Stepping Stones Pre-School Canterbury was formed in 1967, primarily to provide childcare to staff working at the local hospital. The original aim was to be based at the heart of the community and provide a homely environment for local children to learn and play as well as supporting parents and families to raise their children.
Our setting aims to provide high quality care and education for children below statutory school age
We aim to ensure that each child is in a safe and stimulating environment
