Staff are exemplary role models who will help to show all children consideration, cooperation and respect towards others. We have a strong ethos in allowing and supporting all children to learn, grow and shine in a safe, friendly and happy environment. We aim to provide inclusive experiences to all children, including those with SEND, and will aim to meet those needs effectively and with close partnership working with parents and outside agencies.
Footsteps Ponteland are committed to partnership working and therefore have excellent relationships with parents, Ponteland Community Primary School and the local community. We work closely to ensure that children have rich and varied experiences.

“Staff are warm, caring and kind. They form lovely relationships with the children, who are happy,
settled and secure. Children are enthusiastic and excited about the activities on offer.” Ofsted report 2022
“Children benefit from a wide range of fun, exciting and challenging experiences at this friendly and inclusive setting. For instance, they engage in birdwatching with staff and make displays of the birds they identify. Children make potions with herbs, such as rosemary and lavender, from bushes in the enclosed garden. They gather leaves on walks to make pictures with on their return.” Ofsted report 2022
