Review from J H P (Mother of Child) published on 3 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been happy attending nursery since the 1st day. Staff are all super friendly, offer advice when asked about how to help development etc and I have absolutely no concerns leaving my daughter in their care. The staff put our minds at rest when we call to check on her, which they never mind
us doing if we have any concerns.


On a couple of occasions, my daughter was ill at nursery and I could not fault the Footsteps staff in how they dealt with the situation. They reacted quickly and even the nursery manager sat with her until I arrived.


The outdoor play area is safe, well equipped and fun for all the children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves attending nursery and has had it changed mid-term due to us moving home. This has been a seamless transition (she moved from Dosthill to Cannock). My daughter's confidence has soared and she seems well equipped for school. I know she will miss her teachers and friends that she has
made when she moves in September. The staff are always cheerful, even at the end of the day. I always feel safe leaving my daughter there.

Footsteps is such a lovely environment to send our children to. They both have a lovely time when they are there and learn new things daily. All the staff are lovely and have a wonderful bond with the children. This is very important to me that they have people they are happy to go to.

My child is currently in the toddlers room at this Nursery and he absolutely loves it! He has been here since he was 8 months old. The Nursery has recently been renovated and now has excellent resources. The staff are all friendly and very approachable. The food which is all prepared onsite is excellent,
my son who can be fussy arts everything! I feel that my son is getting an excellent start to his early years education and would highly recommend it.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.038)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.038) out of 10 for Footsteps Cannock Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.896 for Footsteps Cannock Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.896
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.142 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Footsteps Cannock Nursery & Pre-School is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 117 number of registered child places is 23.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.4 = 0.342
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2019

Hello, my name is Toni, I’m the Deputy Manager here at Cannock.


I joined Footsteps in 2019 as a Senior Room Leader in preschool and then went on to be promoted to Deputy Manager in February 2022. I qualified in 2010 as a level 3 practitioner and went on to gain experience in both schools and private settings.


Our nursery builds an environment inspired by the children’s interests, making secure bonds and attachments with children. Our fantastic team ensure every child has the best experiences and enjoys their time spent at Footsteps.


The early years are what I love most, watching children learn and grow from babies through to preschool and knowing you have been a part of their learning journey is amazing!
