Early Years
Stepping Stones Day Nursery & Pre-School provides a fun, loving and stimulating place for children to spend time in. . It has 3 separate rooms – The Owl Room for babies up to 24 months, The Hedgehog Room for toddlers from 2 to 3 years and The Squirrel Room which is our Pre-School Learning Centre for children aged 3 to 5 years. The Pre-School Learning Centre is a dedicated area where children are introduced to a more structured routine and activities where we work with the children to get them ready for school.
Warm Welcome
We greet all the children as they arrive at the nursery and when they get to their rooms there will be a familiar, friendly face waiting to welcome them. Each child will have their own personal peg to hang their belongings on and a Key Person who will get to know them very well. We pride ourselves on providing a warm, loving and homely environment, and at the same time making sure that the rooms are inviting and exciting for the children to explore.
Staff
The nursery is run by a supernumerary Manager, Tracy Dixon, and her Deputy, Karla Atter. Each room has its own Supervisor who, together with her team of practitioners, ensure that the environment and opportunities for learning is always fun-filled and stimulating for your child. They will also keep you informed about your child's progress and development.
Outside
Outside, we have dedicated areas for Babies, Toddlers and Pre-School children designed to reflect the areas we have inside and provide the children with a range of opportunities to explore and learn in a larger scale. Our outdoor spaces allow the children to play and explore with more freedom and space, encouraged by our enthusiastic practitioners. There is also a specially designed area where we run our Forest School sessions. These sessions run for 3 hours on a weekly basis, led by a fully qualified Forest School Practitioner.
We are very proud of our nursery and we invite you and your child to come and see what we have to offer. To arrange a visit please call us on 01476 593643 or email us at stepstonesgrantham@headstartnurseries.co.uk. Your visit will be a good introduction for you and your child to our facilities and our homely and nurturing environment.
