Review from Beth S (Mother of Child) published on 25 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to Footsteps since she was 7 months old. She settled in immediately and the care she received from the outset was outstanding. As a nursing mother, I was made to feel welcome and comfortable at drop off and pickups in order to feed her.
The staff are incredibly caring and form fantastic relationships with the children. Activities are engaging and allow for individual development. The learning book is a wonderful asset as you can see regular updates including videos and pictures as well as the early years assessment. It's wonderful to be able to look back and see my daughter's journey.
The setting is brilliant and the onsite forest school is a massive positive. Children are encouraged to enjoy the outdoors space in all weathers and thoroughly enjoy it.

The management has been incredibly helpful over the last 3 years and will always go above and beyond. Our daughter has been incredibly happy at Footsteps and I can't wait for our son to start in September.

Overall Experience
When my kids started the nursery last year in September, they had no clue about the English language but the girls really helped them to learn a lot. Everyone at Footsteps is amazing and the kids just love to go there and they are so happy.

All I can say is a big big thank you for your work, ladies!

Overall Experience

Footsteps Nursery Lichfield look after our grandchildren in the most caring way any nursery could. We dropped them off periodically where they always enjoyed going in and always had smiles when they came out. All the staff were very attentive and caring. Both granddaughters are starting nursery and school in September and we know by attending this nursery it has put them both in good stead for their hopefully bright future.

Overall Experience

Our son has been at Footsteps in Lichfield since he was ten months old. From day one he was looked after with the utmost care and love. He is only leaving now because he is going into reception. We cannot express how much we have loved having him here. The learning environment, teaching and overall experience have been outstanding. The staff are incredible and put their heart and soul into their job. Thank you.

Absolutely faultless caring throughout all the years at nursery. Our son has fabulous relationships with all his nursery teachers and is a very confident, well mannered and happy little boy. Cannot recommend 'Hawthorn' enough to anyone looking for a safe and fun environment for their children.

Overall Experience

Excellent nursery and preschool. Staff are friendly, knowledgable and form great relationships with the children. Both my children have attended Footsteps in Lichfield over the last four years and it will be a sad day when they finish. It's been a pleasure and I know my children love going each day.

Review from Michelle M (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic staff, excellent range of activities and day trips. My daughter has only joined a few weeks ago and is loving it - they have helped her settle and even got her sleeping better during the day, which has had a knock-on effect in the evenings when going to bed. Really good menu selections. Compares much more favourably than other nurseries in Lichfield when looking at value for money.

Review from Lucy Y (Mother of Child) published on 4 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A lovely nursery with friendly staff. The feedback at the end of the day is great as the staff go into detail about what the children have been doing during the day. The activities that are set out look really fun but the children also get a lot out of them. It's nice to have the learning book for us parents to log onto and read about what our children get up to and to see pictures and videos.

Overall Experience
I have always found the management and staff very accommodating, efficient and friendly. I leave every day knowing my son is in very good hands. My son has come on leaps and bounds since being at Footsteps, the staff work so hard to ensure all needs are met.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone and highly praise all management and staff. Thank you to all.

Overall Experience
Our little girl loves her time at Footsteps and particularly enjoys the Forestry School which is one of the reasons we chose Footsteps for our daughter; she loves being outdoors in all weathers and this nursery suits her perfectly!
The staff are very friendly and there is always lots of different activities set out for the children every day.
We would definitely recommend this nursery and look forward to our youngest daughter starting in September!

Many thanks, Footsteps.
