My child has been attending for a short time now and he really enjoys it the baby room staff are so welcoming and have made the transition so much easier than I was expecting. All the staff are very engaging with the children and they do frequent activities with the children that help develop their speech and communication skills.

We recently moved our daughter to Footsteps Cannock Nursery & Pre-School, and the change in her development and willingness to attend has been incredible! Compared to her previous nursery, she is so much happier here, and we are beyond relieved that she absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing-always informative about her day and incredibly supportive of any requirements we have. Despite only attending for about three weeks, she was already able to participate in a trip to buy stamps for their Valentine's letters, which was such a lovely experience for her. The nursery's security system gives us great peace of mind, and the cleanliness is outstanding. I really appreciate being able to enter the classroom for drop-off while maintaining hygiene by removing our shoes. We can't thank the team and management enough for everything they do to create such a positive and nurturing environment. Well done to everyone at Footsteps - your hard work truly makes a difference!

My little one has been going since he was 13 months old. He's now 2. The Baby room was amazing at supporting us both in our new routines. A special thank you to one member of staff in particular. He has now progressed through 3 rooms in total and they have all helped him develop so much. He knows lots of songs and signs and his speech has come on loads. I love that we get pictures every day and a description of what he has been up to. They do lots of different activities to keep them entertained: painting, gardening, singing, signing and sand play etc.

Having a child with a significant medical condition, it was hard to find a setting that understood her needs but also didn't treat her like just this child with a medical condition. From the beginning, the staff were thorough in understanding my daughter's needs and symptoms and this has continued with each room she has attended. My daughter has thrived since being at Footsteps and the staff have gone above and beyond to ensure she develops and is cared for. Any concerns/questions I have are dealt with quickly and efficiently by the team. My daughter enjoys attending the setting and her daily diaries allow me to continue the learning she has done at nursery at home.

With having a son that has autism and non-verbal, it's hard to find a nursery to fill his needs and scared that people don't understand him as he can't tell you himself! They all go above and beyond to make sure he has the best start to his education. All the staff are really welcoming and understand his needs. The nursery itself has loads of thing for the children to be learning and exploring, a really safe place for children and is like home from home, my child really enjoys going to nursery and that's all that matters as I know it's the best place for him right now. They have a good, fresh menu. Healthy food from the start of the day to finish and will offer alternatives as my son struggles with foods sometimes. Overall, I'm really happy I found somewhere that accepts my son and works with myself and other professionals to give him the best start.

Lovely nursery. My child has been nurtured, and his development is fantastic! A really great system so you can see how your baby is doing every day, including what he has eaten and wet and dirty nappies. He comes back full of joy, singing and dancing and has grown attached to everyone there. The nursery has catered for my baby's dietary needs too.

As a parent of a child with additional needs, I cannot rate this nursery any higher. The love and care given to my son beginning in the baby room up until now being in preschool is second to none. The girls genuinely care for my son and nothing is ever too much. They meet all his needs to a very high standard, from ensuring his sensory needs are met to giving him a safe environment to engage in play. The staff know my son inside out and have built strong positive relationships with him. He runs into the nursery full of smiles, first of all heading down to the kitchen to see the nursery chef who provides healthy delicious meals that he loves. He then is greeted by his friendly practitioners and they are always so welcoming which is all you want when you are sending your entire world into the arms of others. The daily diaries are the most wonderful part of my day where I get to see my son through photos taken throughout the day. The manager and her staff are brilliant, I wouldn’t send my child elsewhere.

My daughter loves the nursery and has settled lovely! The girls in Lower Movers are all amazing with her, and it makes me, as a mom, feel settled when I drop her off, knowing that she is going to be looked after well! She comes home with beautiful artwork, and they always listen and take on board my wants and needs.

Footsteps has been a fantastic nursery and preschool for us - we have had both of our boys attend, one has recently left to go to reception class and is well socialised, had a head start on writing skills etc. All staff are lovely and helpful, and support the children in many different ways. Love how we get a detailed daily update and photos on the app too. Would recommend!

My daughter struggles every morning settling into nursery, but the girls within her room are so patient and supportive, and she is slowly getting better. She enjoys every minute of nursery once she has settled, and I receive great feedback at the end of each day. The management are approachable and work hard to maintain the quality of the care throughout the nursery, which shines through each staff member. Thank you.

My son joined the nursery in the lower movers class in when he was 14 months old and prior to this, he had never been left alone with anyone so you can imagine this was a huge step for us both! I can honestly say from our first visit, and the settle-in sessions we had, I was assured he would be safe and well looked after and he loves going to nursery! All the staff in lower and movers are so kind, caring, compassionate and loving towards my son and the other children, which is lovely to see! He has a good variety of activities and play to help him develop and he’s come on really well since starting. They have accommodated his allergies and the home-cooked food is healthy, varied and amazing. The manager and her deputy are very visible, involved in my son’s care and are accessible, which is a great leadership style to see! The receptionist is also very friendly and helpful with any queries. I would highly recommend this lovely nursery to anyone!

Footsteps have been amazing with our daughter. She has come on leaps and bounds since joining. Being our firstborn, her social skills with other babies and children were limited but Footsteps have really helped with this. My daughter also suffers from eczema and allergies and Footsteps have been brilliant with this!
09 November 2023
The girls always go above and beyond for my daughter who has special needs! They meet all her needs (which are very high and demanding). They not only look after my daughter but they also look after me too. I can't thank them enough for everything they do for us!
09 November 2023
The girls in the preschool room are simply excellent. They go over and above every day to provide a great environment for my son. Having previously attended a different nursery, the difference is abundantly clear and my son is thriving. This is all backed by a conscientious, skilled and professional management team.

My daughter has been attending nursery since 9 months old and is currently in rising 3s. I cannot fault the care she receives. She has grown so much since being at the nursery. Although she only attends twice a week, she always counts down the days to go back. There is always great communication from staff to parents and this has greatly improved since the parent app was introduced. As a working parent, it really allows me to feel involved in my daughter's day at nursery with updates and photos. You are all amazing and I would not hesitate to recommend Footsteps to anyone considering a nursery place.
09 November 2023
I can't imagine a better place for my child for her first steps in education and socialising with kids. Every day I am really impressed by the care and creativity. Such a lovely place, such lovely stuff! The inside is very clean, and toys are not destroyed. The smell is so lovely.

My son has recently started in the baby room and honestly, we couldn't be happier with how amazing all of the staff have been. Prior to us starting the nursery manager had so much time for us, showing us around and reassuring any worries. We didn't feel anything was too much trouble. The staff in the baby room are so attentive, warm and nurturing. As soon as you walk into the room there is happy energy, singing and lots of smiles from both staff and children. The room itself is spotless with a wide range of age-appropriate toys, books etc. The room is bright and child-centred. Children are offered a wide range of meals and nothing feels too much trouble re: dietary needs. My son's keyworker spent time getting to know him and this was evident in the detailed daily write-ups about him which are so individual to him it's so lovely and reassuring. The staff really care and that makes me feel at ease when leaving my little one. Thank you Footsteps for an amazing start for my son.

The staff at Footsteps are fantastic and go out of their way to make the children happy and parents reassured. My little boy takes a while to settle after I drop him off, and the staff always give him a cuddle and distract him, then put photos on the app so I can see him happily playing. He tells me that his teacher is kind and he loves her, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. At pick up, the staff tell you what the children have been doing in the day and sometimes come home with pictures or food the children have made. The children take part in a good variety of activities, and they get to play out in the garden. I’m really pleased with how my boy has developed since attending Footsteps; it has encouraged him to play with other children, and most importantly for us, he has lots of fun.

My son has been going to this nursery for 5 months and I cannot recommend it enough. Each member of staff are polite and friendly. My little boy settled in so well during his settling-in sessions and has such a big smile on his face when we get there. He has such a good day every day and the staff are so good with updating the app about what he’s been doing during the day. He’s come on leaps and bounds being at footsteps and I’m so happy with the choice I made for him. He goes in with a smile on his face and comes out with one.

My son has been attending the nursery since June 2022 when he was only 9 months old. As a very anxious first time mother, the staff in the baby room were so patient and kind to me. They understood it’s hard to leave your child in the care of others. They never complained when I would ring up to check on him. My son has adored the staff since he began. They have done so many activities with him which I would never think of. The menu options are incredible and they helped on our journey with baby led weaning. My son has since moved classes due to his age. He has come on in leaps and bounds since starting this nursery. All the staff are very professional, friendly, caring and clearly love what they do. They have always worked through any health/development concerns I have had. My son loves his days at nursery and adores the staff. It has been a weight off my shoulders knowing how cared for he is there whilst I work and have no desire to move nurseries until he begins reception at school.
