Day Nurseries Owned by Footsteps Day Nursery & Pre Schools

So happy with this pre-school, my daughter (2), who started April 24 is very attached to me and hardly leaves me so this transition was a big deal for us. The nursery/pre-school manager and teachers have made her settling so easy and the communication has been great. Couldn’t be happier. My daughter has become fond of the teachers and I am so happy she has people she can go to while I am not there. On top of that, in such a short amount of time, I can already see her learning things which is amazing. Definitely recommend it.

My son attends Footsteps and one of the reasons I was drawn to it was their Forest School approach, my son loves being outside and I love that they take the children out no matter the weather! He has really settled into the preschool and although he is non verbal he runs in with a huge smile on his face every morning and often doesn’t want to leave when it’s time to go home! That just shows us how much he loves attending, he has changed positively and learnt so much in the time that he has been attending and we are very proud of him as are the staff when they share any achievements with us.

Fantastic Preschool. My son enjoys going every day. The staff are approachable, kind, caring and very attentive. The staff always keep me informed each day about how my son has been. When he leaves he is always telling me about his day. I love the fact that Footsteps allows the children to enjoy messy play without the fuss. My son loves being outdoors and getting muddy, and Footsteps allows him to do exactly this. He has the best time each day and I cannot recommend Footsteps more!

My son attended nursery until he went to school and now attends after school club. He loves the outdoor space and forest school in the holidays. He likes walking to the village and visiting the church, seeing all the things for remembrance day. I am really happy with the low staff turnover and how friendly everyone is. They prepared my son for school so he was confident enough to go on his first day.

My son loves this nursery. He has been going there since was 8/9-month-old. Staff are absolutely amazing and really take into consideration the time and patience with the children who attend. Fantastic outcome overall, and always have a happy boy when coming home from nursery. Thank you to all the staff that have helped me with him.

Both my grandchildren have been through Footsteps Day Nursery in Chalfont St Peter and the care they've both received has been excellent. The staff are caring and thoughtful, they knew both my grandchildren and were supported & loved by the team in Pre School.

My daughter thoroughly loves her time at this nursery. Staff turnover is low and the carers are brilliant with all the children. We go to work knowing she is safe and secure and having the best time! Her key worker always contacts me if any issues even the smallest of things so I'm reassured all the time that she is well looked after! We have had all 3 children at Footsteps and would never go anywhere else! The older 2 look back with fond memories.

Don't be fooled! Many friends recommended this nursery while others say it’s gone downhill since the manager arrived. Some lovely staff, however, there are some very incompetent staff who don’t seem to have a clue or be honest when my child gets hurt and when I approached the manager with my concerns she shrugged it off or provides me with an inconsistent story. I know from others that she has worked with some members of staff for some years but surely my concerns about children’s welfare and safety should take priority? If the manager is flippant then she shouldn’t be in charge. It’s a shame as the facilities are good, great location with lots of outdoor space, not far from home but just can’t trust her to take my concerns seriously and would rather favour her “friends” over safety.
