Is your child preparing to start reception this September? 🤔🎒🏫
We’re launching a new campaign called ‘Get ready with Teddy’ to support you in getting your little ones ready to take those big first steps into full-time education. 🧸
As part of this, we have a brand-new programme of fun activities across selected Best Start Family Hubs which focus on all the key skills your child will need to settle happily and confidently into the classroom.
We’re also giving out ‘Get ready with Teddy’ teddy bears through local early years providers so your children can take their bears along with them on this exciting journey.
To learn more about our campaign and how you can get involved in our programme, come along to our Teddy Saturday event on Saturday 25 April, 9.30am-12.30pm, at the following Best Start Family Hubs.
🧸 Derby Street Best Start Family Hub
🧸 Newbold Best Start Family Hub
🧸 Belfield Best Start Family Hub
🧸 Langley Best Start Family Hub
🧸 Howard Street Best Start Family Hub
Here not only will your children enjoy lots of great teddy-related activities, you will also have the chance to speak with a range of early years professionals and ask any questions you may have about your child’s development.
