Review from L M (Mother of Child) published on 11 May 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

A recent high turnover of staff and various re-structures have been concerning making it difficult for children to build relationships. Not much thought is put into alternative meal options when a child has a food allergy, particularly at tea times.

Overall Experience

An amazing nursery. Since starting our little boy has come on leaps and bounds. He loves coming here and gets excited when we tell him he is going to nursery. The staff are fantastic and our little boy has formed some wonderful bonds with the staff in his room. His diary is always filled in with amazing activities showing us just how much fun he has had. We can't wait to watch him continue his journey through the nursery.

When we found Footsteps Nursery & Pre School (Fradley) we were so happy! Amazing nursery with great room seniors. Very happy child. The forest school and extra clubs are good and the focus on each individual baby. Breastfeeding friendly, managed to help us with nap routine too. Love this nursery.

Overall Experience

We absolutely love Footsteps Nursery & Pre School (Fradley) and our daughter can't wait to go each morning. She adores her keyworker and the feeling is reciprocated. We couldn't ask for nicer staff or a better quality of care. We've felt safe and welcome since our daughter joined and your efforts during such difficult times are to be commended. Thank you to you all!

Review from Jo T (Mother of Child) published on 4 April 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff are extremely hard working and caring, the children are always the priority and they do everything possible to make sure your child is safe and secure as well as being educated in line with the curriculum set.

The staff will go over and above what is required to ensure they give your child different experiences and encourage parents to share their child's time by hosting stay and play sessions. This not only allows working parents to have the opportunity to observe their child in their daycare environment but it also gives the parents a strong sense of security that their children are being cared for to the highest possible standard. It also demonstrates Animal Crackers staff are proud of their working environment and the service they provide and so they should be.

Review from Caroline D (Mother of Child) published on 2 December 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fabulous setting and amazing staff!!!!

Our boys have been attending for over 8 weeks now and have settled very well, the staff cannot do enough and genuinely care for all the children I am overwhelmed by just how thoughtful they all are. The fact the children call the staff by the pre fix of Miss or Mr is a lovely touch.

Our 3 year old just loves his "nursery girls" and chatters about them all the time at home telling us all about going out and about and of course the fact he has seconds or thirds at lunch/ tea time!

School club- lots of different activities including playing in the barn! Our eldest son does not want to come home before 6 pm he enjoys it that much!!

The Admin Officer and the Manager are great assets, keeping me right with update emails and newsletters....I am a big fan of Animal Crackers and can now go to work and not worry about our little monkeys! Thank you so much Animal Crackers for making a change of nursery/ school club so effortless. Keep up the great work!!!
