Services
Early Years Education
Our structured learning programme follows the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, combining play with educational elements. Qualified staff deliver age-appropriate activities that develop literacy, numeracy, and creative skills. The curriculum prepares children for primary school through hands-on experiences and collaborative learning.
Social Development
We teach essential social skills through group activities that promote sharing, cooperation, and emotional awareness. Children learn respectful communication and routine adherence in a supportive environment. Our approach builds confidence and peer relationships through guided interaction and positive reinforcement.
School Readiness
Specialised preparation includes familiarisation visits to local primary schools and pre-literacy/pre-maths activities. We develop self-care abilities and classroom etiquette while maintaining close links with receiving schools. This ensures smooth academic and social transitions for all children.
Outdoor Play
Secure play areas with safety surfacing support physical growth and motor skills. Structured outdoor activities encourage exploration, balance, and coordination. The space includes age-appropriate equipment for active play, complemented by access to a large church hall during inclement weather.
Parental Partnership
We maintain open communication with families through regular updates and progress tracking. Parent workshops and consultation sessions support home learning continuity. This collaborative approach ensures consistent development strategies across both environments, enhancing each child's educational journey.

My little boy George loves it here! When he wakes up in the morning he starts asking me when its school time and doesn't stop till he's here! Hes made such lovely friends and the support he's received from everyone here has been outstanding, and every teacher here completely contributes to George's growth. The Learning Journey that's documented for… George is amazing and it's so brilliant to see how much hes developed and how much he enjoys being at school and the fact that each child has a dedicated keyworker gives him that chance to bond one on one and develop an emotional attachment.

Can't recommend Foundry Road enough. All the staff are caring and attentive and know all the children inside out. My son started just after his 2nd birthday and has come on leaps and bounds since he started in his social skills, language and behaviour. He loves coming to preschool and talks about his teachers and friends all the time.
