Anniversary - Stepping Stone children and staff at the group’s Christmas play performance A TRAILBLAZING nursery which gives both mainstream children and youngsters with additional needs the chance to learn together is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Stepping Stones Play and Learn Group, in Barrack Lane, Colchester, was formed in 1991 at a time when children with physical and behavioural difficulties struggled to access nursery groups. So nursery worker Carol Nice set up Stepping Stones following parents’ requests to give all children the opportunity to play together. Her aim was to help children accept each other, regardless of their differences. Since the group’s inception, its ethos has been to adapt its services to meet the individual needs of every child it cares for.
