Reception Ready

How can I help my child get ready for reception?

  • Your child will have lots of new activities and routines to get used to when they start school. There are some things they’ll need to do more independently than they might have before.
  • Research shows that a child’s relationship with their parents is the most important factor in their development, and there’s a lot you can do at home.
  • When your child is at home with you or another caregiver, you can practise as a family with fun activities
  • Some of these skills take time to master, so it’s good to introduce them gradually as part of your daily routine. 

Below are skills that you could practise with your child before they start Reception:
