Overall Experience

Footsteps is amazing! My granddaughter loves going there and is always talking about nursery when she is not there! She has been at Footsteps since she was a baby and has been through all of the rooms and is due to leave for school in August. As a family, we will be very sad to leave Footsteps and would highly recommend to anyone who wants high standard childcare.

Review from Sam B (Mother of Child) published on 4 June 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Since starting at Footsteps Babyroom at 10 months old my daughter has developed so well! She is now trying to take steps with the support of the staff.
She loves the girls in the room but has created a really good relationship with her keyworker.
The girls in Babyroom are amazing, friendly & approachable. They always go above and beyond to help and advise.
The activities and opportunities for children & parents are second to none, from giving up weekends to putting on Summer fayres, Annual parent and child trips not to mention the things they get up to during a nursery day such as going on trips out in the local community and then exploring the internal environments such as Forest School and outdoor classrooms.
Stay and plays are a must - always such fun and the staff adapt it to all ages from siblings to grandparents that join in.
The food (especially the dinners) smells insane, everytime you walk through the door your mouth waters.

Thank You Footsteps!!

Overall Experience

Both of my children have attended Footsteps Lichfield Road and I have nothing but praise for the nursery. The staff are organised, efficient, offer excellent communication but above all, demonstrate fantastic care for the children that attend. My son who moved from another setting to here aged 3, made huge steps in his development when he joined. Both my son and daughter have made a genuine bond with the staff which shows the level of care they receive. They both have enjoyed their time and I am delighted we found a setting that they both clearly love attending. The nursery and facilities are excellent and very well maintained with fantastic outdoor space. The team also run a range of activities including Forest School which both of my children love. I have nothing but positive feedback and thanks for Footsteps, Lichfield Road and its brilliant team.

Overall Experience

Very happy with the quality of care my little one receives. Staff are attentive and caring but give the little ones independence. Varied activities every week for the children and lots of outdoor time. Food is great - variety and fresh produce. As parents, we feel involved by the staff and with the care that they show. Our boy is extremely happy at Lichfield Road Footsteps. Thank you.

My daughter started at Footsteps in September 2017 and she absolutely loves it there! The staff are brilliant, friendly and very approachable. They provide a range of exciting learning experiences such as Forest Schools, French and Yoga. They also try to involve parents in their child's learning journey whenever possible.

Overall Experience

Both my children have been to footsteps Lichfield Road Tamworth, this is a truly amazing nursery. It benefits from friendly and knowledgeable staff, who are always engaging with the children, identifying and addressing their individual development needs. There are great outdoor play areas for all ages and the use of a Forest school area enhance learning and development. There are always different activities and learning opportunities daily. This is a very caring environment, where both children and parents can feel safe and secure. Special mention to the chef/cook who prepares healthy and nutritious meals that are well enjoyed by both my children. Firmly recommended this nursery and staff without hesitation.

The Footsteps staff are all really friendly and kind. Footsteps has a lovely atmosphere and didn't take long for my child to adjust. The nursery has helped my child come out of his shell a lot more. They have taught him a lot of independent skills. Would highly recommend this nursery as everything is provided for you Also they have a high standard of teaching.

Review from Lara W (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Both of my children have attended Footsteps and I think it's a fantatsic nursery. My little girl has now been in the baby room for 4 months. I was a little more apprehensive about her starting as she has been exclusively breastfed and refused to take milk from a bottle but she has settled in fantastically. I feel this is all down to the fantastic team, especially her key worker. I think the keyworker idea is great as I feel there is a definite mutual bond between my little girl and hers, something which is so reassuring when leaving her there for the day.

I feel 100% trusting in the care my little girl receives at Footsteps and as a parent, think this is priceless.

Review from David H (Father of Child) published on 29 September 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have taken all three of our children to Footsteps and feel it has given them the best start in life. The staff are fantastic and take a real interest in our family as a unit, the retention is brilliant and many have stayed there over the 7 years we have been using the services. There are a number of staff who we have gone as far as to write letters of thanks to and commended their professionalism to the management team, I am pleased to say that many of these have quickly moved into leadership roles within the company.

My little girl loves coming to nursery. The staff are so friendly and I love the stay and plays, and the events they plan for parents to come along too. We attend the Christmas fete every year and it is so festive and lovely. The toys and resources are mainly wooden and look so nice and clean. The forest school and the outdoor area they have is amazing. So pleased with my little girl's progress, and I would highly recommend this nursery.

Review from Laura O (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

After enrolling my daughter at Footsteps when she was 10 months old I was slightly concerned that she was too young and I would miss the important things like her trying new foods, crawling, walking etc. She has come on in leaps and bounds in all areas. When I pick her up they tell me everything about her day, along with pictures, they also do 'star moments' which I think is great. She has built relationships with other children and also her key worker and all the other nursery staff. They make you feel very welcome and nothing is too much trouble! I can also call and check up and they are great very time. I am so glad I chose this nursery for my daughter to attend.

My 18 month old started back in October 2015 and the setting, key workers and all the other staff are amazing. Always friendly and extremely helpful. My sons key worker is so relaxed and I feel like she knows him as much as me. Activities daily are always different. The food is better than some restaurants I've eaten in, and the outdoor area id fabulous and lets toddlers experience adventure.
