Footsteps Lichfield Nursery & Pre-School

from Grace P (Mother of Child) published on 10 December 2025
Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I couldn't be happier with my baby girl's nursery! I was so anxious about her starting, but she settled in beautifully, and that's all thanks to the amazing staff who truly treat her like one of their own. The team are warm, caring, and so attentive-everything you hope for when trusting someone with
your little one.
The facilities are always clean and tidy, and the children are kept well entertained with plenty of enrichment opportunities. I love how the nursery incorporates seasonal activities to support the children's learning and development; it's clear so much thought goes into planning each day.
The baby room in particular is fantastic. It's a calm, welcoming space, and my daughter is always happy and engaged when she's there. Seeing how much she enjoys attending brings me so much peace of mind.
I'm genuinely thrilled that she attends this nursery-it's been such a positive experience for both of us. Highly recommend!

Footsteps Lichfield Nursery & Pre-School

Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our son started this nursery 6 weeks ago, having left another (non footsteps) nursery that he attended for 2 years. Our son is a completely different child since he started with footsteps Lichfield. He is more confident and most importantly happier. His attention skills have improved and he is happy
and engaged in activities when we pick him up at the end of the day (rather than previously stood by the door, on his own, looking upset). We are very glad we made the decision for our son to get a new start, what a difference it's making already to his quality of life, confidence and learning journey.

We've been lucky to have all three of our daughters pass through Coton Nursery and breakfast club/after school club and they all really enjoy the time there. The staff are all fantastic, and create a fun and supportive atmosphere. Highly recommend.
Tough to get places and this is always a nail biter
when new term availability is released, more spaces would be welcomed by parents

My daughter loves everyday at Nursery. She loves all the activities that are available everyday and has great bonds with all the staff. She has bonded with every staff member within each room which made each transition from room to room very easy for both her and me.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has just started in September as we recently moved to the area.
She was in another nursery before so I was worried she wouldn't settle in well.
She went straight into preschool, and im pleased to say she has settled in very well. Ellie, Louise and Hannah, plus all the others involved
were so helpful in helping my daughter settle in. She's only been there a short while but she already loves it and enjoys coming into nursery daily! So thank you all and defos recommend this nursery to all.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are so happy she has settled so well and she has the best times when she is here!

My son has been with footsteps since he was 9 months old and we are now in preschool. My years of experience with the team, all members of staff had been nothing but positive. The team are attentive build amazing relationships with the kids and identify any concerns early on. They have provided guidance
and support when asked and work alongside parents to ensure development is on track. My son has loved footsteps, particularly forest school which has enhanced his experience and love of the outdoors.

We absolutely love this nursery! Every member of staff we've come into contact with has been lovely! My child absolutely LOVES coming to nursery and he has made lots of progress while being here, particularly with his speech!


I have only ever had one concern during the 16 months my child has attended

and when I spoke to a member of staff this was dealt with promptly and has never been an issue since!


We have found and continue to find communication to be excellent with key workers and management. They are all always happy to communicate in person when you catch them at the start or end of the day and the new app they are using allows communication to be prompt throughout the day too. We love receiving the photos and videos and being able to see what he has eaten and sleep times.


Other nurseries are closer to our house but Footsteps was recommended to us so we went to view and there was no competition, we wanted our child to attend! We have already secured a place for Baby number 2!

Reply from Louise Humby, Manager at Footsteps Walmley Nursery & Pre-School
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, we are so happy that you chose us and we also LOVE having you as a family and are looking forward to welcoming baby no2 in the new year!

Since moving our son to Ellingham, over the last 6 weeks, he has got his confidence back. He is enjoying playing with the other children in his room and is excited every day to go into his new nursery, often asking to go back when we get home! He has had huge success with his toilet training and is
back to being our happy little boy. we cannot thank the room leaders, staff and managers enough for all of the support whilst we dealt with the transition, we absolutely made the right choice and couldn't be happier! Our only regret is not registering at the setting sooner - Thank you all <3

Tiny Tots has provided a wonderful environment for our son to flourish. The staff are friendly and genuinely care about the children under their supervision. Our son refers to them all as his best friends and has built a great relationship with them since starting in the baby room through to preschool.
We can also see how going to nursery has supported his learning and development, especially when it comes to his language and social skills.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Babies room and management have been fabulous helping my baby settle and me feel at ease leaving my baby in their care after my return to work. My baby started very early and has developed well. The variety of activity's and socialization keep him engaged and coming home completely content after full
days. The nursery keep us informed with a daily diary, regular observations/ updates and are completely transparent about any bumps or sniffles. The staff really get to know the babies and provide a personal as well as professional approach to their childcare. Prices are competitive and the quality of facilities, range of activities and level of care exceeds expectations.

The nursery in all is very good the team are always good with my children and they are developing very well. They are meeting the needs of my child with dietry needs and the kids love going there. I think recording of food should be done until pre school as the children are unable to tell you what they
have eaten witch contributed in my child having low iron levels but when i asked for this the nursery complied.
