Footsteps Cannock Nursery & Pre-School

Footsteps has been a fantastic nursery and preschool for us - we have had both of our boys attend, one has recently left to go to reception class and is well socialised, had a head start on writing skills etc. All staff are lovely and helpful, and support the children in many different ways. Love how we get a detailed daily update and photos on the app too. Would recommend!

Thank you.

My son joined the nursery in the lower movers class in when he was 14 months old and prior to this, he had never been left alone with anyone so you can imagine this was a huge step for us both! I can honestly say from our first visit, and the settle-in sessions we had, I was assured he would be safe and well looked after and he loves going to nursery! All the staff in lower and movers are so kind, caring, compassionate and loving towards my son and the other children, which is lovely to see! He has a good variety of activities and play to help him develop and he’s come on really well since starting. They have accommodated his allergies and the home-cooked food is healthy, varied and amazing. The manager and her deputy are very visible, involved in my son’s care and are accessible, which is a great leadership style to see! The receptionist is also very friendly and helpful with any queries. I would highly recommend this lovely nursery to anyone!

Footsteps have been amazing with our daughter. She has come on leaps and bounds since joining. Being our firstborn, her social skills with other babies and children were limited but Footsteps have really helped with this. My daughter also suffers from eczema and allergies and Footsteps have been brilliant with this!

I can't thank them enough for everything they do for us!

The girls in the preschool room are simply excellent. They go over and above every day to provide a great environment for my son. Having previously attended a different nursery, the difference is abundantly clear and my son is thriving. This is all backed by a conscientious, skilled and professional management team.

My daughter has been attending nursery since 9 months old and is currently in rising 3s. I cannot fault the care she receives. She has grown so much since being at the nursery. Although she only attends twice a week, she always counts down the days to go back. There is always great communication from staff to parents and this has greatly improved since the parent app was introduced. As a working parent, it really allows me to feel involved in my daughter's day at nursery with updates and photos. You are all amazing and I would not hesitate to recommend Footsteps to anyone considering a nursery place.

The inside is very clean, and toys are not destroyed. The smell is so lovely.

The staff in the baby room are so attentive, warm and nurturing. As soon as you walk into the room there is happy energy, singing and lots of smiles from both staff and children. The room itself is spotless with a wide range of age-appropriate toys, books etc. The room is bright and child-centred. Children are offered a wide range of meals and nothing feels too much trouble re: dietary needs. My son's keyworker spent time getting to know him and this was evident in the detailed daily write-ups about him which are so individual to him it's so lovely and reassuring. The staff really care and that makes me feel at ease when leaving my little one. Thank you Footsteps for an amazing start for my son.

The staff at Footsteps are fantastic and go out of their way to make the children happy and parents reassured. My little boy takes a while to settle after I drop him off, and the staff always give him a cuddle and distract him, then put photos on the app so I can see him happily playing. He tells me that his teacher is kind and he loves her, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. At pick up, the staff tell you what the children have been doing in the day and sometimes come home with pictures or food the children have made. The children take part in a good variety of activities, and they get to play out in the garden. I’m really pleased with how my boy has developed since attending Footsteps; it has encouraged him to play with other children, and most importantly for us, he has lots of fun.

He goes in with a smile on his face and comes out with one.

We have used Footsteps in Cannock for both our children since 2017 and cannot speak highly enough of the manager, the staff and the attention to detail and care put into the nursery and the children. It is a very happy environment with a variety of activities and varied enrichment for all the ages. Nothing is ever too much trouble and staff are always very friendly, welcoming and approachable.

My daughter has been attending Footsteps Cannock Nursery & Pre-School for a while now and she absolutely loves it! She has come on so much and has an amazing relationship with the staff in her room, they all know how to support my child and what makes her feel safe and happy when I drop her off. They truly are amazing.

My daughter has attended this nursery since last March, and it was the best decision we made. My daughter is now in rising 3s and has never been happier, and loves going to nursery twice a week. The manager and staff have been excellent with my daughter, they are always polite and helpful and keep us updated throughout the day, my daughter always leaves happy and smiling and the staff inform me of everything that she has done at nursery that day. The facilities are always clean and tidy.

Can’t rate the nursery more highly. The staff are amazing and nothing is ever too much trouble. Recently my daughter needed open heart surgery and the staff were so supportive during her recovery. It meant a lot to know they cared. My daughter loves going to nursery and has come on so much with her development through attending Footsteps.

They try to silence you and shut down all concerns you have as a parent. I've worked in nurseries myself and would never treat a parent this way.

Putting my 20 month old son in Footsteps Cannock has been the best decision I have made. I cannot fault the nursery. My little boy is settling in so well. Security is fantastic, Staff are helpful, compassionate and great with the children. Communication is amazing with updates during the course of the day. The kids are fed well balanced meals prepared by in house chef and the activities with the children are well varied. Would definitely recommend it to other parents.

I can not say enough good things about this nursery and its staff. My grandson started in the baby room and has moved up rooms with ease. The staff, the facility, and the support and encouragement they provide are fantastic. I hear people say they can't believe how much nursery costs, honestly, we are trusting these lovely people with our treasured, most precious children and they are worth every penny. I love the updates throughout the day on the app, being able to see my grandson enjoying himself is priceless. Keep up the good work and I will recommend you to anyone that asks!

I have two children who attended Cannock's Footsteps. One in the baby room and one in preschool. My youngest daughter is so settled when I leave her, no tears or anything. I have regular updates throughout my day on her, from what she has eaten to what hours she has slept, and amazing pictures of their super fun activities, from visiting the park in the turtle bus and playing with the parachute. I'm so happy with the nursery and cannot fault it in any way. The staff are professional, welcoming and so friendly. My big girl is in preschool and again she is so happy to go to nursery that she even asks me if it's nursery days occasionally. She loves science club and didi dance! I'm so happy with the nursery and would recommend it to anybody. From baby room up until preschool! My girls love it!

Highly recommend!
