Iqra Pre-school follows the British National Curriculum for the foundation stage, children from the age of three up to the end of the reception year. The early learning goals set out in this curriculum set high expectations for the end of the foundation stage, but expectations which are achievable for most children.

We provide learning experiences of the highest quality throughout the foundation stage while allowing flexibility to the unique needs of each child, ensuring a secure foundation on which future learning can build. Our contribution to this critical stage in the early development and learning of the children is a hugely positive one. Children develop rapidly during this time - physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially. The foundation stage is about developing key learning skills such as listening, speaking, concentration, persistence and learning to work together and cooperate with other children. It is also about developing early communication, literacy and numeric skills that will prepare young children for key stage 1 of the national curriculum.
