& has staff whom have a wealth of experience when working with all children & their families
It also has tried & & tested methods that have been developed over the years this outstanding approach has nurtured all children who have passed through the doors of " stepping stones playgroup" therefore it is my belief that this much needed facility should remain open for years to come to continue to serve the children & families of our community .

So I had no hesitation's where I was going to send my daughter once it was her time to go to a playschool. I trusted Carol 100% and Carol and her team didn't let me down. My daughter had an amazing time the 2 years she was there. I didn't want to move her up to the nursery when she became the right age as I knew she was happy where she was and I didn't fancy her wearing a school uniform at such a young age, I preferred to keep her a young child for as long as possible.
She came on leaps and bounds with her language, numbers and social skills. It would be such a shame to see Stepping Stones close as I consider it the best facility for pre-schooling in the area.

The Playgroup serves the local community and gives young children the confidence to leave and go on to "the big school across the playground" as my daughter called it. The Playgroup needs to remain in the environs of the school and perhaps the "Drop In Centre" which was not welcomed by the local community should be the one to move.
