Internet Safety

  • Aylesbury, Chalfont St Peter, Community, Farnborough, Footsteps News, Forest School, Maple Cross, Oving, Watermead
Today, children grow up learning how to use technology just like learning how to speak or walk. Touchscreen technologies have made the internet far more accessible than it used to be. At Footsteps internet safety is a hot topic, and one which we take very seriously.  It is important for children to learn to be e-safe from an early age and we ensure that we play a vital part in […]

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.

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 […]
