Please click on the drop down menu to find out more about the history of Stepping Stones, our close ties with William Barnes Primary School and our ethos.

We have been in Sturminster Newton for over 40 years. During this time we have had many changes of site. From the youth centre to the lower cricket pavilion to the scout hall and finally our now permanent home on the William Barnes site. We have recently added an extension thanks to the Leader fund which has enhanced our and given much needed spaces for families. We are a preschool group, a registered charity, a member of the Early Years Alliance and have regular Ofsted inspections. Every parent with a child at the Preschool has the right to say how the group is run as we have a voluntary committee of parents which you can join. Without our committee the preschool could not run.
