Footsteps Dosthill Nursery & Pre-School

They have so many activities, never worry about my little one in their care

Babies room and management have been fabulous helping my baby settle and me feel at ease leaving my baby in their care after my return to work. My baby started very early and has developed well. The variety of activity's and socialization keep him engaged and coming home completely content after full days. The nursery keep us informed with a daily diary, regular observations/ updates and are completely transparent about any bumps or sniffles. The staff really get to know the babies and provide a personal as well as professional approach to their childcare. Prices are competitive and the quality of facilities, range of activities and level of care exceeds expectations.

The staff are so lovely always with smiles on their faces and cannot do more for you!

Brilliant nursery both my children have been here. My son currently attending. They are fantastic with dietary requirements and I'm at complete ease knowing my child is in safe hands. The app keeps you up to date with what the children eat, sleep times and nappy changes which is good. I would recommend this nursery over and over again.

Our son attends Dosthill Footsteps and he loves it. We've noticed his development just especially since he's gone up to the toddler room. The staff encourage his to try new things and when he's upset on the odd occasion at drop off they will comfort him without making a big deal. They are also great with doing observation so that we can keep up with what he's doing.

My daughter has been going to Dosthill Footsteps since she was 8 months old. It's a wonderful nursery and all staff make your child feel at home and they look after them so well. Obviously been a first time parent it was scary for me putting her into nursery so young but I had to go back to work they have always made me feel so comfortable and my daughter loves going there. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

They are really the best. Our little boy is just 1.5 years old, and he absolutely loves the nursery. The team is always very positive, they have a development plan for every child and contact with them is very good too.

My child started nursery in September and since then he has developed so much physically and mentally. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. My child has come home from nursery learning new things and has settled into nursery very well.

The staff are warm, dedicated, and truly care for each child. The learning environment is engaging, helping my daughters grow academically and socially. Safeguarding is a top priority, ensuring a safe and supportive space. Highly recommended!

The staff are fantastic with our daughter and have really brought her on, we've always found the team to be attentive, caring and helpful.We have another child on the way and wouldn't contemplate any other nursery.

My daughter has attended Footsteps Dosthill since 2023 and I cannot recommend it enough. Each room she has been in she has flourished she come out of her shell and is a very confident little girl who certainly keeps the staff busy. As she prepares for pre school the staff have supported her in toilet training and as a result at 2 years old is completely dry during the day she has given up her dummy and transitioned into a bed at home. All of this would not be possible without the staffs encouragement and support. They feed her imagination and encourage her daily to express her emotions and try new things cannot thank them enough. We love it so much she will be staying at Footsteps Dosthill until she starts school in 2026 we will be sad when her journey there is over.

We put our little boy in Footsteps Nursery and have been nothing but elated with the service provided. We feel that the staff really love working with children and our boy settled in beautifully. They keep us well updated through the app from his activities and dinners, to any milestones hit. He can be a fussy eater but the meals they serve sound healthy and he enjoys them. We always feel warmly welcome in the nursery and the staff explain everything clearly and in a friendly manner. We also feel that the cost is well justified for the great service and we wouldn't want our boy to go anywhere else.

My daughter has been attending footsteps from 5 months old starting in the babies room and is now in preschool almost 3 years later. She has always enjoyed going and the staff in every room have been fantastic. There is a welcoming atmosphere at every drop off and pick up and I am confident when dropping off my daughter that not only is she going to have a great day but she will also be well looked after and cared for. 100% would recommend this nursery to anybody.

Couldn't rate Dosthill Footsteps more highly. All the staff we have met are caring, friendly, communicate well, hard working. It seems to be brilliantly ran by management with happy staff and a welcoming and supportive environment for both children and parents. I would recommend to anyone.

The nursery has been incredible in terms of providing, love, nurture and care to my son. Every member of staff genuinely cares for his well-being. I appreciate the way they support parents' involvement through stay and plays, book bags etc. The preschool room has really supported my son in becoming school-ready and more independent. The staff go above and beyond to make every single nursery day exciting and meaningful. Forest School is also exceptional and my son adores every Monday when he gets to do this.

My child has come on leaps and bounds since attending this nursery. My child absolutely loves attending nursery and has such a good rapport with all staff. They are friendly and approachable and go out of their way for you.

My daughter has been going to Footsteps since January and how much she has developed in these past 6 months has been amazing to see. The staff in the baby room are incredible, they know what she likes to play with and do if she's upset on drop off (which is very rare these days she happily walks in and says bye-bye without a glance back which shows credit to the girls how comfortable and happy she is around them). The variety of food she has is brilliant, we always joke she eats better than we do, and her speech has come on so much. Our favourite thing is kind hands, it is the cutest thing to see! We are so happy we chose footsteps and have already recommended you to our friends who have confirmed a place for there like one.

The staff are amazing, my child absolutely loves the staff and always talks about them at home. She loves going to nursery. They are always friendly and willing to help. I feel like they know the children and treat them like individuals.

Our two boys love going to Footsteps, their development has come on leaps and bounds since joining. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Our son in rising 3's, doesn't stop talking about nursery and his key worker! This is real progress, as he really struggled with his confidence and vocabulary when he first joined! Thanks for everything!

Although we have only been attending for a few months, the staff have made us feel so welcome. My son has settled in so quickly thanks to the care and attention of the team. As a nervous first-time mom going through this all for the first time - the whole experience has been really reassuring.
