WHY CHOOSE US?

The early years in a child’s life are so important, so the staff at Footsteps are hand picked and truly understand the special world of childhood. Some of our staff are fluent Welsh speakers. It is our aim to make everyday that your child spends with us a special day. We have a fully co-ordinated programme of activities and learning opportunities, where your child’s development is carefully monitored.  We follow the Birth to Three matters framework for children under 3, followed by the Foundation Phase principles for our pre-school and Early Years Education children.

FULLY ACCREDITED

In Caerphilly we are registered Early Years Education providers, fully registered and inspected with the Local Education Authority and Estyn. We were inspected by Estyn in October, 2012.  Please click here to read our excellent Estyn report.  The report states that we achieved a ‘GOOD’ for each of the three Key Questions, and highlights much of the good practice which is carried out daily at Footsteps.  We also intend to become registered Early Years Education providers in our Pentrebach nursery.

We are registered with CSSIW and are inspected regularly. Our inspection reports can be found here and here.

AWARD WINNING

We are award winning nurseries, winning awards from business forums, and the National Day Nurseries Association. We have also been awarded the Investors In People status, demonstrating our commitment to staff training and development.  We also belong to several organisations such as the National Day Nurseries Association, Clybiau Plant Cymru, and Wales Pre-school Playgroups Association.
