Welcome to Footsteps Farnborough

Footsteps are thrilled to be opening a brand new pre-school in 2019. After intricately planned renovations to make the existing pre-school based in the Scout Hall, on Fleet Road in Farnborough into a fresh, flexible and welcoming space,  it will become the latest addition to the Footsteps family where there is a strong ethos towards a caring and nurturing setting, where children thrive. This site will adopt a Reggio Emilia approach to learning. This inspiring child-led style is an innovative approach to early childhood education which values the child as strong, capable and resilient; rich with wonder and knowledge. Every child brings with them deep curiosity and potential and this innate curiosity drives their interest to understand their world and their place within it.   Key principles include:

• Children search out knowledge through their own investigations into what interests them
• A strong emphasis on collaboration with their peers
• Using language as play to explore ways of communication and to be listened to with respect
• Providing an environment to inspire learning and open-ended materials and tools to explore surroundings
• Activities are planned based on children’s interests and adults take the role of guides and mentors to facilitate learning experiences
• To discover how each individual child learns and not separating learning and play

With 30 places this nursery and pre-school values the opportunity to really understand each and every child. Places are available for children aged 2 to 5 years and will be open from 8.00am – 3.00pm during term time.
