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.

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.

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!

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.

Walmley Footsteps have been very warm and welcoming towards my son and our family since my son started. My son enjoys coming into nursery and thrives as each session goes on. It is very nice to see how his days have gone through looking on the app and seeing which skills have been met

Great nursery. Kids are very happy at this nursery, and the staff actually want to be there, and you can see they enjoy spending time with the children and teaching them. My daughter is very happy here and always tells me she loves the nursery. Very colourful nursery and they cover a range of activities,
so my daughter never gets bored. Great management too. Always there to help when needed.

My little one loves this place so much. The members of staff are nurturing and welcoming.
The environment is always clean and safe for the kids. Members of staff and management are also security conscious which is good for keeping the kids safe.

Since starting at Footsteps, our son and we as a family have had nothing but a positive experience. Our son loves nursery, and it's great to see him growing both in confidence and skills every week. This is down to the happy and positive environment. All the caregivers are fantastic. Everyone is friendly
and it seems they have genuine care for all the children. At pickup we always get a detailed rundown of the day which we love and they are always prompt at letting us know of any key information we know to know. We also enjoy the daily diaries.
The facilities at Footsteps are brilliant. A deciding factor for us when choosing a nursery was the outdoor space. The playgrounds and forest school are something our son loves. We're really happy we chose Footsteps.

Overall my son loves school it's really all down to the amazing teachers they are brilliant. It's very very clean, organised in there for the kids and the food menu is brilliant and very healthy. My son finds it very hard to settle any new place with new people and from the first day I could see he
felt safe at this nursery he was settled straight away. I'm very happy with all the updates through the day how my son has done, what he has eaten and daily activities inside and outdoors. His really come alone in such a short amount of time being there. I definitely would recommend this nursery to everyone I know looking for a new nursery.

Footsteps Walmley have been amazing with my daughter. She settled in so easily and quickly and genuinely loves going on her days. The staff have built such strong bonds with her and I never worry about leaving her with any of the staff there. She does so many fun activities and the communication between
the nursery and us is brilliant. Highly recommended.

Amazing nursery, they have helped myself and my daughter through the SEN process the whole way through and she is now thriving, after having problems at home with her and not much support outside of nursery, they have arranged a meeting for myself to seek advice, my son also goes here and was very shy
at first but has bonded so well with the staff and doesn't stop talking about it when he gets home! Overall brilliant nursery would not want my kids anywhere else!

Very impressed the manager and her team were great from the start. Our child has complex care needs all health care plans and risk assessments were completed and sent over before her staff date. The team in the seaside room have been amazing. Our little girl tells us every day how much she loves nursery.

Overall very happy with the entire experience both from our daughter's perspective and ours as parents. Her confidence and learning have come on leaps and bounds since she started at Footsteps and she is 100% more positive about getting in the morning (compared to her previous nursery). The only negative
is the cost which I realise is justified by the staff for the facilities etc, however, you do feel with spending so much that there would be more variation and tech use in the activities the children do.
