Starting school is a big step, for children and for parents.

This webinar will help calm your nerves and ensure you know what 'ready for school' really means, as it's not just getting school uniform and labelling it!

Now most of you know which school your child is going to, the questions shift and the worries grow:

Will my child be ready?
Will they make friends?
What can I actually do between now and September that will help them smash it?

This live parent session is designed to give you clarity, confidence, and practical, realistic, fun ideas

you can use with your child straight away, without pressure or unrealistic expectations.

Watch on replay till Monday 11th, 9pm

👀 What this live session will cover:

This is not a checklist or a rush to "get them ready". It's about understanding what really supports children as they move into school, and turning that into simple things you can do at home.

In this free session, we’ll cover:

What school readiness really means

👉What actually matters in Reception, and what doesn’t
👉The common myths that cause unnecessary worry
👉How to look at readiness in a calm, realistic way

Confidence, emotions and separation

👉How children feel about starting school, even when they seem confident
👉What helps them feel secure with new adults, spaces and routines
👉Simple ways to support a smooth, calm start

Communication, independence and early foundations

👉 The everyday skills children use all day in school
👉 How these can be developed naturally through home life
👉 What really makes a difference over time

Friendships, play and social confidence

👉 What usually happens socially in the first few weeks
👉 What’s normal, and what develops gradually
👉 How children build confidence in group situations

Everyday routines and practical preparation

👉 What’s genuinely helpful to practise before school
👉 What you don’t need to worry about yet
👉 How to prepare without it feeling like work

The summer term and what to focus on next

👉 What to do now, what can wait, and what matters most
👉 How to approach the time between visits and starting school
👉 A calm, manageable way to prepare over the coming months

Throughout the session, I'll share practical, often playful ideas you can try with your child,

so you leave knowing not just what matters, but how to support it.
