About this day nursery

Foundation Nurseries offers a nurturing and stimulating environment where children from two to five years old can flourish. The nursery champions a play-based approach to learning, believing that children thrive when they can explore and engage in a safe and joyful setting.

The curriculum, inspired by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), is tailored to each child's individual interests, fostering independence and a love for discovery. Beyond daily activities, the nursery prioritizes holistic well-being through regular exercise, nutritious meals, and the warm, friendly demeanor of its staff.

Emphasizing strong parent partnerships, Foundation Nurseries aims to build trust and collaborate with families to ensure consistent care and support for learning both within the nursery and at home. The facility is secure, featuring a welcoming reception and CCTV, and provides age-appropriate amenities, including outdoor play areas and interactive learning screens.

The nursery's commitment to its staff's professional development further ensures a high standard of childcare.

Our ethos

At Foundation Nurseries we aim to provide outstanding education and care inclusively for all children and their families. We believe in building good relationships with our parents based on trust. Our strong parent partnership therefore enables us to work together to ensure a good understanding of the child's needs, leading to appropriate care within our setting and possibilities of supporting learning at home. Happiness is at the heart of our nursery along with a healthy culture and the caring atmosphere where children feel safe, allowing them to thrive in their development and learning. Our family feel is embedded throughout the nursery, encouraging children to build strong positive relationships with both adults and their peers. Children learn to care and respect themselves as well as others, with a high standard of empathy and behaviour to help understand each other's feelings. Children develop confidence independence and a positive attitude to learning. We pride ourselves on our warm welcoming nature and team togetherness. Therefore, creating a strong unit of kind, approachable, genuine and enthusiastic staff. This foundation leads to a stimulating environment creating opportunities around the innovative and exciting curriculum promoting creativity, imagination and critical thinking to fulfil a meaningful journey that we are proud to be a part of.
