All the staff are very welcoming! My son absolutely loves it in pre school they all make a fuss of him when dropping him off which makes it easier when you are going to work. The facilities are amazing, he loves it in the physical room.

Overall Experience

We love footprints, my now 5 year old attended from 10 months and she absolutely loved going everyday, she loved the staff and all the activities they did, she learnt so much during her time. My youngest who has just started in the last few weeks has settled really well so quickly and loves all the activities they do in the baby room. All the staff have been brilliant over the years and I would recommend footprints to anyone.

When we first walked around footprints we knew it was the one. Leaving your child to go back to work can be very daunting but our daughter has settled amazing into the nursery.

All the staff are so friendly and there's always a range of activities going on throughout the day. We couldn't recommend the nursery more!

Great staff who genuinely care about the kids and it shows. Ive used other nursery and childcare providers before and honestly worried about my child. I'd get daily calls of head injuries and I'm happy to say that at Footprints my clumsy boy hasn't had half as many injuries. It's a fantastic place and one that I would absolutely recommend.

Footprints... What can I say, the staff, facilities, resources are outstanding. Every day my son returns home with a smile on his face and exhausted from all the fun he has had! Lots of updates on the app are received daily and seeing staff interactions and activities that are put in place are wonderful. I would overall 110% recommend this nursery for your child to attend as my sons confidence and intellectual growth is amazing.

Overall Experience

Footprints are fantastic and I cannot recommend them enough. My little girl joined when she was one and was a little apprehensive about being left at first, but the whole team made such a fuss of here and now she runs through the gate in the morning. The meals provided for her are brilliant and expose her to lots of new foods and flavours and their are lots of new and exciting activities to keep her busy and engaged each day. Thank you to all the Footprints staff for taking such great care of her!

Overall Experience
Footprints are an absolutely amazing nursery,
My son recently started here in April and since starting he has come on massively with his development. The team here are so lovely and very approachable. The communication between the staff and parents is wonderful and the app is really good to see what the children have been up to through out their day at nursery.
My son has settled really well into the nursery and enjoys his days here.

I would definitely recommend footprints nursery to anyone looking for a nursery with a calm, positive, safe and welcoming space for their little one.

Overall Experience

5 stars - A Wonderful Start for Our son

We couldn't be happier with the care and support our child has received at this nursery. From day one, the staff have been absolutely fantastic at helping him to settle in - something we were quite nervous about as parents. Their patience and kindness made such a difference, not just for him but for us too.

My son has settled so well and loves his time there, the staff give us updates with pictures about what he has been doing and the meals he has (all of which are amazing healthy freshly cooked meals)

Thank you to the whole team - I can not recommend the nursery and the team enough!

Review from Sian C (Mother of Child) published on 17 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Staff are friendly, nurturing, and well experienced. From apprentices right up to management each and everyone of them are happy, approachable, caring and knowledgeable. My son runs in in a morning happy to greet them as they are waiting happy to greet him.The environments are stimulating, well equipped and exactly what you expect to see linking to the birth to 3 and areas of learning. The outside reflects the inside. My son tries a variety of foods. I love that he can accsess his own water which promotes so much Independance. Parent app is updated regularly but still when I collect I receive a good detailed handover which will consist of what he has learnt that day or a wow moment which is lovely. He often comes home with stickers and certificates promoting praise. Recently they have had ducks in the nursery. They are having farm animals come in soon- Promoting cultural capital with these experiences is brilliant. If I could write more here I would

Thankyou to all the team. A credit!!

Review from S B (Mother of Child) published on 18 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little boy has just transitioned from 'toddlers' to 'Pre-School' at Footprints Day Nursery & Preschool. As a mother I was so so anxious as my little boy does not like change and loves routine, I can't thank every single one of the team here for making this a smooth process.
I truly feel like my little boy has come on leaps and bounds since starting here. He comes home so happy and chatty telling me what he's done that day and all the new things he's learnt. Everyday they offer different activities and he calls them all his 'best-friends'. The updates provided throughout the day are frequent.
I just want to thank the whole team from cleaners, chefs, bank staff, room staff / leaders and management for truly making us feel like we have a second family. Thank you for making him feel truly comfortable and happy, going out of your way to purchase things to settle him in and his interests.

When he is at nursery I feel so relaxed and content. Team footprints you are truly amazing!

Footprints Day Nursery has been the perfect nursery for our little boy! It was initially daunting to leave him after my maternity leave ended but after a couple of days he settled right in and now he absolutely loves it! The app is great, we love to see photos and receive updates of how his day has been and the girls are just brilliant at what they do! We're so happy we chose Footprints!

My son now attends Footprints Day Nursery, as did my daughter, she absolutely loved the nursery back then and there was no question about it when it was time for my son to go nursery! The staff are fantastic and my daughter still to this day loves going to pick up her brother to say hi to everyone! The staff are caring attentive, and go above and beyond to help! Would recommend and do recommend them to anyone wanting to find a good nursery! My child was very nervous starting but they've brought him out of his shell and he's come on so much with speech counting and much more!

Overall Experience
When it was time for my youngest son to join nursery we visited a few local nurseries in our area. After visiting these nurseries we knew Footprints Day Nursery felt right for us. Knowing you're leaving your child in the right hands is a huge decision to make so it has to be right.
We had such a brilliant journey with our eldest so when we had our second child we knew that he would also attend Footprints, there was no doubt about it.
We have peace of mind that our boys have always been safe, well looked after and most importantly we know they have the best time when they are there doing lots of fun activities.
The staff have always been amazing, they are polite, friendly and approachable if you ever have any concerns or queries.
As a parent I am pleased with the recent changes to the management structure. Two members of staff in particular are amazing and I couldn't

think of two better people to manage Footprints!
