2023 - 2024

"My son has really enjoyed his time at Stepping Stones. After looking through his profile with him he was very excited to tell me all about the events he has taken part in this year. He especially enjoyed his adventures at Wildspace and we've had some lovely performances at home of all the songs you've taught him. He is very fond of all the staff. he's spoken about all of you at home. It's lovely you are all so approachable and you've kept me informed of any improvements you've seen. I'm so happy with the progress he's made and with all your time and efforts to help him. We will both miss you all. A special thank you to Sharon for being an amazing key worker to both my boys during their time at Stepping Stones."

 

"My daughter had the best time at pre-school from the very first day she has been excited to go and exhausted afterwards! The whole team have made her feel welcome and have included her in all aspects of school. She has been allowed to work at her own pace whilst being challenged to achieve her best. We have seen her grow in confidence around other children and this has shown outside pre-school too! On a personal note, I have felt supported and included in all aspects of her time at pre-school. The staff have shown a great understanding in the challenges we face. We cant thank you enough for everything you have done for us and we feel well equipped for our new adventure at Meadowgate."

 

"My daughter has enjoyed every minute of being at pre-school and I think that is down to the great staff support team. There is not a day goes by where she is not wanting to go, she even asked to go at the weekends! I just want to thank you all for everything you've done for my daughter. Her confidence has grown so much since being with you all and she's really come out of herself. I just hope she enjoys school as much as she has here at Stepping Stones so THANK YOU! There is nothing you could improve on - You all do a great job!"

 

"My son has enjoyed his time at Stepping Stones. His confidence has become a lot stronger and he is ready for school. He hasn't been upset about going to pre-school which is so nice to see when dropping him off. We really like the children's profiles at Stepping Stones, it's so nice to see everything written and all the photographs  (to keep forever - I still have my daughters). A massive thank you for everything you have done for my son during his time with you. 

 

2024 - 2025

"Our daughter has been made to feel safe and happy at pre-school. The staff have clearly identified the areas she needs to work on and have supported her to make progress in these areas. She has been able to flourish in the environment. We appreciate the vast array of opportunities the pre-school has provided  such as stay and plays and local trips. Pre-school has helped prepare my daughter for school in a gentle and encouraging way helping to make the transition as smooth as possible."

 

"The pre-school is amazing! Myself and my child have both loved the staff and her time there. She has learnt so much and became a very confident and independent social  child in her time here despite struggling with this beforehand. Her favourite things have included...Wildspace!! School trips and events such as Mothers Day lunch and Fathers day, Christmas party and the Jubilee party. We cant thank you enough for the support, love and kindness you have shown her in the last 18 months."

 

"For the very first time, I visited Stepping Stones I knew it was going to be perfect for my daughter. From that first day the staff were amazing with both my daughter and myself. I was a very anxious first time mum but all the staff members helped ease my anxieties throughout the year. My daughter has flourished whilst being in Stepping Stones. I can not remember a day where she hasn't come running out with a beaming smile on her face. The opportunities given to the children were brilliant, such as Wildspace sessions. Thank you for looking after the most precious thing in my world and being a big part of her life."
