The New Stepping Stones Playgroup

This is a fantastic playgroup (morning nursery). The staff is kind, knowledgeable and supportive. Most of the teachers are mature ladies who have a lot of experience and are mums themselves which give them that extra understanding when it comes to dealing wirh little ones and their parents. There is a good size garden for the kids to play and the staff always come up with a varied program of activities and games all year round. From my experience as a mum of 3, I believe this nursery is one of the best of its kind in the local area.

This is an amazing nursery and you should snap up a slot if you are lucky enough to get one! Both my older daughter and then my son went to New Stepping Stones; and my son is now about to start school. The nursery could not have done more to create a loving and stimulating environment. The facilities are really good, and getting better every year (they now have programable robots, outdoor mud kitchen, a dedicated room for drama, yoga and dance, and a great new climbing frame). But it is the care of the staff that makes it so special. They were extremely patient with my son who was quite a handful at first. They tailored his activities to stretch him and bring out his interests; and by engaging with him with love and care, brought him out of his shell. He was transformed from being rather problematic to being full of joy and enthusiasm for nursery and learning more generally. I can't thank the staff enough for what they did for both my children, and I feel it was a brilliant experience and very positive preparation for school.
