Welcome to Barbies Footsteps

A happy, settled start to nursery life.

Barbies Footsteps grew out of the much-loved Barbies Nursery School family — four decades of trusted day care behind us. Our St Peters setting gives children a safe, relaxed and happy place to explore, make friends and grow in confidence.

Every child follows the Early Years Foundation Stage through play, and their progress is captured in their own online "My Baby's Days" journal — so you can share in every milestone from home.
