Overall Experience

Footstep Nursery has been a blessing to my family. As a parent whose child started under one year old, it was a huge step for us, but such a rewarding one.
My little one is constantly happy and clean, the staff are incredibly endearing and supportive. I can't wait to enrol my next baby and hope for

the same wonderful experience.

Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Care Manager at Footsteps Binley Nursery & Pre-SchoolThank you for your lovely feedback. We're pleased to hear that your experience with Footsteps Binley Nursery has been such a positive one and that your child is happy and well cared for.

Overall Experience

Lovely nursery, you can tell the staff care about the children.
Its useful that they use an app and daily handover so I know how my child day has been. They feed the kids a good variety of food and do lots of different activities. Car park can be busy, but managable.

Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Footsteps Binley Nursery & Pre-SchoolThank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that you can see how much our staff care and that the app and daily handovers help you feel connected to your child's day.

Overall Experience

We've been really happy with Footsteps Nursery so far. Our 11-month-old daughter has settled in well and it's clear she's comfortable and cared for. The staff are friendly, attentive and take the time to understand each child's routine and personality. Communication has been clear and reassuring, and

we like the range of activities and focus on development. It feels like a safe, calm environment without being over the top, which is exactly what we were looking for.

Overall Experience

I have 2 children in this nursery and i have nothing but good words to say about the childcare.
They are all so welcoming, polite, happy and the kids love it! I never worry about the care of my children and i love all the extra activities they do such as football and artventures!
Will be so sad

when they leave. Would 100% recommend.

Overall Experience

Fabulous nursery ran by such a lovely team!
It was always daunting the thought of enrolling for a nursery and even more so thinking about how my daughter would cope without me for 7 hours a day.
Where as in reality the nursery do so much with the children. Tonnes of crafts, activities, and even hosting

stay and play sessions for the parents to join in the fun.
I can honestly say how inviting the team are and how comfortable my daughter feels here!
Each transition has been seamless as she has moved into different rooms, building such lovely bonds with her key workers and other team members.
I would always recommend Footsteps to anyone looking for a nursery. It can't be an easy job but the girls are always so happy and welcoming!

Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Footsteps Binley Nursery & Pre-SchoolThank you so much for this wonderful review!

We're delighted that your daughter has settled so well, enjoys all the activities, and feels comfortable and happy with our team.

Overall Experience

Since my son has started attending this nursery, he's really come on leaps and bounds. The staff were amazing at helping him settle in. He really struggled to begin with but the extra attention and care provided by the staff made all the difference. He's now excited when I drop him off. He's already

learnt so much too and I've seen a huge improvement with his temperament, especially around other children. The app is regularly updated with information and photos throughout the day which is lovely. All the activities are very well thought out and give me ideas to recreate at home. Also special shout out to the food! It's varied, nutritious and clearly delicious with how much he eats! I'm so happy I chose this nursery, my son is in very capable hands.

Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Footsteps Binley Nursery & Pre-SchoolThank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review. We're absolutely delighted to hear how well your son has settled and the progress he's made since joining us. Supporting children through those early settling-in stages is so important to us, and it means a lot to know our team made a positive difference.

Overall Experience

My son absolutely loves his nursery, and I couldn't be happier with the care he receives. The staff are truly lovely-always helpful, kind, and welcoming. Every morning he's greeted with a big smile and a cuddle, which makes such a difference to his day (and mine!). It's clear they genuinely care about

the children, and the warm, nurturing atmosphere they create is wonderful to see. I'm so grateful for the support and attention they give him. Highly recommend!

Overall Experience

Not only has my little one been made to feel welcome, is happy to go in and loves all of the activities that they do, I feel confident leaving him with the staff there.

We have built a good relationship with the team and feel confident that we can discuss anything should we need to. He enjoys the

toys, the activities, the outdoor space and the varied food there and is developing so well with the time the team spend with him as well as getting to be with the other children.

My little boy is very happy at Footsteps. He is a real foodie and I love how varied the menu they offer is, it is rare that he doesn't eat all of the delicious food he is offered and I often see that he has gone back for seconds. The outdoor space is fantastic and I am satisfied that he is well cared

for there.

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Louise Humby, Manager at Footsteps Walmley Nursery & Pre-SchoolThank 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.

Overall Experience

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-SchoolThank 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!

Overall Experience

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.
