What our parents say...

“A big thank you to Jo and her team at Next Steps Day Care. Next Steps Day Care have made our son and daughter feel like they are in a home from home for the past few years. It is a great setting with lots of fun and learning which our children really enjoy.
We can’t recommend Next Steps Day Care highly enough”
Daniel and Emma-Jane

“We wanted a loving and nurturing environment for our little girl and Jo and her staff have been brilliant in providing both. The children are really loved and well cared for which I feel has been instrumental in our daughter’s progress. We also love the outdoor trips and fun activities put on for them; our daughter is truly happy, and we couldn’t ask for more!”
Daisy and Ryan
