Footsteps Fradley Nursery & Pre-School

My son started nursery in May 2026 in the babies class when he had just turned 1. The staff were very friendly and caring and quickly got to know him and the things he enjoys. They are very diligent, and we get sent updates on some of the activities he has taken part in and how he has progressed.

Since moving to the toddler room my child has come out of their shell and is showing their true character. Especially enjoying the visits to forest school spending so much time outside exploring all the nature around them. He's happy to walk in not even looking back to say bye every morning and always has a smile when I come to collect. The staff have his best interest at heart they are also really welcoming through out as I've experienced this in both the baby room and movers rooms aswell. He is always happy to see them.

Fradley footsteps has been amazing as my first experience with a nursery. My little one enjoys it so much and it only took him a month or so to settle in. The baby room has been so attentive and caring and he has already learnt so much within such a short time. The food choices are varied and healthy and they keep you updated of any menu changes. Lots of outdoor play time and sand/water activities. Would highly recommend to any parents who are looking for a nursery.

Beautiful setting. Great staff and management. Really happy with the level of care. Outside space is amazing. They go for walks down the canal. Food is all homemade. Great facilities and lots of lovely wooden toys.

I have no hesitation with sending my second child here.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Footsteps Fradley is an amazing nursery which I would highly recommend to all parents. All staff members are kind, warm and welcoming and you can tell they truly care about their job and the children they are looking after. Every time my daughter attends I know she is going to have a brilliant day filled with fun activities, love and care - everything you want and need from a nursery.

Fantastic nursery, I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone with young children. The outdoor area is lovely my daughter loves coming to nursery. The staff are all lovely and will always go above for the parents and the children.

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.
