Our Sessions

Our aim is to support children, families and communities to aspire and achieve

We all want our children to thrive, to be happy and healthy and to reach their potential. To do this they need the best possible start in life. Aspire Foundation Early Years will support children and families to achieve this.

We provide early education at four centres across Cheltenham and one in Tewkesbury. Our settings are warm and nurturing, providing care and high-quality resources including staff who are highly trained in developing children’s communication and language skills. Children have rich learning experiences in stimulating and exciting environments.

A child’s wellbeing is at the heart of our provision

We pride ourselves on promoting each child’s happiness together with their learning and development. 

We provide a welcoming and nurturing environment, where children have the opportunity to have fun, explore and follow their own interests, building on what they already know and giving them opportunities to gain a sense of independence and belonging, allowing them to flourish in our care. We offer play-based activities indoors and outdoors linked to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

Our staff are qualified and caring individuals who always put the child first and we pride ourselves on the close working relationships we have with our families, supporting you to be actively involved in your child’s learning. Your child’s progress will be monitored, developed and encouraged by their key person, so that they are ready for their move to school when the time comes. We use the online learning journal Tapestry.

We provide children with the best possible care and educational opportunities regardless of any disability or special need. All our settings are accessible and have appropriate facilities.

Sessions are available for children aged from 2-4 years, mornings and afternoons and ‘School days’ from Monday to Friday during term time.
