The staff at Footsteps are always very attentive to our son's needs and report back fully to us at the end of the day. They tell us what he has enjoyed doing and raise any concerns they have with us. We have found the staff to be very helpful and supportive when our son has been poorly. They are extremely caring, and as a result, our son is very happy at the nursery. He thoroughly enjoys his time at Footsteps.

Footsteps have been fantastic, my son attends 3 days a week and he always comes home with a smile on his face. He has been there since he was really young and we can see how his speech and personality/social skills have developed. Very skilled staff who know what they are doing!

Great nursery! Both my kids are going there and every single person is friendly and caring. Great activities and management is great too! Love the outside space and forest school. My 2 daughters love to go.

My child has the most wonderful time at Footsteps. She is happy and safe and absolutely thriving. The staff are highly experienced and always put the children first. They ensure children have a variety of different experiences and my child is learning every day. From the moment I drop her off in the morning till I pick her up I have confidence with the team. They have excellent communication through the app and handover and the beginning and end of the day is always thoughtful detailed. We are extremely happy with our child being at Footsteps and would highly recommend.

Both of our sons have attended Footsteps Stratford upon Avon and we couldn't recommend it more highly. From Babies right through to Preschool, all of the rooms and staff are excellently setup in meeting the age groups needs. The nursery has an excellent outdoor space and Forest School area which my children have loved. The Children create special bonds with the staff and my eldest son still enjoys visiting nursery to go and tell everyone what he's been doing at school. There is great variety in the Children's days which keeps them entertained and wanting to keep coming back for more!

My 4 year old has been going to footsteps Stratford for a couple of years. The staff have always been fantastic with us as a family. It goes without saying that they really do cater to all the needs of the children but they are so considerate with external factors, such as when I work away for long periods of time. The extra clubs that are available are brilliant, from learning French, to football, building a perfect foundation for whatever the future brings. The managers are always happy to discuss anything you wish and will make time to chat to all for face to face queries. I have also noticed the nursery is striving to Continually Improve the setting and they welcome any suggestions from parents. All in all, the nursery is very welcoming and incredibly caring.

Footsteps is a wonderful nursery with fantastic facilities. My baby girl really enjoys going and that's all down to the staff in babies room. They take such good care of her and each one of them is just fantastic. I so look forward to receiving the daily diary to see what she's been up to!

Our experience with Footsteps has been fantastic. They provide outstanding care and our daughter has been so happy here. She loves it so much that often she likes to play "nursery" at home and recreates some of the activities they do. The staff in each room have been so kind and caring and they are all so creative, they constantly come up with all sorts of fun activities through which they encourage learning. Kids spend a lot of time outside and the access to a Forest school and allotment is invaluable. We absolutely love it and can't recommend it enough.

Pre-school is super. They have loads of activities planned. The staff are brilliant. The Pre-school has lots of space and they change themes all the time. They are super!

My daughter loves coming to Footsteps. She gets excited about who might be there and what they might be doing. Every night on the run-up to doing the Christmas show she came home enthusiastic, singing the songs they'd been practising. The nursery team are always supportive and positively engages with the children. As the parent I also find them easy to talk to about my daughter and her progress or issues that may arise. For example, when she felt unwell recently and wasn't her usual vibrant self. It's nice to know she's happy here and in safe hands.

Both of our sons have attended the nursery since 9 months old and in each room the staff have been so caring and reassuring. Knowing that the boys are looked after so well has made returning to work after maternity leave so much easier. We are always so impressed with the pieces of art or craft the boys have made, the songs they learn and sing to us at home, and all the stories they read too. Our eldest son now attends the preschool and we are so impressed by all the activities he does including Forest School, Cooking, Football and French. Above all, the boys always seem so happy at nursery and can't wait to tell us about their days. We could not be happier with our decision to send our children to Footsteps and continue to recommend it to all our friends!

Everything has been outstanding from the moment we looked round the nursery before our son was born. Every member of staff is friendly, caring and has our trust to look after our son completely. He has a varied day all the time with excellent opportunities and meals. We would highly recommend Footsteps Stratford; we looked round it because it had been so highly recommend to us (including from current parents and older parents who now have teenagers!), and we have since recommended it to others. This says a huge amount about how amazing it is!

The nursery provides lots of interactive activities for children and good care. The food menu is varied and adequate for children's age and also well distributed/divided over the day. The personnel are very nice and caring with the children. My son is very happy in there. I highly recommend the nursery to everyone. Thank you everyone for the good care and hard work you do every day to make our children happy!

My child has been at footsteps since just before his 2nd birthday he is now coming up to 4. He has got strong bonds with all the staff he sees and talks so highly about the staff. He has made some wonderful friendships. He goes in with a big smile on his face excited for the day. The activities on offer are great and he will tell me what he's been up to. He especially enjoys forest school which is a great opportunity for him to explore outside. He had transitioned well from room to room. He used to be a fussy eater but is now willing to try different foods and this is thanks to the staff who have supported him with this. I would 100% recommend Footsteps to anyone who is looking for outstanding care for their child/children.

I cannot praise Footsteps Nursery & Pre-school enough, they’re brilliant! My daughter has been here for 14 months now, and given she started during COVID I was a bit of a nervous wreck. The staff member in the baby room was amazing and helped settle my nerves and did everything she could (within Covid rules and regulations) to make sure I was comfortable leaving her which made such a difference. My daughter is now in Movers one and loves the staff in there so much. She sometimes doesn’t even wave goodbye when I drop her off! She’s too excited to go for a cuddle and play and see her friends. For anyone looking for a nursery then I highly recommend footsteps and knowing my daughter is safe and loved while I’m at work makes such a difference.

Footsteps Nursery & Pre-school (Stratford) has been amazing for all my children over the last seven years. From babies all the way to upper preschool we have had fantastic care, support and activities. The staff have played a huge part in my children’s development and our lives. My children run in each day excited to see everyone, even after a break at home last spring. We loved watching the zoom catch ups and staff videos on YouTube and still occasionally watch some, particularly the stories! Thank you for all you do. We will be very sad to say goodbye to that chapter of our family’s life when school starts in September.

I'm so incredibly happy with Footsteps Nursery & Pre-school (Stratford). My daughter has been there for over two years now and she loves it. The staff are very caring, helpful and on top of everything. I never feel that I have to worry about my daughter when I’m at work. We love the progress reports and the photos we get every trimester, it’s lovely to see what my daughter has been up to and good to see what we can be doing to help keep her in line with the Early Years Learning Framework. The children seem to get lots of time outdoors enjoying forest school or the play ground.

Our son started Footsteps preschool in September 2020, having spent 9 months at home with the lockdown, we were very worried as to how he would react, especially when this was his first real time of being in a nursery setting. We had met the staff beforehand, spent time planning for his induction, treading very carefully the night before, worrying how he would settle. When he started he took to it very well, the staff were brilliant with him, made him settle down, he had the most enjoyable time and every day since he happily wants to go, better than being home with mummy and daddy in lockdown no3. We would highly recommend it. Best thing we did for his development.

Excellent experience. Extremely welcoming nursery staff. Formed quick bonds with my 1-year-old. Detailed observations of her settle in period. Feedback is positive and she seems very happy when she goes in/comes home. Have noticed she is exploring more - I feel they encourage a great range of play/activities. I'm delighted we picked this nursery for her. Covid restrictions have been put in place really well and I don't feel they disrupt drop off or pick up.

Always welcoming staff. Good leaders, very supportive. Excellent resources for my children. My children have always been happy and I feel comfortable with how they are supported.
