School Readiness

We understand that all children develop at their own pace, and that we're all learning from birth. When it's time to start school, some chilren will need more help than others.

There are key skills that children need before they start their first day in reception.

If your child is already at nursery, in pre-school, or with a child minder, professionals will work with your and your child to help them get ready.

There's lots you can do at home to build your child's confidence and independence, helping them feel emotionally and practically prepared to start school.

Take a look at the leaflet to see how you can help at home.
