Foundry Lane Preschool

Just a gentle reminder that tomorrow (27 March 2026) marks the last day of our Spring term 🌸

It’s been a busy and positive term across the setting - thank you for your ongoing support.

We hope you all have a restful break and look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday 13th April.

❤️ Thank you to all our wonderful preschool families for the thoughtful gifts and lovely cards we have received. Your kindness and generosity are truly appreciated by the whole team.

At this time of year, many of our families will be celebrating Christmas, while others may not – we send our very best wishes to everyone, whatever this season means to you.

We hope the coming days bring rest, happiness and special moments together, and we look forward to welcoming you all back in the new year. ✨

Little objects can be a choking risk. A quick check of the play area helps keep children safe as they explore.

Did you know…. Even missing one or two days a week can add up to over a month of lost learning across the year! 💭

Let’s grow strong roots for great attendance together 🌳

🚗 Car Seat & Seatbelt Safety Reminder 🧒

A quick reminder to all our lovely families — please make sure your little ones are safely and correctly secured in their car seats or seatbelts every time you travel to and from preschool.

✅ Use the right car seat or booster for your child’s age, height, and weight
✅ Fasten belts or harnesses before setting off
✅ Keep children seated and buckled in at all times

Even short trips count when it comes to safety! Thank you for helping keep all our little stars safe on the road 💛
