Footprints Day Nursery (Macclesfield)

As first time parents who just moved to Macclesfield, with a 6 months old baby, we were worried about going back to work full-time. The team in their baby room are angels. They take care of the little ones so well. Management also keep parents updated with new events, especially when kids are sick. I will encourage parents to explore Footprints. Parents should also try and be considerate, if they have an unwell child, they shouldn't bring them to nursery to minimise exposure to other children and the carers.

Our son is 2.5 and has been attending since he was 1. He was born during the pandemic and therefore there were a lot of adjustments to be made for us all when he first started nursery, having never socialised with anyone else. The staff at Footprints couldn't have been more caring, compassionate and professional if they tried. Our son so quickly and easily settled into life at footprints and continues to thoroughly enjoy his time there. His key worker is like a part of our family - when our son talks about people he loves or who make him happy, his key worker is always one of those mentioned. We are expecting baby number 2 and nursery have been really involving our son with visiting the baby room, talking to him about having a sibling and doing activities and reading books around the topic too. He is soon due to change rooms to the next room up and the transition has been really well managed with multiple visits extending in time and building in activities (eg just a little play and then play and lunch time). Having now read previous negative reviews (all over 5 years old) regarding security, I can only say that there are multiple aspects for ensuring safety of the children (fob key, gates, passwords for adults who dont usually do pick up) and I feel incredibly confident in saying I have no concerns about my childs safety whilst at nursery. Everyone comments on how sociable and confident our son is and nursery has a lot to do with this. We couldn't recommend Footprints enough.

My little boy has been at footprints since he was 8 months old. I cant recommend them highly enough. My little boy has a rare form of development delays. They have supported us as a family and have helped him with all his extra needs including Physio & speech therapy. Amy, Tori and The staff are amazing and treat my little man like he is a celebrity everyone knows him including the cook and the cleaner and they always have time to give him a big hug when he asks them for one. He just adores them and I feel they adore him too. Even when we walk through Macc they say hi to him. In short we love footprints and would recommend it to anyone who asks us

We had a walk around visit, the place looked fantastic and staff we met and spoke to were lovely (very reassuring). We agreed for my son to start here and they offered us a place. All we had to do was email admin/accounts and get the information to pay the deposit. We have sent numerous emails along with follow up phone calls. Its been over 2 weeks now with no response. We have had no choice but to start him elsewhere. Very disappointed
