The Foundation Years Trust

The Foundation Years Trust’s objective is that all children start school on an equal footing, no matter what their family's income or social background. 

The first five years are the most crucial period in a child’s life and because parents and carers are their child’s first and most enduring educator, we put parents at the heart of our programme.

We believe that every parent can benefit from support to better understand and actively encourage their child’s early development and that every parent wants the best for their children.

The Foundation Years Trust works with early years settings across the Wirral, and with parents directly, to help parents provide a positive learning environment at home.

Our ultimate goal is to narrow the attainment gap between children who grow up in areas of poverty and their richer peers.
