She has developed and blossomed so much under their care and is really well prepared to start school. The staff are all incredible with the children and build really strong nurturing relationships where they get to know them and their individual needs so well. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a preschool for their child Read on Google (https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURyMk9UcU13EAE!2m1!1s0x4875d9cc9bdfb1bd:0xd2447b66831b8beb) Simona Lina a year ago The best preschool ❤️ we tried another one before (Bright horizons) and we were very unhappy, our child was always sad to go there, but after we moved to Foundations she has changed just in one day. She was always happy to go there and meet her friends. All teachers are AMAZING.

Two of my children have attended. The eldest is 9 and will still talk about happy memories from preschool. My youngest is 5 and truly had the best time there. Laura and Matt are brilliant communicators and organisers and the rest of the staff are all so lovely. I really felt they cared about my children and actually really got to know them. My daughter especially left there full of confidence and ready to start school. If you are looking for a preschool where your child is valued for who they are, leaves full of confidence and most importantly has loads of fun in the process then this preschool will be perfect for you.
