Stepping Stones has been an amazing, friendly and fun environment and we watched my child grow in confidence whilst being here.

Senior Team


Chelsea Hale

Manager /

Designated Safeguarding Lead

My name is Chelsea and I have 16 years childcare experience, 3 of my own children and a level 4 in Early Childhood Studies . I love spending my time with my family and dog walking in nature and exploring on holidays. Childcare has always been a passion, previously working in schools, nurseries, and children’s homes. Helping is my passion and there is no greater reward than children’s smiling faces.


Shannon Eggerton

Deputy Manager

I hold a level 3 diploma in Early Years Education. I have four years of childcare experience and have loved every moment. I enjoy creating messy activities for the children to explore. During in my free time, I like spending time with my partner and his child.

Staff Team



After many questions, an invitation to visit and more questions, our decision was made. Stepping Stones met our needs perfectly. If we wanted a regimented restrictive environment for our children, we were in the wrong place. If we wanted our children to have the best start at school, a caring and protective environment, development of manners and social skills, and most of all a place for play and laughter, our choice was right.
