Welcome to Footsteps Pre-School Watermead

Footsteps are thrilled to be opening the Watermead pre-school in 2020, based in the grounds of The Piazza, the bright welcoming space will have a strong ethos towards a caring and nurturing setting, where children can thrive.

Throughout all Footsteps nurseries and pre-schools, a strong sense on community is apart of everyday life. From 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 the parents are engaged, from start to finish, in the child’s learning and development.

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 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.
