👋 What is your role at the nursery?
I'm a Level 3 Practitioner in our Baby Room and have been part of the Stepping Stones family for over 25 years.

❤️ What do you love most about working with young children?
I love the bonds that I have with the children, it's so special. I love being there for their first steps, words and nothing beats having a child come over to you smiling for a hug.

🧘‍♀️ What is your favourite activity to do with the children?
I enjoy messy activities such as painting, gloop etc. It's always lovely to see children who were wary about the activity at first getting stuck in and getting messy.

The sweetest is always when a child recognises me and says my name.

🦸‍♀️ If you had a nursery superpower, what would it be?
To be able to click my fingers and everything is clean and tidy.

I love spending time with my family I love reading and going book shopping to add to my own library at home.

10 year anniversary ⭐️

Today we're celebrating a special milestone as our Nursery Manager, Clare, marks 10 years at Stepping Stones 🥂.

Clare joined the team in 2016, bringing with her a wealth of knowledge and experience in Early Years education. Looking for a new challenge closer to home, she wanted to use her expertise to support the children and families in her local community.

Over the last decade, Stepping Stones has grown from strength to strength. Through investment in the nursery, extensive renovations, the expansion of our amazing staff team and a forward-thinking approach to Early Years education, we've become one of the most in-demand nurseries in the Roundhay area.

For many families, Clare is the first person they meet at Stepping Stones. She's approachable, knowledgeable and always takes the time to get to know every family, offering reassurance and support from the very beginning. Her genuine care for every child is evident in everything she does, and she's always there to support not just the children, but the whole family.

Known to many as 'Auntie Clare' - a nickname that began when her own nieces attended the nursery, she has become a familiar and trusted figure to hundreds of children and families over the years.

Thank you, Clare, for 10 years of dedication, leadership and commitment to the children, families and team at Stepping Stones. We're proud to have you leading our nursery ♥️.

Ain't no party like a party! 🎉

Our oldest children stayed behind after nursery for a very special School Leavers Disco with the amazing 🕺✨.

The outfits were brilliant, the music was amazing, and everyone showed off their best dance moves… even the staff! 💃

A huge thank you to Faye for giving our children such a fun and memorable send-off.

What a lovely way to celebrate this special milestone 🫶🏼.

What a brilliant day we had at Sports Day! 🏅

A huge thank you to Gledhow Social Club for letting us use their field – it's the perfect place for all the fun.

The children had a great time taking part in lots of different activities, including races, relays and tug of war. It was lovely to see everyone cheering each other on and having so much fun.

A big thank you to all our parents and families for coming along to support the children, and an extra shout-out to everyone who joined in the parents' race- you were all fantastic! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Pride Month ✨🌈

Throughout June, we have been celebrating Pride Month with our children through fun, meaningful, and age-appropriate activities.

The children have been learning about the importance of love, kindness, inclusion, and respecting what makes every person unique.

Through stories, discussions, creative activities, and play, they explored that all families are special and everyone deserves to feel welcomed, valued, and included.

Our Pride Party was a wonderful opportunity for the children to celebrate together, get creative, and develop their understanding of diversity and equality.

We are proud to create an inclusive nursery environment where every child feels a sense of belonging. 💖
