My daughter has been with footprints for a few months now. The nursery and staff have been Amazing and accommodating to her and her medical needs. She has come along so much since starting footprints nursery and gets excited when me or her dad say about going to nursery. She loves the staff and they
are always so happy to see her and encourage her to be herself. Couldn't think of a better nursery for her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I absolutely love Footprints! All my children have attended for the last 10 years! The staff are truly wonderful, always have time to talk through things that concern me or give positive feedback on my child's day. The office staff are so lovely and always have a minute to go through sessions, pricing,
accommodate where needed for last minute personal emergencies. Nothing ever feels to much to handle. Recommend them to everyone that is having a baby or has a baby as a care facility.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely amazing staff, everyone is so involved in the little ones care. It feels like one big family, my youngest has improved with his speech and overall confidence so much at the nursery, makes an amazing difference when the staff is really involved into your little ones development and they make
100% efforts to provide the best care. Everyone is lovely and super helpful I couldn't recommend enough.

My son has just started at footprints and the transition has been amazing. Offered us 3 sessions for him to settle in, an hour each but said that if needed we could have more. All the staff have been so welcoming and supportive!

I would like to share my wonderful experience with this nursery and its amazing staff.


From the very first day, I felt confident leaving my daughter in such a warm, safe, and caring environment. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and professional. They treat every child with love and respect,

making each child feel special and valued.


I have seen great progress in my daughter's confidence, communication, and social skills since she started attending. The activities provided are creative, educational, and fun, helping children learn while enjoying their time.


Communication with parents is excellent. The staff always keep me informed about my daughter's day, her development, and any important updates. This gives me peace of mind and shows how much they truly care.


I am very grateful for all the hard work and dedication of the team. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive place for their child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My granddaughter is so happy in this setting.
Staff are exceptional and my granddaughters relationship with them all is fantastic.
The indoor and outdoor space is very well presented and provides lots of stimulation and learning for the children.
Special mention to kitchen staff who also provide
super meals for the children and to office staff who always say hi and help with everything you ask of them.
I highly recommend this nursery to all parents and carers!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.379)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.379) out of 10 for Footprints Learning for Life Ltd 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 13 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 4.994 for Footprints Learning for Life Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.994
  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 4.385 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Footprints Learning for Life Ltd is based on 13 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.825
    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 116 number of registered child places is 23.2. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.2 = 0.56
  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.
