August 2022; the team have been remarkable, and they have really helped us with his progress.
Avery Clarke
March 30, 2025 at 11:31 pmThe team are all really welcoming and compassionate and my son is so cheerful and relaxed at drop off and pick up. He eats and sleeps well there and we’ve never had any problems. Highly suggest! Our son has been at Stepping Stones for a year and he loves it!
Isabella Gutierrez
April 13, 2025 at 11:13 amThe manager and her personnel are brilliant! They have been fabulous in helping prep and support my little one for the arrival of the new baby too. My girl adores the outdoors, and this was also a real selling point for Stepping Stones. My girl has been at Stepping Stones since she turned one, and we have been delighted with the journey. The activities they do every day are so imaginative, and there a plenty of themed days for them to enjoy. Daily updates and termly advancement updates are great, and the use of the app makes the whole process easy. They are a lovely team who all get to know the youngsters and families so well. My girl adores going to the nursery setting; she is also welcomed so warmly at the door.
Harper Nelson
April 26, 2025 at 10:38 amMy little one adores going to this nursery setting. They do lots of fun activities and have a huge garden that connects to a forest where they regularly go to explore. My little one has been making lots of advancement since he’s at this early‑years hub. I wholeheartedly advocate it.
Rowan Turner
May 6, 2025 at 10:52 pmTeam are down to earth, very welcoming and keep me updated on everything regarding my kid and the childcare centre itself.
My kid loves it here and has learnt a lot in the short time he has been here. Couldn’t be happier! Absolutely incredible.
Luke Brooks
May 10, 2025 at 6:14 pmTheir food is healthy and varied, and the outdoor area is big and safe. They organise a range of interactive activities for the youngsters (cooking, exploring, French, singing…) and have a different focus each week. My young lady has gone to Stepping Stones for two years, and we could not be happier about how she has been looked after. We also really appreciate that their contact is excellent. The team really deserve their exceptional Ofsted grading!
Zoe Mendoza
May 19, 2025 at 9:50 amI have to say we have been truly pleased so far! On Fridays, I get a plan for the week ahead: it’s great to see what she will be doing the following week! Our toddler joined Stepping Stone in January after a big move from London. Next Monday, there is a tea organised for mums and grandmas that will give us the chance to see the kids in their rooms. My kid is thriving in the preschool room: the manager and the team are exceptionally caring, and I am pleased with her advancement so far. As with any big move, finding the right nursery setting is super important, and after visiting several nurseries, we decided Stepping Stone was the perfect solution for us: not many kids, a caring team, and big outdoor. Their observations are detailed and accurate, and I get quite a lot every week! Thanks to the manager and the team for looking after our baby so well! Yesterday I got a biscuit and card for Mother’s day (very cute even if she eats it all!).
Natalie Castillo
May 26, 2025 at 1:54 amI would strongly advocate this nursery setting to anyone looking for a fun, cordial and kind setting for their kid. He has settled in extremely quickly; I get regular updates and photos throughout the day, and the team are really kind and attentive. The early‑years hub has a fantastic playtime area outside and do lots of different activities for him and the other kids. He is truly much treated as an individual, rather than just another kid. He is given healthy and delicious food. As a first time Mum, with a kid born at the beginning of the first lockdown (18 months old), I was extremely anxious sending my boy to nursery setting, but thankfully, I found Stepping Stones.
Olivia King
May 28, 2025 at 11:54 amShe looks forward to going there every day and is absorbing a lot. Amazing early‑years hub. The personnel is extremely attentive, and the management is always accommodating. My girl is at the preschool and couldn’t have been happier with my choice.
Arden Hobbs
June 4, 2025 at 6:51 amTo say I’m sad is an understatement, as she has been taken such incredible care of since day one. Both the baby room and early years room team are fantastic, attentive individuals who take care of your kid as if they’re part of their own family. I have consistently felt so cheerful and secure leaving my daughter here, knowing all her needs will be met – dietary, emotional, and the amount of enjoyable and creative games and arts and crafts the team come up with to entertain the kids and inspire discovering is unbelievable. The kids are cheerful, well-fed, and loved, and all extra needs are met and catered for eg allergies. Updates from team to parents is impeccable with daily door updates, weekly photos and diaries, monthly updates on your kid overall, parents’ evenings and any ad-hoc chat needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest SS to anyone; it was the only place we were prepared to send our kids. My daughter has been with Stepping Stones since February 2020 and is soon leaving to start school.
Indigo Quincy
June 14, 2025 at 4:28 pmMy son really enjoys his time there and is consistently excited about his day and all the unique activities he gets up to. The team are approachable, and you can tell how much they care for all the kids. The monthly discovering journals are exceptional! I would highly suggest this childcare centre. Stepping Stones is a remarkable childcare centre with a real home-from-home setting.
Lucy James
June 14, 2025 at 10:58 pmThe staffs are lovely and extremely accommodating, the app gets updated with all the details, and I can call them anytime if I have any queries. As a first-time mum with no prior journey with babies, I was extremely nervous about sending my little one to a nursery setting. I wholeheartedly advocate Stepping Stones Day Nursery to anyone who is looking for high-standard and high-quality childcare. My girl joined the nest and quickly settled in; she has learnt many new things, and her social skills enhanced a lot. I have delayed and postponed the start date several times, but the manager reassured me and gave me the confidence to send my girl to Stepping Stones Day Nursery. My girl joins preschool now, and she treasures being at preschool; she is the youngest there and enjoys to activities with older youngsters and explore new things.
Alex Hayden
June 17, 2025 at 2:00 pmThe team are incredible and the atmosphere is so welcoming and welcoming. A perfect, nurturing setting for any kid. They catered to my daughters multiple allergies and complex health needs leaving me feeling extremely confident, to leave her in their care. What a lovely childcare centre!
Leah Roberts
July 1, 2025 at 6:26 pmOur young lad is enjoying nursery setting exceptionally much; he settled in exceptionally quickly and now always treasures going in! They’re always making lots of fun/educational activities and have a massive outdoor area too.
