    OFSTED

    One of our parents said: “My son has been attending Footsteps Oving since we moved to Oving almost a year and a half ago. The care, dedication and commitment is quite extraordinary. From picnics, feeding the pigs, offering weekly books to read, educating on road safety, exploring new textures from tuff trays full of goodies to creating cheese biscuits, gardening, wildlife exploring, Footsteps are always doing something special. The team are wonderful and you can see that they genuinely love their jobs, I never worry when our son is in their care.”
