Footsteps Wilmslow

I have a child in each of the nurseries and I feel that they are both very good. Both of my children love going to their nurseries, they both enjoy the wide range of activities that are offered to them. The children enjoy trips out into the community and to the local feeder school to visit various different environments. The nurseries are multicultural, ensuring that they introduce the children to a wide range of cultures and beliefs. All of the food that is offered to the children is real, homemade meals.
The staff are amazing. They have a very good knowledge of each child, they communicate extremely well with both the parents and children. They try and encourage all of the children to undertake activities but also allow them the freedom to make their own choices.
The nursery never feels of crowded, there are always plenty of staff to talk to and my children are more than happy to seek out the staff.

I would highly recommend these nurseries, I did look at other nurseries in the area but they seemed to be about “ticking boxes” rather than caring for children and getting them ready for their next big challenging -primary school.

I can’t praise Footsteps enough for their amazing team, fantastic new building and for their ability to have changed mine and my daughter’s experience of nursery. My daughter was at another local nursery where each drop off was as painful as the last with an inconsolable little girl, a thereafter, very guilty drive to work and a huge sense of sadness as to why she was so unsettled and unhappy.
She only started Footsteps in September last year but after a week of attending this nursery there were no tears, there were instead big smiles, new friends (who are so kind- she’s already had 4 party invites!) and she now asks to go all the time. I honestly never thought I would reach this point! The staff at Footsteps are so kind and caring and their empathy towards my daughter and I and our past experience was amazing. Footsteps have completely changed mine and my daughter’s life. We couldn’t be happier and we couldn’t be more thankful. I only wish I had found them sooner.

My daughter really enjoys her time at Footsteps. The new building is amazing and the staff in Owls room have been brilliant in helping the children settle there. I will be sad to see my daughter leave in September.

We cannot recommend footsteps enough. The building is stunning, purpose-built and so many considerations taken into account. The garden area is fantastic, with so much to do and ever-changing and developing. The care and compassion the staff show are incredible and you feel as though you are part of one big family. My children have had some health problems and again the staff have accommodated and cared for them, acting appropriately and diligently. The EYFS is followed and you are regularly updated via the app and at parent’s evenings. The App the nursery uses is fantastic letting you upload info and pictures and is a good way to communicate with the staff. My children have come on so much and constantly amaze me with what they have learnt including greetings in a variety of languages and songs/phrases in sign language. My children have absolutely loved their time there, they have made some great friends and the whole family are so sad that our Footsteps journey has come to an end.
