Can't Fault this nursery one bit, never felt so comfortable leaving my child somewhere when having to return back to work after a long 17 months off. The App is amazing! updates daily! Not sure how the girls find the time to
do it all but couldn't thank them enough!

We honestly couldn't be happier with Footprints Nursery. Communication is absolutely brilliant - the app makes it so easy to stay in touch with staff and to keep up to date with his learning, development, meals and personal care throughout the day, which gives us so much reassurance as parents.
The
staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our son is always so happy to arrive and be greeted by his room team, which really shows the strong bonds they've built with him. Knowing he feels safe, secure and cared for means everything to us.
The facilities are fantastic, with such a lovely range of engaging activities that clearly support the children's learning while still being fun and exciting. It's clear how much thought and care goes into everything they do.
We feel very lucky to have found such a nurturing, supportive and professional nursery - we couldn't recommend it highly enough.

My son has attended footprints for 3 years, since he was 10months old. They have always provided excellent care and my sons loves attending and I always excited to tell his teachers what we have doing at home. He is also always excited to share with myself and his dad all the fun things he's done whilst
at nursery!

My daughter has been at footprints wallsend nursery since she was 10 months old, she is now 2 years old almost 3 and the staff here at footprints have been amazing with her. They are all polite and understanding and very helpful with what ever comes along.
The nursery itself has the best equipment
for learning and growing with a nice play area also outside.
This is by far the best nursery and I feel safe and reassurred leaving my daughter there whilst I work. 10/10 for every aspect.

Footprints has been a wonderful experience for my now 3yo. He has going since he was but 9 months old and its the highlight of his week. The staff are attentive to the needs of the children and demonstrate endless patience. They have put in place individual plans to support development when needed and
provide regular updates. The facilities are as good as the staff, with a large outdoor space to go along with a range of indoor activities. Food wise my son eats like a King and has helped expand his palette.

All staff are so caring and thoughtful beyond their role, they all have such beautiful relationships with my daughter and the other children. Any concerns they help with instantly and my daughter's development has been encouraged and supported evidently and she has came on so well. They have lovely
outside resources and try and push for outside play as long as it's weather permitting, take the children on lovely trips and have great activities. They are fantastic regarding any safeguarding and ensure their safety is at forefront. I have recommended this nursery several times and will continue to do so as my daughter is super happy to go into nursery everyday and I have no worries as I know she is safe and cared for above and beyond

Amazing care from the very start, always putting children's needs first, encouraging independent behaviour enhancing skills.
Staff are amazing, always very informative on handovers, the app always being updated during the day!
Overall I wouldn't have my child go anywhere else, I even secured a place
for my unborn child to guarantee a nursery place in the future.

Can't fault any of the girls at footprints. As an anxious mother returning to work after maternity they go above and beyond to make sure my little girl is having the best experience and keep my mind at ease and have helped creating the most smoothest transition. They seem to genuinely care about all
of the kids and make such a fuss of them all which is exactly what you want. One month in and my daughter has advanced so much since attending.

The team at Footprints are amazing. Sending your child to nursery for the first time is daunting and the team couldn't have been more caring and accommodating. My son loves his time with the team, you can tell they really care for him and he has fun when he's there. They regularly share updates with
parents, their flexibility with changing routines and replying to parents is impressive. It makes me happy to see him excited when he recognises those who work with him when I drop him off. I know he is in good hands and that's the most reassuring thing. They really have exceeded all of my expectations.

The staff are lovely and you can clearly see how much they care about the children's wellbeing. I couldn't fault anything at all. Although my child hasn't been attending for long, I felt comfortable from day one knowing she was in the best care.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 9 months old. All the staff are always friendly and helpful.
Helena loves her teachers and is always happy and smiling when I drop her off. She created lovely bonds with her teachers. I feel confident Helena is well taken care of in there.

My daughter absolutely loves her nursery. The staff are so warm and welcoming, and you can really see how much they care about the kids. She's always having fun, coming home chatting about her friends, and genuinely looks forward to going in each day, which says everything. It's such a lovely feeling
knowing she's somewhere that makes her happy, confident, and excited to learn and play. Couldn't ask for more.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for 4 months now. After months of research to find the best nursery for our little one, I am so happy we made the decision to choose Footprints. Staff are so caring, we receive photos everyday of her loving her time there, and the bond she has with staff is
so clear on drop-off and pick-up. She loves her meals, they have so much outdoor space, their days are packed full of activities, play & adventures and her development has come on so much since joining footprints. I was so nervous about leaving her in someone else's hands when returning to work but I know she is safe, looked after and happy everyday and I am so grateful to the staff at footprints for making her time there so positive. The nursery is so clean, and I think the value for money is exceptional. I would recommend this nursery to anyone. The reviews, online recommendations and awards made us choose footprints- and now we know why! An amazing place full of fantastic staff.

My daughter started nursery here at 18 months and it was her first experience of ever spending time away from me. The staff have consistently gone above and beyond in her care and make us feel reassured she is well looked after. Her development, particularly speech has come on so much in the months
she has been going there. All staff are friendly and seem to genuinely care about what they do and the children they look after. I have also been really impressed by the extra activities the children enagage in, lots of trips to the park, the library and even once to The National Centre for Children's Books.
i are completely happy with our experience with Footprints so far and look forward to the rest of the time my daughter spends there. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone looking for childcare for their little one.

Our little boy started nursery at 9 months old and is now nearly a year. In this past term he has come on leaps and bounds with bith social & motor skills. He is so happy to see staff in the morning - they've done a terrific job creating a fun, safe & welcoming environment. We really appreciate the
way they communicate with us as parents through photos and instant messaging (via the app) but also in person at pick up and drop off. Staff are knowledgeable, approachable and kind. We've been very grateful for their professionalism and care of our wee bairn!

Brilliant staff and amazing facility. My child has developed so well while being at foot print, her speech and mannerism has really come on in the last few months. Staff are approachable and friendly, coffee days and events to include the parents/family member are lovely. It's great to see how they
get on inside the classroom.

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.
