Our little girl spent close to 4 years in The Magic Steps and liked to go there almost every day. Organisation is ok and they stay on top of the children with cleanness and authority. Staff is very friendly and helpful and bing in new toys regularly. Highly recommended.

My son attended Magic Steps for 3 and a half years until we sadly left the area. The nursery is a bar above the rest and the staff almost became part of our family. Staff were always friendly, professional and always put the children first. If ever there was an issue, it was sorted out quickly and there were never reaccurences. I can honestly say that another nursery will have some pretty big shoes to fill for my next child!

Magic steps was the best thing that happened to son. It's a clean, well maintained environment with very helpful staff. For over two years my son did consistently enjoy his time, learn very positive attitudes and he now owns a wide set of expressions and concepts that will definitely put him at the front foot into Reception class this September. Can not recommend any nursery other that the Magic Steps this side of town.
