The Foundation Stage guidance underpins all future learning in the Foundation Stage by supporting, fostering, promoting and developing children’s personal, social and emotional well-being. It prepares children for future schooling and to help transfer to the next stage without stress. It provides for all children to succeed at their own level in an atmosphere of care and of feeling valued.
