Review from Alice W (Mother of Child) published on 5 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our twins started at First Footsteps Nursery in 2023 after a close friend highly recommended it. From day one, the team has been knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely caring about our children's needs and development.
We've loved being able to follow their learning journeys and always felt well
informed, which helped us support their progress at home. The twins have enjoyed every stage, from the baby room through to pre-school, forming special bonds with the amazing staff along the way.
The varied and nutritious menus have also been a huge bonus, encouraging healthy eating habits that we've carried on at home.
We're sad to see our time at First Footsteps come to an end but couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.

My little girl has just come to the end of her preschool journey - she has been at First Footsteps since 7 months old. I know I picked the best start for her and we will miss the wonderful staff here so much. From baby unit to baby room to toddlers and lastly preschool, her time has been filled with
engaging activities, nurturing staff and wholesome food (definitely one of her highlights). She has loved every minute and has made some amazing little friends along the way. I'm continually impressed by the learning that takes place and staff have worked hard to prepare her for school (she is more than ready socially, can write her name, and knows so many phonics). Mostly it has always felt like they loved having her there and as an anxious mum, I couldn't have asked for better people to leave her with everyday. I always felt confident in the care she was given.

My little boy has been at nursery since nine months old and I couldn't imagine him anywhere else, the staff are amazing with each child and their families. They do so many different activities and have full knowledge of each child. My little boy has developed so much since being there.

First Footsteps is a great nursery. My little boy started around two and half years old, the nursery have been great with him, he has additional needs which were picked up at this nursery. I have received lots of support from the manager and his key worker is great and really understands him. I would
definitely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I am almost at the end of my wonderful journey with First Footsteps. I'll be very sad to no longer be part of this lovely nursery. My 3rd child leaves in a couple of weeks as she starts school in September. All 3 of my children have attended First Footsteps over the last 11 and a half years. I have
3 very sociable children with a thirst for learning. The staff here have encouraged them every step of the way. Each child has a key worker and they form strong bonds with the children. I can only describe it as a kind of extended family. My children were left at nursery each day with people who I wholeheartedly trusted and who I knew had the best interests of my children at heart. The skills they have learnt and the friendships they have made will go with them once they leave the nursery. I consider myself very lucky to have found such a wonderful childcare setting and would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare for their children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic staff with great knowledge of child psychology, great empathy and patience to deal with children as individual persons who are heard and encouraged to thrive enjoying learning through play. Every month there is a theme to encourage new adventures and experiences and each day is different but
with routine, making the children feel safe in new adventures. Thank you for over two years of fun whilst developing my child's personality and preparing him for school, you are all amazing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My twins have been at this nursery since they were babies, and I am amazed by what they have learned and how they have developed. The staff know, care about and treat them as individuals. They regularly come home with lovely photos, cards and pictures. They get an included sit down dinner and snack,
feedback at the end of the day, and organised trips and outings. The manager is incredibly helpful and supportive with all elements of the childcare minefield, and I can't thank and praise the manager and the brilliant staff enough. The twins are leaving this year to start primary school, (and they even get a 'graduation' photo and ceremony!). The rates are very competitive and they are as flexible as they can be to help with individual childcare needs. This nursery has been invaluable, they enjoy and look forward to going, and I am sad that it is time for them to leave.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.160)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.160) out of 10 for First Footsteps Ltd (Leyland) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 2 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 4.917 for First Footsteps Ltd (Leyland) is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.917
  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 3.243 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for First Footsteps Ltd (Leyland) is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 85 number of registered child places is 17. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.118
  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.
