Im really happy with my son's nursery. The staff are all lovely, friendly and very approachable, which makes me feel confident that he is well cared for. There are always lots of different activities for the children to enjoy, keeping them entertained and learning throughout the day. They also provide a good selection of meals and snacks. Most importantly, our son is always so happy there that he even says he wants to stay at nursery when i come to pick him up! We couldn't be happier with the care and experience he receives.

All of the staff are very friendly, welcoming and caring. What I especially appreciate is that even staff who don't work directly in my son's room know his name, which makes the nursery feel very warm and personal.
There is also a great variety of activities for the children, so every day feels interesting and engaging. My son really enjoys going to nursery and is always happy to be there.
Overall, we are very happy with the nursery and really appreciate the care and effort the staff put into making it such a positive environment for the children.

Absolutely wonderful nursery. Child has been there since approximately first birthday through preschool. Facilities excellent but the staff really make it. Everyone is so caring and there's always a sense of fun and joy. Management are superb, everything well organised and transitions, changes etc., dealt with smoothly. The food is cooked each morning and always smells delicious (and little one always eats well there). We feel part of the "family".

Fazeley footsteps was the first nursery we viewed and we knew straight away that we wanted to send our little one there, our experience has been nothing but amazing since our LO started in baby room and is currently transitioning to pre school.

Communication with key worker and wider staff has always been prompt and thorough. The app is also a great feature and I am able to check in to see vital information during my working day. I can clearly see the positive progress in my child's development as the months go on. Glad to have found this nursery when I did.

I have been with the nursery for two years now and my second child with allergies started four months ago.
I am extremely happy that we chose this nursery. Every single staff member shows they care for both my children, you can tell it's not just a job for them and I feel so safe leaving my children here. Even staff who are not working directly in the room with my children know their names and always say hello. The atmosphere is always very friendly and welcoming, nothings ever any trouble and have assisted my eldest in potty training and my youngest with walking and talking.
With my second child having allergies I was extremely worried however every member of staff have been extremely professional and looked after his extra needs perfectly.
The management are incredible, very helpful and quick to act if any problems & go above and beyond to accommodate!
100% recommend this nursery!
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review. We are delighted to hear that you have had such a positive experience with our nursery. Our team is passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for every child, and it means so much to know that this is reflected in your experience. Thank you for your continued trust and support.
I was always very apprehensive when it came to picking a nursery for my daughter to attend due to all of the horror stories you hear as a parent but after my daughter being at Footsteps for over 9 months now I can wholeheartedly say I could not have picked a better nursery for her go to. The staff...
Absolutely no faults or concerns when it comes to this nursery. I'm very happy that my daughter attends here :)
Thank you for your lovely review, its means a lot to us, that your experience is going so well. Were really please that your little one enjoys all the delicious foods we provide, compliments to the chef! Thank you again.

My LO is at this nursery and they have settled in amazingly.
The nursery is beautiful, there is large outdoor play areas, used daily, and a wonderful forest school with quails! The inside rooms are clean, well furnished with plentiful toys that quite honestly I'm jealous of! There are options of extracurricular activities including music and more recently animals! Which I know my LO will love.
As someone who has a background in teaching and awareness of the development of children in the early years they do a fantastic job here. My LO has come on leaps and bounds, I get daily updates and an in depth overview of the day on pick up.
As a first time mom, I was extremely nervous about leaving my LO at nursery but the staff are fantastic. They genuinely care for the children and it is not just a job to them. They are knowledgeable and have really built a strong bond with my LO who smiles and waves when they sees them.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear how well your little one has settled and how much they're enjoying nursery. It's wonderful to know our team has helped you feel reassured and supported. We'll be sure to share your kind words with everyone!
My daughter has been going to footsteps since she was 10 months she is now 3 years old. She absolutely loves it here and loves going to nursery. The staff are amazing. We couldn't have picked and asked for a better nursery!

The activities and play they provide align with my child's interests as well as exploring new things she hasn't played with before.
I love that she has forest school every week because she gets to enjoy and explore nature which is important to us as a family.
She always enjoys all of her food and they offer a great variety of different foods for her to try.
If I have any concerns or worries I always feel able to share them with the nursery staff.
I feel reassured that she is happy, well cared for, loved and enjoys her days there.

When we were looking at options for where to place our son, Fazeley was our second visit of the day. We knew straight away it was the right place for him and we've been proved right ever since. His relationship with the staff is lovely to see, and they've helped nurture his little personality and he has come on a bundle. It's lovely to see. We get regular feedback and updates and most importantly we have 100% trust in the nursery.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear you've been so happy with your choice and that your son is thriving with us. Knowing you feel informed, supported, and have complete trust in our team means the world to us. Thank you for being part of the Fazeley family!

Amazing nursery. I did visit another footsteps in but didn't like the vibe I got there from staff who seemed extremely loud/shouting and didn't like the layout and steep steps to one of the rooms. Whereas fazeley is clean, large space, all the staff are really friendly and my little boy settled from day 1 and loves attending this nursery. The staff are extremely attentive and provide regular updates throughout his day including photos which are a joy to view. Anymore children that I have will definitely be joini my this nursery too and i recommend this place to all friends and family
