Childcare & Early Education
About Us
We believe that early education is the foundation for lifelong learning. Derwent Stepping Stones nurseries strive to combine local and affordable childcare with outstanding early learning to give children the best start on their educational journey.
Originally established in 1988, Derwent Stepping Stones began with a group of women who came together when they were unable to work due to a lack of affordable, local childcare. Since that day, community has remained at the heart of everything we do. We deeply care about and support the communities in which we work, providing high quality early education and local childcare to families, and opportunities and traineeships for young people wanting to develop a rewarding career in childcare.
Now with four childcare and early education locations, each with modern facilities and an engaging and creative learning programme, we are able to help as many families as we can in and around Derby city. If you think Derwent Stepping Stones might be the solution to your local childcare needs, we’d love to speak with you and discuss the variety of affordable and flexible childcare packages we have available.
