Nicola is a fantastic nursery manager and runs the nursery so smoothly.
I feel my child is very well looked after while I go to work. For me this is the most important thing as I know I can go to work and not worry.
Staff are great, friendly and I always get a good hand over on pickup.
Food seems to be good, gives them a good variety and they get to eat different things. My little enjoys the food here very much.
I have no hesitation with sending my second child here.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Were delighted to hear how happy you are with the care your child receives and that you feel confident leaving them with us while youre at work. Knowing that families feel reassured and supported is very important to us.
Lovely nursery with a homely country feel and amazing outdoor spaces, the staff are attentive and always keep me up to date with everything going on, either in person on handover or via the app would definitely recommend
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear that you appreciate the homely atmosphere, our outdoor spaces, and the communication you receive from the team. Keeping families informed and involved is very important to us, and we're glad that's been your experience.
Coming from a crazy protective mommy, after having a poorly baby as a new born. From babies to now toddlers, can't fault the nursery at all. Each and every staff member that has ever looked after my little boy, have honestly been fabulous! He loves going to nursery, and has the best time. The communication is great, handovers are always very detailed, great photos and observations! And always happy to listen and support with any concerns I have at home. Not emotionally prepared to leave toddlers, couldn't recommend it enough. They all work so hard and do a fabulous job!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that you've had such a positive experience with us. It's wonderful to know your little one enjoys nursery and that you've found our communication and care to be supportive and consistent.
We have 2 children in the nursery and both have settled really well and are very happy there. The outdoor space was the pull for us and they both spend a lot of their day playing and learning outside.
We're delighted that both of your children have settled so well and enjoy their time with us! Our outdoor space is indeed a special feature, and it's fantastic to hear that your little ones love playing and learning outside. Your happiness means everything to us, and we're thrilled to be part of your children's growth and joy.
Staff are always very welcoming and friendly whenever we are collecting/dropping off our child for the day. We have just enrolled our second child to start in April and feel with how happy our eldest has been at the nursery for, always excited to go to nursery and looks forward to what is planned each day. Good variety of food options provided each day, with a snack. It’s nice reading on the board what they have planned that day. The staff are always more than happy to assist with any queries that we have had and advise us accordingly. Cannot recommend enough!
We're over the moon to hear such wonderful feedback! It's heartwarming to know that your eldest child loves coming to nursery and that you trust us enough to enrol your second child. Our welcoming staff, diverse food options, and daily activity plans are all here to ensure a joyful experience. Thank you for your glowing recommendation!
Lovely, friendly staff who have welcomed my child into their setting so well. It is a wonderful nursery with caring staff and lovely facilities for all children to learn and explore. The settling-in process from initial phone calls, nursery walk-arounds and finally settling-in days has been a positive process and has eased the transition.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that your child has felt so welcomed by our friendly staff and that the settling-in process was smooth and positive.

Very happy with Footsteps Fradley, our daughter loves it there! She started attending at 9 months old, she’s now 2 and her development is outstanding. The staff are great, very compassionate, happy and helpful. The facilities are also great, including a forest school, and very clean.

Our compassionate staff and great facilities, including the forest school, are all here to provide the best experience. Your happiness means everything to us!
My daughter has attended Fradley Footsteps since she was 12 months old. She is now almost 3 and has done nothing but thrive in the setting. The staff make such an effort to get to know all of the children personally, making bonds with them that provide us as parents with the reassurance that they are in safe hands. My daughter’s development has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Fradley Footsteps, to a level that I know she wouldn’t achieved had she not attended, and she always comes home with a massive smile on her face telling us about how amazing her day was. The manager runs the nursery perfectly, she is always so friendly and attentive and is such a credit to the setting. I cannot recommend the nursery enough and wouldn’t want my daughter to attend anywhere else.
Your heartfelt review warms our hearts! It's wonderful to hear how much your daughter has thrived since joining us. Our dedicated staff strive to create strong bonds and support each child's development. Thank you for your glowing recommendation and kind words about our manager. We're delighted to be part of your daughter's journey!
Our experience with Footsteps Nursery has been fantastic. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming, providing us updates each day on what my son has been up to and how he is. My son is always happy being dropped off at nursery and we have seen him using skills and words at home that he has learnt at nursery.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear your son is happy and thriving at Footsteps Nursery. Our friendly staff love providing daily updates and seeing him use new skills and words at home. Your positive experience means the world to us. We're so happy to have you with us!
My little one has recently joined (c. 8 weeks ago) and seems very happy already. The staff are incredible and very positive/happy and they have made settling in a breeze for us. The activities they do daily are brilliant for child development and social skills and the routine has been great for my son who probably lacked routine at home. Only bit of constructive feedback is I would like to see more vegetables introduced at mealtimes. But aside from that, we are very happy with Footsteps Fradley and feel at ease when we drop our son off in the mornings. Really lovely nursery.
We're so happy to hear your little one has settled in so well! Our positive and happy staff strive to make every day brilliant for child development and social skills. We appreciate your feedback about vegetables and will certainly take it on board. Thank you for your kind words and for feeling at ease with us!
We have kept our son at this nursery even though there are other nurseries closer to where we live as he is so settled here. He always has lots to tell us when he has finished for the day and they have lots of activities, including yoga. The fact they have an emphasis on outside play is fantastic and the staff are really lovely and caring.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're honoured that you've kept your son with us despite other nurseries being closer. It's wonderful to hear he enjoys our activities, especially yoga and outdoor play. Our caring staff are dedicated to creating a joyful environment. We appreciate your trust and look forward to more fun-filled days!
We have had a great experience so far. My son has been in the baby room and has developed really well. He has recently transitioned to the Movers room and has settled instantly. All the staff are great and so friendly. The facilities at the nursery are great and we absolutely love the outdoor space and the fact that they try to spend as much time as possible outside. We are also really happy with the food provided, lots of healthy varied meals.
We're delighted to hear about your great experience so far! It's fantastic that your son transitioned so smoothly to the Movers room and loves our outdoor space. Our friendly staff and healthy, varied meals are here to ensure he thrives. Thank you for your kind words and for being part of our Footsteps family!
My little boy has been going to Fradley Footsteps since he was 1. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. They are always happy to help with anything. My little boy has progressed so well whilst being at the nursery. He has made some wonderful friends. The facilities are fantastic, with plenty of outdoor and indoor space. The menu is always well thought out and offers a wide range of food on a rotating weekly basis, my son eats things at nursery he won’t even touch at home. We have enjoyed our experience here so much that we have already signed our youngest son to attend as well.
Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that your little boy has progressed so well and made wonderful friends here at Fradley Footsteps.

Our staff are dedicated to going above and beyond for our parents and children, and your high recommendation means the world to us. We're so happy to have you as part of our nursery family!
Our high expectations of Footsteps Fradley have been totally exceeded. After coming from another nursery, we had an idea of what it might be like, but every element of Footsteps Fradley was better from the facilities, the team, the activities and level of care. We totally trust all the team with the care of our little girl. They know her so well and she comes home with so many stories from the day filled with so many activities. She has learnt great lessons and it’s clear from her interactions, songs and habits that they are taught valuable lessons through fun and repetition. We are so thrilled we found Footsteps and would highly recommend! Thank you so much to the team for all you do.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Natalie! This means a lot to our team! I will be passing on the comments! Thank you again.
My son has been attending nursery for just over a year and he absolutely loves it. We’ve seen him grow in confidence and change so much. They put on plenty of different activities every week so they are doing different things and learning at the same time. The outdoor space is great and it’s great they can go outside anytime as some areas are under cover. The staff are always so cheerful and helpful with anything we have asked.
Thank you for your feedback! We love our outdoor space and watching the children explore the natural environment!
Amazing staff and facilities for my child. Really pleasant and helpful if I have any questions on arrival and pick up, always tell us how his day has been and what he’s been up to. Such a lovely environment for my child to be learning and playing.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you find our staff and facilities amazing and that your child enjoys learning and playing here. Our team is always here to help and provide updates. It's a joy to have your family with us, and we look forward to many more happy days!
