Newsletter ArchiveReady for School?At preschool we are working towards preparing your child to be ready for school. The leaflet below, produced by Central Bedfordshire Council, outlines the essential skills we are looking for children to build by the time they start school.
There is also lots of helpful information for parents about preparing your child for school on the PACEY (Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years) website If you have any concerns about your child's readiness for school you can always speak to their key-worker about this. |
