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.

Our staff

Claire Estcourt, Manager “Being part of the Footsteps team is a dream. After 30 years of working in early years education my passion lies with pre-school and outdoor education using natural resources to promote learning. No day is ever the same and I get to be an explorer, an inventor, a magician and story teller! It’s the best job in the world. I am looking forward to being part of the developments at Footsteps and seeing the children’s excitement when coming to preschool each day!“

Helen is our amazing Senior Practitioner at Farnborough. She has worked within childcare for many years and developed her career through extensive childcare roles, responsibilities & environments. “I’m very excited to join the footsteps family. The setting being focused on outside provision offered so many exciting opportunities to all the children as well as our natural equipment inside the setting. As a mummy of 3, I know how important it is for children to learn through their own interests & through play. I’m very excited to start my journey at footsteps.“
