Tom and Finn's whanau

"Stepping stones is an amazing centre with incredible staff. It is a safe and loving environment where everyone feels like family. Nothing is an issue and any special requests never seem to be a problem."

Harper's whanau

"Stepping Stones is an inclusive environment that work on developing the whole child. They work alongside parents and whanau in a supportive environment with the needs of the child at the forefront. As a first time mum, finding the right centre to place your child is daunting. Those fears disappeared as soon as I met Debbie and the team. My son is so happy and every day brings new experiences. He has flourished and will continue to do so with their care and expertise. Although the primary focus is on childcare the team at Stepping Stones genuinely car about the whole whanau."

Willem's whanau

"Stepping Stones is such an awesome environment you walk through the door and feel the love from everyone. Knowing your child will be loved and looked after by amazing people truely makes it easier to leave them there, that true home away from home.

Ashton's whanau

"I am so proud to tell people that my son goes to Stepping Stones! Finding somewhere where the safety and well-being of my baby was just as important to them as it is to me was a must and I found that at SS. I love sending my son to daycare knowing that he is so loved and well looked after there, it's a major bonus that all the staff care about the whole family too not just our babies, much love and appreciation to all our Stepping Stones whanau!"

"Stepping Stones has provided care for two of our tamariki. Our whanau felt welcomed by the staff who became our second whanau, always willing to listen, korero and offer a cuppa to add that homely touch. We really appreciated our time with them. Our tamariki felt a strong sense of belonging, gained special friendships and were always encouraged to be curious, confident and independent. Ngā mihi nui Stepping Stones. "

Poppy's whanau

"My son and I have enjoyed our time at Stepping Stones Learning Environment, before he graduated for school. The teaching staff supported his learning through, engaging with whanau, creating active activities and play. Achieving his goals, that was discussed and set with myself and teachers."
