We moved our daughter to Footprints Day Nursery at the end of January - I cannot speak highly enough of the staff, they have really gotten to know our daughter and we are constantly kept up to date with what she's up to. You can tell all the staff genuinely care about the children and nothing seems
too much trouble. We recently attended a stay-and-play which was lovely, lots of different activities and a great way to spend some time seeing what our daughter gets up to. I can relax now knowing that she is being cared for and that all her needs are being met. Fab nursery, just wish I had made the move sooner!

We moved our daughter to Footprints at the end of January after removing her from another setting. Due to past experiences, I was extremely nervous leaving her with new people in a different place but all of the staff have been amazing. You can tell they really care about all of the children and I can
relax knowing she is well cared for, and having lots of fun. I wish I had found Footprints sooner!

Amazing staff and everyone is so friendly, it’s a lot to leave your child in the care of others when first returning back to work, but Footprints is very thorough, get updated throughout the day with what my daughter has been up to, it’s nice to go to work knowing my daughter is in the best hands.

Amazing nursery! I couldn’t possibly think of a bad thing to say about this nursery, it is absolutely wonderful. The loveliest bunch of staff who all make you feel so welcome and are always happy to chat and provide you with an in-depth update about your child’s day. Nothing is ever too much trouble
for them. It’s like a little family here I’m so happy we chose Footprints.
My daughter is so happy here and has come on leaps and bounds since attending. She is learning so much every day in the preschool room. The staff are doing a great job at prepping the children for school. Most importantly we feel our daughter is settled, safe, happy and loved at Footprints.
The nursery is clean, well managed, food is of a very high standard and there are strict policies in place when entering the setting to ensure the children’s safety. We are so happy to have found Footprints and will be sending our second baby here in the coming months.
Thank you team Footprints for all of your hard work!

I’ve had two children at Footprints, one in the past and one is there now in Pre-school. The nursery has been taken over by Just Childcare and it has changed for the better so much! The nursery setting as a whole is airy, clean and a great learning environment. My daughter loves coming to nursery and
talks about her key worker at home. Thank you to all pre-school and beyond for helping my daughter to be the best she can be! I would 100% recommend Footprints to anybody!

My little boy loved coming here the staff were fabulous, so professional and caring. An all around lovely, welcoming nursery, always lots of outings and a range of activities. He was always happy to go there which made leaving him easier. I knew he was cared for and loved.
Would definitely recommend
to anyone with nursery-aged children.
And a wonderful holiday club which offers a range of activities and outings which my little boys enjoy, seeing the staff and old friends.

Footprints is an amazing nursery filled with spectacular staff. My children all attended the setting and they all had a fabulous start in their development. The time, effort and dedication really shines from the staff. They really have a family feel running through the entire nursery and promote children
to be kind, unique and thoroughly prepare them for their onward journey into school. Special touches like celebrating milestones and graduation ceremonies really sets Footprints apart from other local nurseries.
I honestly couldn’t recommend the nursery highly enough. My children have been welcomed, loved and nurtured throughout their time here and I can’t thank the Footprints team enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two twin daughters have been going here now for over a year.
The staff are amazing, kind, compassionate and very professional - very strict on allowing people to enter and follow the safety rules and regulations - like parents can't let other parents in - I like these small but important safety
details.
Wonderful outside/inside play areas, classrooms, excellent management, excellent team.
I love how they take care of the small details, making sure my girls feel extra loved and cared for; they adapt to the child's unique behaviours and characters so they feel understood and loved.
You can see the team there loves what they do - friendly, helpful and always kind.
The twins love the nursery so much that they cry sometimes when they go home.
Right now, they are doing potty training, and my daughter loves it; my other daughter very fussy eater, but the school are slowly helping her explore new foods, which is brilliant!
The staff and the place are great! But what matters to me the most is the kids love it!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My twin girls started at Footprints Day Nursery from last year November 2022 and they stayed on and started preschool this year in September 2023. As like many other toddlers when they first join any class, my girls were anxious and cried upon getting to nursery and preschool, but that was history.
How much do they love it now? Well, my twin A, would dress up on Sunday morning and insisted she has school on a Sunday, and my twin B would run back into the school building at picking-up time when she saw me at the gate to collect them, wanting to stay at school. That says a lot about how the teachers, and children minders really make sure the children are kept happy, well fed (this is truly a bonus), and enjoy every second of the time while they are at Footprints. Even on poorly days, my girls were closely monitored which gave me that peace of mind that they are in good hands. I'd name all the children's minders that are brilliant but the review says 1000 maximum letters only. I am one happy mama and Footprint is the way to go!

Second child attending nursery. I was a bit worried when management changed, but could not be happier. Great nursery, really good with the children and with all individual needs. The nursery really takes inclusivity to word and looks after every child.
Could not recommend enough.
My child comes
home every day really happy and feels she’s learning a lot there.

On hearing the news that Footprints had been taken over, I was unbelievably worried about the changes that were going to be made, and I can honestly say I didn’t need to worry - changes have been made but seem to be positive. I’m very happy, and my son is very happy at Footprints. I would still recommend
it to anyone that is looking for childcare!

We were worried when the nursery was taken over, but we couldn't be more wrong they have brought a new lease of life to the place and my daughter loves it. The staff are brilliant and the little things like free breakfast just take so much pressure off us in the morning. The snacks at the end of the
day are also brilliant, they have started taking the kids out to do things again - brilliant keep it up.

Simply the best nursery for miles! I chose to send my children to this nursery following several recommendations from friends, quite simply the best decision I've made. The staff are simply the best around, they not only teach your children but nurture them as if they are their own... my second child
is due to move on to school and it will be a sad day when he leaves... I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Set in an old school, there is vast space for the children to enjoy, lots of different learning spaces with the best staff! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

Both of my children have been attending Footprints for just over 18 months and it was the best decision we have made for our boys. The nursery provides so many opportunities for the children to learn and grow. Best nursery by far around Atherton. All the staff and management team are brilliant.

My daughter absolutely loves going to this nursery, always excited and happy to see her friends and the staff. Staff are always welcoming, and professional and always dealt with any queries I’ve had straight away. Always have new and fun activities going on and always make a fuss of her. Highly recommend

My Daughter loves this pre-school. The attention she is given is amazing. The activities the staff do with the children are so imaginative and different. My daughter settled in at this pre school straight away such a warm welcome feel to the nursery. Nothing is too much trouble.
Lovely friendly staff.
Keep up the good work.

My daughter has attended Footprints Day Nursery since being 9 months old. She started during the pandemic and since day one has adored her time there. She's thrived in all aspects, and the staff are friendly, professional, and most of all so caring to our daughter. She eats a good diet and really enjoys
her meals which are cooked onsite, by the lovely chef. Thanks all for taking such good care of our daughter. She has so much fun and is always coming home with new songs, games, knowledge and excellent manners. This is all down to you guys, so thank you.

From the moment I first visited Footprints, I knew it was the right place for my children. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and they always take the time to answer all of my questions and address any concerns. One of the things that stand out to me is the outdoor play area. It is
spacious and has plenty of equipment for my children to enjoy; meaning my children get plenty of fresh air and exercise while at the nursery. The staff truly care about each child and go above and beyond to ensure that their individual needs are met. I feel reassured knowing that my children are in such capable and caring hands. I am also impressed by the focus on learning and development at Footprints. The staff provide a range of activities and experiences that encourage my children to explore and learn. I love seeing the progress my children make at Footprints. I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for my children to grow and thrive.

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.
