Next Steps Childcare Centre

We were so lucky to be able to send our son to Next Steps, this place is an absolute gem!Everyone is extremely helpful, friendly, our son has never complained and neither can we. The team works together and children develop all sorts of skills during their time here. They go for walks, play in the forest school, cook, bake, yoga, learn about different aspects of life, careers and develop great friendships.We definitely recommend this setting and would really like to thank everyone for their kind and caring ways.

Our daughter started attending Next Steps when she was just 18 months old, and over the years, it has been an absolute joy to witness her growth, development, and most importantly, her genuine happiness during her time there. We feel fortunate to have found such a nurturing and supportive environment that has contributed so positively to our daughter's early years.

A great preschool with a brilliant team!Our son thoroughly enjoys going to preschool and shares his daily experiences ranging from walks to the bandstand, forest school, yoga, cooking and crafts.A big thank you to Sally and the team!

My daughter has been going to Next Steps since January 2022 and she has been so happy since she joined. I have used many nurseries and childminders since having children and Next Steps is a brilliant nursery. The nursery staff are so friendly, welcoming and nurturing, and we’ve been so happy with the care they have given. They really supported our daughter to explore more foods and she has grown in confidence since being there. The children do a range of activities in pre-school such as arts and crafts, yoga, cooking classes, and play in 2 of their gardens. The children get to explore the bath and west showground; a highlight for the children is walking to the band stand and having hot chocolate. My daughter has made such good relationships and friends at Next Steps and she will be sad to leave them when she goes to school soon. We actively recommend this nursery and we’ll be sending our toddler son there soon. Thank you to all the amazing staff.

Highly recommended Next Steps Childcare ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Our daughter started not long after the lockdown restrictions eased and has loved every session. Not only is there the benefit of the centre being open all year round, the staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and provide excellent care to the children.There is always so much to kept little minds engaged and happy, from arts & crafts, story telling, role play, forest school, class walks, cooking sessions & yoga too!Parents are regularly kept informed of their child’s development and progress from in person parent evenings to monthly focus sheets which gives parents the opportunity see topics being covered, as well as things we can do at home to continue the learning and development with our children.The Preschool, and Sally Apple in particular, are an absolute gem and true credit to the setting.We cannot thank her and her team enough for everything they have done for our daughter. They have really helped to boost her confidence in a group setting which has resulted in her making a core group of friends.Sally has also been brilliant with supporting our family with our daughter’s fussy eating habits to the point she now has a much more varied diet and is willingly exploring new foods, tastes and textures.We will miss everyone at Next Steps greatly when the time comes to move onto big school in September.

A really lovely nursery. Run by really warm, caring and kind nursery workers who really take the time to get to know the children. At drop off and pick up my son has a big smile on his face- what more could a parent want?

My daughter joined the nursery aged nearly four this year following a move from London and I can't praise the staff or facilities enough. This is a loving and nurturing environment where the staff use great imagination to create learning opportunities. The outside areas are wonderful and I really appreciate the Forest School approach. Particular shout out to Sally Apple, manager of the pre-school Kangeroos class, who is universally adored by all the children.
