My daughter started at the nursery in October, after already going to a nursery previously I was a little unsure to how she would settle in. To my delight she has settled in beautifully she has progressed in leaps and bounds. Staff are very supportive of home routine and also the care and affection to each child is outstanding. The nursery is very well maintained and clean and such a welcoming environment. My daughter also has special dietary requirements such as gluten and dairy free. The nursery have fully supported her diet with providing alternatives and allowing my daughter to have the same as other children. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough truly is amazing.
Very good and friendly setting.

Being a working parent can often create stress and pressure but knowing that your children are being well cared for, developing and making friends and having fun, really does help to ease any parent guilt. Both my children have created strong bonds with the carers at the setting. It really is like a home from home. Thank you Footsteps Nursery & Pre School, you really are all great.

Footsteps Canwell is an excellent nursery, my daughter has been there since she was 1 year old and I have been very pleased with her development and learning. Over her time, she has built strong relationships with the staff even if they haven’t been her key worker or assigned to her room. It has a very family feel to the nursery and all support one another. I love that the nursery has a forest school and ensure the children play outside daily. They do a wide range of activities that develop all skills and prepare them for school. My daughter asks to go to nursery at the weekend so that pretty much sums up her experience there. Pleased my 2nd daughter is getting the same experience there now.
My son has been attending Footsteps, Canwell for about 6 months now and at 18 months old he is very happy. It is a lovely, warm, clean and very friendly environment. The staff are wonderful with the children and my son is very happy there. I would definitely recommend it.

Our son loves his days at Footsteps. The staff are excellent, approachable and caring for our little boy. Even the staff in other children’s rooms know my son's name and are so friendly. The nursery is clean, bright and would highly recommend to any parent.

My son is extremely happy at Footsteps Nursery. The staff have time to get to know all the children and he feels comfortable with all staff members. I have been impressed with the confidence and independence that he has developed whilst at nursery. Staff consistently feed back to me after every session and appear interested in my sons life outside of nursery. This gives me confidence that they care for his general welfare. The food is consistently good and the children's behaviour is impressive. I am very happy with this nursery.
We're both so pleased that we sent our baby daughter to Footsteps. The kids do loads of fun activities, that engage and build confidence. The 'Forest School' was an area that appealed, with outdoor wildlife to feed, such as chickens. Staff genuinely care for our little girl and that means a lot....
We're both so pleased that we sent our baby daughter to Footsteps. The kids do loads of fun activities, that engage and build confidence. The 'Forest School' was an area that appealed, with outdoor wildlife to feed, such as chickens. Staff genuinely care for our little girl and that means a lot. She is excited to go and has a great connection with staff. I highly recommend Footsteps Canwell. P.s. - food is freshly made, salt free and very healthy/tasty.
Brilliant nursery! Staff are very friendly, food cooked on site and range of engaging activities. I'm very pleased with how well my daughter has settled into nursery. I would highly recommend footsteps!

I am the very proud manager of Footsteps Canwell.
I absolutely love my role here at Footsteps as Canwell is a quirky little building with a warm, home from home feel.The team work closely together and no room is far from the other so children flow in transition between stages of the nursery as they grow and develop.
I am lucky enough to work with some of the most kind and caring practitioners who are all so passionate about their roles and the important work we do.On site we have our own Forest School which opens up a wealth of opportunities for children to explore the wonders of the outdoor world.

I am the Deputy Manager here at Footsteps Canwell, I been working for Footsteps since June 2019 where I began as an apprentice.In 2021 I progressed to a room senior in the Baby room before transitioning into Rising 3’s where I previously had lots of experience.
I am versatile and adapt well with all age groups which I consider a huge strength of mine.
I truly love working within the childcare sector and giving our children the best start to life by sparking excitement and learning into their nursery days.
