About Footsteps Nursery Hawthorn (Lichfield)
Footsteps Nursery Hawthorn is an OFSTED GOOD (2024) nursery in Lichfield, located on Walsall Road in a refurbished Victorian building linked to a modern extension. The setting offers a warm, characterful environment for children from birth to 5 years, with calm, welcoming rooms that help children feel secure from their very first days. Our team focuses on consistent, attentive care so that families can feel confident their children are safe, understood and supported.
Children experience a broad range of activities shaped by the Early Years Foundation Stage, with learning that may include imaginative play, stories, early numeracy, creative experiences and outdoor investigation. Staff follow childrens interests and next steps, helping them grow in confidence, independence and curiosity through purposeful play.
Outdoor learning is a real strength of the nursery, with a large natural garden and an on-site forest school area. Planned and child-choice experiences may include den building, simple fire lighting, campfire cooking and woodwork, all introduced safely to build resilience and problem-solving skills. A long-serving staff team provides stability and continuity, supporting strong relationships with children and parents over time.

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.

Our Curriculum
At Footsteps Lichfield, we want children to thrive and leave us to start their next adventure at school with confidence and prepared for the new challenge ahead. Our ambitious curriculum is at the heart of everything we offer, from exciting, well-resourced learning environments to our experienced, dedicated team of nursery practitioners.
By sequencing learning throughout the nursery and catering for each child's individual needs, children become independent investigators, confident communicators and resilient resolvers in preparation for their journey on to school.
