Review from B D (Mother of Child) published on 1 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I placed my son into footsteps in 2024 and he will start primary in September!! Every staff member has been absolutely amazing. They have supported my son in every possible way. They have also been great to me personally whenever I have been stressed or needed advice. Real great team and lovely nursery. Would recommend to everybody:)

Also whenever I drop him off I can smell the yummy food that chef Amy is cooking up! So happy to always know my son and the other children are eating healthy and delicious food.

Reply from Hannah Parker, Manager at Footsteps Daycare
Thankyou so much for your kind words. We have enjoyed being part of your Son's journey and we are looking forward to celebrating our graduation party with him before he sets off to school in September.
He has achieved so much, we will miss his great imagination, laughter, stories and hugs!

Thankyou for being a huge part of our Footsteps family.

Overall Experience

I chose to send my son to Footsteps daycare as the staff are incredible and the enrichment he gets has been amazing to see. He's been going to nursery since he was 4 months old and soon his sister will be joining him too! I recommend Footsteps to anyone who may be nervous about your child being away from you or have had bad experiences in the past. No matter the worry or problem you are facing, the staff at Footsteps will always put your mind at ease and truly have children at the centre of their ethos.

Reply from Hannah Parker, Manager at Footsteps Daycare
Thankyou so much for your kind words, we are very much looking forward for your Daughter starting with us. We are excited to do our roots of empathy so your children can spend sibling time together at nursery.
Your Son has come on so much, from babbling to making his first steps, his confidence has truly grown!

Thankyou for being a huge part of our Footsteps family.

Review from Ana C (Mother of Child) published on 29 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After a traumatic experience with a previous nursery, we immediately felt warmly welcomed at Footsteps. The staff are incredibly caring, polite, and give a true family feeling. They all know our son by name and show genuine kindness. The organisation is outstanding - we're always informed about what he eats, drinks, learns, and how he feels. The app gives us great insight into his day and allows us to share home moments that they beautifully use to extend his learning. Being able to pick him up straight from his room and see him happy, playing, and running to us with a big smile is priceless. His transition was so smooth it felt like he always belonged. He goes in every day happy and excited, and that tells us we made the right choice. We truly can't recommend Footsteps enough - thank you for such an amazing experience so far!

Review from Rizwan S (Father of Child) published on 28 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I saw massive improvement in my child’s behavior, he is more self aware, independent and learnt to socialize with his age group kids. Definitely, Footsteps had a huge role in identifying his needs and intervening accordingly and I fully recommend it for other kids.

I find the staff at Footsteps really professional and our son from a shy boy has changed into a confident one. The way they are focused on children's development is impressive and I would recommend them to anyone in looking for a nursey.

Review from Anastasija G (Mother of Child) published on 16 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
If you would like your kid to be in good hands then apply for this amazing nursery. We have been with them for 3.5 years as a full time. All teachers are so nice there, my kid absolutely loves all of them! They have an app for parents so you can see every day what your kid is doing and how he is feeling, including videos and pictures which is so good. When I am bringing my son from the kitchen it always smells so nice and my son loves the food from the nursery.

So it’s time to say goodbye for my oldest son and say hello again to my youngest son who will join them from September! We didn’t want any other nurseries so we decided to put my youngest son there even when we live in Wellingborough! Thank you to the owner of this lovely nursery that is doing everything to provide the best care for kids. I really recommend this nursery, it’s easy to apply. Thank you very much.

Review from Krisztian S (Father of Child) published on 23 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My daughter joined Footsteps Daycare aged 10 months. She has had the most incredible journey imaginable and steps on to nursery soon. The nursery is by far outstanding - keeping the core values of love and creative play.
In her 3.5 year journey, there has never been a day that she doesn't come home in a really happy way, with stories of her adventures. The staff are wonderful, informative and very in touch with the children and each of their individual needs/personalities.

I couldn't be grateful enough for the wonderful start my daughter has had in her education and the people that have assisted in creating the wonderful character that she is today.

Review from Donna P (Mother of Child) published on 22 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending Footsteps Daycare since February 2018. I have noticed a marked improvement in her development since this time. Many of my friends comment on how advanced her speech is and the fact that she is able to communicate some words in sign language, which I think is excellent.

I, as a first-time parent, am very impressed with the nursery and how they have helped my child's development. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

My daughter really enjoys nursery and she loves all the staff. They all say hello to her and make her feel welcome every day.
This is the most important thing for us and we are happy to drop her off at every day and know she is being cared for really well.

We look forward to sending our new baby there and hope she settles in just as well.
