The Hallgate Early Years Foundation Stage Unit is made up of children from:

• Foundation 1 (Pre-school) Aged 3- 4
• Foundation 2 (Reception) Aged 4 -5

Children in Foundation 1 and Foundation 2 learn together and share our well resourced indoor and outdoor areas. The children are supported by a team of passionate, highly skilled and experienced teachers, nursery nurses and teaching assistants. 

As a parent, you have already helped your child to make major steps in his/her learning. Our aim is to work in partnership with you to build on their strengths, interests and experiences by providing a stimulating and relevant curriculum in a happy, safe environment.

Please read our Foundation Stage handbook (available in our Policies & Documents section) for more information on session times and prices and contact the school office to apply for a place.
