August 2, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my girls attended Stepping Stones Day Nursery in different years, however, the nursery maintained the same quality, staff are brilliant and attentive. I never felt worried about leaving the children because I knew they were looked after. Nothing but positive comments, and definitely recommend it to other people.

August 2, 2021 at 12:00 amI would recommend Stepping Stones to any parents in a heartbeat. My little boy has been attending since he was around 9-months-old and he is now 4. He has amazing attachments to lots of the staff, speaks very highly of the catering manager (and has repetitively told me that my cooking isn’t as good as hers!), and loves all of the activities that he gets to do. He has such an amazing imagination, which is encouraged by the nursery staff, who I feel really know him and his quirks.

August 2, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has attended this nursery since he was 6-months-old and is now due to have his last day (at nearly 5-years-old). Throughout the entire time, he has been attending this nursery, the care he has received has been exceptional. The staff make a real effort to get to know and understand your little one (and all of their quirks). For example, my son had a comforter, and they were sure to remember the comforters name and when he was likely to need it. As a single mum (and this is my first child), the nursery staff have always supported me in supporting the needs of my child too, providing extra advice and guidance when I need it, and even supporting me with external referrals. Every day that I drop him off, I know that he is being cared for, loved and supported. It’s extremely easy to book additional sessions when I need them, and the nursery grounds are well kept and secure. Highly recommend this nursery!

August 2, 2021 at 12:00 amThese wonderful people have taken care of my son since he was 6-months-old and have helped him develop into a confident and articulate young boy. All the staff are very professional, and there is a warm, family environment throughout each stage. I am very pleased we found this nursery and will be sending any of our future children here.

August 2, 2021 at 12:00 amMy child has recently started this nursery last week, and the staff have been so helpful in settling her into the room and giving her plenty of cuddles to make her feel better.
They have been taking pictures for me to see how she has been throughout the day and always call me if they need to ask me something. All my child has known is lockdown, so I was very shocked to see how she has settled in so well to the nursery.
Thank you to all staff who look after her; your extra effort doesn’t go unnoticed.

August 3, 2021 at 12:00 amThe communication from the nursery is brilliant as they regularly update you on the progress your child makes.
I am pleased with how the children are encouraged to be independent and the different activities they get involved in. Overall, everyone is genuinely friendly and welcoming.

August 4, 2021 at 12:00 amI don’t usually write reviews, but honestly, words cannot explain how thankful I am for the staff that was caring for my daughter for nearly 3-years here. My daughter was genuinely the girl that didn’t want to come home because she loved it so much here. She built a good relationship with pretty much all the staff members and learnt a lot indirectly through play. Every night she would come home and tell me all the exciting things she did and learnt and was so happy to go back the next day. I visited a lot of nurseries before finally deciding on Stepping Stones, and it was the best decision I made. I’ve recommended and will continue to recommend Stepping Stones Day Nursery.

August 4, 2021 at 12:00 amEven if because of a change of circumstances I had to move my son to another nursery, and even been short time there; it was a very helpful and very good experience for us. They help me with everything, as was all new for me, and my son had an amazing experience. He has more confidence now, interact a lot more; it has been very good for him. Massive thank you to all the team. They are brilliant.

August 5, 2021 at 12:00 amOur child had been with this nursery for about 3-years, and we always found that the staff were friendly and very professional. They looked after the special dietary needs of our little one and ensured she always interacted well with the other children. She has come on leaps and bounds in all forms of her development, and special planning has helped in areas she’s had issues with.

September 7, 2021 at 12:00 amWe don’t have enough words to say how professional, helpful and lovely the staff has been (two ladies, for example, are outstanding), but also how much positive impact this nursery has had on our daughter’s development. She was there as early as 7-months, and Stepping Stones has been fantastic, and we already tried another one before, so have a point of reference. Would definitely recommend it!

September 13, 2021 at 12:00 amWithin days, the staff knew my son so well. He’s now coming to the end of his third year now (sadly disrupted by Covid) and still loves it. The staff are professional and friendly and clearly love what they do. The environment and facilities are stimulating and changing. He has learnt so much more than I could ever teach him at home, and there is a clear attachment between him and the staff.

October 5, 2021 at 12:00 amStepping Stones Day Nursery Ltd has been fantastic. My daughter has really thrived here and we have been really pleased with the progress she has made. All the staff are fantastic, particularly in the yellow room. Everyone we have met has been attentive, helpful and has always put our daughters needs first. We are sad to be leaving but we are so glad we got the chance to experience the nursery.

November 1, 2021 at 12:00 amMy 3-year-old daughter joined Stepping Stones just before turning 1. The team has been amazing with her, and we are greatly thankful for their kindness to our little one. She absolutely loves going there every morning, and I am sure being in the nursery has helped her develop her self-esteem and knowledge of the world.

January 21, 2022 at 12:00 amStepping Stones is the first nursery for my two-year-old daughter. She loved it and was so happy there and leaned a lot. The staff are kind, friendly and always willing to help. We are very much pleased with their service and would highly recommend this nursery.

December 25, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has attended this nursey for 2 years nearly and it is exceptional in all areas such as cleanliness, variety of food offered (catered for individuals’ needs), activities and interaction with children, development strategies for individuals and most importantly the staff are amazing to say the least. My son has had an excellent time with Stepping Stones and I couldn’t thank the staff enough for all the time and effort they have given him and other children to help them in their development. Special thanks to one staff member who has been very attentive, caring and supportive to my child and another staff member for her support with the referral to Speech and Language Therapy.

January 6, 2023 at 12:00 amStepping Stones is one of the excellent nurseries. Especially for the bigger children, it’s the best place to start. We are very happy and very satisfied with the way they treated our son and highly recommend Stepping Stones Day Nursery. From top to bottom, everyone is really very helpful, friendly and very caring of children.
Our son was very fussy about eating, but after joining the nursery, he started eating, and we have seen so many changes in him, including behaviour.
Our son settled so quickly and made attachments with staff, and that credit goes to all of the Stepping Stones team, who always stand at the doorstep with a warm welcome.
I must say, one member of staff is very good with communication, (email etc) for your information.
At the reception, the ladies are always there with smiling faces to help you either with the paperwork or something else.
We are really thankful to everyone who looked after our son and gave him a great start.

March 20, 2023 at 12:00 amFirstly, I would like to leave some feedback following the Mother’s Day stay and play session yesterday morning. The staff in the red room are brilliant; you can really see that they work well as a team. Everyone was engaging with the children, and it was nice to see how included each child was during drinks time and singing and sitting together. I am very impressed and happy to know how familiar each staff member is with my child, considering he only does two mornings a week at the moment. I am also very pleased with his transition from the baby room and how friendly the staff are that still work there. As a first-time mum, I am very happy with the care he receives whilst at nursery; he is always welcomed at the start of the session, so please pass this on to both baby room and red room staff members!

May 26, 2023 at 12:00 amI visited a few nurseries prior to Stepping Stones; however, I knew straight away this was the nursery for my son! Absolutely brilliant! The staff are incredibly supportive. My child’s needs were met and attended to! The nursery is hygienic and clean. I could not have asked for a better experience for myself and my child.

August 7, 2023 at 12:00 amOur time at Stepping Stones Day Nursery has been a truly wonderful experience, filled with love, learning, and growth of our child. Throughout the time our little one spent at the nursery, we have been consistently impressed and deeply grateful for the exceptional care, attention, and education provided by the dedicated team of teachers and staff. The progress and growth, we have witnessed in our child over the months have been nothing short of remarkable. Thank you Stepping Stones Day Nursery team. Keep Shining!

August 21, 2023 at 12:00 amOur child has been at the Stepping Stones Day Nursery for three years since he was one year old. Our experience has been very positive, and we feel confident leaving him at the nursery. They provide fresh, delicious, and healthy food, the facilities are excellent, and staff are friendly and approachable. I would like to thank all the staff and the managing director for all their help, support, and kindness. Overall Stepping Stones is a caring environment and I can’t recommend it more.
