I viewed many nurseries when looking to get my 1 year old in for when I went back to work. All the ones I viewed there was always something that put me off and was beginning to lose hope until I viewed footprints day nursery.


From the initial tour around the nursery they were just amazing. The nursery

is so clean and well equipped. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. You can see they genuinely care for the children in their care and all love their jobs. Children all looked so happy and comfortable with everyone there. My main thing was knowing my child would be comforted if upset as this was not seen within other nurseries, however this one I seen that many times on my visit and it was lovely to see.


We signed her up and it was the best decision. She absolutely loves it and has formed such a lovely bond with staff in such a short time. They are amazing and I feel so confident that my child is in good hands. I couldn't ask for better. Thank you to everyone at footprints.

We couldn't be happier with Footprints Wallsend. Our daughter has been attending for almost a year now and the change in her has been amazing. The staff are incredibly warm and friendly, and it's clear they genuinely love and care for the children.
Her confidence, communication and overall development
have improved so much since starting. One of our favourite things is receiving daily updates and photos, which really helps us feel connected to her day and reassured that she's happy and thriving.
The only small downside is the limited car park, but that's a very minor issue compared to the fantastic care provided. We would highly recommend Footprints Wallsend to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive nursery.

My little girl settled in so quickly to Footprints. I was so nervous about the transition back to work and my little girl starting her nursery journey, but, the staff were amazing and put me at ease from the first visit.
The communication is fantastic, it makes my day to see how happy she is when
I am at work. The staff in Hedgehog room go above and beyond to help my little girl feel happy and secure, this is clear from how excited she is when she enters nursery!
I would highly recommend Footprints!

Lovely staff. Professional but friendly. Daughter absolutely loves going and her development has increased since starting.
Gatherings to see how your little one is doing and baseline assessment to see where your child is at.
Love the photos at the end of each day and logging of nappy changes and
the food she has had.

My daughter started this nursery in January 2025 and the staff have been absolutely amazing. I was a little nervous sending my daughter into a nursery because I didn't know how she was going to be, but they, as a team, put my mind at rest and made sure that my daughter has the very best time. The support
they give to both children and parents is amazing. My daughter is absolutely thriving and me sending her there was the best decision I've made!!

Put my little boy into this nursery for his 15 hours as soon as he hit 1 year old and he absolutely loves it. Full of smiles as soon as the door opens and can't wait to get in. Definitely the best decision I made choosing this nursery.

My daughter has been attending Footprints Day Nursery since January of 2024 and she has thrived since. I have noticed her social and vocabulary skills especially improve greatly. She loves going to nursery and has made lots of friends. The staff is so kind and friendly yet very professional. Our experience
has been nothing but positive and I am so glad that we chose Footprints.

We have both our girls in this nursery (ages 3 and 1), they both love going here. You can tell how much love and care goes into everything they do at this nursery. The staff are wonderful and always keep you updated on what activities are happening or what your child's done that day. Our girls have
learnt so much since starting and especially love the forest school walks. Our eldest talks fondly of many of the staff when she comes home and how much she loves them. I feel confident our children are safe and happy when we have them there. Would recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my son joined the nursery setting, he has loved attending and I have seen a massive development in his skills and his confidence. He always looks forward to going to nursery, we have never had a morning of him refusing to go, which speaks volumes as he has so much fun with the staff and the team
are so engaging, he truly gets excited to see his teachers and friends. It is a lovely environment and the team are so nurturing. They were a great help with advice and guidance during potty training, our little boy smashed it so quickly, and it is also thanks to the team. As a working mam, I do get guilt being away from him and missing out but they are really good in keeping us updated on the app with what he is getting up to and sending pictures which I love to see and gets me through my day at work knowing he's in good hands and doing fun educational activities. I trust the girls massively in their care and love towards my boy, and I cannot thank the team enough for helping bring up my boy.

My son has been coming here since September 2024 and he has developed so much in that time. The staff are genuine in their care for him and all the other babies. He loves his key worker and it's lovely when I am at work and get updates on the app about his day! He is fed well and is always happy to
go. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and I am pleased I made the best decision for my boy.

I have had my two boys here over the past 3 years and they have loved it. The staff are lovely, they really care for the kids. It is great to see how much my little boy loves going, makes leaving the house a lot easier. Also, the manager is so good, you can go to her with anything and she will take
the time out to have a chat. Top marks from me 10/10 ladies and gents.

Can not say a bad word about this nursery. My child has become so confident thanks to the lovely staff who have always been encouraging.
The staff are excellent and communicating any issues, good or bad. They're very easy to discuss goals for my child with.

Fabulous nursery. Felt at ease as soon as we stepped in for our welcome meeting back in October 2024. Every single member of staff I've spoken to has been so polite, professional and nothing is ever too much trouble. My little boy absolutely loves going to nursery and he is happy being handed over to
multiple members of staff. He has come on so much since starting nursery. Thank you Footprints Day Nursery!

Amazing nursery. My little girl loves it and has really come into herself since being here. I have absolutely no worries leaving her, I know she's in good hands and I love the app to see what she's getting up to throughout the day. Her little update pictures make my day!

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 57 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 4.974 for Footprints Day Nursery Wallsend is calculated as follows: ( (667 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 683 Ratings = 4.974
  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 57 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 57 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.
