Footsteps Canwell Nursery & Pre-School

The staff are amazing! They are so welcoming and really care about the children and their development. My son has so many lovely bonds with the staff and it's so nice to see.

I’m sure if he could talk, he’d give them a glowing review.

We have been so impressed with the nursery, even in the short time our son has been attending. He has a great time there, and the care that all the staff members have been providing has been outstanding. We love the regular updates and pictures we get via the app, and I feel they have really taken the time to get to know our son and work on what he likes in order to make him feel comfortable and to help him develop. A massive thank you from us!

A really lovely nursery with great, caring staff. We love getting the updates throughout the day of all the different activities they have been doing and seeing the pictures. We couldn’t recommend more.

My son has been attending the nursery for two months now, and he absolutely loves it. He’s settled in really well and thoroughly enjoys all of the activities he gets up to. The staff are great, they’re so friendly, and you can tell they really enjoy their jobs and love spending time with the children.

Our daughter is very happy at Footsteps Canwell Nursery & Pre-School. She connects well with the staff. There is a very happy environment for the children to play and learn.

Thank you all so much!

We have been incredibly happy with Footsteps Canwell since our daughter started in 2020. The care she receives is excellent and communication between the nursery and home is regular and consistent. The staff make every effort to get to know all of the children, even those in different rooms. Our daughter struggled at drop-off for a while and the staff went out of their way to establish a routine for her when she arrived to help settle her quickly. Our daughter has developed incredibly well and we are really pleased we chose to send her here. Her sister will be joining her very soon too!

Love the team in the baby room. Lots of great activities, regular updates and cater for all needs. Freshly made food and lots of great outdoor space to explore. The team seem very attentive and always gives great and detailed feedback each day.

My son joined in September 2022 as a rising 3 after quite a few big changes in our lives. He absolutely loves his new nursery and couldn’t have settled in better! He loves all the staff and talks about them all week. We are super happy with Footsteps and so glad we moved our son here.

First time any of my children have been in a nursery setting before, I previously used a Child Minder. I can honestly say this nursery is amazing, my child has settled in well and I'm so pleased. They do different things daily, and you can get updates throughout the day and get feedback. All the staff are so lovely and caring. Would 100% recommend this nursery.

A really fantastic nursery setting. Our little girl is always happy and full of stories from her time at preschool. The staff are all caring professionals and communication with parents is great. We love seeing updates throughout the day.

I'm very pleased with the care my baby is receiving at Footsteps. The nursery nurses are wonderful and keep my baby engaged every day. There are lots of fabulous activities both indoor and outdoor and I receive updates and pictures daily so I know my baby is having the time of his life. He adores his nursery nurses. He has come on far in his time at the nursery and this was the best decision for his development.

I am really happy with this nursery. My son has attended since he was 13 months old and is now 18 months old. The staff are very friendly, they do a variety of different activities with the children to entertain and educate them and spend a lot of time outside. They have noticed which activities my child is particularly interested in and make an effort to engage him with his preferred activities. The atmosphere feels calm and happy whenever I drop him off or have attended the stay-and-play. I get regular updates and photos via the app.

My daughter started nursery at 10 months old in the baby room, she's now 16 months old and thriving! She loves nursery, her key worker and other staff members that interact with her around the nursery. I feel comfortable leaving her at nursery with updates through the day on her daily diary. After a slight delay in her walking, feedback was listened to and acted upon to aid her standing, cruising and now walking. Her first confident steps were taken at nursery and filmed which I can't express my gratitude enough for.

Went to the stay & play for my 1-year-old today, and I must say they were absolutely amazing with the kids. They have so much energy and constantly trying their best to entertain them. I am glad we picked this nursery!

The only thing I would like is more pictures and observations. We do not get many observations come through. I know they are based on interests which take weeks at a time but it would be nice to have a weekly update on the app!

The staff are so friendly and caring. They give great feedback and you feel they genuinely care about each child. Our child loves going there. Having a forest school on site with forest school leaders is invaluable. I feel very lucky that our child goes to Footsteps nursery.

I can speak very highly of all the staff and management but for me, it's the senior and the gang!

Love the messy play, cooking and external staff activities such as singing, dance sports, football etc.
