At Stepping Stones we realise that as children start getting ready for school, they need extra learning opportunities to prepare them for the new learning environment they will be moving onto. We make sure each individual child is working to their full potential, by offering tailored learning and exciting activities that have been planned by our dedicated staff. We have a fantastic nurturing team that get to know how your children learn best and this gives them the best start to their learning journey.
