Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children develop independence skills effectively. They know the rules and routines of the setting. At snack time, children find their name card and place it on the table.
Activities: Staff deliver an interesting and well-targeted curriculum. For example, staff follow the children's interest in teeth and help them to learn about healthy lifestyles and oral health.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff use a range of strategies to help support children's speech. When appropriate, staff introduce new words to expand children's vocabulary.
Communication: Parents comment that their children have grown in confidence since attending. Staff inform parents what activities their children have done during the day. However, staff do not consistently share children's next steps of development with parents so they can continue to support their learning at home.
Programs and Resources: Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) effectively. They use a range of strategies to help children with SEND make progress.
Staff Training: Staff provide sensory activities to calm and relax children, such as watching and catching bubbles.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Staff engage them in interesting conversations. For example, they talk about what they had for breakfast.
Safeguarding Training: Staff know the signs and symptoms of possible abuse or neglect. They know which agencies to contact should they have a concern about a child's welfare.
Play and Learning Integration: Staff deliver an interesting and well-targeted curriculum. Children like to be outside. They make cupcakes with sand and feed the fish with staff.
Transition to Primary School: Leaders liaise with local schools. This supports the transition when children move on to their next stage of education.
Child Safety Management: Risk assessments are effective. Staff risk assess new garden equipment. They make daily checks before children use it to ensure it is safe.
Teaching Personal Safety: Staff teach children rules to follow when crossing the road, such as 'stop, look and listen'.
Happiness and Settling: Children feel safe and content. They happily wave goodbye to their parents and find their friends on arrival.

Our main objective is to make sure we offer the best daycare that is available, reasonably priced, and a place where kids want to be. We consider it essential.
Your kids are in a productive, well-maintained environment where they are safe, loved, and stimulated.
Above all else, we want your kids to graduate from Stepping Stones with the self-assurance and abilities to take on the challenges they'll face in school and beyond. We firmly think that we and the parents/caregivers must work together on this, and we will do all in our power to make that happen.
