I would highly recommend Stepping Stones Nursery Stockton Heath. My daughter has attended for the last two years and is so settled and happy there. The staff go above and beyond to care, support and teach the children and it is lovely to see how much they genuinely enjoy caring for the children on a
day to day basis.
My daughter is always engaged in the different activities they offer and has learnt so much in terms of behavior and social skills. Another thing that sets this nursery apart is the commitment of the manager, she knows all the children and parents so well and is able to give each family personal information on their child, even though she isn’t in the rooms all of the time. I look forward to my little boy starting in a few months time!

We have loved nursery since starting. All staff are attentive to our children's needs. When our children have been unsettled, they have worked with us and how we want to address things has been taken onboard.
There was a period of unrest with staff departures and reshuffling, but the nursery has always
tried their best to resolve this and ensure children were happy. This nursery is now back to where it was and our children are thriving.
I think they could have a revamp of their outdoor areas and inside, a good paint.

Reply from Joe, Central Support at Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Stockton Heath

Hi, thank you for your lovely review and feedback regarding the facilities.
As you'll hopefully have noticed, we are in process of a full repainting job at nursery. We hope parents are happy with the work that has already taken place at nursery.
We are also excited to start a full back garden redesign which should be completed in November 2023. I know the staff and children can't wait to see how the new garden will look!
We really appreciate parent feedback so please don't hesitate to share any further suggestions or ideas to ourselves at central support or to the nursery team.
Thank you for your continued support.

My child settled in quickly and has excelled at her time in this nursery.
She has built great relationships with staff and children during her time at Stepping Stones who have contributed to her learning.
The structure of the day means she’s never bored or looking for activities to do, she is always
exhausted after a busy nursery day!

My little boy (2) has been at this nursery for about a year now and has never been happier in a childcare setting. The staff are excellent at communicating and he’s developed a lovely bond with the girls in his room. He has established a great routine there and really enjoys going, as they are always
organising themed days and opportunities to learn and explore through play. The setting is lovely, they have nice gardens for the children to play in and well-kept equipment. Any times we’ve had any queries about our child or concerns about his development, the staff and management have been excellent at communicating with us, reassuring us and liaising with the health visitor. Thank you to all the girls at Stepping Stones!

Wouldn’t recommend a better nursery. My son went here and now my daughter. Amazing staff are always really friendly and I trust the girls with my daughter, she settled in straight away on her first day and I didn’t have any worries.

Our child is generally very happy and flourishing in her placement. Staff tell us about her day and food intake and inform us about accidents promptly. She has made lots of friends and is always happy when we pick her up. I feel, particularly for the baby room, other nurseries seem to offer more info
(online/via app) on the child's progress which lots of parents would prefer such as photos/ info on naps/food/activities. The parent app on offer currently doesn't seem to offer much.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.881)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.881) out of 10 for Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Stockton Heath is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.881 for Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Stockton Heath is calculated as follows: ( (279 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.881

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Stepping Stones Day Nursery - Stockton Heath is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
