My daughter has been attending Key Steps since she was 10 months old and we could not be happier with the care she receives. The staff working in the baby room, really are special and make me feel so at ease when leaving my daughter there. I feel like they truly care about her, and what they do day to day, which is a positive difference from other day nurseries we've experienced. She's always so happy to go in, it's actually difficult getting her to leave at the end of the day! We're looking forward to seeing the rest of her journey as she moves up through the rooms!

It is a fantastic nursery, our son was so happy there and the care and attention he got from the staff was amazing. We always felt that he was in safe hands. Great facilities, great resources, delicious food and an incredible team of staff. We are very sad to say goodbye. I would highly recommend Key Steps to anyone.

Picking the right nursery for your little one is so important and we definitely made the right choice with Key Steps. The staff are so friendly, the meals are full of variety and freshly cooked. The office/management team are amazing too and are quick to respond to any questions you may have. Brilliant team and the perfect environment for the little ones!

My son started Key Steps in September and since being there I have seen him thrive in the environment they have created. The staff are wonderful, caring, and attentive. The whole nursery goes above and beyond and we recently enjoyed a 'Stay and Play' where we were able to meet other parents and get to know some of the other babies. He is fed so well from a fantastic menu and all the staff truly seem to know him and his ways. Transparency and communication is so important as a parent and it is certainly a strength at Key Steps.

There is nowhere else in the world we'd leave our little boy with, Key Steps is absolutely wonderful. All of the staff are just the most caring and loving people who look after our son day in, and day out! They do such a fantastic job, we are in total awe of what they do. All the children are involved in so many wonderful activities every single day, often season projects, age-appropriate learning, and brilliant messy play! We adore seeing everything they get up to via photos on the app, fun and exciting updates face-to-face at pickup, and of course, the little projects they proudly come home with - always getting pride of place on the fridge! Thank you to everyone who looks after our son, especially his incredible key workers, and fabulous office team who are always happy to help no matter what! The trust and love we have for all the staff is unmatchable and that is down to their amazing culture, professionalism, and kind hearts, they truly love looking after children. Thank you for everything you do!

Our 10-month-old daughter has been attending Key Steps for a couple of months now and absolutely loves it. The staff are so lovely and genuinely care about her and her well-being. I was apprehensive about leaving her at a nursery as I started back to work after maternity leave, but the team at Key Steps was so supportive and made it so much easier. She has gained so much confidence already, and they do learning activities with her that I never would have thought of. The staff keeps the app updated and frequently sends me pictures of her having fun at nursery, which is always the highlight of my day at work. We feel very lucky to have such a lovely nursery just down the road. Thank you Key Steps!

Key Steps is a fantastic nursery! All team members are lovely and they all genuinely care about the children and are very approachable, for both children and parents! They put in so much effort to make sure the children have so many activities on offer and tailor them to support their learning and development. I feel so comfortable leaving my son at nursery as I know that he is safe, cared for and extremely well-fed (they have a fantastic and varied nutritional menu for the children). My son loves this nursery and always has a smile on his face when he is there.

Key Steps have been extremely helpful over the last 3 years my son has been going. They have been very supportive in different situations. My son loves coming to nursery and I am so glad he settled in as well as he has.

I can't believe how well my little one has settled into nursery and the quality of care he receives. He is 9 months old and has been there for over a month now. As our parenting style is pretty gentle (feeding to sleep etc) I was apprehensive about how he would nap or feed at nursery, but he has been welcomed in by the staff and looked after so well that he naps every day, takes a bottle from them and has never cried when I hand him over! The staff are professional, kind and caring, and work with you to ease them into the nursery at the pace that works for you. So happy that we were able to join the Key Steps family!

My son loves coming here. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and cannot do enough for you. My little boy has thrived since starting here and we couldn’t be happier! The food is good quality and healthy and my little boy always talks about what he eats in a day. The app makes it so easy to see what he’s been up to!
19 March 2024
After my first child, who is now at school, attended Key Steps Day Nursery, I knew immediately that I wanted my youngest child to also be cared for by them too whilst I go to work. All the staff have such a kind and caring approach towards the child and the parents too and will do their utmost to make sure your child is happy. Staff will always listen and take on board any concerns that you may have about anything. The rooms are bright and they have some wonderful toys and learning activities to stimulate your child. The children have lots of outside playtime and opportunities to go on walks. Meals are always varied and food is always freshly cooked. I couldn’t be happier with the care that my child receives. Thank you.

We have been sending our son to Key Steps since he was nine months old. He settled in really quickly and absolutely loves it there. All of the staff are wonderful. Meals, snacks and nappies being included in the day rate is good value for money makes life a lot easier for us. The opening hours allow me to be flexible with my work pattern and its great being able to use the app to see what he’s up to throughout the day. Can’t recommend Key Steps highly enough.

Getting my son a place at Key Steps Nursery was such a good decision! He hasn’t been there long, but I’ve been so impressed with the care he receives there. The staff are always friendly when I pop in and are more than happy to fill me in on how his day has been. The communication is great from management too. They have taken my son’s food allergies seriously and I feel totally assured by this, he always eats well and has plenty of nutritious meals and snacks. The staff really helped him to settle in at the start and took his lead, this meant he felt comfortable napping and exploring in no time! I know he has loads of fun there and I have total peace of mind when I drop him off. Overall, I’ve been really pleased with Key Steps!

This nursery goes above and beyond for the children and the parents. The experiences the children have had is so wholesome, fun and educational. From a visit from the dentist, so he wasn’t afraid when he went for his first appointment, to going on a bear hunt and holding exotic pets. The staff are amazing and just having happy, smiley staff at morning drop-offs make it a much better, lighter start to the day. The nursery is always clean and tidy (as much as you’d expect from a setting with 40-odd children!) and the kids eat better than I do! My son makes me get up in the morning and out of bed so he can go to nursery - can’t get a better review than that!

Key Steps is one of the best nurseries in the Cotswolds. Not only has my daughter learned a lot during her time there, she is also becoming a well-rounded, friendly child. The staff are all fantastic and the management team are quick and efficient with any questions or queries I might have. If you’re unsure where to send your children, opt for Key Steps and you won’t be disappointed.

I cannot rate Key Steps highly enough. Since the day our son has been there, they have been amazing, putting my worries at ease and caring for my son like he’s one of their own. Every member of staff is incredible; they go above and beyond every day. They give amazing handovers at the end of the day, and our son loves going in every day without even looking behind! He’s so comfortable with all the staff and is thriving. The support you get as a parent is amazing and supports any routines you have at home. I will forever recommend Key Steps.

We couldn’t be happier with the support and care that our son receives each day that he is at Key Steps. Staff are happy, friendly and care about providing the children with great experiences. Communication is great, as is the time and effort put into creating healthy meals for the children. Our son is so happy each morning when we pull up outside and when we pick him up in the evening - this tells us everything we need to know!

Superbly run nursery, happy staff, amazing food menu and most importantly a very happy little boy attending every day. Facilities are great with loads of toys, access to a really safe outside space and lots of activities for the children.

Our child has thrived since starting at Key Steps Day Nursery in Autumn last year, and we couldn't be happier. When we were viewing nurseries in the area last Spring we got a great feeling from Key Steps. The nursery environment is light, airy and bright, but also has lovely calming areas for the children to relax/sleep. The staff are incredible, so welcoming, kind, caring and nothing ever feels too much trouble. The staff genuinely care about the children and their wellbeing and development, and the communication is fantastic. The menus always look delicious and nutritional, and with lots of variety. The staff have been so accommodating and careful with our son's food allergies, and he gets as equally delicious meals, using the most nutritionally appropriate dairy-free alternatives which is so reassuring. We really can't sing the praises of the nursery enough and would really encourage all prospective families to visit if you are looking for a warm, nurturing environment for your child.

We have been really impressed with Key Steps since our son joined 4 months ago. The staff are amazing and have really helped him settle in well. His development has also come along loads since starting. All staff are really friendly and caring which gives me piece of mind that he is in safe hands.
