"Thank you, our two daughters will always have special memories of Stepping Stones!"
My son has developed so much during his time at nursery, his social and communication skills especially, together with pretend play using his imagination and recognition of numbers, he also speaks very highly of the staff working with him!
Very professional and efficient, I felt my daughter was safe in your care
My daughter began attending this nursery just after the first lockdown of 2020. The staff have gone above and beyond to help her settle during difficult circumstances. She absolutely loves nursery. The care and thought that goes into what they deliver is exceptional. The communication is exceptional, I always have a response the same day. The attention to detail in the variety crafts we receive at home are superb. They're even laminated so they don't get damaged. I feel that they really know and consider my daughter as an individual, which is so important to me as she develops. There are countless little thoughtful ways that they make the service they provide amazing. I couldn't recommend it more highly.
"She has loved the staff who have taken care of her at every stage, as well as the range of skills and activities she has experienced"
Thank you for the time you have cared for both our children, they have enjoyed nursery and we have felt very confident and secure with the care they have received over the past 4 years, my children are prepared for school and have developed good social skills whilst in your care. We think you are a brilliant team and are very grateful for everything you have done.
You have given my daughter a great start to her experience in a classroom environment and she's developed some lovely relationships
