Our experience so far has been really positive. Lovely caring staff who communicate well with us to keep us informed about our child's day and progress. The nursery has a very homely feel to it with lots of extra sessions organised to include parents too. Food is always varied and our child eats well. The forest school element is a real bonus and it is really lovely that children are also taken out into the community for activities to build their confidence and experience in the outside world.

I am satisfied with this kindergarten because there are many and various interesting activities for our children and for the parents. I really like that they have a spacious garden where the children explore and learn about nature. The child loves going to kindergarten because he is warmly welcomed and feels safe. Thank you very much to the staff for the work you do to make our children happy!

The staff at Lichfield Road have been great especially when helping my little girl with her potty training journey, so far it's been amazing, she's come on leaps and bounds. Very happy with how she has settled in here since April last year.

I believe the nursery is amazing with my child however we don't have a handover when picking our child up and we also do not get updates on the app anymore which is one thing that got my attention when applying for the nursery. I never know what my child has eaten or how much or if they have had a nap. Other then that the nursery is amazing with my child and has helped them so much with her speech and gentle hands and I can't fault them with the care they provide

My child enjoys attending this nursery so no complaints from him. Dinners are great, the long standing key workers are very engaging and really care for the children and there are a lot of fun activities that my son enjoys being part of. From a parenting perspective, I'd like to see more structure in pre school as the children are getting closer to starting school. First half of 2024 there definitely felt like there was a structure in place however the last half of the year, the structure appears to have fallen down and it feels a little chaotic in pre school where there are a lot of children and a revolving door of staff members. I'd like to feel more confident that my child is being given the right tools he'll need to start school.

My daughter started here August 2024 with delayed development. The staff at the nursery have been amazing with my daughter and to see her coming out of her shell, playing, enjoying her time there and trying to talk is amazing and we owe this to the amazing staff here. We would 100% recommend to other patents
05 February 2025
Although extremely anxious about my child starting nursery, from the tour to start date the process was explained well and we experienced great customer service. Our child loves attending nursery and had made great relationships with both staff and children. Our child's language skills have grown massively since attending nursery. The communication and picture updates on are great. We are so pleased that we chose this nursery for our child.

Lovely staff, caring. Well prepared nursery. My daughter loves to go to the nursery, she's very excited to see her friends and to do lots of activities with them. She is telling me lots of stories with what she did in that day. I truly recommend the nursery.

Footsteps Lichfield Road is amazing, I can't recommend them enough. The care they give to all of the children is outstanding. They treat both of my daughters like their own. The outdoor space at the nursery is great and the food menu is brilliant. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else!

Lovely nursery. Practitioners are all amazing. So supportive with the kids and parents. Child currently in preschool. The curriculum is amazing and the kids learn so much. Child always happy when I drop him off in the morning. Really looks forward to go nursery. Could not fault Footsteps. Amazing overall. Very happy.
04 February 2025
Both of my children have attended the nursery and I cannot fault them at all. The children love coming in. The key workers are fantastic and have clearly built strong relationships with the children. The variety of activities are fantastic and the children are learning new things every week. I would recommend the nursery to all parents.

All the staff are very friendly and engage with children in such a good way! All the staff are lovely and encourage children to play and learn new things! My daughter has been coming for 2 years and has learnt so much since starting.

Footsteps Day Nursery has been absolutely amazing in supporting my child through the last 2 years and now he will be off to school in September. The staff are amazing and always put the children first and always keep you updated with many events that are taking place throughout the nursery! I can't wait to send our 8-month-old in a few months!

My little boy has been at Footsteps since he was 7 months old (he is now 2.5 years old) and my youngest is due to start in September. I adore the nursery, the staff is so lovely towards my boys, he enjoys nursery and it has aided his development so much. They have taken him out on numerous excursions as well as providing invaluable advice regarding supporting behaviours, potty training and sleep, as well as advice regarding the childcare policies and hours available for children. They as also great at providing pictures/updates which are also lovely to read when you are at work. The nursery always responds quickly through the app and have also been able to attend a paediatric first aid course and nursery social organised through the nursery. Being a teacher myself I researched nurseries thoroughly and am almost hyper-vigilant about things such as safeguarding etc. Footsteps Lichfield Road have never put a foot wrong. I will happily have both of my boys there in September.

My son is in the Rising 3s room. I could not be more impressed and happy with the care my son receives. The staff are so professional and supportive to the children and parents alike. His speech development and other skills have come on leaps and bounds and he really loves being there which makes taking him to nursery a much easier transition.

Our daughter has been at Footsteps Lichfield Road now for around 3 months and I am so impressed with the baby room. The team in the room are fantastic, hugely friendly and supportive. The staff member who is our daughter's key worker and the room senior is brilliant, we also deal a lot with another staff member, who is always so happy and upbeat. Our daughter also clearly loves them both. The best way I can describe the care they give is that I never worry or think twice about leaving my daughter with them. They care for her like she is their own, and I really feel like that is all I can ask. The food choices and feedback we get on activities are good and we feel like she has variety within her nursery days. They are supportive of her development too and are actively interested in the steps she takes outside of work. Whilst we would always like to see more pictures and observations of her, I can't think of any reason why I wouldn't highly recommend any parent send their baby here.

Our son has been attending Footsteps Lichfield Road Nursery & Pre-School since he was 12 months old and it truly feels like he's part of a little family. Every member of staff (whether they're working in his current classroom or not) always greets him warmly and knows his name. Our son chatters away to us about pre-school when he's at home and talks about the staff with the same enthusiasm and love with which he talks about the little friends he has made. He absolutely loves forest school and the responsibilities and skills they learn there and is always being kept super active with weekly Rugbytots (which he loves) and plenty of opportunities for outdoor play in the large gardens. There's been many a time when I've arrived to take him home at the end of the day and he simply doesn't want to leave because he's having too much fun! There's not a lot more that you want as a parent, to see your child happy, developing well and being genuinely cared for with true affection by those whose care you leave them in.

Our daughter joined this nursery in February 2023 after we moved into the area from another location. Her development and confidence have come on leaps and bounds since she joined Footsteps. She joined the Rising 3's room and is now in pre-school with her due to start primary school in September. Our daughter loves going to nursery and it really is a home from home for her and us! All the staff we have encountered are polite, and kind and have the children's best interests at heart. There has recently been some movement in the staff but what we like is that the staff regularly move between rooms so the children know all teachers by name and vice versa with the teachers and children. We have marked down slightly on food/nutrition as sometimes the meal offerings can be limited due to our child's allergy. Keep up the good work Footsteps Lichfield Road!

As a whole, this is a great nursery and preschool. The staff are friendly and helpful and my little one loves attending here. The only criticism is the learning record which I do not feel is updated regularly enough and in a format that can be printed in full when trying to purchase the book at the end of each year. Multiple observations are recorded in bulk periodically but this means half the information/photos are cut off the page when you order the learning journey book as it prints one entry per page. I have friends whose children are in different nurseries/preschools that get regular daily/weekly updates/photos about the child’s day/week so it’s a shame this doesn’t happen at Footsteps. That being said, my little one loves coming to Footsteps to see his friends and teachers and we do enjoy the activities that are planned for the children and for parents to attend such as Christmas shows, Mother’s Day concerts, stay and play, summer fete etc. I would therefore recommend this setting.

Our son is currently in the Rising 3s room and thoroughly enjoys it. The team in the room are so creative with activities, it’s great to see all the creations and updates of learning styles. We can’t imagine what it’s like to have to deal with a room of toddlers going through the “terrible 2s” and pushing boundaries all day but the team are always smiling at pick-up, even when we know our little boy has possibly been quite testing. We’ve really appreciated the support on naps and reducing them too. Great team in Rising 3s!
