School Readiness

To give your child the best start possible to school you can help develop their independence and self help skills with things like:

* toileting and washing their own hands

* dressing themselves 

* putting their coat and shoes on by themselves

* playing with others and beginning to take turns

* beginning to listen to other people

Here are some great websites with lots of information for parents.

This fantastic website 'BBC Tiny Happy People' contains so much information on Child Development and has so much advice on getting ready for starting school! We love their 'Starting Reception Skills' booklet.
