My daughter goes here and loves it. Never worried about leaving her and always know she'll be in safe hands. Would (and have) definitely recommend!

Great nursery with staff that really care. A lovely homely feel, as I didn't want anywhere that felt like a school for such little ones.

Footprints is a fantastic nursery for my 2.5-year-old daughter. She has been going since she was 9 months old and I was really comfortable leaving my daughter with the fabulous staff in the baby room. Very quickly the entire staff in the nursery knew my daughter by name and she was really happy to see
them all, especially her key worker. Since then she had developed wonderfully and has moved on to the toddler room. The transition was really well managed and she took to her new key worker really well. Every time she comes home from nursery she is buzzing to tell me all the things she has done that day. In fact this week she told me she ‘Ioves nursery!’
I am looking forward to sending my 4 month old their to join her next year and can’t wait to see her thrive just as well as my first born.

My daughter is currently in Footprints pre-school having been in the baby room, toddlers and tots before that. Our first child also went through Footprints from the baby room through to pre-school. Throughout their time at Footprints both of my children have thrived in the Footprints environment and
have developed into confident, fun and enthusiastic children.
It's a big commitment as a parent to trust someone enough to look after your children for 8 hours a day 5 days a week and I just feel that we made the right decision in using Footprints. I feel that the culture there is focused on child care and development and the staff are genuine and friendly and they clearly care a lot about the children within their groups. I can't speak highly enough of the staff and their dedication - my kids have been well taken care of.

Footprints is a fantastic nursery. Both our children have been here from being 8 months old. We chose this nursery over the other local ones due to the family feel it had. Since they started, our children have received superb care. All of the staff are lovely. They are very good at taking into account
the children’s individual needs when leading activities. I genuinely believe that the staff look after the children as if they were there own. My eldest daughter has just started school and the pre-school at Footprints has certainly prepared her well for the transition. The standards at Footprints are extremely high and they hugely deserve their “outstanding” Ofsted rating.

My son started at Footprints in mid-December 17 just before his 1st Birthday. The staff and management have been amazing and helped the whole family settle into this new adventure. Although traumatic at first being left by mum and dad with strangers, the baby room team have been amazing and within the
space of a few short weeks he now enjoys his day and the tears have all gone. We can really tell he enjoys his day and he is really happy on the way home, chatting away to himself.
I couldn't recommend Footprints Macclesfield highly enough!!

We had to find a new nursery when the nursery our son was at unexpectedly had to shut down. Footprints were flexible, very welcoming, and he immediately seemed to settle in compared to some of the other nurseries we also looked around.


The nursery has been great with him, we always get a full report

on his activities during the day, and he has come on in leaps and bounds since he has been there. The recent playground refurbishment has been really exciting for him as well!

I find the regular trained staff at this nursery to be warm and welcoming.
It is not a complaint, merely an observation that at certain times during the year, bank staff are used which can be destabilising.
The top landing room does not allow for as much freedom due to size and shape.
The outdoor
space, although new and risk assessed does not appear as safe for two-year-olds as it might for those ready for school.
My child eats exceptionally well with great diversity and multi-cultural choices. Perhaps more activities that covered food and health would be preferable.

Footprints have always been brilliant for our little boy. Staff are friendly and get to know all the children whether they are in their class or not, meaning families feel incredibly welcome around the whole site.
This month they have put together a box of games for my son to bring home which are specifically
tailored to areas where he needs a little more development. I see this as going way above and beyond their role of caring for him during the day and a massive help to us as a busy family with other children.

I think the best thing Footprints offers is the staff, which in my opinion is the most important value. Our son has been attending the nursery for 12 months now, in two different rooms, Toddlers and Tots. Both team members are extra happy and professional and have shown to be very patient and sympathetic
with our son.

My daughter was 5 months when she came to Footprints, the staff were amazing at caring for her as we did at home, following our routines and helping the family manage the return to work.
She settled in so well and it's obvious she loves to be at nursery. She learn's something new all the time and
the staff are amazing with her.
I can't thank them enough so friendly and caring. Couldn't be happier.

We have been so happy with how quickly our son has settled into Footprints. The staff are all so caring and have quickly developed a relationship with him. It is lovely to see that they are genuinely excited to tell you what he's achieved that day. The range of activities that they do is great. In the
short time he's been there they've been fishing with nets for fish, finding bugs in an edible swamp, painting with cars, on trips to the library and parks and playing outside on the tractor.
We have both found the learning journal a great way to keep connected with the fun our little one is having during his time at footprints.

I can't praise Footprints enough, my son has been going to the nursery since he was 4 months old. He absolutely loves it and gets very excited when we pull up outside in the car. The staff are totally amazing, friendly, caring, fun. This is my first child and they've given me confidence by answering
any questions I have, giving me advice in all areas. They have loads of activities on every day for our children, my son comes home happy and exhausted, we couldn't ask for more.

What more could you ask for from a nursery? Footprints have dedicated and friendly staff, their approach to all situations puts you at ease knowing your child will be safe and enjoy their day. The transition from each group for my little boy has been perfect for him. Watching him grow and learn from
each group has been lovely and couldn't ask for any better.

Our little boy has been attending Footprints since October in the baby room. He loves coming to nursery, my husband and I feel happy and at ease when we drop him off. The staff are all friendly and you can tell they really care about the children. My husband and I especially love looking at my learning
book and seeing what our little boy has been doing, you can see how much fun he has. Thank you and we would definitely recommend you to friends and family.

This is a fantastic nursery with an excellent level of childcare and personal interaction. The staff are wonderful, always happy, very caring and extremely professional. A personal interest is taken in each family and you feel welcome and wanted when you enter.
Our little boy loves attending and looks
forward to his next visit. This makes it beneficial for both him and us!
Currently, he is in preschool, which is a brilliant self-contained 'classroom'. Each day is fun and different, with lots of activities inc Spanish and Yoga. Sometimes they even take trips into the local town. The staff in this area are particularly good at introducing routine, building confidence and developing the children, both educationally and socially for their school days ahead. This is still done with kindness and encouragement, so much so that our little boy adores the staff and wanted to invite them to his birthday party!
We cannot fault Footprints and would highly recommend.

Our daughter has been attending Footprints in Macclesfield for about 6 months now and she loves it. The staff in the Baby Room have been absolutely fantastic - we are kept well in informed of her progress and any concerns. It's the atmosphere of Footprints that we like the most - the place just feels
happy and friendly. We also really like the online Learning Book - a useful tool for ourselves and interested grandparents who want to see how she is getting on.
The only slight downside is there isn't as much outdoor space compared to some other places, but they do go on frequent excursions around town/parks etc. Overall we really couldn't be happier with our choice of Footprints.

My daughter has attended Footprints from being a year old and will graduate to go to school this September. During all her time here she had received excellent care and development, I would not hesitate to recommend Footprints to any parents. The pre-school class learn Spanish which I think is excellent
and my daughter loves it!
