We moved my 1 year old from a nursery setting to little feet big steps and it was the best decision we made. Since the move he has made so much progress with his speech, social skills and confidence.
Charlotte provides such a nurturing, fun, educational & homely setting. There isn't a day that the children are not doing something different. Weekly they go to either soft plays, sensory room or the farm to give them the extra experiences. Charlotte goes above and beyond for my little one. He rings the bell every morning (with a dance) and strolls straight in without hesitation.
We can't thank Little feet big steps enough. Highly recommend

Charlotte provides the perfect early learning setting. She has a calm, nurturing personality that shines through. Her setting is completely around the development of the children.
She doesn’t stop thinking or planning.
I love Nellie going to Charlotte and know shes having the best time while I'm at work.

Charlotte is so warm and friendly. She is very welcoming and puts any anxiety, from a nervous mum leaving their child, to rest. She’s professional and attentive. My little girl is 2.5 years old and loves her time at little feet big steps. My girl’s always got a smile on her face in the pictures that are taken and uploaded on the tiney app, which I find easy to use. Charlotte has lots of knowledge and understanding of young children and knows their interest and what they will enjoy doing. They go out and about to amazing places. You can really tell she is all in for the children. She’s got such a calming, friendly persona which really helped my child settle. Her garden is phenomenal for the children. There is so much for them to do, what ever the weather. Can’t rate her enough.

Highly recommend Little Feet Big Steps. Charlotte takes fantastic care of my little one and provides lots of updates. I was so nervous about leaving my child, but within the first day, I felt comfortable because I knew he was in caring hands. My little boy goes off every morning with a massive smile on his face and looks so happy in the pictures I get. The setting is very professional, yet warm and inviting with so many engaging toys, books and activities. The children are taken to many enriching settings such as soft play, farms, sensory rooms and garden centres. The main thing for me when looking for childcare, was that my child would be loved and cared for, which he absolutely is with Charlotte.
