Our Summary
About Us
DO YOU NEED QUALITY CHILDCARE WITH A DIFFERENCE ?
We are the very FIRST nursery in Dudley to become an ACCREDITED "Curiosity Approach" setting.
We encourage our children to play and learn with real resources, this means that we have moved away from a nursery full of plastic toys. For example you will see real pots and pans and ceramic tea sets - we have created a real home from home feel to our nursery that your children will love. Our children love the outdoors too, they grow their own carrots, tomatoes and even potatoes.
We provide quality childcare and education for children 8 weeks up to 12 years old.
We understand how important this decision is for you as a parent and we would like to reassure you that our team of knowledgeable, dedicated and friendly staff will help you every step of the way and they will be able to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Pop in for a visit.

Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
I cannot praise this Nursery enough for their efforts. All the staff are approachable, friendly, caring and go beyond.
My daughter had been to previous nurseries to this one but I was never one hundred percent happy until she attended Early Steps.
Being in the childcare sector myself, I found everything I wanted for my daughter at this Nursery.
She was happy from week one when she previously had not settled at other nurseries. She has formed strong , working relationships with staff and they really made her security and confidence a priority.Also, I especially liked how this nursery uses the curiosity approach.
The learning environment and activities are both engaging and based on individuals interests.
Most importantly the children their feel safe , happy and secure.

I genuinely can't fault the staff and service at Early Steps, Dudley. My little boy has been going there since he was one. He's now 19 months old and the progress he has made over those 7 months has been phenomenal. He absolutely loves it there! when I go through the staff members names of a morning with him, he gets all excited about getting to the door to see which friendly member of staff will greet him that morning. He walks straight in without a care in the world, because he absolutely loves it there! he sometimes doesn't even want to leave!! He goes 5 days a week, full time. The staff are very helpful, caring and really supportive. All members of staff are approachable and I feel like they genuinely care about my son which is a great relief! They are happy to chat at the door, on the phone, or over email about your child. They are always happy to help and you never feel like you're bothering them! The Nursery is clean, tidy and Covid safe. Best nursery in the area, by far!

My son Reggie has recently started attending Early Steps Nursery Dudley and we cannot be happier! The staff are really friendly and he has progressed so much in the last 3 months in considering he was in lockdown the whole time before he is now interacting with staff and other children lovely. Would highly recommend!
