Families with young children (4-10 years)
Their first day at school is a huge milestone for you child and your child
This section of our website gives advice from getting your child ready for school, your child's development stages, to local activities. We’ve got lots of tips to get you both off to a good start.
Child Development
As your toddler turns 3, they’re likely to be more independent than ever, and may want to go off on their own to explore, so you’ll need eyes in the back of your head as they get older - the more you can do to encourage them to do things for themselves, the better. This will really help them when they start school.
School Readiness
School readiness means that your child has a range of knowledge and skills that will enable them to make progress through school and life. Your child being school ready is very important.
