Mother's Day

I've had a lovely morning, thank you. What a great opportunity to take time out of my day and enjoy the time with my son.

What you do is so special and I am so grateful for all you have done for me and my child. If it weren't for your guidance we would not be all set up and ready for reception class. I hope all future parents know just how lucky their children are to be part of First Steps.

Christmas Crafts

We really enjoyed our morning listening to the singing and doing Christmas Crafts.  My daughter is very happy here and the staff are wonderful.

Loved the fact it was small pre-school, which was very much play based and was important to teach them to be kind, confident and independent.

Chinese New Year

I liked the mixture of outdoor learning e.g. going on walks, going on the bus, out for Chinese New Year. You don't get that at many Pre-schools.
