We have 2 children in the nursery and both have settled really well and are very happy there. The outdoor space was the pull for us and they both spend a lot of their day playing and learning outside.

Very happy with Footsteps Fradley, our daughter loves it there! She started attending at 9 months old, she’s now 2 and her development is outstanding. The staff are great, very compassionate, happy and helpful. The facilities are also great, including a forest school, and very clean.

Lovely, friendly staff who have welcomed my child into their setting so well. It is a wonderful nursery with caring staff and lovely facilities for all children to learn and explore. The settling-in process from initial phone calls, nursery walk-arounds and finally settling-in days has been a positive process and has eased the transition.

Staff are always very welcoming and friendly whenever we are collecting/dropping off our child for the day. We have just enrolled our second child to start in April and feel with how happy our eldest has been at the nursery for, always excited to go to nursery and looks forward to what is planned each day. Good variety of food options provided each day, with a snack. It’s nice reading on the board what they have planned that day. The staff are always more than happy to assist with any queries that we have had and advise us accordingly. Cannot recommend enough!

Fantastic nursery, I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone with young children. The outdoor area is lovely my daughter loves coming to nursery. The staff are all lovely and will always go above for the parents and the children.

Footsteps Fradley is an amazing nursery which I would highly recommend to all parents. All staff members are kind, warm and welcoming and you can tell they truly care about their job and the children they are looking after. Every time my daughter attends I know she is going to have a brilliant day filled with fun activities, love and care - everything you want and need from a nursery.

My little boy has been going to Fradley Footsteps since he was 1. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. They are always happy to help with anything. My little boy has progressed so well whilst being at the nursery. He has made some wonderful friends. The facilities are fantastic, with plenty of outdoor and indoor space. The menu is always well thought out and offers a wide range of food on a rotating weekly basis, my son eats things at nursery he won’t even touch at home. We have enjoyed our experience here so much that we have already signed our youngest son to attend as well.

We have had a great experience so far. My son has been in the baby room and has developed really well. He has recently transitioned to the Movers room and has settled instantly. All the staff are great and so friendly. The facilities at the nursery are great and we absolutely love the outdoor space and the fact that they try to spend as much time as possible outside. We are also really happy with the food provided, lots of healthy varied meals.
26 March 2024
We have kept our son at this nursery even though there are other nurseries closer to where we live as he is so settled here. He always has lots to tell us when he has finished for the day and they have lots of activities, including yoga. The fact they have an emphasis on outside play is fantastic and the staff are really lovely and caring.
26 March 2024
My little one has recently joined (c. 8 weeks ago) and seems very happy already. The staff are incredible and very positive/happy and they have made settling in a breeze for us. The activities they do daily are brilliant for child development and social skills and the routine has been great for my son who probably lacked routine at home. Only bit of constructive feedback is I would like to see more vegetables introduced at mealtimes. But aside from that, we are very happy with Footsteps Fradley and feel at ease when we drop our son off in the mornings. Really lovely nursery.

Our experience with Footsteps Nursery has been fantastic. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming, providing us updates each day on what my son has been up to and how he is. My son is always happy being dropped off at nursery and we have seen him using skills and words at home that he has learnt at nursery.

My daughter has attended Fradley Footsteps since she was 12 months old. She is now almost 3 and has done nothing but thrive in the setting. The staff make such an effort to get to know all of the children personally, making bonds with them that provide us as parents with the reassurance that they are in safe hands. My daughter’s development has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Fradley Footsteps, to a level that I know she wouldn’t achieved had she not attended, and she always comes home with a massive smile on her face telling us about how amazing her day was. The manager runs the nursery perfectly, she is always so friendly and attentive and is such a credit to the setting. I cannot recommend the nursery enough and wouldn’t want my daughter to attend anywhere else.

My son has been at Fradley Footsteps since he was 9 months old and he is now 2. I have never had any issues with the nursery throughout this whole time. I have complete confidence that my son is given the same care that he would have if he was at home. He is developing so quickly and this can only come from the activities and care provided by the nursery. The food offered is good and varied. The nursery looks and feels clean and I have no concerns in this area. Childcare is costly, there is no avoiding that in any nursery, but for the quality of care received it's worth every penny. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and I feel that if I did have an issue it would be dealt with immediately and professionally. All staff are a credit to the nursery and I am lucky to have found the nursery. Thank you all at Footsteps Fradley, you do an amazing job!

Our high expectations of Footsteps Fradley have been totally exceeded. After coming from another nursery, we had an idea of what it might be like, but every element of Footsteps Fradley was better from the facilities, the team, the activities and level of care. We totally trust all the team with the care of our little girl. They know her so well and she comes home with so many stories from the day filled with so many activities. She has learnt great lessons and it’s clear from her interactions, songs and habits that they are taught valuable lessons through fun and repetition. We are so thrilled we found Footsteps and would highly recommend! Thank you so much to the team for all you do.

My son has been attending nursery for just over a year and he absolutely loves it. We’ve seen him grow in confidence and change so much. They put on plenty of different activities every week so they are doing different things and learning at the same time. The outdoor space is great and it’s great they can go outside anytime as some areas are under cover. The staff are always so cheerful and helpful with anything we have asked.
21 March 2024
Amazing staff and facilities for my child. Really pleasant and helpful if I have any questions on arrival and pick up, always tell us how his day has been and what he’s been up to. Such a lovely environment for my child to be learning and playing.

The staff at the nursery are all very approachable and great at what they do. They listen to parental concerns and take the interests of the children into account. The daily activities they plan and carry out are fun and engaging, as well as great learning opportunities for the children.

My daughter has been attending the setting since toddlers and is now in preschool (two and a half years, will be three years total) and it's been a consistently high standard. The standard of the workforce is the standout for me, with each room having excellent individuals at each level. The setting itself has such generous outdoor settings with each room having its own garden, a forest school, a barn and another field/play area. Would recommend to anyone without hesitation I love this nursery!

My son moved to the movers room in February and is absolutely loving it! He’s come on so much. He walks straight in in the morning and is so happy. The ladies in there are fab. They do so much with him and really seem to know him. The photos are lovely and handovers are great too. They understand the information us parents want to hear and it’s great!

Our child has been through every room, from 1-year-old up to school age and all rooms are very well prepared and the staff are extremely caring and attentive to the children.
