About Footsteps Atherstone Nursery & Pre-School
Footsteps Atherstone Nursery & Pre-School is an OFSTED GOOD nursery in Atherstone, offering a welcoming, well-structured setting where children are supported to feel safe, confident and settled as they learn and grow. The nursery is thoughtfully organised to support children from babyhood through to pre-school, helping routines feel calm, familiar and reassuring.
Children are cared for in age-appropriate rooms, with spaces designed to reflect different stages of development. Learning follows the Early Years Foundation Stage and is shaped around children’s needs, with experiences that may include stories, creative play, early communication and gentle opportunities for independence.
The nursery environment supports a balanced rhythm to the day, with dedicated spaces that allow children to play, rest and explore comfortably. Outdoor areas form an important part of daily life, offering children regular access to fresh air, movement and exploration in a secure setting.
Strong partnerships with families sit at the heart of the nursery’s approach. Clear communication and consistent care help parents feel informed, reassured and closely involved.

Nutritional Approach
We believe food is fundamental to healthy growth, happy minds, and positive lifelong habits. In the earliest years, what children eat shapes taste preferences, supports brain development, and lays the foundations for long-term health.
All meals are freshly prepared on site each day using quality, seasonal ingredients. Our menus are developed with expert guidance, designed for inclusion, and go beyond Early Years Foundation Stage requirements. We want every child to become a confident, curious eater.

Meet Our Nursery Manager
Amy Johnston
Hello, I’m Amy, the Nursery Manager here at Atherstone. I joined Footsteps as a Deputy Manager in November 2023 and took on the role of Manager in June 2024. My journey in childcare began in 2014 as a student while I completed my Level 3 qualification. Since then, I’ve worked diligently to achieve a Foundation Degree in Early Years Education. This experience has allowed me to explore various roles within the nursery and collaborate with families, ensuring they receive the support they need. I take great pride in being a part of each child's growth and development, watching them blossom into their unique selves. I am truly passionate about working with my team to help every child reach their full potential.
