Community-focused childcare for all
Our aim is to provide high quality early learning and childcare to improve outcomes for all children. We believe that all children are entitled to the very best preschool experience we can provide within a secure and caring environment. We aim to make our playgroup a warm, friendly place, creating an atmosphere of trust and security in which all children, irrespective of background, gender, race, disability or ethnicity, are treated equally.
I have been so very happy with all aspects of the playgroup. My child loves attending and every week comes home teaching us what she has learnt. Thank you all.”
When children begin pre-school, whatever their age, their experience is unique. They will have learnt a great deal, particularly from their families, and will have varied interests and skills.
Children are constantly encountering new experiences and seeking to understand them in order to extend their skills, develop their confidence and build on what they already know. |
At Foundry Lane, we appreciate that all children are individuals – and we aim to provide valuable learning experiences through play, catered to your child’s individual needs.
This enables every child to develop at their own pace and grow in self-confidence by choosing from a wide range of activities, ensuring that each child is encouraged to progress to their individual potential. |
Early years practitioners – our warm, caring staff – have a crucial role in this learning, and as a team we emphasise ongoing professional development and training.
That's how we ensure that everyone working at the preschool has a good understanding of teaching and care strategies, and a sound knowledge of child development. |
At the end of their time with us, children will be independent and able to move on happily to school. We work hard to promote good liaisons with local primaries to ensure a sensitive and smooth transition for each child.
