Both my girls went to Step Up and I can give them nothing but praise. It’s got such a homely loving feel just want you want when your child is a bit hesitant to start pre school.
My girls always left happy and full of excitement about what they had done that day and I think it gave them the best start in their school life.
Would high recommend
I can’t praise this nursery enough, my little boy has been going since he was 2 years old. All the staff are professional, the environment is very warming and friendly the work they do is beyond amazing. My little boy loves going he can’t get enough. They have really helped bringing him on and it gives him that first step towards going to school, couldn’t ask for anything more.
My kids are always excited to go and always walk out happy. They love step up and never come home without telling us fun story’s.
Last few weeks they have had a fire engine visit and got to play inside. And met two police officers who talked them about what they do and showed them some of the clothing and equipment they use. My little girl was so excited when we collected her. She loves the staff and both kids can’t wait to get there.
Great place for kids and makes us happy knowing How much they love it.
I love my son attending step up pre-school, he could hardly string a sentence together when he first started at step up, he came on so much with his talking I could see a difference in him within a couple of months been there. I also feel nursery helped me loads with his potty training as I was finding it hard starting him off at home, he soon got the hang of it when he started using the potty at nursery! He has come on so much at step up and the staff have been amazing with him.
I love how they involve the parents in the stay and play sessions and some activities they do through out the year. The settling is lovely and clean and there’s plenty of things for children to do.
Sadly my son is due to leave in the next few months to start school which I feel step up have helped him massively to get ready for!
I would recommend step up Pre-school and I can’t wait for my daughter to start later this year!
Both my children attended this setting the youngest leaving only last year.
Both of them loved there time here and settled in quickly. The activities the staff set up vary each day with different themes and topics depending on the time of the year and children's interests.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this setting to any parent looking for quality childcare
My eldest child attended Step Up, she loved everything about it and the staff looked after her so well. It was always lovely to see the children who had moved on to Hook Primary School faces light up when they bumped into a member of staff who had previously looked after them.
I had no hesitation sending my second child especially as she hadn’t been able to mix with children her age because of covid. She absolutely loves going and comes home happy and excited about what she has done that day. Again the staff play a big part in that.
She enjoys playing in the garden, brushing her teeth with the dinosaurs and looking after the dolls. She has taken part in some lovely activities that the setting has arranged especially the Kixx football and My baby can dance.
The opportunity for the children to go across to Hook Primary School and have their dinner is going to help so much with the transition to big school in September. Thank you for making this happen!
My youngest child, was a Covid baby, and he was always very dubious/ nervous about spending time in places with children of his own age.
Because of this, I delayed starting his nursery journey until he was 3 and 3 months.
I was so anxious about the setting we were going to be putting Chester in, and we looked around so many nurseries, but the feeling we had when we made contact with Hook Step Up had an instantly warm connection. I knew we needed to look around!
We found the staff to child ratio amazing, there was as always a lot of adults buzzing about engaging with the kids, encouraging them to play, learn and interact!
My son is clingy- very clingy, and it look a number of sessions to settle, but the staff at Hook are incredible, I trust them completely, and that coming from an anxious mum is a big step!
My son went from not wanting to even look at another child, to having his own little group of friends, and even engaging with kids when we go out for the day- museum, farm, park- he will now chats happily with the kids and make new friends!
He adores the structure at Step Up, circle time, magic bag time to name a few! Their garden is wonderful and lots of outdoor space. He also knows more yoga moves than me!
They have now started to have lunch within hook primary school meaning that his transition to reception class at hook school will hopefully be seamless.
Chester is never board at step up, and he’s a high maintenance child who like a lot of activities to fill his day!
He thrives here! He comes home with a clean face and a filthy uniform. To me, this is a sign that the staff are looking after the kids hygiene, yet they have tonnes of fun with creative activities during the day. I’ve seen the state of my nephews and friends children who come out with filthy noses, dirty underwear/ nappies! Not here!
Chester has never come home with wet underwear, which is a wonderful sign that he is engaging with them regarding toileting.
All in all, I’m so glad we made the call here. I believe every member of the team have played a massive part in Chester’s development and I’ll forever be thankful!
Thank you Hook Step Up!
My eldest son went here a few years ago, and loved it! The staff were all great, and really helped him to grow and develop, both academically and socially. Now my youngest son is at Step Up, and he loves it there too, he's always got plenty to tell me about his day!
