Footsteps Canwell Nursery & Pre-School

A lovely little nursery that my daughter absolutely adores. The staff are so personable and know each child by name which means it has a real comforting feel to it. When my daughter first started at 10 months she spent most of her days crying but with the help of the staff shes really come into her own. She has way more confidence and is a lot more independent! I wouldnt send my children any where else!

My little one has just started in the baby room. In the mornings they are welcomed with smiles and go into the room happily. I call to check in and get a detailed account of their morning with information which is personal to her. The girls in the room are really warm and I know that my baby gets all the love and cuddles she needs. The girls have sent some lovely keepsakes home that we’ll treasure forever like painted footprints and pictures of themed days. Something else that I really appreciate is that most days she comes home with bottles sterilised and ready for the evening - bonus!! High recommend.

My child attends once a week. She has settled very well and has made a great connection with her key workers. They set many varied activities each week and seem to really know my child. We are well informed at the end of each day, with a full brief of what she has been up to all day. I feel my child is well looked after whilst in your care. I would like more entries to her e-learning book, maybe one per week. There have only been two since September 2021. Overall, very happy.

We honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery or staff enough!

My little boy has been attending this nursery since June 2020; we loved the nursery as soon as we went to look around it and have loved it every day since! He was just under 1 when he officially started and we were anxious about sending him to a nursery, especially with the current situation with the pandemic, but it has been such an amazing experience for him. The staff are kind and caring and my little boy has grown in confidence so much. There are wonderful activities set up each day and I just love hearing about all the fantastic things he’s been up to. Since myself and my partner are both key workers, we have had no real choice but to send him to nursery and I am so glad that Footsteps Canwell is the one we can take him to as it gives me peace of mind that he is happy when I take him and that he is so well looked after and stimulated for the whole time he’s there. Absolutely recommend this fabulous nursery.

My little boy started here in September 2020 following in the footsteps of his older brother and sister. 3rd child around and I’m still extremely happy with Footsteps Canwell. The staff are always very helpful and professional. It’s not been easy or straightforward given the covid pandemic but the staff here have handled things in my opinion with the utmost professionalism ensuring the safety of our little ones and their staff. Most importantly my little boy is so happy to go and loves his time there. Footsteps offer him an enriched array of activities that I am very pleased with. Knowing my little boy is safe and happy is paramount for me and I feel very content leaving him in the safe hands of his key worker and the other nursery nurses in his room. Thank you Footsteps, again 3rd time around.

I am so impressed with the nursery, the facilities, the staff and ultimately the care for the little ones. My son has been going to the nursery for approximately 3 months and I have been blown away by the professionalism and the friendliness of all the staff. They are really passionate about the care of the little ones and are keen to keep you fully informed of all the activities they do day to day. We joined Footsteps after having had a nightmare with another setting so were anxious about the ease of settling our son in somewhere new. They completely allayed all of our concerns and went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect. I really cannot thank them enough. The deputy manager in particular was amazing. Thank you!

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Footsteps Canwell.

Footsteps Nursery & Pre School (Canwell) is an excellent nursery. My little girl loves going and has a beaming smile when she sees the baby room staff. The staff are great, so happy and caring and I always get lots of feedback about her day at nursery. My little girl is currently transitioning into Toddler room and I'm confident that she will be just as happy in Toddlers as she has been in Babies. Cannot recommend this nursery and its staff enough.

Our son has been at the nursery just over a year and loves it. The staff are fantastic, and he gets to play outside lots, and they do a variety of creative activities as well as allowing them time for free play. The feedback is good, the food is varied and healthy, and he comes back every day full of stories of what he has been up to.

Our girls both love it here. The staff are great, the outdoor spaces are superb, the food is always varied and enjoyed thoroughly. Kids come back so happy every day. Communication is always strong, issues are reported quickly, and online tools to see what they are up to are good. Really couldn't ask for more.

Both of my children have and are attending this amazing nursery. The staff are so friendly, keep us informed of the day our children have had and are just so welcoming. My little girl loves going there and is always excited to see her friends and the staff. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely love this nursery. My two children have both attended from 12-months. My daughter is now there in preschool, and all the staff are brilliant. The nursery itself is lovely, bright and always clean. On the days my daughter attends, she literally bounces around the house waiting to go and refuses breakfast at home as she wants a nursery breakfast! Thank you all at Footsteps.

My daughter has attended Footsteps in Canwell since being in the baby room. She is now thriving in the Rising 3’s room. The activities they offer are always so varied and challenging. My daughter talks about all her friends and staff at home. They make us feel so welcome as a family, nothing is ever too much trouble! The management are also so friendly and are always happy to help.

The day I first set foot into the nursery it felt like a very welcoming environment and like every new parent, leaving your kids in the hands of strangers is daunting. Footsteps Canwell have managed this process very well and my daughter has now visited the nursery full time for the past 2 years. She speaks fondly of the staff and the activities. And I strongly believe that she will miss the nursery when she starts school this year. One of her favourite things was forest school and lots of time in the outdoors. The nursery have managed the COVID-19 adjustment process very well and I felt safe and confident in sending my daughter back to nursery. I am a full time working mum and the email and app as well as the learning book have allowed me to follow all of my daughter's developments and also have input myself. Thank you Footsteps for an amazing 2 years.

I highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a friendly, safe haven place for their child.

Best decision was to send my little boy to the nursery, great staff and a lovely nursery.

Our son started at Footsteps in January 2020 when he had just turned 1. We had previously looked around many nurseries but were drawn back to Footsteps. As soon as you walk through the door you can sense the warm, comfortable and safe space that is on offer and all of the staff are friendly and welcoming. Our son started in the baby room and has since moved up into the toddler room. He has formed positive relationships with many of the staff and we can't thank them enough for their patience and understanding as he has been hard work to settle! I can leave him there in the confidence that he will have a great time and be cared for and feel loved by all of the staff. He loves spending time in the outdoor area and never wants to leave when we come to collect him!

So “thank you” Footsteps.

Overall, I would recommend Footsteps Canwell to any parents who are looking for a safe, hygienic, fun, family-friendly childcare provider with staff who give their all to make each day a fun and exciting one.
