Description

Stepping Stones Day Nursery is a former school built in 1873, designed in the Gothic Revival style. The building is constructed of rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features Welsh slate roofs with coped gables and two stacks with set-offs. It has a chamfered plinth.

The nursery is a single-storey structure. The south-east gable front includes a three-light pointed-arch window with circular tracery, and above it, there is a single-arched bellcote that houses a bell and is topped with a cross finial. The north-east front features a four-light window, each with cusped pointed-arch heads, flanked by similar three-light windows. To the right, there is a gabled wing with three graduated lancets, all with cusped pointed-arched heads.

The interior has not been inspected. This building is a well-preserved example of a small-scale Victorian school in the Gothic Revival style.
