August 18, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has been at this nursery since October 2018 and has recently moved into the preschool room. The transition process couldn’t have gone smoother. He was made familiar of the staff through regular settle sessions, which helped to prepare him and now I can’t get him to leave! He has so much fun in there and I love that he has such great bonds with the staff in there, so I know that he feels safe. He always comes home telling me all about his day and his learning book is always up to date so I know what he’s been up to. I’ve recently upped his sessions because he loves it there so much. Thank you Footsteps Walmley for providing such a safe and secure setting for my son to grow and learn!

October 1, 2020 at 12:00 amGreat nursery with good indoor and outdoor facilities and very professional and committed staff. Our daughter has only been there for a few months but she is very happy and we are very happy the service and amenities.

December 10, 2020 at 12:00 amIt’s a fantastic nursery, my daughter loves going, she loves all the staff, the activities and the other children. They have a great outdoor space with their own forest school on site. The food is great and a good variety of healthy food. It’s very clean and tidy. The staff keep you well updated via the app, I would highly recommend this nursery.

March 4, 2021 at 12:00 amMy 2 boys started at Walmley Footsteps within February, where the staff and manager have gone above and beyond to help them settled in, feel comfortable and happy. My children come home content and excited to tell me about their day and who they’ve been looked after by. They participate in a lot of different activities including a cooking club in which they brought home a yummy cookie, it’s truly lovely to see their faces light up as we speak about what they did to create it at nursery. The nursery has fabulous indoor and outdoor facilities with a separate forest school on site which is amazing as my children just love being outdoors. The nursery have adapted the menu for my youngest child’s dietary needs without any complaints and the staff makes sure I know which alternatives they’ve had when needed which is really reassuring! We highly recommend this nursery!

April 1, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter started in the baby room at the start of January and after spending most of our time in lockdown I was really nervous about leaving her however, the girls in the room made me feel so at ease. My daughter has come upon so much and loves being at nursery, I no longer feel anxious when dropping her off as I know how quickly she settles. I always receive a full handover of her day and can tell she’s well looked after by the staff team.

April 20, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my children go to this nursery and have thrived with confidence and learning. My daughter loves preschool and constantly comes out happy and talkative about what she has done. My son is in toddlers now, he is saying words together, counting and he comes out happy. I highly recommend this nursery as the staff go above and beyond and if I make a request they will fulfill what I’ve asked. I wouldn’t put my children anywhere else.

April 20, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been at this nursery since 6 weeks old and I have always received outstanding service and support from the nursery staff. All staff are happy, professional and very helpful. The grounds are always tidy and staff have handled the Covid pandemic extremely well.

April 28, 2021 at 12:00 amLovely nursery setting and great staff. My daughter has really settled here and all the staff have been amazing at helping with any request I’ve had. As a parent your always apprehensive about where you send your child but I’m so glad I chose here.

April 29, 2021 at 12:00 amI am glad my children are attending Footsteps. The children have appropriate levels of stimulation and are blossoming. The staff are caring, approachable, attentive and experienced. It will be great once the country opens up again to enable the mini day trips.

September 21, 2021 at 12:00 amMy child has recently started at this setting and I’m so impressed with how well she has settled. This is because the staff really do care about what they do, they put the effort and time into settling my child and have made me as a father feel very comfortable! I know she’s in great hands. They have taken the time to get to know my child and I know she’s happy when goes there as she just walks right in! She has become much more confident and independent since starting and I’m so happy to see her thriving in their care.

September 21, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has recently started in the movers room. With my daughter being born just before the first pandemic, I was nervous that she would be unsettled and wouldn’t enjoy herself but I couldn’t be any more wrong. She absolutely loves her time at nursery and has formed such lovely bonds with the staff. The staff have been attentive and supportive to settling my little girl and made me feel so at ease. I love seeing what she had done on her day at nursery, by looking at their learning book app and I always get informative feedback at the end of the day. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

January 31, 2022 at 12:00 amMy 2-year-old daughter has been at Footsteps Nursery since she was 9 months old and my son (now 6) was there previously. They provide a wonderful environment for the children and do an amazing job of getting to know them individually. My daughter has had to wear glasses from a young age and they were so supportive in encouraging her to do so, even buying books about children wearing glasses to read to her whilst she was getting used to them. Would highly recommend.

February 1, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth my young kids attended Footsteps Nursery (Walmley) and really enjoy their time here. The staff are very friendly and engaging with the kids, and the facility is very clean and modern, with lots of outdoor spaces and activities. Thanks to all the wonderful staff for all the great work you do!

July 5, 2022 at 12:00 amThe nursery staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
They offer the kids a range of activities – forest school, trips, lots of outdoor play in the garden and a wide range of toys including kitchen corner, building blocks, sand play etc.
The food menu seems to be quite nutritious including a good selection of fruits and vegetables.
They provide good information to the parents about the development of the children and areas to help them work on and we appreciated it when they provided a workshop to the parents on potty training when my eldest was the appropriate age.
Pre-school was great and my eldest was more than ready for reception when the time came.

July 7, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started full-time at Footsteps Walmley shortly before his second birthday having previously been at another nursery for one day a week.
The onboarding process couldn’t have been more of a breeze. The staff at Footsteps Walmley made me feel so at ease with my son starting full-time nursery and relieved a mass amount of pressure from me having just started a new job role after time off that he would be in safe hands and having the best time at nursery!
Since then they’ve supported myself and him throughout different stages and have been nothing short of amazing!
The manager in Rising 3’s as well as the staff within her team have been great with him and he thoroughly enjoys going and is thriving every day. I’ve noticed a massive change in his speaking and general desire to learn and play more since being at Footsteps Walmley, and I can’t thank the staff enough there!
I also love the amazing outdoor space available at the nursery and know that’s a favourite too!

July 8, 2022 at 12:00 amReally good nursery with friendly staff and great activities for kids. My youngest loves forest school, playground and all the crafting. The nursery has good size parking for drop-offs and pick-ups. The app that we are getting all the notifications is good compared to some that other schools/nurseries use.

September 30, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter came to this setting after being at home with me from birth to just after her first birthday. I was really nervous about her starting nursery but from the first settling, the ladies in the baby room and others covering, they were friendly, bubbly and very interested in my daughter’s needs and wants whilst she was under their care. My daughter has now been at the setting for a week, she has enjoyed every minute, had no tears, received good handovers of what she has been doing and can tell she has enjoyed her time there.

April 18, 2023 at 12:00 amWe are thrilled with Footsteps. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. We feel so at ease when dropping our son off each day. We have seen such a difference in our son’s confidence and are so pleased with how well he is doing. The staff are informative each day and we feel we have positive relationships with staff as does our son. Thank you for all your hard work.

April 28, 2023 at 12:00 amSadly gone downhill. Poor parental communication and documentation. Fail to take an individualised approach or put the child’s needs first. When concerns raised told “staff don’t have time”. The food provided is also poor. There are many other better nurseries in the area. Serious previous issues were also raised by Ofsted.
