We just want to say to all of the staff that you are all wonderful and you all do a magnificent job! You are all so good with M and have supported us through some very difficult times. We cannot thank you all enough M has come on so much since starting nursery and we knew from the very first day when we came to look around that this would be the best nursery. Words cannot express how thankful we are to you all absolutely amazing! M, Dad and I will miss you all but you will still see him next Thursday in his little uniform!

Hiya just to let you know R has been doing the signs for 'more' and 'hot' when she says those words at home, we haven't taught her them so she must have learned them at nursery which is just amazing, thank you so much - (Family message Sep 2024)
“As parents we were so nervous moving Stanley from one setting to another wondering if we had made the right decision but from the first phone call to the first day starting you made us feel at ease that our little boy would be well cared for. We cannot thank you enough for settling in Stanley, he is now a thriving little man who clearly loves being at Little Footsteps.” - (Parent at Mattishall April 2021)
The staff at Little Footsteps in Mattishall are amazing. From day one my child felt comfortable and at ease. Having the app so can see what they do during the day is terrific and being able to upload what we do at home is really good as it helps with their EYFS development. With the app you can message the staff if you need to during the day and even during the weekend a member of staff is always on hand to reply to you. The staff cater for my child’s dietary needs and any incidents or accidents they inform you accordingly. The ladies at Mattishall they actually care about your child. It’s not just a job to them they actually show empathy and understanding which is a very rare thing. The lady who runs Mattishall is Zoe and even though she isn’t based at Mattishall full time she is always available and Zoe is a terrific leader / boss. You can talk to her and she actually listens, she doesn’t just stand there nodding her head and ignoring what you say she actually listens just like the other ladies do. My child comes home with happy smiles usually covered head to foot in goodness knows what but the smile on their face is worth it as a messy child is a happy child. The drawings and things they make are always of abundance and the smiles and look what I made is so worth it. You will be hard pressed to find a nursery that helps your child for their next step to big school as much as Little Footsteps in Mattishall do. They work along the curriculum of the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Scheme) and they keep you updated with your child’s progress. If you enroll your child at Little Footsteps at Mattishall you will have a happy and well looked after child. -(Parent at Mattishall April 2021)

“I can’t truly recommend Little Footsteps Mattishall enough. The ladies who work here are amazing. My little one goes and he settled so well and this was all down to their kindness.

“This video truly does not give enough justice to all the hard work these lovely ladies at Mattishall do. I for one know that the ladies have been coming in on their own time and doing extra work around the site all ready for the next fun filled day. The ladies at Mattishall love their children they look after, that shone through immensely during lockdown by the little gift bags, the videos of songs, the adorable name cards / pictures, everything. You sign your child / children to Mattishall and they will get looked after, they will care for your children. The ladies who work at Mattishall I look at them as extended family, as close friends as they care for the children like their own. The will look after your children xxx” (Parent – Facebook – July 2020)
As an ex-nursery manager I know exactly what to look out for in a good nursery. The pastoral care at little Footsteps is next to none. We collaborated on a number of strategies to settle my daughter (16 months old) in. Both my daughter and my needs were deligently respected and cared for. My daughter is settling in wonderfully and the details on her observations and next steps in development are of a high standard. Staff are all friendly and very professional. Our key worker is exceptionally attentive and when I leave my daughter at nursery, I leave with a peace of mind. You couldn't ask for more than that! (Dec 2022 – Parent – message to management)
