Review from Sophie A (Mother of Child) published on 16 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is amazing, my son settled in straight away and he has learnt so much. He is very confident since being at nursery, they don’t stick to a strict schedule if my son doesn’t want to play or do an activity, they will cater for his needs. His speech is amazing, he is very clever and that’s down to this nursery. I would tell anybody to go and take their child to this nursery, the fact they have a forest school too, my little boy loves it.

Review from Stephanie S (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We’ve been sending our 1-year-old since he was 8 months old and it’s the best decision I’ve made. The staff are brilliant, selfless and care for my child as well as I do. He is well entertained, well-fed and has come on leaps and bounds with the help from the team. He can walk, say three words and is developing other key skills that his peers who don’t attend nursery haven’t learnt yet. He has made amazing relationships with the team.

Overall Experience

The fact that my daughter runs in without even turning around to say goodbye to me says it all. She loves it here, has lots of “best friends” and has progressed massively since attending over a year ago. Every single member of staff is lovely and so helpful.

Overall Experience

An amazing nursery setting! Really helped to settle my son into nursery and to transition him into another room. The team are really helpful and attentive with my son's care. The nursery itself is clean with an amazing outdoor space and lots of things to do to engage the children. I would also like to add how good the safety measures around Covid-19 have been!

Overall Experience

My son started Lichfield Road in the Movers Room and now is currently in Rising 3's. Since starting at Lichfield Road, he has progressed leaps and bounds. He is a confident, happy little boy and is always supported by the staff. He always comes home able to tell us what a wonderful day he has had and the amazing things he gets up to. Cannot thank the girls enough.

Overall Experience

Footsteps have been brilliant since returning from lockdown. The staff have been brilliant with our son, and it's been nice for him to enjoy going back to nursery after an unsettling year. The staff in the toddlers/rising 3's have been supportive and always are the first to put our minds at rest. Thank you for making everything so easy for us!

Overall Experience

My little one has been going to Footsteps for over a year. The staff in each room are warm and welcoming, can not fault it. Great menu for the children each week offering a wide range of dishes. Exciting and creative activities planned each day; they have a forest school, which my little one really enjoys.

Picked up my nephew last week, and the staff were just lovely. The young girl seemed to be in great control of the children and kept them very organised. It’s helped my nephew so much getting back into a routine with everything going on in the world right now.

Review from Ethan B-M (Uncle of Child) published on 19 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My nephew always comes home telling me about the nursery. He talks about his friends and what he gets up to. He enjoys nursery and always is happy when he comes home. His favourite thing about the nursery is forest school. His favourite activity at the moment was using the drill, he brought his pictures to show what he had done at nursery.

Overall Experience

We were quite anxious as parents sending our child back to nursery after lockdown. She had grown up quite a bi,t and needed to move to the next room. Thankfully, the wonderful staff made her so welcome, and she settled into her new room almost instantly. Our daughter loves going to nursery. She’s always excited to get going and is very comfortable with all of the staff. Thank you.

Overall Experience

Great nursery, I have used for both my children and we have been really pleased. The younger rooms, in particular, are lovely - very nurturing staff and both my children flourished. The outdoor space is wonderful with a wide variety of outdoor toys and activities and a forest school. They also have french classes and jo jingles classes. Great food too from the chef. There is also the opportunity for flexibility with my child’s which is important to us.

I and my husband are very happy with how our daughter has progressed since joining Footsteps in November 2019. We particularly like the variety of activities available each day.

Our daughter has built up a good bond with the staff members that take care of her and she looks forward to each day within the movers room.

Review from Betsy N (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As I was really apprehensive about leaving my little girl to go back to work it was a really difficult job finding a nursery we were happy with until we viewed footsteps. It felt right as soon as we had walked through the door.
Both the staff and the manager did an excellent job of making a difficult time much easier to deal with.
Our daughter is settled, well looked after and happy when we drop her off each day and collect her which is all every parent could ask for!
A great outdoor space too!

Thanks, girls! B x

Footsteps is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has been attending for just over a year, and she adores the staff and has made lots of friends. If you ever have any concerns or questions, the staff go above and beyond to make sure that you are happy. I can't recommend them enough.

This is a wonderful nursery. Both my children have attended here from 10 months old, and each room has been fantastic. The staff are lovely, not just the girls in the rooms but also the office staff and the chef. I would recommend this nursery to everyone, my son loves his time here each week and my daughter often says she wants to come back for the day instead of going to school!
