About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 9 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Going back to work after having children can be a really difficult decision, but knowing they were happy, settled and so well cared for gave us the reassurance and peace of mind we needed. Being able to leave them each day knowing they were in safe, loving hands meant the world to us.
We're so grateful to the whole team for loving and caring for our children as if they were their own. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better nursery.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It has been a privilege to care for and support both of your children, and we're delighted to have been part of your family's journey. Your trust means the world to us, and we wish you all the very best for the future.

We couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. Our son has been attending since he was one, and he has had the most wonderful time. The staff have always been so caring, kind and supportive, helping him to learn, grow and develop in a happy and nurturing environment.
He has made so many lovely memories and has always been excited to go in. We have felt completely confident leaving him in their care, knowing he is safe, happy and well looked after.
We are so grateful to the whole team for giving him such a fantastic start and helping him become the confident and happy little boy he is today. We truly couldn't have chosen a better nursery for him.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased to hear your son has had such a happy and positive experience with us. It has been a privilege to be part of his early years journey, and we wish him every success and happiness in the future.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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!
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.

Footsteps nursery is a very good nursery which I will recommend to friends and family. They offer very good service by looking after children well and caring for them in a safe and clean environment. The cleanliness of the nursery is top-notch. The staff receive the children with a big smile every day and they treat the children well with respect making them feel welcome and relaxed. Overall my experience with the nursery has been an excellent one.
Staff are more than supportive and really care about my child. She learns so much and has been lovingly nurtured to reach her full potential. Couldn't recommend enough.

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.

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...
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.

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.
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...
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.
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...

We look forward to sending our new baby there and hope she settles in just as well.
Footsteps Daycare is a very welcoming and fun place to be, there are lots of learning resources, staff are always polite. Management are very organised and welcoming. My child always loved coming to nursery and was always happy to come in.
