The staffs in movers (can't mention names) have been kind, they sing to my girl immediately she comes in to help her settle. She can now sing some nursery rhymes and absolutely loves it in the nursery.
Thank you everyone

We have been delighted with Footsteps for both of our children! They put.a lot of time and effort into activities for the children to engage with and learn from and both of our children have come home having learnt so much (nursery rhymes, books, dance). The staff are so caring and I feel that my children are well looked after.

Both of my boys attend this nursery and they have flourished since doing so. The staff are so friendly, helpful and always put the needs/safety of the children first. The environment is professional and friendly, along with safe and fun for the children. I would highly recommend Footsteps for anyone looking for a nursery/preschool.

The staff really care, my daughter always seems happy and doesn't want to leave. Lots of engagement and fun activities, and great outdoor space! Encouragement of daily activities and the staff always get stuck in.

An award winning nursery and you can understand straight away why that is. The staff are all professional and the facilities are out of this world. It is worth mentioning the leadership, the managers are exemplary and very warming and understanding of a parent's questions or feelings. You won't find better in the area in my opinion. My daughter always comes home well mannered (but sad she's leaving) and also growing in education exponentially here. Please don't feel hesitant to visit and meet the team here, you won't be disappointed at all.
Thank you so much! We are glad your daughter is making such great progress here with us.
The staff are lovely, and friendly and keep you informed on how your child's day has been, what they have eaten and what they have been learning today. My child struggled at first but they were so lovely and helpful with getting him settled in. They follow the curriculum and my child often comes home having learned something new. They post regular photos and updates which is lovely. They also spend lots of time outside which my child loves! The meals they prepare are excellent and they are very mindful of allergies! They are incredible compared to the childcare provider my child used to attend!
Thank you for this and we are so happy your child enjoys nursery so much!
My children have been attending Footsteps Nursery since they were 10 months old, having started during the lockdown period. From day one, the support provided by the nursery has been exceptional, not only for my children but also for our entire family. I've seen tremendous growth and development in both of my children, and it's been amazing to watch them flourish during these early years.
Footsteps has created an environment where my children feel safe, happy, and supported. This nurturing atmosphere has allowed them to thrive, and I truly believe that a happy child makes for a happy parent. The staff have been incredibly attentive to both the children's needs and ours as parents, ensuring that we feel confident and reassured.
I highly recommend Footsteps Nursery, not just for their excellent child development programs but for their holistic approach to supporting families. The care and dedication they offer have made a huge difference for us, and I couldn't be more grateful.
Thank you for your review! We have loved being part of that journey.
Fantastic nursery and preschool that we would highly recommend. Our elder son has been through every room over the past 3.5 years and has been well cared for; from the babies' room, all the way through to preschool. Our younger son is now at the nursery and has settled in very well. Staff are excellent and the nursery is very well run.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! we are glad you have been happy for the last 3.5 years
Our son has been going to Footsteps Stafford for over three years and is now leaving to start school. We have been delighted with the care and attention he has received from all of the staff, from the baby room through to preschool. Our younger son is currently in the baby room and has bonded very well with the staff too. We think Footsteps Stafford is a fantastic nursery and would highly recommend it.
Thank you for your lovely recommendation, we are so happy your older child enjoyed their time here!
The teacher's dedication and enthusiasm create a nurturing and stimulating environment that encourages children to explore, learn, and grow. It strikes the perfect balance between structured learning and creative play. Our child has developed a love for learning, thanks to the engaging activities and lessons that are tailored to be both fun and educational. Communication with parents is also a top priority at Footsteps Nursery. We were regularly updated on our child's progress. Footsteps it's more than just a nursery; it's a place where children are encouraged to be curious, kind, and confident. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our child and highly recommend Footsteps Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, educational, and joyful early learning experience.
Thank you so much for this! we are so pleased to have been such a big part of your child's early years!
Our son has attended Footsteps since the age of 1. He has always received the warmest of welcome from all the staff members and developed such lovely bond with them all. My son always arrives excited to attend.
Thank you for your lovely review! It is lovely to see the children happy.
The team at Footsteps have built a strong positive relationship with my child, they are supportive, adaptive and encouraging towards her development as an individual and socially with her peers. My daughter enjoys the activities, and friends she has made and is responsive to the team. She also loves the food.
Thank you for your lovely review! The food is always a big hit.
As an anxious mum who finds it hard to trust anyone with their baby, Footsteps has gone above and beyond for my boy since he started. He has come on leaps and bounds and comes home with a new skill every day! He goes in happy and comes home happy. The staff love him like he's their own family and I can see the bonds he's created there.
This really is lovely! thank you so much and we are happy he feels like family.
My son attended from the age of 9 months until he turned 3. We had a good experience at Footsteps. He was happy throughout his time there, the staff were all caring and attentive and clearly knew my son and the other children well. It did feel at times the days could be a bit more structured - but ultimately I knew he was safe, well looked after, had good outdoor space to play in, and lots of toys and friends.
We are glad you enjoyed your time at nursery and especially our outdoor space!
All staff are extremely attentive and my son developed considerably when moving through each room/stage of his learning. I would thoroughly recommend Footsteps to anyone considering a nursery in the Stafford area.
Thank you for this! it's great your son has enjoyed so many years here and continues to make such great progress.
We are so grateful to the staff at Footsteps, especially those in the toddler and rising 3' rooms. The room senior really understands our little boys and we've been lucky enough for him to have had her for a couple of rooms now. She takes her time to understand the child's development level and caters for that need via play/education/conversation. Out boy loves nursery and that is down to the environment provided in the setting.
Thank you for your kind words! we are glad your son loves nursery
Staff teams in both the toddler room and preschool room work closely with us as parents to support us with reaching milestones and show a true passion for what they do.
Thank you for our lovely review, we are glad you enjoy the wow moments!
My son loves preschool, he really bonded with a few of the staff members when he started last year, and he has kept that connection, lovely staff, who are always friendly, do observations on a regular basis which is nice to see.
Lovely to hear you like to see the regular observations we send!
Absolutely amazing staff, they are a credit to Footsteps! My son turns up every day excited and I have great confidence that he is looked after every second he is there. From activities to food, everything is great! I have also noticed significant development in my son and credit goes to the staff for that.
Glad your son enjoys nursery so much and thank you for your review!
I couldn't be happier with this nursery if I tried. The girls in the Mover's room are absolutely brilliant and go above and beyond daily for the children here. We have noticed a huge boost in his development since starting. He has built valuable relationships with the staff (especially one member of staff who is just absolutely amazing) and the facilities and the whole atmosphere of the nursery is really good. Would definitely recommend and I'm going to be heartbroken when we have to take him out and send him to school!
Sounds like your child has a great time! Thank you for such lovely feedback.
