Footsteps Day Nurseries is a small nursery chain with a big vision. For our youngest children our emphasis is on providing a caring and nurturing environment supporting our children and their families to help them flourish. For our older children our emphasis is on learning through play in a structured but responsive environment with well planned activities supporting their learning and ensuring they are ready to take their next steps. Our vision is of an organisation that nurtures children and staff and supports families. Our aim is to create welcoming nurseries that have strong, united, inclusive teams who put children at the centre of everything they do. Staff that deliver the best possible care and education, that are ambassadors for the nursery and who enjoy excellent relationships with our families and the wider community. We will have high expectations for our children and we will deliver exceptionally high standards of care and education to help them to feel nurtured and to reach their developmental milestones. We have high expectations of all staff and we will train and support them to fulfil their potential both as individuals and as nursery officers. We will ensure that staff and managers understand what good practice looks like and deliver it at all times. Staff and managers will be provided with clear direction and the right balance of challenge, accountability and support to carry out their job role effectively and to continually develop their practice. We will listen and respond to our families, our children, our staff, regulatory bodies and the wider community making changed where necessary and continually striving for improvement.
