Staff are friendly, nurturing, and well experienced. From apprentices right up to management each and everyone of them are happy, approachable, caring and knowledgeable. My son runs in in a morning happy to greet them as they are waiting happy to greet him.The environments are stimulating, well equipped
and exactly what you expect to see linking to the birth to 3 and areas of learning. The outside reflects the inside. My son tries a variety of foods. I love that he can accsess his own water which promotes so much Independance. Parent app is updated regularly but still when I collect I receive a good detailed handover which will consist of what he has learnt that day or a wow moment which is lovely. He often comes home with stickers and certificates promoting praise. Recently they have had ducks in the nursery. They are having farm animals come in soon- Promoting cultural capital with these experiences is brilliant. If I could write more here I would
Thankyou to all the team. A credit!!

My little boy has just transitioned from 'toddlers' to 'Pre-School' at Footprints Day Nursery & Preschool. As a mother I was so so anxious as my little boy does not like change and loves routine, I can't thank every single one of the team here for making this a smooth process.
I truly feel like my
little boy has come on leaps and bounds since starting here. He comes home so happy and chatty telling me what he's done that day and all the new things he's learnt. Everyday they offer different activities and he calls them all his 'best-friends'. The updates provided throughout the day are frequent.
I just want to thank the whole team from cleaners, chefs, bank staff, room staff / leaders and management for truly making us feel like we have a second family. Thank you for making him feel truly comfortable and happy, going out of your way to purchase things to settle him in and his interests.
When he is at nursery I feel so relaxed and content. Team footprints you are truly amazing!

Footprints Day Nursery has been the perfect nursery for our little boy! It was initially daunting to leave him after my maternity leave ended but after a couple of days he settled right in and now he absolutely loves it! The app is great, we love to see photos and receive updates of how his day has
been and the girls are just brilliant at what they do! We're so happy we chose Footprints!

My son now attends Footprints Day Nursery, as did my daughter, she absolutely loved the nursery back then and there was no question about it when it was time for my son to go nursery! The staff are fantastic and my daughter still to this day loves going to pick up her brother to say hi to everyone!
The staff are caring attentive, and go above and beyond to help! Would recommend and do recommend them to anyone wanting to find a good nursery! My child was very nervous starting but they've brought him out of his shell and he's come on so much with speech counting and much more!

When it was time for my youngest son to join nursery we visited a few local nurseries in our area. After visiting these nurseries we knew Footprints Day Nursery felt right for us. Knowing you're leaving your child in the right hands is a huge decision to make so it has to be right.
We had such a brilliant
journey with our eldest so when we had our second child we knew that he would also attend Footprints, there was no doubt about it.
We have peace of mind that our boys have always been safe, well looked after and most importantly we know they have the best time when they are there doing lots of fun activities.
The staff have always been amazing, they are polite, friendly and approachable if you ever have any concerns or queries.
As a parent I am pleased with the recent changes to the management structure. Two members of staff in particular are amazing and I couldn't
think of two better people to manage Footprints!

Thank you for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you trust us to care for both of your children. Our dedicated staff work hard to provide a safe and fun environment for all of our little ones. We are grateful for your support and we will continue to strive towards excellence.

I cannot tell you how amazing this nursery is!
Watching your child run into their room with excitement waving bye whilst being held by a member of staff with a big smile on their face makes me feel so proud and relaxed knowing my daughter loves being there!
It was definitely the best decision to
start my daughter here - she absolutely loves it!
The staff at Footprints Day Nursery especially the management are all lovely and will go above and beyond for you regarding any queries.
I also love receiving her amazing observations and pictures each day on the app or being discussed at the end of the night.

My daughter attends this nursery and I'm so happy I made the decision to send her here! After viewing a few in the area, I instantly knew this was the nursery for her and it hasn't disappointed. The staff are all so lovely and always give a good handover upon collection, I never feel rushed or as though
I can't ask questions, and more importantly my daughter has settled in well so thank you Footprints Day Nursery.

When we first visited the nursery we loved it immediately and it has not disappointed us the whole time our child has attended.
The staff are so lovely and genuinely get to know your child's personality and needs.
Our child has flourished and grown at the nursery. It's a warm and friendly place,
full of colour and life. We have been so impressed from our child being 1 year old to now in the nursery pre-school.
We would 100% recommend this nursery.

Couldn't recommend Footprints enough. We chose the nursery as on the walk round staff really interacted with the children in all the rooms and the nursery had a warm family feeling. We walked away and just knew we wanted to send our son here.
He's been at nursery for a month now. I was really nervous
about him starting as he's the only one and has not really been left but he's settling in so well.
All the staff are amazing, so friendly and welcoming. All the staff members in the baby room are fantastic with my son, handovers are brilliant and in-depth, love hearing about his day and knowing he is taken care of so well. Can't thank the girls enough. Lovely to get updates and pictures through the app too.
The manager is lovely and so helpful with any questions I've had. She's brilliant with my son too.
Looking forward to my son's footprints journey.

My 3-year-old daughter has been at Footprints now since April 2024 when she started pre-school. She is excited to get to nursery each day and rushes to get there saying she is going to be late and not to pick her up too early as she loves being there! She tells me about all the exciting activities she
does each day and about all the friends she has made. She also loves playing outside and stretching and growing and has made good bonds with the staff at Footprints. I was worried she wouldn't settle as she has always been looked after by me since being a baby but she has settled really well with the help of the staff and I wouldn't recommend this nursery to anyone.

My son recently joined Footprints after the closure of his previous nursery. After having a tour around the nursery I was very impressed and felt that this was a brilliant nursery for my son.
He has already settled in and each staff member has been absolutely brilliant with him. He's loving all the
different activities the preschool room and playground has to offer.
He goes in happily every morning ready for a new day and comes home and tells me all about how much fun he's had.
Thank you to all the team at Footprints

After three challenging weeks of adaptation at a previous nursery, where my daughter cried continuously, she was eventually turned away for "not being ready.". The very next day, we visited Footprints, and from the moment we stepped in, the staff welcomed us warmly and reassured us that she would settle
in. By the second day, when I arrived to pick her up and saw her not only tear-free but happily singing on her teacher's lap, it was my turn to cry - with joy this time. As a mother, my heart is now at peace, knowing she is truly cared for and cherished at Footprints. My daughter looks forward to going every day, and I am profoundly grateful to the entire team for their incredible support and kindness towards our family.

The staff have been amazing throughout our boy's journey making him (and us) feel welcome throughout.
Even when we had a few panics as first-time parents that meant we were ringing the team regularly they were patient and really helpful.
I won't hesitate in registering our second child at Footprints
and hope the company looks after the staff as they are all amazing
Thanks so much for your hard work!

Both my children attend Footprints Day nursery and my little girl who's nearly 4 has been going since she was 2 years old my little boy who's nearly 2 has been going since he was 1, they both absolutely love going to the nursery every day. The staff went above and beyond for the children and could not
do any more than they do now.
The nursery is always clean and well looked after and there are so many beautiful pictures and displays of what the children have made. Couldn't recommend this nursery enough, and would 100% recommend it to anyone I know.

My daughter has been attending since September and has already come on leaps and bounds. We are so happy with everything the nursery and the staff provide from the lovely food to learning experiences, to the love and care given to her. Not only from the members of staff based in the room, but all staff
gave us such a warm welcome. My daughter is always so happy to see the staff and to start her nursery day. I would highly recommend Footprints to any parents looking for a nursery for their child.

I asked our little boy what he would say about Footprints and his reply was 'I love it!' and I don't think you can get a better review than that! Footprints hold a special place in our hearts. It is such a warm and welcoming environment. Every staff member is friendly and makes a genuine effort to connect
with us. My little boy eagerly looks forward to his time there each week and always has the best days. We love hearing all about what he's been up to! Our journey at Footprints will come to an end in August 2025 when he starts school and we already feel a sense of sadness about leaving. They say it takes a village to raise children, and I'm so grateful that Footprints has been a part of ours!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.976)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.976) out of 10 for Partou Footprints Day 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 53 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 53 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 4.976 for Partou Footprints Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (618 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 633 Ratings = 4.976

  • 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 Partou Footprints Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 53 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 91 number of registered child places is 18.2, which has been reached with 53 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.
