Footsteps Fazeley Nursery & Pre-School

Our little boy has been extremely happy at Footsteps Fazeley for the past 4 years. He started just as he was turning 1 and is now finishing preschool and has had a fantastic experience in all four rooms. Staff are friendly, welcoming and have built lovely relationships with him, indulging in his interests and ensuring he feels safe. The nursery has lovely indoor and outdoor spaces which are regularly refreshed and updated to keep them interesting and exciting for the children. Staff have provided stimulating activities at each stage of his development and he loves the extra-curricular offer, particularly Forest School!

We are very appreciative she is a member of the Fazeley Footsteps

My son attends the nursery and is always happy to go, and enjoys his days there. The staff are friendly and professional, and I have the peace of mind knowing he is safe and learning new things whilst there. They continue to monitor his development, and any questions regarding his development or general wellbeing are answered timely and dealt with professionally. The nursery itself is always clean and well presented, and I would not hesitate in recommending it to friends or colleagues.

We've had a lovely experience of the viewing and onboarding process at Footsteps Fazeley. Having to be quite a rushed process on our side the staff at the nursery have been nothing but accommodating, responsive and supportive. We are under no illusion that this has helped our child settle in so well who seems to really enjoy his days. He's already mastered some new skills in just a few short weeks and we are really glad we chose Footsteps Fazeley.

My oldest left this summer well-prepared to start school. Really impressed with how well preschool prepares the children. My youngest loves nursery, playing in forest school and getting messy. The staff are encouraging my child to talk more and learn new vocabulary. The staff are very supportive and always willing to help where possible.

All the staff are so lovely and genuinely take an interest in my son. He absolutely loves going and we couldn't ask for more. He particularly loves forest school - we loves all the activities, and really given him confidence outside of nursery.

Absolutely brilliant. We have both our kids there and they love it. They respect our family choices and work alongside us. Loads of 'play to learn' activities for the kids to develop their skills, with lots of outside space, forest school and messy play. My kids love the food the chef prepares. They always have nutritious and balanced meals. I couldn't have found a better nursery for my children.

This review is not only for June but all year. Our daughter has continued to thrive in the preschool setting, and this is all down to the hard-working staff. They have brilliant relationships with the children and provide a safe, caring and stimulating setting. I do wish the owning group would invest more into the outside facilities by providing more equipment, and updating what is there. Educational equipment would be of huge benefit.

Thank you and well done everyone.

I highly recommend Footsteps Fazeley. My son (18 months) has grown in confidence since being here. He absolutely loves the forest school and the music sessions. The staff are friendly and professional.

Really excellent nursery! My son really struggled with separation anxiety and they worked with us to help him get the most out of nursery. He also has allergies which they cater to really well and ensure he gets to eat as similar food to the other children as possible. I would recommend this nursery to others.

Staff is very nice and helpful with the settling in. Room is clean and spacious. They are doing lots of activities and have a good routine in place. Overall it’s a good space for the little ones to spend their day.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since 9 months old, and for a first-time mom, the girls at Fazeley Footsteps have made it such an easy process for us. She absolutely loves going to nursery, and usually waves me off at the door when I drop her off. They do so much fun stuff with the children, as well as keeping everywhere clean (especially with the unavoidable nursery bugs). I have watched my daughter grow up so much since attending this nursery, and watching her little personality bloom!

From day one I was happy to leave my daughter at the nursery - she loves her keyworker and other staff so rarely gets upset when I leave. The range of activities she gets the opportunity to take part in is far greater than I could have imagined. I’m also grateful to the nursery staff for the support they’ve given when dropping bottles and transitioning to cow's milk. I know I’ll get that continued support as my daughter progresses through the rooms.

Before we booked a visit we looked at the recent Ofsted inspection to support our choice, it tells you all and made us want to look around. Thank you Footsteps for making it easier for us, we highly recommend it. At the front of the building, there is building work so can be hard to find.

The staff are always helpful with my child. They are always there if he is struggling with the transition of a morning. They always give me updates on how my child is doing throughout the day, especially if the morning was difficult. They are always happy and smiling with you when you come through the door, just giving you hope that your child is going to have a good day, and every day so far, my child has come out happy and has enjoyed himself.

The facilities are very good and you can see that the team are always looking for the best way to encourage the children with day-to-day learning and play.

From the moment we stepped into the nursery, it was clear that the staff truly care about the well-being and development of each child. The warm and welcoming atmosphere instantly put our minds at ease, knowing that our little ones would be in safe hands. The dedicated team of teachers and caregivers consistently demonstrate a genuine love for what they do, and it is reflected in the exceptional care they provide. The staff is always available and willing to discuss any concerns or questions. The open lines of communication and regular updates on our children's progress have been invaluable, providing reassurance and allowing us to actively participate in their learning journey. Their outstanding care and commitment to each child's growth is truly exceptional. It is a place where children thrive, and parents feel confident that their little ones are receiving the highest level of care and education. We recommend it to anyone seeking an exceptional nursery experience.

Finally, management was never present and always hid behind the deputy and assistant managers.

I have picked up my niece a few times from baby room at Footsteps Fazeley Nursery & Pre-School and I must say it is by far the best nursery I have seen! The staff are so lovely and welcoming and the handovers I have received from the girls in the room were so detailed and it was lovely knowing how well my child was getting on after only starting a couple of months ago and how far she has come since being there!
