We have been using Footsteps in Dosthill now for over 4 years. Footsteps offers a warm caring environment with lots of fun educational activities. Staff are all very welcoming (and also importantly most of them have been there for several years which provides confidence that this is a good nursery and good employer). Nursery is clean and tidy. It is quite a small nursery, but they make the most of their space they still have a lovely outdoor forest school and also do off site trips to the local nature reserve that my eldest loved.
All of the staff have been both friendly and kind to me and my son while he has recently settled in. They have made the transition back to work and childcare much easier than I thought it would be. They are observant and professional in spotting changes in health, behaviors and routines. They have given my son experiences and care that have enriched his life, rather than imply looking after him while I'm at work. The food is great, the environment is great - I can't fault any of it. I've already recommended them to other mums I know!
He goes twice a week, and took him about a month to settle in properly.
He has developed into a very confident, independent child, and that is down to the nursery.

Meet the Team (2)
Hello, my name is Samantha, I have been a Nursery Manager since 1998 and I joined Footsteps at the beginning of August 2002 and have been the Nursery Manager at Dosthill since when we first opened our doors to families.
I hold a level 3 diploma in childcare, and I have also completed my level 4 in management. I am passionate about childcare and have been with the nursery for a long time. I have built a strong bond with my setting, my team, the local community, and the families that use our services, I take great pride in being a part of each child’s growth and development as they progress and achieve during their time with us at nursery until eventually, they graduate on to their further education at school.
Here at Dosthill, we ensure every child’s individual needs are met and support their growth and development with the tools they need to succeed. Our nursery offers a comforting home-from-home environment, and our facilities give children unique opportunities that enhance their experiences and support their individual achievements and milestones.
Our fantastic team provide a varied range of rich and stimulating activities based on the core areas of learning and by incorporating the children’s keen interests our child-led activities naturally encourage children to be engaged every day.
Hello, my name is Rachael, I have been a Deputy Manager since 2003 and I started my journey at Footsteps at our Lichfield Road Nursery in 2009. In 2020 I joined the team here at Dosthill Nursery.
I hold a Foundation Degree and working with children has always been my passion, I have experience working with children of all age groups within Early Years and it’s an absolute pleasure, to see them grow and develop throughout their years with us.
At Footsteps we remain one step ahead in childcare and our nursery actively promotes change and new and exciting ways to fulfil our family’s needs, exceeding their requirements.
Our fantastic team ensure that high exceptions are met every day and that each day children spend with us is full of awe and wonder.
