Stepping Stones Classes

Pirate and Piskies Class

Ms Stacey, Mrs Gilsenan, Miss Hosking and Mrs Buckley would love to welcome you to our incredible pre-school classes. Piskie class is for our 2/3 year olds and Pirate Class is for our Pre-Schoolers.

Stepping Stones Nursery and Pre-School is a wonderful place for children to play and learn, taking part in engaging activities that interest them. 

Every child has a key worker. The key worker's role will be to develop trusting and supportive relationships with parents and children alike. The staff work in partnership with parents to help children learn and progress their development at their pace and following their interests. 

Our aim is to provide all children with a variety of enjoyable, meaningful learning experiences that will allow each individual child to thrive and grow. We have a wonderful setting with an incredible outdoor environment.

We are incredibly lucky to have an on site Forest School and specialist Forest School staff. The children get the opportunity to explore the Forest School once a week, learning new skills and having new experiences to help them flourish and gain confidence in the outdoor environment. 




Drawing Club

Drawing Club allows the children to experience a stories adventure with the concept to bring the world of story's to life. It will give the children the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of story and show them the joy of drawing. Teachers will get to share a treasure trove of vocabulary with children to open up the playground of language to them. It allows opportunity to develop children’s creativity and imagination to show them that they are extraordinary. The children will have there own drawing club book that they will use throughout the year and then will get to take home at the end of the year.

This will give your child a flying start with phonics. This programme has been developed in a range of settings by a range of practitioners. It incorporates the latest research about early language and literacy development so you can trust that your child is getting the very best start to developing a love of learning, and enhancing their communication skills.

Early Talk Boost 

Early Talk Boost is a targeted programme aimed at 3-4 year old children who need guidance and targeted support with talking and understanding words. Most importantly, the programme helps to boost their language skills and build confidence. The programme aims to accelerate children’s progress in language and communication by an average of 5 months after 9 weeks.

Tooth Brush Club

Big Brush Club, a service provided by At Home Dental, who are committed to improving children’s oral health. This brilliant supervised toothbrushing programme supports 3 to 5-year-olds attending reception, nursery, or preschool.

In accordance with the NHS’ supervised toothbrushing initiative, we support oral health in the classroom setting. The aim of the programme is for every child to brush their teeth with fluoride toothpaste once a day and ideally twice a day at home too! Teaching good brushing routines from an early age helps reduce oral health inequalities among children.
