Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of daynurseries.co.uk, said: “We would like to congratulate Footprints Day Nursery Wallsend on being rated by parents as a top nursery in the North East! It is a huge achievement to be rated so highly by the families and carers of children that attend the setting.
Our award is valuable recognition from parents and carers that this nursery is giving their children an excellent standard of care and a nurturing environment. A good early years education can really help boost a child’s development and hopefully create in them a lifelong love of learning.
We hope these awards give parents that much needed guidance in choosing the right nursery for their child.”
Michelle Mitchell, Nursery Manager at Footprints Day Nursery Wallsend, said: “We are so proud to win this wonderful recognition award. To receive an award based on the heartfelt reviews of families means the world to us. Every kind word, every shared experience is a reflection of the love, trust, and connection we've built with the children and parents in our care.
“At our nursery, we strive to create a safe, joyful, and nurturing environment where little ones can grow, explore, and thrive—and knowing that this effort is seen and appreciated means everything. This award belongs to every child’s smile, every parent's trust, and every moment we’ve shared together.”
