Starting school
Preparing your child to start school
Beginning school marks a significant milestone for both children and parents, filled with a blend of excitement and apprehension. At New Beginnings, we are dedicated to guiding children through their transition to school whilst keeping parents informed at every stage of the journey. By collaborating as a united home and nursery team, we believe that children are well-prepared for this change.
Take time to go through each section to learn more about our strategy for preparing your child for school and supporting them at every level of their learning journey. If you have any questions then always get in touch with your nursery manager..
Throughout your child's journey at New Beginnings, we will concentrate on equipping them for each phase of their learning by cultivating essential skills, abilities, and attitudes. We aim to make sure that children are not just 'school-ready,' but also develop a healthy and positive outlook towards lifelong learning.
We focus on key attributes such as Resilience, Endeavour, Attitude, Desire, Individuality, Nurture, Excitement, Self-Esteem, and Specialness. Our continual commitment to fostering 'Readiness' skills will help ensure that all children feel not only prepared but also excited and confident as they embark on their transition to 'big school.'
Best start in life
Starting school is a big step. You may be worried that they’re not ready, but when it comes to preparing for school, you’re probably already doing more than you think.
Simple, everyday moments like chatting, playing, reading together and encouraging independence all help build the skills that help them to feel confident. Whether your child is starting school this September or in the years ahead, you can start to practise these skills together now. Building these habits early supports their development and helps them settle into school with confidence.
