Overview

Stepping Stones Day Nursery & Preschool is the culmination of more than thirty years of experience in childcare and education. As the owner and Manager, and as a mother of four grown up children and four grandchildren, I understand that starting nursery is a huge milestone for both you and your child and we at Stepping Stones strive to make this time as enjoyable as possible.​Our Reggio Emelia Inspired approach follows an educational philosophy based on child-centred, experience-led learning. The principles of personal responsibility, respect for others and the environment and a strong sense of community are the foundation by which the children explore and discover through an individualised curriculum. ​Alongside this, the ‘Planning In The Moment’ method is used by our skilled practitioners to scaffold the children’s learning and ensures that the majority of time is spent engaging with the children rather than with paperwork!​Within our nursery we provide healthy, balanced and nutritious meals, snacks and drinks throughout the day. We also provide equally nutritious vegetarian options and cater for special dietary requirements, religious/cultural preferences and food allergies.
