Stepping Stones of Sopley is situated in the village of Bransgore, a short commute from Christchurch, Ringwood and New Milton.
We have a well- equipped Nursery with a very spacious outside play area, surrounded by an ancient woodland which offers a beautiful and enriching environment for our children to play, learn and develop in.

Stepping Stones has been under new management since July 2023 and we are thrilled to have received an Ofsted rating of 'Good' in December 2023.

Stepping Stones is committee run with a charity status. We are a well-established group with more than 20 years experience in providing pre-school nursery care and education in the local community.

We offer care and early learning for children from 18 months old (in or out of nappies) until school age.
We are open Monday to Friday 8.00am – 6.00pm term time and offer a holiday club including four weeks of the summer holidays if there is sufficient interest.

At Stepping Stones, we believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life, and we support them to fulfil their potential. We provide a safe, caring, secure environment where children are nurtured to develop their skills, knowledge and attitudes from first hand experiences.
Using the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) as a framework, staff offer a free flow style of play where the children can access a range of holistic learning activities both indoors and outdoors. This enables the children to learn and respond to activities and stimuli at their own pace.

We are extremely proud of our facilities and high standards of care.
"Children are confident to come into the welcoming nursery."
"Staff support children with their physical development well. They encourage the children to use their imaginations to challenge themselves physically."

If you would like to find out more then please phone us to arrange a visit. Visitors welcome from 9.30 am daily.
