In the Foundation Unit we provide a happy, secure and stimulating environment where children can learn effectively at their own pace. We work with a curriculum that is suitable for very young children and is designed to be really flexible so that we can follow the children’s unique needs and interests.

During the day the children engage in both independent and teacher-led activities.
