When Sienna Steptoe was five months old, doctors told her family she was blind, deaf and would never walk or talk.
But five years later and to the joy of her parents, the Abingdon youngster is learning to take her first steps with the help of Footsteps. Read the full article in the Oxford Times.
Minty has made it through to the next round in the bid to be one of the Olympic torch bearers for the 2011 London Olympic Games.
After being nominated we recently received notification that Minty will join 28,000 other hopefuls in the next round. Results are due in December.
After months of planning, construction and decision making, we are thrilled to finally be in our new Footsteps home. Whilst we’re sad to leave Warborough after many years we are just as excited to be taking up residence in Dorchester-On-Thames just a short drive from the former Footsteps site. Dorchester-On-Thames boasts a wonderful Abbey, post office, village shop, tea rooms and three pubs! We hope you will make the most of the facilities while you are spending time at Footsteps.
The new site has designated parking for Footsteps families and we ask that people park as instructed and are prompt in leaving after sessions to maximise space for others.
We have 5 individual gyms with a spider and mat area in each, a consultation room and office. We also have a family room, kitchen and staff room and two toilets! We look forward to welcoming you all to our new home and joining us on the next part of our Footsteps journey.
If you haven’t already booked your sessions for 2012 they are booking up fast.
Please note we have recently changed our payment procedures.
Please could we remind everyone to make any cancellations as early as possible, whilst we do operate a healthy waiting list, it is often difficult to find families who are able to take last minute
spaces.
If you find you no longer require a session please bear in mind that there are others who do.
Thank You.
Due to the demand in services the Footsteps Centre will take up residency in Dorchester-On-Thames from 1st August 2011. A short distance from our current location we are busily building, decorating and installing the new site which we hope will house more spiders, treatment rooms and allow us to see more children each year.
Invite to all Footsteps Mums, Aunties, Sisters, Grandma’s and Friends. During February we are asking Footsteps families to hold a coffee morning/nearly new sale in aid of Footsteps Foundation. What better excuse for a post Christmas catch up, chin wag, gossip & chat.
Enter our £1 Champneys Draw.
The winner will receive a Luxurious Champneys Gift Set.

Footsteps Ltd is pleased to announce the launch of the St Lawrence Centre. From the 23rd August 2010 the addition of two new therapists to the team means we will be able to see up to 40 more children a year. Sessions will continue to take place at Footsteps and the St Law- rence Hall situated a short distance from the current centre. With ad- ditional parking facilities, families will still be able to use the family room at Footsteps. Bookings for the new centre will still be made through the Footsteps office and those on the current waiting lists will be contacted in the first instance to confirm availability.
We are all extremely excited about this small but significant expansion to Footsteps and we look forward to seeing more of you.
