Stepping Stones Day Nursery

I can’t recommend Stepping Stones nursery enough for a home from home environment. We have experienced pressure free settling in sessions and an abundance of communication and care for both of our little ones. The staff are extremely engaged in their roles and provide an atmosphere of calmness, creativity and kindness, not to mention true home cooked food that put us to shame! As a mummy that worried about separation - I am grateful for the support shown to parents too. I receive photos, videos, art /craft work and detailed reports, which help so much with feeling a connection to their day whilst apart. We feel lucky to be part of the Stepping Stones family.

Both our boys have been through stepping stones with our youngest still there and it was the easiest and best decision we have ever made regarding their childcare needs. The nursery has such a lovely homely feel where you are instantly made to feel part of a family which we love. All the staff are amazing, friendly and welcoming. Both boys have developed so much through attending stepping stones and we particularly love the curiosity approach which our boys have really taken too. We fully recommend this nursery.

Incredible place for kids to grow. Wonderful family environment and incredible staff.

my eldest daughter came to the nursery and is now 8. my youngest has joined and I still couldnt be any happier with everything. All the staff are amazing and it really is like one huge family. the setting itself has everything you could want from a beautiful garden that can be used through all weathers and amazing sensory room to name a few. there is always different activities set up for the children to play that have an element of development ideas incorporated in there. my youngest had a few issues with being left (covid baby syndrome) and she now has got 100% better with this as well as improved speech, again just to name a few personal improvements. the food provided is amazing and is all cooked on site and has also helped broaden my little ones tastes.again I couldnt praise the staff enough, they are all amazing, friendly and so understanding. they will always have time to hear any concerns you may have regarding anything.I was amazed that the staff remembered myself and my eldest daughter which just shows how much of a family atmosphere there is here. we always feel truly loved everytime we enter the building. so a massive thank you to everyone!

Wonderful, caring and nurturing environment for learning. My daughter comes home happy every day and never fails to amaze me with the inventive games, crafts and tasks that have been created for her and her classmates. The staff go the extra mile always. I would recommend highly without hesitation.

Sending my daughter to Stepping Stones was an easy decision! The staff are fantastic, professional, friendly and approachable!My toddler's life skills have come on incredibly since being with this nursery!She's not the easiest child in the world, but she is given all the love and confidence building, she could want whilst in their care!

Our little boy started at Stepping Stones when he was 9 months old and has loved it from the start. The staff are so lovely and provide a great range of activities including lots of sensory play. We feel that staff really listen and go above and beyond for the kids in their care. We looked at lots of different nursery’s in the area and Stepping Stones really stood out to us as being welcoming with a family feel which is all down to the amazing staff who work there. We can’t recommend enough.

Stepping Stones is a lovely homely setting where children can flourish. Both of my children have grown massively in confidence there and that is down to the caring, supportive staff. I chose Stepping Stones for both of my children to go to because I love how it supports children's curiosity and imagination❤️

This nursery stood out by a mile compared to all the other nurseries in Totton we visited as parents and that I have been to as a Year R teacher. The staff are incredible. So intuitive, caring and passionate. When my first child started at 10 months in the baby room they were so amazing and he settled so quickly. The bonds his key worker and all the staff built with him have lasted to this day, and he loves to check in with them when collecting his younger sister after achool. When he moved downstairs into the pre-school room, again he settled so well as they do transitions fantastically! Through the excellent learning opportunities they provide and the learning they facilitate, my son confidently, successfully and happily transitioned to school. Our daughter currently attends the pre-school room and we have had the same exceptional experience! Any issues have been dealt with appropriately and promptly, they always ask parent for feedback and are constantly improving their practice and setting. We are so grateful to the amazing staff for enriching our children's lives. I couldn't recommend Stepping Stones more!

Love Stepping Stones Nursery, both of our girls have been and go there! Amazing staff, lovely environment!! Excellent x
