Footsteps are thrilled that our new Watermead Pre-school is now open! Based in the grounds of The Piazza, in Aylesbury, this bright welcoming space will have a strong ethos towards a caring and nurturing setting, as well as access to plenty of outside space where all children can thrive.
Throughout all Footsteps nurseries and pre-schools, a strong sense of community is a part of everyday life. From our annual summer BBQ’s to trips to the Christmas panto, parent stay and play sessions, to visiting the local care home. The Footsteps approach ensures that everyone is engaged, from start to finish, in the children’s learning and development.
Key principles include:
With 28 places this pre-school values the opportunity to really understand each and every child. Places are available for children aged 2 years + and will be open from 7.30am to 2.00pm. We also offer both 15 and 30 hours funding.

My name is Lynsey I’ve been working with children now for 28 years so I have lots of experience, I’ve also got two children of my own. In my spare time you’ll often find me enjoying walks around Watermead. I love having fun with the children and helping them grow & develop in confidence, it’s lovely to be part of their journey from settling at Pre school to be ready to start school.
