Footsteps Walmley Nursery & Pre-School

"I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! Both of my girls attend and I can’t express my gratitude for the staff. I can only imagine how hard their jobs are yet they always have big smiles on their faces and always go the extra mile to cater for my children’s individual needs. The management team and admin are so warm and welcoming. My youngest has been in the baby room now for a couple of months , the staff in there have a genuine passion for their jobs, she started just before she was 6 months old, my wife had a lot of mom guilt but they communicated and supported us with every step, from weaning to tummy time to just making sure her happiness was a priority… she goes into nursery with pure excitement to see the staff which is such a relief knowing she’s so happy and content with the people in control of her daily care when we can’t be! My eldest is in pre school and I can’t praise the staff enough, she’s encouraged to tell us about her day independently and they are so patient at handover taking the time to encourage this ! They went above and beyond to support her for the transition of having a baby sister and I honestly couldn’t thank them enough! The nursery is so clean and the food there is great, they have a wide range of extra curriculum and have superb facilities! They occasionally do ‘breakfast on the go’ which is really nice that the staff go out their way to make sure that us parents are also looking after ourselves. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough."

"My daughter has been attending the setting since she was 17months old and I can only say positive things about the setting. The staff are very knowledgeable, caring and have a passion for the job they do! I love how throughout each room she grown and is now able to tell me what she has done in the day. This really helps with developing her memory and of course her speech development, which will help her when she progresses to school. My daughter loves the food there, so much so I had to ask their cook for the recipe for the curry they have in the setting as that the only one my daughter will eat! I cannot thank the staff enough for the hard work they put in everyday and care they take in looking after my child."

"Sadly gone downhill. Poor parental communication and documentation. Fail to take an individualised approach or puts child’s needs first. When concerns raised told “staff don’t have time”. Food provided is also poor. There are many other better nurseries in the area. Serious previous issues also raised by ofsted."

"Really good and friendly staff, my son really enjoys time in the nursery, specially playground and forest school."

"Really poor care pulled my daughter out. Kids looking after kids . Already been closed down recently for safe guarding issues. Don't send your child here ."
