Footsteps Lichfield Road Nursery & Pre-School

Overall, we have found Footsteps to be a warm and welcoming environment, and the key workers are friendly and kind. The administrative staff have been helpful and responsive.
However, a little more information on what the children get up to would be really nice. We have also found that meeting sleep needs has been a challenge – where, at home, they might sleep for 2-2.5 hours at nursery, it’s often been half an hour, if at all. The only explanation we have ever been given for this is that the nap room can become quite noisy and disruptive, which is not conducive to good sleep. On the whole, though, we are happy.

My child had attended Footsteps since he was just 3 months old and I cannot speak highly enough about the care and support of the baby room.
Not only did they settle my little one in beautifully, they really put my mind at ease and reduced the mum guilt when I returned to work. They supported with feeding expressed breastmilk and helped with trying different bottles and other methods of feeding breastmilk when he decided to wean off daytime breastmilk.
I love all the activities the baby room provide and also the regular outdoor activities to ensure they get time exploring different environments and of course getting some fresh air.
Every member of the baby room has been fantastic and cannot thank the room leader enough for their support and care for my little one.
The food provision is also amazing. My little one was weaned onto solids during this time which helped us immensely.
Little one has now moved to Movers room where the care so far is equally as good.

We’re so grateful to Footsteps and all the staff for all they do. Our son started in the summer of 2022 and has thrived from the beginning. He loves going to nursery and has learnt so much since he began. We love seeing what he’s been doing each day and are so pleased with how well he’s doing. The Christmas package he brought home was lovely. Thank you to everyone in Babies and Movers.

Our daughter started at Footsteps this month and so far has had a great experience. I’m a really anxious mum so I was really put at ease by the ladies in the baby room who said I could check in any time I want. Its also really nice to get a little summary of their day via the app – I hope things continue like this!

My daughter has been attending Footsteps Lichfield Road Nursery & Pre-School since 18 months old. She has moved around, in 4 different rooms and currently goes to pre-school. Staff is friendly and overall our experience with them has been pretty good. The facilities, especially the gardens and forest school, help the children to explore outside and enjoy their time outdoors. They have plenty of things to do and never appear bored. Food is amazing and my daughter has always enjoyed her meals over there. In general, we are very pleased with Footsteps nursery.

My grandson has been attending this nursery for a couple of months now. Seeing him so happy and smiling when he comes out is lovely to see. The staff within the room are friendly, approachable and nothing is ever too much to ask. They offer a variety of activities including forest school; my grandson adores the outdoor time and is full of stories about his time in forest school.

We are very happy with the care the baby room has given our son since he started. He is very happy to be there and enjoys all the well planned activities the staff put on. The level of communication from the staff is excellent and they all look happy to be working there which gives me even more confidence that they are providing a wonderful environment for the children in their care. I love the regular themed activities and receiving photos of what my son has been up to.

Great. Child has developed well. Staff seem to really care about child and have a genuine bond. Information is clearly communicated. Food given is varied and nutritious. Like the stuff that comes home with her.

We are very happy with Lichfield Road Nursery, the staff are amazing and really care about the children. They are easy to talk too and our daughter loves going. She loves the food that is provided and loves all the activities they do, unfortunately with her only doing one day she does miss out on some exciting activities but on the day she is in they do do a lot with her.

The key workers are excellent. The nursery is looking tired in places. Emails sent to management with no response back which is unacceptable. The policy of requiring the child to be at home for loose nappies is ridiculous especially when we know it is teething and doctors have confirmed this. Absence cost us £400 alone this month.
