Our Team

Hello, my name is Gemma, and I joined Footsteps in November 2014 as the Nursery Manager.

We are very fortunate at our nursery as we share our surroundings with a beautifully picturesque landscape and views of the Fazeley canal, and receive regular visits from the local wildlife.

I am Level 3 qualified in childcare, and being a mother of three, I relate to and understand our families’ requirements at nursery, always remembering the little extras that go a long way.

My passion is childcare and working alongside my team and continuing to develop our nursery in new and exciting ways.

Our fantastic nursery and team build on the real-life environment we promote with the children, showing the true meaning of awe and wonder in their play, and supporting the children to discover new skills each day in a safe, secure, and encouraging environment.
