Footsteps Binley Nursery & Pre-School

I don't think this nursery gets the recognition it deserves. It's so good in so many ways.

I will definitely be sending my second child to this nursery as well. Thank you so much!

The nursery app is brilliant to so easy to work and communication with teachers when child is at school if needs be.

Since starting nursery in May 2024, our daughter has made amazing progress in her confidence, communication and independence. We are so pleased with how much she has developed and how happy she is attending.

She has had two operations since joining, and the support from staff has been exceptional. Following her most recent operation in January 2026, she attended with a bandage and only had the use of one hand. The team ensured appropriate risk assessments were in place while still giving her the same opportunities as every other child. Their care and encouragement meant she continued to thrive during this time.

Since moving to Jungle Room, she has built a lovely relationship with her key worker, Salma, who knows her well and understands her likes and dislikes. Salma always takes the time to give a personal update at pick-up, which is greatly appreciated.

We are so grateful to the whole team for creating such a caring, inclusive and supportive environment. Highly recommend!

Our daughter loves this nursery and has a strong bond with her keyperson and all staff in the room. She comes home telling stories of all the fun and activities she's had and we go through all the photos that have been sent in the day. Her keyperson even redoes her hair into cute little hair styles. She feels safe and I get messages from the room and can easily contact them. I haven't had any security concerns yet. Parents make sure to close the door behind them and not let anybody else through. Nursery manager is always very easy to contact and gets back to us quickly. Would happily recommend.

My son attended this nursery for a year now and always had a great time. His development since he joined nursery has been phenomenal. Staff are professional and the activities for toddlers are great and our son loves to go to nursery.

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.

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.

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.

Will be so sad when they leave. Would 100% recommend.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Really pleased with the nursery.

The manager and the team are fantastic! They have a learning methodology that is both effective and insightful. Our 15-month-old loves to go to the nursery which makes us understand she is well treated and developed. Highly recommended.

Very good nursery. Staff are brilliant and nursery very organized. My grandson's key workers are very caring of all the child in their room. I can definitely see my grandson building up his confidence and developing his personality skills.

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.

The nursery has been brilliant for my daughter's development and building her confidence. I love all the staff they are so friendly and reassuring.
