From the Footsteps Pre-School
Since January 2012, when the first Footsteps Family nursery and pre-school facility in Chalfont St. Peter opened, we have offered care and instruction to neighbourhood kids from 3 months to 8 years old.
There are now 5 more Footsteps locations, including those in Leighton Buzzard, Farnborough, Maple Cross, and Watermead.
The loving, entertaining, and engaging environment that is consistent with the Footsteps concept is fostered by each team, which has been carefully chosen.
We constantly train and develop our team, making sure that our high standards are scrupulously met, according to co-founder Kelly Smith.
With hands-on activities, a free-flowing approach, and constant access to our outside environment, we follow the model of the Forest School.
At Footsteps, the kids are the ones who drive our practises and beliefs.
We are driven by a passion to design places that will spark our kids' imaginations since we are aware that kids are natural explorers and investigators.
We are happy to offer you a wide range of services at Footsteps to help both our children and their families.
