Admission Policy

Stepping Stones operates an equal opportunities policy and each child will be admitted on the basis of availability of adequate places, regardless of race, colour, religion, disability, gender or any other prejudice.

Stepping Stones operates as a healthy eating setting, snacks given will be healthy and we ask parents providing lunch to provide a balanced lunchbox.

Parents or guardians will be expected to complete a contract, stating the number of sessions required by the child per week and also outlining any special arrangements to be noted.

Stepping Stones offers private Full-Day Care for children aged 3 months to 11 years old

As an Approved day nursery we are able to obtain funding for your child from Early Years Education Provision in the term after they are 3 years old. We are also happy to accept childcare vouchers.

Fees are payable on a monthly basis by invoice and all booked sessions must be paid.
Stepping Stones currently operates all year, except for the week between the 24th Dec and 2nd Jan – children can take a two week holiday at half rate if required. Four weeks written notice is required of cancellation of your contract.
There is a discount for second children of 10% (this will be taken off the lowest invoice.)
