Forest School at Footsteps

  • Aylesbury, Chalfont St Peter, Charity, Community, Farnborough, Footsteps News, Forest School, Maple Cross, Oving, Watermead
It’s a sad truth of modern life that kids are spending less time outside than ever before. The average child spends just five hours a week playing outside, compared to a staggering 45.5 hours in front of a screen. This is having a knock-on effect on children’s learning and development. A recent survey found that only  one in three can name a single herb, and 50% struggle to name five […]

Fun and Fitness at Footsteps

  • Aylesbury, Chalfont St Peter, Charity, Community, Farnborough, Footsteps News, Maple Cross, Oving, Watermead
Physical Activity in Early Years Settings Daily activity is important for children as it supports healthy growth and development. Physical activity needs to be incorporated from very early on, so that it becomes part of children’s normal everyday routine. Trends show that if this happens, children are more likely to be physically active adults and to maintain this throughout their life. At Footsteps we ensure that physical activity is incorporated […]

"My husband and I cannot possibly thank the Footsteps team enough for the way they have looked after our daughter over the past two years. The team have shown her nothing but patience and care, always building her up and providing copious amounts of cuddles.

I’ve never known any other preschool to provide such attentive daily care, my daughter was so well looked after. They always kept a line of continuous communication with us regardless of which staff member was at the gate taking children in or out. The team were continuously developing new ways to help her feel comfortable and communicate her feelings.

They have been there for my daughter through some huge milestones and the difference they have made is immeasurable. I think the footsteps team is second to none and we will miss them dearly".

"The facilities at the nursery are fantastic and the outside space is both exceptional and unrivalled in the local area. This together with their experienced and dedicated members of staff, make it difficult to persuade my children to come home." Mrs. Cosma
