We are hosting a neighbourhood walkabout- join us on Thursday 14th May to share your views and priorities for the Pride in Place funding.

We will be meeting at 5.30pm at Benchill Community Centre for refreshments & an introductory talk about Pride in Place.

Then from 6-7pm our urban design consultant will lead the walk around Benchill to help map out key buildings & identify your priorities for the area.

We will reconvene at 7pm at St Andrew's Methodist Church for a debrief and discussions about next steps, alongside sharing some hot food- if you are unable to join us for the walkabout due to mobility issues or otherwise, feel free to just join us for this part of the evening.

Please share this flyer far & wide! We look forward to seeing you on the 14th.

Eid Celebrations 🌙✨
We had a wonderful time celebrating Eid together! The children explored creativity by drawing round their hands and looking at beautiful henna patterns for inspiration, before designing their own unique artwork.
We also enjoyed making special Eid cards to share with loved ones 😊
To finish our celebration the children had a chance to taste some traditional Eid snacks, including sweet dates and delicious samosas 🌺
Eid Mubarak to all our families celebrating!🌝✨

🎉 A proud moment for our Stepping Stones team! 🎉

We’re delighted to share that our amazing Pre-School team were recognised at the recent Manchester City Council Early Years Celebration Evening, receiving awards for:

🏆 Significant Improvements to Practice / Provision in 2025
🏆 Demonstrating High Quality Communication and Language Support in 2025

Supporting children with their speech, language and communication is a huge focus of our work. Helping children build confidence, express themselves and feel ready for the next stage of their learning journey is something our team care deeply about, so this recognition means a lot.

A huge well done to our wonderful staff team Charlotte, Danielle and Isobel – we are so proud of everything you do for the children and families who come through our doors.

🙏 Thank you as well to the Manchester City Council Early Years Quality Assurance Team for organising such a lovely evening and for their ongoing support and encouragement.

📢 We are now taking applications for our September intake.
If you’re looking for a friendly, nurturing early years setting where children are supported to grow in confidence and thrive, please get in touch to find out more.
