āļøDo you have a child starting school in September?
āļøWould you like them to practise the skills they need to start school confidently?
āļøDoes the idea of forming a small, supportive community sound ideal?
Here's a brief overview of what you can expect from the School Starters Programme 2026:
š Our School Starters Programme is designed to help your child settle into school confidently, while offering you resources, ideas and a supportive community along the way.
š I'll share insights into what your child's teacher would love them to be able to do before they start in September and help you achieve this with your child.
This 2-week intensive programme condenses our 4-week programme into 2 slightly longer sessions.
Each week, weāll build confidence through:
āØ following simple routines
āØ snack time and independence
āØ joining in and listening
āØ feeling comfortable in a group
All in a calm, familiar environment, with parents there for reassurance and support.
Whatās included:
š 2x 80-minute in-person sessions
š small group (max 10 children)
š weekly take-home ideas and activities
š WhatsApp support throughout
š school readiness guide
By the end of the programme, many children will:
āØ feel more confident in a group
āØ be familiar with simple routines
āØ enjoy joining in and taking part
āØ feel more comfortable with what school might be like
Youāll also come away with:
š simple, realistic ideas to use at home
š a clearer sense of what to expect in September
š reassurance that your child is feeling more school-ready
