Is your child starting Reception this September? ❤️🎒
For some parents, this is your first child starting “big school” and you’re quietly wondering:
Will they cope? Will they settle? Will they make friends? Will they be able to keep up?
And sometimes, you’ve done this before with an older child… but you know this child is different.
That’s okay. Every child needs their own starting point.
Getting ready for Reception isn’t just about knowing the alphabet or counting to 20.
It’s also about helping your child:
✅Recognise and look after their own belongings
✅Become more independent with dressing and everyday routines
✅Communicate their needs and ask for help
✅Listen to stories, follow simple instructions and build early literacy skills
✅Develop confidence with early numbers and mathematical thinking
✅Share, take turns and interact with other children
✅Feel secure, confident and excited about starting school
That’s why our Reception classes are designed to help children build the foundations they need before stepping into Reception.
Not to rush childhood.
Not to turn learning into pressure.
But to help your child arrive at “big school” feeling more confident, capable and ready to learn.
👇 Comment “RECEPTION” and let’s help you give your child a smoother, more confident start to their Reception journey.
Because the goal isn’t to have a child who knows everything before school starts. It’s to help them feel ready for everything that comes next. ❤️
