ā“ļøDo you have a child starting school in September?

ā“ļøWould you love them to start school feeling confident, independent and ready?

ā“ļøDoes the idea of forming a small, supportive community sound ideal?

If so, our School Starters Programme is just for you.

Here's a brief overview of what you can expect from the School Starters Programme 2026:

🌟 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.

🌟 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.

Each week, we’ll build confidence through:
✨ following simple routines
✨ snack time and independence
✨ joining in and listening
✨ feeling comfortable in a group

All in a calm, familiar environment, with parents there for reassurance and support.

What’s included:

šŸ’› 3 in-person sessions
šŸ’› small group (max 10 children)
šŸ’› weekly take-home ideas and activities
šŸ’› WhatsApp support throughout
šŸ’› school readiness guide

By the end of the programme, many children will:
✨ feel more confident in a group
✨ be familiar with simple routines
✨ enjoy joining in and taking part
✨ feel more comfortable with what school might be like

You’ll also come away with:

šŸ’› simple, realistic ideas to use at home
šŸ’› a clearer sense of what to expect in September
šŸ’› reassurance that your child is feeling more school-ready
