Give your child the opportunity to play, learn and grow in a loving, supportive environment.
Our FS2 Program marks an important milestone in your child’s early educational journey. At Kinder Castle Nursery, we prepare children for a smooth transition into primary school by offering a well-balanced program that blends structured learning with creativity, exploration, and play. FS2 learners are curious, growing in independence, and eager to understand the world around them - and our curriculum is designed to nurture exactly that.

Advanced Early Learning Foundations
• Our FS2 curriculum builds on FS1 by introducing more structured literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking tasks. Children develop focus, responsibility, and key academic skills for Year 1 readiness.
• Phonics, reading, and early writing activities strengthen sound recognition, vocabulary, and sentence-building. These foundational literacy skills boost early reading confidence.
• Numeracy lessons explore addition, subtraction, patterns, shapes, and measurements through hands-on games and reasoning tasks. Children gain a strong sense of logic and number fluency.
• Inquiry-based learning and simple science projects spark curiosity. Children observe, ask questions, and explore the world through active investigation.
Social, Emotional & Creative Growth
• FS2 children develop emotional intelligence through guided group work, empathy-based activities, and daily routines. They learn responsibility, cooperation, and respectful communication.
• Through art, music, drama, and pretend play, children express themselves freely. Creative activities support confidence, imagination, and emotional development.
• Show-and-tell, role-play, and circle-time discussions help children articulate their thoughts. These experiences build clear communication and presentation skills.
• Classroom habits like turn-taking, listening, and task completion help establish early discipline. Children gain confidence and a strong sense of belonging.
Physical Confidence & Parent Partnership
• Daily physical activities -climbing, dancing, writing, and crafting -support both gross and fine motor development. Movement is purposeful, playful, and developmental.
• Outdoor learning encourages balance, coordination, and teamwork. We integrate physical development into every part of the day.
• Our learning spaces are safe, structured, and stimulating, designed to promote independent choice, exploration, and focus. Each child feels secure and empowered in their environment.
