Footsteps Lichfield Road Nursery & Pre-School

Footsteps Lichfield Road is amazing, I can't recommend them enough. The care they give to all of the children is outstanding. They treat both of my daughters like their own. The outdoor space at the nursery is great and the food menu is brilliant. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else!

Lovely nursery. Practitioners are all amazing. So supportive with the kids and parents. Child currently in preschool. The curriculum is amazing and the kids learn so much. Child always happy when I drop him off in the morning. Really looks forward to go nursery. Could not fault Footsteps. Amazing overall. Very happy.

Both of my children have attended the nursery and I cannot fault them at all. The children love coming in. The key workers are fantastic and have clearly built strong relationships with the children. The variety of activities are fantastic and the children are learning new things every week. I would recommend the nursery to all parents.

My daughter has been coming for 2 years and has learnt so much since starting.

Footsteps Day Nursery has been absolutely amazing in supporting my child through the last 2 years and now he will be off to school in September. The staff are amazing and always put the children first and always keep you updated with many events that are taking place throughout the nursery! I can't wait to send our 8-month-old in a few months!

My little boy has been at Footsteps since he was 7 months old (he is now 2.5 years old) and my youngest is due to start in September. I adore the nursery, the staff is so lovely towards my boys, he enjoys nursery and it has aided his development so much. They have taken him out on numerous excursions as well as providing invaluable advice regarding supporting behaviours, potty training and sleep, as well as advice regarding the childcare policies and hours available for children. They as also great at providing pictures/updates which are also lovely to read when you are at work. The nursery always responds quickly through the app and have also been able to attend a paediatric first aid course and nursery social organised through the nursery.

Being a teacher myself I researched nurseries thoroughly and am almost hyper-vigilant about things such as safeguarding etc. Footsteps Lichfield Road have never put a foot wrong. I will happily have both of my boys there in September.

My son is in the Rising 3s room. I could not be more impressed and happy with the care my son receives. The staff are so professional and supportive to the children and parents alike. His speech development and other skills have come on leaps and bounds and he really loves being there which makes taking him to nursery a much easier transition.

Our daughter has been at Footsteps Lichfield Road now for around 3 months and I am so impressed with the baby room. The team in the room are fantastic, hugely friendly and supportive. The staff member who is our daughter's key worker and the room senior is brilliant, we also deal a lot with another staff member, who is always so happy and upbeat. Our daughter also clearly loves them both. The best way I can describe the care they give is that I never worry or think twice about leaving my daughter with them. They care for her like she is their own, and I really feel like that is all I can ask. The food choices and feedback we get on activities are good and we feel like she has variety within her nursery days. They are supportive of her development too and are actively interested in the steps she takes outside of work. Whilst we would always like to see more pictures and observations of her, I can't think of any reason why I wouldn't highly recommend any parent send their baby here.

Our son has been attending Footsteps Lichfield Road Nursery & Pre-School since he was 12 months old and it truly feels like he's part of a little family. Every member of staff (whether they're working in his current classroom or not) always greets him warmly and knows his name. Our son chatters away to us about pre-school when he's at home and talks about the staff with the same enthusiasm and love with which he talks about the little friends he has made. He absolutely loves forest school and the responsibilities and skills they learn there and is always being kept super active with weekly Rugbytots (which he loves) and plenty of opportunities for outdoor play in the large gardens. There's been many a time when I've arrived to take him home at the end of the day and he simply doesn't want to leave because he's having too much fun! There's not a lot more that you want as a parent, to see your child happy, developing well and being genuinely cared for with true affection by those whose care you leave them in.

Our daughter joined this nursery in February 2023 after we moved into the area from another location. Her development and confidence have come on leaps and bounds since she joined Footsteps. She joined the Rising 3's room and is now in pre-school with her due to start primary school in September. Our daughter loves going to nursery and it really is a home from home for her and us! All the staff we have encountered are polite, and kind and have the children's best interests at heart. There has recently been some movement in the staff but what we like is that the staff regularly move between rooms so the children know all teachers by name and vice versa with the teachers and children. We have marked down slightly on food/nutrition as sometimes the meal offerings can be limited due to our child's allergy. Keep up the good work Footsteps Lichfield Road!

That being said, my little one loves coming to Footsteps to see his friends and teachers and we do enjoy the activities that are planned for the children and for parents to attend such as Christmas shows, Mother’s Day concerts, stay and play, summer fete etc. I would therefore recommend this setting.

Great team in Rising 3s!

I couldn't have chosen a better nursery for my son. We are extremely pleased with the setting as a whole. (Including management and staff).

Really happy with the nursery. My littlen has settled in well, and I feel happy leaving him at the nursery. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly; they seem to have good relationships with the children. The activities are creative and varied. Overall, very happy.

Staff are friendly and approachable and clearly care about the children in their care. There is a good range of activities available, and feedback in the form of daily diaries and verbal handovers is detailed and thorough. Our child has a strong bond with their key worker, but all the staff are familiar with them, including knowing them by name and greeting them in the mornings when passing. Our child has had a wonderful experience since starting, and we are incredibly grateful and appreciative of the work that all the staff do.

Have a nice day and fun!

I have used childminding care previously and have found that though private nursery is more expensive, it is worth the extra cost for the level of care and stability.

She often comes out messy and looking like she’s had a busy and fun day!

The nursery is amazing, offers so much and has lots of activities really happy with it. My son loves it there, always has a smile on his face when arriving, talks about it when he’s at home, loves all the staff and has made so many friends.

I find the staff very nurturing towards my daughter, and they are attentive to her needs.
