Day Nurseries Owned by Family First Day Nurseries

We have had both of our boys in this nursery over the last 5 years and have been really impressed. There are several long standing members of staff who have been particularly wonderful with our children. My child comes home singing "Jolly Phonics" songs, identifying letters and talking about the books he has read at nursery today, along with the games he has played outside.

We're extremely happy with the care and support that footsteps offer with our daughter. They have been accomodating, welcoming and friendly. Every time we've asked questions or had requests, they have been welcomed. I would highly recommend footsteps Stafford to any parent looking for a nursery!

Lovely nursery staff make you feel at ease very friendly couldn't recommend this nursery enough love that fact that you get updates throughout the day too lovely to see what they have been getting up to

We couldn't be happier with Footsteps Stafford. From the moment our son started, the staff have been absolutely amazing with him and have helped him settle in so well. It's lovely to see how comfortable and happy he is there.

He has come on so much since starting nursery and is constantly learning new skills and developing his confidence. The staff really take the time to get to know each child and genuinely care about their individual needs and development.

The nursery is always clean, welcoming and well looked after, and it's clear that the children are at the heart of everything they do. We feel really reassured knowing he is in such a caring, safe and stimulating environment.

We would highly recommend Footsteps Stafford to any parent looking for a nursery. We're so pleased with how well our son has settled and all the progress he is making!

My child also loves the food and always finishes her plate

My child does enjoy coming to school which is a great thing. Now we are having time to learn more about the things he learned at the nursery. Well l feel good as you have lessen the burden of making him understand some things he was struggling with

So far my son been here since jan hes lovely every min of it hes so happy he would come 7 days a week if he could th3 staff are welcome friendly kind patience im just so happy my son is progressing and learning very happy parents

They make every child feel special and wanted. After my older children's first day at school every staff member asked how it went and how they are. They nurture and support both children and parents and make nursery an enjoyable place for everyone!

A huge thank you to the whole team for everything you do. You really do make a difference to our children and give parents such peace of mind.

Acre Wood Nursery has been amazing with my daughter, I cannot fault them whatsoever. My daughter had specific dietary requirements and medical needs and they have been so supportive with all aspects of her care and learning. I have seen such a big improvement in her speech and confidence since starting Early 2026.

After three and a half years today is my granddaughter's last day at Poppies. She has loved Poppies. All the staff are wonderful. They are all patient, warm and friendly, with a little friendly persuasion when its called for. Between them they create a very nurturing environment. They also communicate well with parents. The children are so young the learning is more practical than academic. New parents to Poppies should expect nurturing not 'hot housing'. My granddaughter has had a thoroughly good time at Poppies. We are all extremely glad Poppies was her chosen pre-school.

Lovely environment which exceeds the children's needs. Really is a lovely day nursery

We have been very happy with this nursery since our son joined in August 2024. It's a very nurturing and caring environment and the outdoor space is fab. The nursery goes above and beyond with its children, their parents and the wider community, often putting on out of hours events which we thoroughly enjoy.

Acre Wood has been a breath of fresh air for our girls from their first day to the last. It will be a very sad day on the last day of Nursery as the girls have been there from day one! All the girls and staff have been Fantastic throughout and will definately be missed especially Helen! Only down side is the fridge could do with being stocked up a bit more!!!

My grandson has attended Bourne End Nursery for two years. In that time his development has thrived. Not only did he learn new skills but gained social experiences and lots of fun everyday. We are grateful to all the staff. Especially the pre-school room for the amazing support and care given.

Fantastic nursery with wonderful, caring staff. Our child is always happy to go and we feel completely reassured knowing she is in such safe and capable hands.

It has been lovely to see her development and confidence grow since starting nursery. The staff are attentive, supportive, and genuinely care about her wellbeing and progress.

We couldn't be happier with the care she receives and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and welcoming environment for their child.

Our daughter has been there just over 6 months. She is very happy and thriving there. The staff are caring and professional and she's always happy to go every morning. We have no concerns and it's clear she's in safe hands.

Im really happy with my son's nursery. The staff are all lovely, friendly and very approachable, which makes me feel confident that he is well cared for. There are always lots of different activities for the children to enjoy, keeping them entertained and learning throughout the day. They also provide a good selection of meals and snacks. Most importantly, our son is always so happy there that he even says he wants to stay at nursery when i come to pick him up! We couldn't be happier with the care and experience he receives.

The girls will miss you all so much!

My family have been using Just Imagine for over 10 years now, from Baby Room through to After School Club and can honestly say how lovely everyone has been, and how happy my children have been. Would definitely recommend to other parents.
