What parents say

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

Parents report very positively on the excellent support they receive and are very happy with their children's progress.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff work well in partnership with parents, gathering crucial information about individual needs when children start at the setting. This helps them to provide tailored care and support.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy playing with water, learning about volume and capacity. Outside, they develop physical skills with frisbees, hula hooping, and ride-on toys, and engage in problem-solving activities with pipes and pallets. However, at times, staff do not interact as effectively with those children that need more support to join in with activities outside.

My eldest daughter went to Footprints from around the age of 18 months. She was a very nervous and shy girl but Footprints brought her out of her shell and she’d run in to nursery! She’d go for days out at the local care home, to the beach and the activities are amazing. My youngest daughter started at Footprints from 10 months old and the confidence and happiness that she shows is unreal, she runs to the staff with such excitement every morning and is genuinely treated like family. I’m always kept up to date with how she’s doing during the day and what she’s eaten. I have no concerns at all and always so grateful to everyone at Footprints! I dread the day she leaves the nursery for school and it’s still 4 years away haha!

Our little one has been going to nursery here for over a year now, and gets excited every time we walk up to drop him off. He clearly has a great time and the staff is lovely. Footprints is perfect for both babies and toddlers.
