Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Footprints Nursery. Our little girl absolutely loves attending and is always so excited to go in each day, which says everything about how comfortable and happy she feels there. The staff are incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely family-friendly-they
make not just the children, but us as parents feel valued and supported too.
It's clear that they truly care about every child's wellbeing and development. The attention and kindness they show gives us complete peace of mind. We're also really impressed with how well they keep us updated on our daughter's progress. From regular updates to thoughtful feedback, we always feel informed and involved in her learning journey.
We're so grateful to have found such a nurturing and supportive environment-Footprints Nursery has been amazing for our family.
Reply from Michelle Mitchell, Manager at Footprints Day Nursery WallsendThank you for such lovely words, it's a pleasure to be part of your little ones early journey.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I honestly couldn't have chosen a better nursery for my children. From the very first day, we were made to feel so welcome and reassured, which meant everything to me. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely caring-they treat every child as if they were their own.
It's so heartwarming
to see how happy and settled my children are every day that they are there. They've grown so much in confidence, learned new skills, and built such lovely friendships. The nursery creates such a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can truly thrive.
I'm so grateful for all the love, support, and dedication the team puts in every single day. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing my children are in such good hands. Thank you for everything you do-you really are amazing.

All of the staff at Footprints Wallsend go above and beyond to ensure that my child is happy throughout the Nursery day. My child comes out of Nursery everyday with a huge smile and loves telling us all about their day and focus activities. He also enjoys outdoor learning time and has the opportunity
to go on lots of trips during the year. He particularly loves going to Seven Stories, local walks around Wallsend park and the summer beach trip - thank you to the staff for making these happen!

The nursery is just overall brilliant! The staff are all so warm and you feel that they really care. They take time to get to know your child and can easily tell if something is not quite right with them. I feel so comfortable leaving them both there as I know they are going to be cared for so well.
I'm going to be so sad when they leave!

My little one started nursery in January 2026 and, even though he's only 13mo, it's clear how much he enjoys it. He beams with joy at drop-off, which shows how wonderful the staff are at making him feel safe and welcome. The team keep me and my husband well informed throughout the day via the app which
we both have access to. I also love the observations that come through and the photos are just proof of how much he is thriving at Footprints.

Where can I start on our experience with this nursery has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the staff have been warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and development.


The environment is welcoming, safe, and full of engaging activities that clearly

support both learning and creativity. It's been wonderful to see how much our son has grown in confidence, social skills, and curiosity since attending.


What really stands out is the level of care and communication. The team consistently keeps us informed about his progress, daily activities, and milestones, which gives us great peace of mind. It's clear that every child is treated as an individual, with their unique needs and personalities understood and nurtured.


We're incredibly grateful to have found such a supportive and positive setting for our son. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and enriching environment for their child.

Always so caring! Little one loves to just run in, so happy! 5 star. Becky & Elisha are amazing in my child's classroom. Sometimes my little girl doesn't always eat meals but she is a picky eater but they always provide snacks throughout if she hasn't liked the main meals that day.

We're so happy with the care our child receives at Footprints Nursery.The staff are kind, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do. Our child has grown in confidence and skills, and it's lovely to see how much she enjoys her time there.
The environment is clean, welcoming, with lots of engaging
activities. The regular updates give us great peace of mind. Our child loves attending Footprints, often asking to go in on her days off. As parents we couldn't ask for more and would highly recommend this nursery to other families.

My little girl started at the beginning January and it been the best thing for her! So she started around her first birthday and the sheer excitement when I drop her off just tells me how much she loves the nursery. I'm confident that she receives the best care while she's there and they genuinely care
and love their jobs. I love the daily updates and the activities, session ideas they have for the little ones.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.965)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.965) out of 10 for Footprints Day Nursery Wallsend 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 80 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 80 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 4.965 for Footprints Day Nursery Wallsend is calculated as follows: ( (927 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 958 Ratings = 4.965
  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 Footprints Day Nursery Wallsend is based on 80 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 104 number of registered child places is 20.8, which has been reached with 80 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.
