Review from Lucy J (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son absolutely loves coming to nursery and the staff are so caring, gentle and patient. I feel so at ease with the staff looking after him, they always ask how he is and give us a summary of his day. I feel that they know him inside out, his likes and dislikes how he goes to sleep etc. They are always
updating the app so I get updates while I’m at work and he has so much fun there. The meals are home made and tailored to each baby/ child. I wouldn’t choose anywhere else to look after my boy and couldn’t recommend the staff at Footsteps enough. Thank you for helping him thrive!

Amazing group of staff, so happy, friendly, amazing with the kids. My little one loves all the staff there. Makes dropping him off so much easier when it's with staff who genuinely care and build amazing relationships with the kids. The nursery is very accommodating to tweaks and changes to schedules
where possible, amazingly priced, and fill the kids day with tonnes of activities. Couldn't recommend enough!

Review from Mali T (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we were viewing nurseries for the girls, we were told by friends to look around and get 'that feeling'. We viewed 6 nurseries and got 'that feeling' with Footsteps. Girls have been with Footsteps for 8 months and they love it. The staff are fantastic and personable. Little things like letting me
know my daughter hadn't been herself one afternoon so I was able to get antibiotics before the doctors closed as it was a Friday, too. Letting me know that my other daughter refused her nap and whether I would like her to sleep later or keep her awake. One lady, who I hadn't even met but knew the girls, helped me with them from my car to the nursery door. I am so appreciative of all the staff. Thank you for taking care of them and being a part of their early years.

My son attended Footsteps for 2 years. The overall experience was brilliant. The staff were all so friendly and they got to know my son so well. He always looked forward to going and the staff always greeted him with a warm welcome.
They were always easy to contact and responses were prompt and always
very accommodating. Definitely a 5-star from me and my child.

Amazing nursery and staff! My daughter has been in since she was nine months and has loved going there and all the staff. I couldn’t fault anyone who works there, they all go above and beyond for the kids there! Just want to say a massive thank you to everyone, she’s come such a long way with her milestones!
Even took her first steps there! The app is the best thing as well, you can track your child throughout the day, what they’re eating, naps, snacks, anything you need to know is on the app! The cook there makes amazing meals for them as well and will always work around your child’s needs as my daughter is CMPA, they always made sure she never missed out on anything and catered to her needs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter first started at Footsteps just before her first birthday and continued until just before she started full-time school. All of the staff are so lovely, know all of the children inside out and care for them like their own. The facilities, range of activities and food on offer is great and
our daughter would always run in and not want to leave. The communication is great and we would receive a run down at the end of the day but also updates and photos on the app which can only be accessed by staff and parents. We cannot thank Footsteps enough for taking such good care of our little girl and preparing her so well for school.

My Little boy attended nursery since he was 9 months old! He built relationships with all the staff in each room as he transitioned through them all! The staff are welcoming, caring, loving and fun! They knew my little boy very well and always met his needs. I felt sad when he left in September to start
school! The nursery in the last year has made some huge improvements such as the nursery app and the building environment itself. I'm cannot recommend the nursery enough and when the time comes for my youngest to start nursery at the end of the year I know he will be given the best start possible in very safe hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy attended Footsteps Day Nursery from February 2020-August 2022. From day one we felt completely at ease dropping our little boy off with the baby room staff, the welcoming faces and reassuring staff made me feel comfortable and confident my little boy would be safe and cared for at a great
standard. He absolutely loved attending footsteps and making lots of relationships with friends and the staff. He enjoyed lots of activities both indoors and outdoors at Footsteps, the girls took the time to update both me and my partner on what he had done throughout the day and how he'd been. I'd like to thank you for caring for him, going above and beyond meeting his needs and giving him the best start ready for school.

My daughter has attended Footsteps Day Nursery since the age of 5 months (now 7 years old) and from day 1 she has been made to feel a part of a family. I have given the staff rating 5 stars and if I could I would rate higher. The staff at Footsteps have always gone above and beyond for the children,
helping them grow and nurturing their individual needs and at times supported me as a parent with any concerns with my daughter. My daughter has been provided with a high variety of good quality meals and snacks (to the point I had to get recipes off them at my daughter's request). The facilities are very clean and updated with a good variety of facilities available for children of all ages. I have also found that compared to other daycare providers they have kept their costs as low as they possibly can. I would highly recommend Footsteps Day Nursery to anyone looking for excellent nature and care of your little ones.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started Footsteps Day Nursery in September 2021 he was 9 months old and left when he was 2 years old. I can't thank the staff enough for the care they gave to him. He enjoyed going every week, he came on great his social skills and his speaking improved each week. The facilities at Footsteps
are amazing they cater for all ages. I felt really at ease leaving him at Footsteps. I was given regular updates throughout the day and if ever I need to ask anything or was concerned about anything someone was always willing to help. I would recommend Footsteps to anyone and me being a first time mum I was really nervous leaving him I honestly can't thank them enough.

My son has been attending Footsteps since he was 9 months old and he is currently 2.5 years old. He loves all the staff there, and the friendly welcome each morning is lovely. I get updates throughout the day through the parent app which reassures me he is having fun whilst I’m at work.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.971)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.971) out of 10 for Footsteps Day Nursery Llanbradach 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.971 for Footsteps Day Nursery Llanbradach is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.971
  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 Footsteps Day Nursery Llanbradach is based on 17 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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
