We have used Footsteps in Cannock for both our children since 2017 and cannot speak highly enough of the manager, the staff and the attention to detail and care put into the nursery and the children. It is a very happy environment with a variety of activities and varied enrichment for all the ages.
Nothing is ever too much trouble and staff are always very friendly, welcoming and approachable.

Reply from Kelly Boden, Nursery Manager at Footsteps Cannock Nursery & Pre-School

Thank you for the lovely review, it is so lovely to read how happy you are with the care your children have received. We would like to thank you for your continued support to the nursery since 2017, it really doesn't go unnoticed.

Since day one and still now, this nursery has been absolutely fantastic with my little girl. She has been such a happy bunny every time she goes and I have seen her develop so much in all different areas. The staff are brilliant and always greet you with a cheerful smile. They are so helpful and approachable
with any questions you may have that you feel instantly at ease with their level of care. The relationship they build with the children is so incredible that they've got to know my daughter's little character where they know all their needs and wants. It's also so lovely with the app that the staff are about to share what my daughter has been up to in her day with a daily log and pictures which then I can talk to her about in the day.
I have nothing but praise for the nursery and to each one of the wonderful staff. I highly recommend it to any parent who are considering a nursery for their little ones.
Thank you to Cannock Footsteps Nursery for being amazing!

Reply from Kelly Boden, Nursery Manager at Footsteps Cannock Nursery & Pre-School

My daughter has attended this nursery since last March, and it was the best decision we made. My daughter is now in rising 3s and has never been happier, and loves going to nursery twice a week. The manager and staff have been excellent with my daughter, they are always polite and helpful and keep us
updated throughout the day, my daughter always leaves happy and smiling and the staff inform me of everything that she has done at nursery that day. The facilities are always clean and tidy.

Can’t rate the nursery more highly. The staff are amazing and nothing is ever too much trouble. Recently my daughter needed open heart surgery and the staff were so supportive during her recovery. It meant a lot to know they cared. My daughter loves going to nursery and has come on so much with her
development through attending Footsteps.

Communication is shocking, couldn't even tell me the time of the home visit until I called the night before to get an answer since emails weren't responded to.
My daughter was there for one week and come back with filthy clothes even though I've provided her with spare items of clothing which they
couldn't be bothered to use and change her. She's come out with leaking nappies. Updates on the app were poor and after you complain they edit it to cover their own backs and remove pictures to yet again cover their own backs. I asked for a refund as I've paid over the required amount and I keep getting brushed off yet again.
My daughter's last day she come home with a cut on her chin yet there was no incident report? So I decided to withdraw my daughter from attending if they can't even be bothered to notice these things or inform me as a parent.
They try to silence you and shut down all concerns you have as a parent. I've worked in nurseries myself and would never treat a parent this way.

Putting my 20 month old son in Footsteps Cannock has been the best decision I have made. I cannot fault the nursery. My little boy is settling in so well. Security is fantastic, Staff are helpful, compassionate and great with the children. Communication is amazing with updates during the course of the
day. The kids are fed well balanced meals prepared by in house chef and the activities with the children are well varied. Would definitely recommend it to other parents.

I can not say enough good things about this nursery and its staff. My grandson started in the baby room and has moved up rooms with ease. The staff, the facility, and the support and encouragement they provide are fantastic. I hear people say they can't believe how much nursery costs, honestly, we are
trusting these lovely people with our treasured, most precious children and they are worth every penny. I love the updates throughout the day on the app, being able to see my grandson enjoying himself is priceless. Keep up the good work and I will recommend you to anyone that asks!

Reply from Kelly Boden, Nursery Manager at Footsteps Cannock Nursery & Pre-School

Thank you so much for your kind words, the app is proving to be a success and as you say it's reassuring for parents to be able to see what their little one is up to throughout the day. We are so glad your grandson is enjoying his time with us.

I have two children who attended Cannock's Footsteps. One in the baby room and one in preschool. My youngest daughter is so settled when I leave her, no tears or anything. I have regular updates throughout my day on her, from what she has eaten to what hours she has slept, and amazing pictures of their
super fun activities, from visiting the park in the turtle bus and playing with the parachute. I'm so happy with the nursery and cannot fault it in any way. The staff are professional, welcoming and so friendly. My big girl is in preschool and again she is so happy to go to nursery that she even asks me if it's nursery days occasionally. She loves science club and didi dance! I'm so happy with the nursery and would recommend it to anybody. From baby room up until preschool! My girls love it!

My little girl loves her two days a week at nursery. The staff are so friendly and attentive. The app is brilliant! The outside space is very big and a lovely clean nursery. The food always smells delicious when I walk in. She loves when Pyjama drama comes in! That's her favourite! Such a good idea
to get them in from the nursery.

My daughter started Footsteps in August 2022. I was so anxious about her starting nursery but all the staff helped reassure me and were absolutely amazing with my daughter. She settled so well and loves going there. She loves the staff and always puts her arms out when dropped off for a cuddle. The
food they provide and the variety of activities are amazing. In each session, she is learning something new. Since joining she has come on so well and every day she is developing,

My daughter has recently graduated from Footsteps Cannock Pre-School, she has been in the setting from age one. I have always been very happy with the setting from day one, the staff have always been very friendly and approachable. The policies and procedures in place are very thorough at Footsteps
which has always given me reassurance, that no request is too much hassle. My daughter has thrived at Footsteps, every day is structured and packed full of fun activities from messy play with shaving foam to trips out on the Turtle Bus to sessions at their forest school. The variety of food that the chef prepares on site is amazing, When it was time for my second daughter to start Nursery, there was no question in my mind about where to send her. Thank you Footsteps keep up the amazing work helping little ones grow!

Wow! What an amazing nursery! The management team is unreal will go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect, and the employees are just brilliant and hard working! I was so worried about leaving my son when coming off maternity leave and they have made it so easy, they look after my son
as if he is their own child. I get updates throughout the day of everything my son has been doing by written information followed by beautiful photos of my son playing. Food is amazing all freshly homemade and different each day.
The nursery manager is brilliant and helped me so much with leaving my son at the nursery, I was told to ring up and check on him as many times as I wanted. The whole team are amazing and gives my son a lot of attention and always welcomes him in. A Brilliant nursery would never go anywhere else. I trust the Footsteps Cannock Nursery team with all my heart. My son has only done a few sessions and he already picked up crawling and saying, mama!

Both my son and daughter have attended Footsteps Nursery and Pre School Cannock and we have been part of the Footsteps family since 2017. I can’t fault the team there for the care they provide, the facilities they have and the professionalism of the staff. Everyone is friendly, helpful and they go above
and beyond for the children and families. Both my children have loved their time at the nursery. My son is now at school in year 1, but even when he comes on pick ups to get my daughter, everyone is pleased to see him. The manager has an excellent rapport with everyone and is always so helpful. There have been staff changes over the years and we have seen staff come and go but it has never affected the care they give the children. Supporting their open day last week, it was nice to re-visit the younger age rooms and see those staff too and all remember and talk about my children. I will be sad to end our time with Footsteps as they have been so good. I really can’t rate them highly enough.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Footsteps Cannock Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.950 for Footsteps Cannock Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (285 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.95

  • b) 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 Cannock Nursery & Pre-School is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 117 number of registered child places is 23.4, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2019

Hello, my name is Toni, I’m the Deputy Manager here at Cannock.


I joined Footsteps in 2019 as a Senior Room Leader in preschool and then went on to be promoted to Deputy Manager in February 2022. I qualified in 2010 as a level 3 practitioner and went on to gain experience in both schools and private settings.


Our nursery builds an environment inspired by the children’s interests, making secure bonds and attachments with children. Our fantastic team ensure every child has the best experiences and enjoys their time spent at Footsteps.


The early years are what I love most, watching children learn and grow from babies through to preschool and knowing you have been a part of their learning journey is amazing!
