The Foundations Advantage gives calm clarity for parents with 0-5 year olds who want to get the early years 'just right' so that their child has a strong chance of being successful at real learning (including the following 'hoops')...

the Reception Baseline Assessment,

the Year 1 phonics screening test,

transition to Year 3,

and all forms of future competitive entrance exams!

You don’t need more activities.

You don’t need any pressure, programmes or panic.

What you do need is a clear understanding of what actually matters in the early years and what doesn’t, and how to make the most of your child's capacity to learn effortlessly between the ages of 0-5.

!!!SPOILER ALERT!!! Things won't work well with just an academic focus...the emotional, physical, social and mental development of children are incredibly important too!

This guide shows you which aspects of your child's cognitive development needs to be secured for all round success!

As mentioned, early childhood encompasses a broad and rich range of developmental essentials including mental, physical, emotional and social skills - these are not covered in this guide but I do share further guidance on these aspects elsewhere, including my newsletter.

The Foundations Advantage is a succinct, thoughtful guide (with 101 crucial, cumulative skills, yes...101!) covering 7 YEARS OF ACADEMIC GROWTH designed to help parents with babies, toddlers and preschoolers make sense of early learning from birth to the end of

Year 2, without turning childhood into a raging hot-house project!

It brings calm, evidence-informed clarity to the foundational skills that quietly shape later literacy, numeracy, confidence and learning,

long before tests, labels or comparisons appear

but with confident readiness for them when your child gets to that stage!

This is for you if…

You want to support your child’s learning gently but intentionally!

You sometimes wonder whether you’re doing ‘enough’ or focusing on the 'right things'!

You value play, language and connection, but want to understand their deeper purpose!

You want long-term confidence for your child and not short-term performance!

This is not about accelerating your child's natural progress.

It’s about understanding how learning really develops and choosing to support it wisely!

What you’ll gain from The Foundations Advantage

✔ A clear picture of the core foundations that support learning from birth to the end of Year 2

✔ Insight into which early skills truly matter and which concerns are just noise

✔ Reassurance that everyday play, talk and routines are already doing important work

✔ A calm framework for noticing and strengthening learning that can be developed through ordinary life

✔ Confidence that you are laying the groundwork for later reading, writing, mathematical and school success, without pressure.

Think of it as a way of seeing early learning more clearly!

Why this approach is different

Most guidance for parents swings between two extremes:

vague reassurance or over-structured programmes

that turn childhood into a checklist.

The Foundations Advantage sits in the middle.

It respects childhood and intelligence.

It lists how 101 skills (which aren't definitive by any means) can build real learning capacity, without rushing ahead or leaving things to chance.

Created by an experienced educator

This guide is written by Miralee Askew; an experienced educator, former school leader and early learning specialist with over 40 years spent across early years, primary, state and independent education.

It is shaped by decades inside real classrooms, alongside lived experience as a parent and by a deep understanding of what helps children thrive over time.
