Food for Thought

Nutrition plays a big part in growing up, and we value the need for a healthy, balanced diet. All our food is homemade to ensure it is of the highest quality and contains only goodness!

Good eating habits will be endorsed from an early age, and the children will be encouraged to participate in creating the meals they eat, if they wish. I am very lucky to have a chef as a partner who helps me provide nutritious and interesting meal ideas for the children.

On the Go

Having fun and being active are what kids do best! We will support them in being fit and healthy by providing suitable activities depending on their individual age and abilities. We will try and get outdoors at least once a day. This could be playing in our fantastic garden, going for a walk into the local community, playing at the park or visiting a local attraction.

Playing Safe

The welfare and safety of all the children in our care is paramount. To help us ensure this we have a list of comprehensive policies and procedures surrounding all aspects of the provision we provide. Every family will be asked to read and adhere to these policies upon registration to help us keep all the children safe and happy whilst in our care. A copy of these policies is available in our welcome area.

Change4Life

At Footsteps Childcare we aim to promote a healthy and active lifestyle and are part of the government initiative to help families "eat well, move more and live longer". We will support children in making healthy choices with food and promote at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day. Please visit the Change for Life website for more information at
