Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we first visited the nursery we loved it immediately and it has not disappointed us the whole time our child has attended.
The staff are so lovely and genuinely get to know your child's personality and needs.
Our child has flourished and grown at the nursery. It's a warm and friendly place,
full of colour and life. We have been so impressed from our child being 1 year old to now in the nursery pre-school.
We would 100% recommend this nursery.

Couldn't recommend Footprints enough. We chose the nursery as on the walk round staff really interacted with the children in all the rooms and the nursery had a warm family feeling. We walked away and just knew we wanted to send our son here.
He's been at nursery for a month now. I was really nervous
about him starting as he's the only one and has not really been left but he's settling in so well.
All the staff are amazing, so friendly and welcoming. All the staff members in the baby room are fantastic with my son, handovers are brilliant and in-depth, love hearing about his day and knowing he is taken care of so well. Can't thank the girls enough. Lovely to get updates and pictures through the app too.
The manager is lovely and so helpful with any questions I've had. She's brilliant with my son too.
Looking forward to my son's footprints journey.

My 3-year-old daughter has been at Footprints now since April 2024 when she started pre-school. She is excited to get to nursery each day and rushes to get there saying she is going to be late and not to pick her up too early as she loves being there! She tells me about all the exciting activities she
does each day and about all the friends she has made. She also loves playing outside and stretching and growing and has made good bonds with the staff at Footprints. I was worried she wouldn't settle as she has always been looked after by me since being a baby but she has settled really well with the help of the staff and I wouldn't recommend this nursery to anyone.

My son recently joined Footprints after the closure of his previous nursery. After having a tour around the nursery I was very impressed and felt that this was a brilliant nursery for my son.
He has already settled in and each staff member has been absolutely brilliant with him. He's loving all the
different activities the preschool room and playground has to offer.
He goes in happily every morning ready for a new day and comes home and tells me all about how much fun he's had.
Thank you to all the team at Footprints

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After three challenging weeks of adaptation at a previous nursery, where my daughter cried continuously, she was eventually turned away for "not being ready.". The very next day, we visited Footprints, and from the moment we stepped in, the staff welcomed us warmly and reassured us that she would settle
in. By the second day, when I arrived to pick her up and saw her not only tear-free but happily singing on her teacher's lap, it was my turn to cry - with joy this time. As a mother, my heart is now at peace, knowing she is truly cared for and cherished at Footprints. My daughter looks forward to going every day, and I am profoundly grateful to the entire team for their incredible support and kindness towards our family.

The staff have been amazing throughout our boy's journey making him (and us) feel welcome throughout.
Even when we had a few panics as first-time parents that meant we were ringing the team regularly they were patient and really helpful.
I won't hesitate in registering our second child at Footprints
and hope the company looks after the staff as they are all amazing
Thanks so much for your hard work!

Both my children attend Footprints Day nursery and my little girl who's nearly 4 has been going since she was 2 years old my little boy who's nearly 2 has been going since he was 1, they both absolutely love going to the nursery every day. The staff went above and beyond for the children and could not
do any more than they do now.
The nursery is always clean and well looked after and there are so many beautiful pictures and displays of what the children have made. Couldn't recommend this nursery enough, and would 100% recommend it to anyone I know.

My daughter has been attending since September and has already come on leaps and bounds. We are so happy with everything the nursery and the staff provide from the lovely food to learning experiences, to the love and care given to her. Not only from the members of staff based in the room, but all staff
gave us such a warm welcome. My daughter is always so happy to see the staff and to start her nursery day. I would highly recommend Footprints to any parents looking for a nursery for their child.

I asked our little boy what he would say about Footprints and his reply was 'I love it!' and I don't think you can get a better review than that! Footprints hold a special place in our hearts. It is such a warm and welcoming environment. Every staff member is friendly and makes a genuine effort to connect
with us. My little boy eagerly looks forward to his time there each week and always has the best days. We love hearing all about what he's been up to! Our journey at Footprints will come to an end in August 2025 when he starts school and we already feel a sense of sadness about leaving. They say it takes a village to raise children, and I'm so grateful that Footprints has been a part of ours!

My son has been going to Footprints Day Nursery since he was 6 months old. He is now 16 months old and absolutely loves going to the Nursery every day. The nursery itself is very clean and decorated beautifully. The staff are amazing and my son feels very comfortable with all staff members. He has a
wide variety of food every day and oftentimes has second helpings. The app is very easy to use and there are daily updates regarding what he has eaten, slept, and activities he has done throughout the day. Overall, I highly recommend Footprints Day Nursery as my son is thriving here!

Blown away with major changes in the first week, month and second. Lots of artwork to show. Talks/demonstrates what friends and teachers are doing - new games and activities she learnt. She is much more confident and; happy. Focused on play, art and education. Clear to see she learns new things daily.
Teachers and manager are efficient and professional, but also caring and loving. They formed a personal relationship with my child. A beautiful, big, safe space with lots of rooms, soft play and a fantastic outdoor area to explore. Love the feedback on how well she is doing. Every parent wants to be proud.
She is no longer hungry and thirsty at pick-up. They are respectful of a vegan diet and never make mistakes. Nappies are always changed and she’s always well taking care of. Proper reports with inevitable little scratches and so on - instead of just ignoring it. We are also really enjoying the application and appreciate the time they put into it. Love seeing pictures!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I went to view a few local nurseries for my little boy before deciding on Footprints. Following a tour and getting to meet the staff this was one of the easiest decisions I have ever made. The welcome and warmth of this place were so evident from the moment we stepped inside. The girls have all been
fantastic with my son and he has bonded with them all in a very short time and has settled faster than I could have imagined. The staff do so much to make sure the children's needs are well looked after and they are always planning fun-themed days and plan their activities around the children's interests. The staff have been so helpful and approachable I couldn't praise them highly enough, we are greeted with big smiles every day its just such a lovely place. I get detailed updates on my son each day, which makes me feel really assured as a parent. I am so glad I chose Footprints, it is a lovely setting with the best staff. Me and my son love it, thank you all so much!

Footprints is an amazing nursery. We moved my daughter from a different nursery due to us relocating, and I was apprehensive about her settling into a new place. The staff were so welcoming, and the transition was seamless.
She absolutely loves her time at the nursery. The facilities are great, and
the food is great for variety and nutrition.
The communication between staff and parents is great, and I love seeing the updates throughout the day on the online portal.
Thank you to all the staff!

Footprints is an outstanding nursery. My son has been coming to this nursery for nearly two years, and I couldn't recommend it enough. The staff are incredibly supportive, understanding and approachable, which has made the whole experience ten times easier as an anxious mum. They've always been very
accommodating, providing you with a detailed overview of your child's day and how they're getting on in general, and you know as soon as you drop your child off that they're in safe hands. They offer a vast range of activities to keep your child occupied throughout the week, which have clearly been well thought out to aid development and key milestones. It's obvious that Footprints really cares about what they do and is continually striving to introduce new and exciting things to only add to an already exemplary nursery. I honestly couldn't praise them enough!

Highly recommend Footprints Day Nursery. The nursery has been amazing ever since my son started. I could not fault the nursery at all. The nursery takes children out of the setting frequently and brings in outside activities, such as the exercise sessions. My child looks forward to going to nursery
every day. The staff feel like friends to the family and I know they have my child’s best interests at heart. They have recently introduced an app which lets me know activities my child has done that day, what meals he’s eaten and if he’s had a sleep.

Footprints Day Nursery has been brilliant for my twin boys, it was a really big thing choosing a nursery, like any new mum will experience. Everyone would say you just get that feeling as soon as you walk in, I visited four other nurseries and never got that feeling, I thought maybe I was overprotective
but as soon as I went into Footprints, I got the feeling that this was the right nursery for my boys. Footprints really helped me settle the boys in and would update me on all progress and any issues. I feel the bond between myself and the staff is great and this makes me so much more comfortable leaving my children in their care. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.988)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.988) out of 10 for Partou Footprints Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 65 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 65 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.988 for Partou Footprints Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (768 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 777 Ratings = 4.988
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Footprints Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 65 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 91 number of registered child places is 18.2, which has been reached with 65 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
