Review from Karolina S (Mother of Child) published on 2 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Footprint Preschool is the best preschool I could have sent my children to. My son loves going to preschool, my daughter now goes to preschool and loves spending time there. The ladies who work there are warm, kind, supportive, and sweet. They dedicate their precious time to teaching them wonderful things.

My 7 month old has been going to Footprints for two months now and he absolutely loves it! Every time we step foot in his room he's smiling and reaching out to go in! It's so reassuring knowing how happy he is there. The updates on famly app are fantastic and always make me feel like I'm part of his day! Thank you so much for all you do!

Overall Experience

I've used Footprints for 3 years so far for my 2 children. I'd highly recommend them.

All of the staff are kind, caring and professional throughout the entire nursery - including cleaning & reception staff. Generally staff turnover seems low, which is really important to us as it means my children have built really solid relationships with all staff.

The facilities and activities on offer for the children are great. The food is cooked on site and offers a varied menu.

Review from Udochi E (Father of Child) published on 24 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves her Nursery. It provides a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where she feels truly at home. We've observed remarkable improvement in her overall growth academically, socially, and emotionally. The engaging recreational activities, creative games, and hands-on DIY sessions have played a significant role in enhancing her confidence, curiosity, and learning ability. The teachers are dedicated, patient, and attentive to every child's needs, ensuring that each day is both educational and fun. I'm deeply grateful for the positive impact the Nursery has had on her development and wellbeing

We use footprints for holiday club. My daughter loves the setting here, there's loads to do including full access to the church kitchen which means they get to do cooking/baking.

They always have a jam packed agenda int he holidays with loads of variety of activities - she's never bored.

Lovely staff, activities and facilities. Very happy to leave my children and trust that they will be well looked after and supported in their growth and readiness for school and next steps. The range of activities and social and life skills which they learn is ideal.

Fantastic Nursery. We are lucky to have found Footprints when our eldest was little and they settled in amazingly. Both children attended since 1 years old and have loved it. We feel safe in the knowledge our children are so well looked after and staff are brilliant.

My daughter has been at Footprints since she was under two, and we couldn't be happier with the care, support, and dedication she's received throughout her journey. She's now in junior school, and we're so grateful for the wonderful start Footprints gave her. We trust them 100%!

Review from Ajkida P (Mother of Child) published on 10 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have never met lovlier stuff who are so loving and caring . My daughter started when she turned 3 and i left her with complete ease and she settled very quickly only because the staff were so caring and got time to know the child on her settling days. By far it is one of the cleanest and warmest nurseries that i have visited in chelmsford and best believe i have visited a good dozen of them before we decided on footprints. The food is also amazing and tasty and i have a fussy eater at home so when she says she loves the food there i believe her.

Overall Experience
Extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Very enthusiastic about making the children's experience with them as amazing as possible. Great facilities, equipment and resources.
We have been using Footprints as a family for almost 9 years for 2 children and cannot fault the service.

Communication throughout the nursery day is excellent and you feel reassured that your children are being looked after and given the care and attention they all deserve.

Review from S W (Mother of Child) published on 4 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter is so happy attending this nursery. All members of staff work extremely hard and they are all so nurturing towards the children. It makes it so much easier (especially as a first time mum!) to see your child leave you content and excited to see what they have carefully planned for the day. I absolutely love receiving updates through the day and the progress that she's making! All staff members take the time to get to know your child. I love the bond that my daughter has formed with her key worker and the other staff that work with her. Thank you ladies !

I can't thank the staff at Footprints enough for their patience, kindness and support whilst my daughter was there. She really loved her time there and they helped her grow in so many ways. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Footprints.

Overall Experience

Since 2016 my children have attended footprints (from age 0-9) starting with nursery then holiday club and after school club provisions. I can't recommend footprints highly enough. There has been very little staff turnover in all those years which is testament to the positive environment there!
