Is your child starting school soon?
Starting school is a big step. You may be worried that they’re not ready, but when it comes to preparing for school, you’re probably already doing more than you think.

Simple, everyday moments like chatting, playing, reading together and encouraging independence all help build the skills that help them to feel confident. It’s not about ticking off a list – it’s about small steps that add up over time.

Whether your child is starting school this September or in the years ahead, you can start to practise these skills together now. Building these habits early supports their development and helps them settle into school with confidence.
